TL;DR: The Nanolithography Toolbox is a platform-independent software package for scripted lithography pattern layout generation and parameterized shapes as building blocks allows users to rapidly design and layout nanoscale devices of arbitrary complexity through scripting and programming.
Abstract: This article introduces in archival form the Nanolithography Toolbox, a platform-independent software package for scripted lithography pattern layout generation. The Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the Nanolithography Toolbox to help users of the CNST NanoFab design devices with complex curves and aggressive critical dimensions. Using parameterized shapes as building blocks, the Nanolithography Toolbox allows users to rapidly design and layout nanoscale devices of arbitrary complexity through scripting and programming. The Toolbox offers many parameterized shapes, including structure libraries for micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) and nanophotonic devices. Furthermore, the Toolbox allows users to precisely define the number of vertices for each shape or create vectorized shapes using Bezier curves. Parameterized control allows users to design smooth curves with complex shapes. The Toolbox is applicable to a broad range of design tasks in the fabrication of microscale and nanoscale devices.

02 May 2012TL;DR: An efficient algorithm for detection of possible occurrences of matrix codes, such as the QR codes, in high-resolution images of real-world scenes is presented, characterized by a very low false negative rate and a reasonable false alarm rate.
Abstract: This paper deals with detection and recognition of matrix codes, such as the QR codes, in high-resolution images of real-world scenes. The goal is to provide a detector capable of operation in real time even on high-resolution images (several megapixels). We present an efficient algorithm for detection of possible occurrences of the codes. This algorithm is characterized by a very low false negative rate and a reasonable false alarm rate. The results of our algorithm are to be followed by an accurate detection/recognition algorithm. We propose to use a recent matrix code detection and recognition algorithm based on Hough transform, because it can reuse some information computed by our new pre-detection algorithm and thus a further reduce of computational demands can be achieved. Since there are no publicly available annotated datasets for evaluation of this kind of algorithm, we collected a number of images and annotated them; these images will be made publicly available to allow for a proper comparison. Our algorithm was evaluated on this dataset and the results are reported in the paper.

TL;DR: The results of the third European Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters held in Walferdange, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in November 2011 are presented in this paper, where two different combinations of data are used.
Abstract: We present the results of the third European Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters held in Walferdange, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in November 2011. Twenty-two gravimeters from both metrological and non-metrological institutes are compared. For the first time, corrections for the laser beam diffraction and the self-attraction of the gravimeters are implemented. The gravity observations are also corrected for geophysical gravity changes that occurred during the comparison using the observations of a superconducting gravimeter. We show that these corrections improve the degree of equivalence between the gravimeters. We present the results for two different combinations of data. In the first one, we use only the observations from the metrological institutes. In the second solution, we include all the data from both metrological and non-metrological institutes. Those solutions are then compared with the official result of the comparison published previously and based on the observations of the metrological institutes and the gravity differences at the different sites as measured by non-metrological institutes. Overall, the absolute gravity meters agree with one another with a standard deviation of 3.1 µGal. Finally, the results of this comparison are linked to previous ones. We conclude with some important recommendations for future comparisons.

TL;DR: The task has been designed to get as close as possible to a practical use case scenario, in which a user would like to retrieve, using speech, utterances containing a given word or short sentence, including those with limited inflectional variations of words, some filler content and/or word re-orderings.
Abstract: In this paper, we describe the “Query by Example Search on Speech Task” (QUESST), held as part of the MediaEval 2015 evaluation campaign. As in previous years, the proposed task requires performing language-independent audio search in a low resource scenario. This year, the task has been designed to get as close as possible to a practical use case scenario, in which a user would like to retrieve, using speech, utterances containing a given word or short sentence, including those with limited inflectional variations of words, some filler content and/or word re-orderings. We also stressed a mismatch caused by noise and reverberations.

01 Jan 2009TL;DR: Different feature types and modeling approaches successfully applied in speakerand language recognition are investigated and the submitted system can achieve an 16% and 9% relative improvement over the best dynamic and static baseline system on the 5-class task, respectively.
Abstract: This paper describes Brno University of Technology (BUT) system for the Interspeech 2009 Emotion Challenge. Our submitted system for the Open Performance Sub-Challenge uses acoustic frame based features as a front-end and Gaussian Mixture Models as a back-end. Different feature types and modeling approaches successfully applied in speakerand language recognition are investigated and we can achieve an 16% and 9% relative improvement over the best dynamic and static baseline system on the 5-class task, respectively.
