  • Programming-8Bit-PIC
    Foreword Embedded microcontrollers are everywhere today. In the average household you will find them far beyond the obvious places like cell phones, calculators, and MP3 players. Hardly any new appliance arrives in the home without at least one controller and, most likely, there will be several—one microcontroller for the user interface (buttons and display), another to control the motor, and perhaps even an overall system manager. This applies whether the appliance in question is a washing machine, garage door opener, curling iron, or toothbrush. If the product uses a rechargeable battery, modern high density battery chemistries require intelligent chargers. A decade ago, there were significant barriers to learning how to use microcontrollers. The cheapest programmer was about a hundred dollars and application development required both erasable windowed parts—which cost about ten times the price of the one time programmable (OTP) version—and a UV Eraser to erase the windowed part. Debugging tools were the realm of professionals alone. Now most microcontrollers use Flash-based program memory that is electrically erasable. This means the device can be reprogrammed in the circuit—no UV eraser required and no special packages needed for development. The total cost to get started today is about twenty-five dollars which buys a PICkit™ 2 Starter Kit, providing programming and debugging for many Microchip Technology Inc. MCUs. Microchip Technology has always offered a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) including an assembler and a simulator. It has never been less expensive to get started with embedded microcontrollers than it is today. While MPLAB® includes the assembler for free, assembly code is more cumbersome to write, in the first place, and also more difficult to maintain.

The called finder patterns, which consist of three fixed algorithm exploits the fact that QR bar codes are prototypical images for which part of the image is a squares at the top and bottom left corners of the priori known (finder patterns). The method has four image, a smaller square near the bottom right corner steps: (i) denoising of the entire image via a suitably for alignment and two lines of pixels connecting the weighted TV flow; (ii) using a priori knowledge of one two top corners at their bottoms and the two left of the finder corners to apply a higher-order smooth corners at their right sides.

  • Computation Offloading of Augmented Reality in Warehouse Order Picking
    Computation Offloading Of Augmented Reality In Warehouse Order Picking Creative Technology Bachelor of Science Thesis Harald Eversmann July, 2019 UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) Supervisor Dr. Job Zwiers Critical observer Dr. Randy Klaassen Client Gerben Hillebrand CaptureTech Corporation B.V. [Page intentionally left blank] 1 ABSTRACT A novel method is proposed to implement computation offloading in augmented reality (AR) technology, such that said technology can be of more use for industrial purposes, and in this case specifically, warehouse order picking. The proposed method utilises a wireless connection between the AR device in question and a server and lets them communicate with each other via video and MJPEG live streams. Experiments show promising results for the prototype, but not yet in terms of fully offloading the AR devices workload. It is expected that rising technologies like faster Wi-Fi connection can help in the successful conclusion of fully offloading AR devices. 2 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to express his deep gratitude towards CaptureTech Corporation B.V. and in particular Gerben Hillebrand for the opportunity, knowledge, and resources to make this research project possible. The author thanks Dr. J. Zwiers for his continuous supervision and assistance throughout the entire graduation project in question. Additionally, the author would also like to ex- press his thanks to Dr. R. Klaassen for his role as critical observer during the process

    Perl Debugged By Peter Scott, Ed Wright Publisher : Addison Wesley Pub Date : March 01, 2001 ISBN : 0-201-70054-9 Table of • Pages : 288 Contents "This book was a joy to read. It covered all sorts of techniques for debugging, including 'defensive' paradigms that will eliminate bugs in the first place. As coach of the USA Programming Team, I find the most difficult thing to teach is debugging. This is the first text I've even heard of that attacks the problem. It does a fine job. Please encourage these guys to write more." -Rob Kolstad Perl Debugged provides the expertise and solutions developers require for coding better, faster, and more reliably in Perl. Focusing on debugging, the most vexing aspect of programming in Perl, this example-rich reference and how-to guide minimizes development, troubleshooting, and maintenance time resulting in the creation of elegant and error-free Perl code. Designed for the novice to intermediate software developer, Perl Debugged will save the programmer time and frustration in debugging Perl programs. Based on the authors' extensive experience with the language, this book guides developers through the entire programming process, tackling the benefits, plights, and pitfalls of Perl programming. Beginning with a guided tour of the Perl documentation, the book progresses to debugging, testing, and performance issues, and also devotes a chapter to CGI programming in Perl. Throughout the book, the authors espouse defensible paradigms for improving the accuracy and performance of Perl code. In addition, Perl Debugged includes Scott and Wright's "Perls of Wisdom" which summarize key ideas from each of the chapters, and an appendix containing a comprehensive listing of Perl debugger commands.

  • Rubabel: Wrapping Open Babel with Ruby Rob Smith1*, Ryan Williamson1, Dan Ventura1 and John T Prince2*
    Smith et al. Journal of Cheminformatics 2013, 5:35 http://www.jcheminf.com/content/5/1/35 SOFTWARE Open Access Rubabel: wrapping open Babel with Ruby Rob Smith1*, Ryan Williamson1, Dan Ventura1 and John T Prince2* Abstract Background: The number and diversity of wrappers for chemoinformatic toolkits suggests the diverse needs of the chemoinformatic community. While existing chemoinformatics libraries provide a broad range of utilities, many chemoinformaticians find compiled language libraries intimidating, time-consuming, arcane, and verbose. Although high-level language wrappers have been implemented, more can be done to leverage the intuitiveness of object-orientation, the paradigms of high-level languages, and the extensibility of languages such as Ruby. We introduce Rubabel, an intuitive, object-oriented suite of functionality that substantially increases the accessibily of the tools in the Open Babel chemoinformatics library. Results: Rubabel requires fewer lines of code than any other actively developed wrapper, providing better object organization and navigation, and more intuitive object behavior than extant solutions. Moreover, Rubabel provides a convenient interface to the many extensions currently available in Ruby, greatly streamlining otherwise onerous tasks such as creating web applications that serve up Rubabel functionality. Conclusions: Rubabel is powerful, intuitive, concise, freely available, cross-platform, and easy to install. We expect it to be a platform of choice for new users, Ruby users, and some users of current solutions. Keywords: Chemoinformatics, Open Babel, Ruby Background tasks. Though it allows the user to access the functionality Despite the fact that chemoinformatics tools have been of the component libraries from one Python script, Cin- developed since the late 1990s [1], the field has yet to fony does not automatically manage underlying data types rally in support of a single library.
