TL;DR: In this article, a new method for deriving similarity solutions is introduced by means of simple applications and the results are compared with the results of conventional dimensional analysis, and it is shown that physical properties seem to have no place in similarity analysis.

TL;DR: This work believes that their system is the first to deliver fully interactive, photorealistic image-based tours on a personal computer at or above broadcast video resolutions and frame rates and to their knowledge, no other tour provides the same rich set of interactions or visually complex environments.
Abstract: Interactive scene walkthroughs have long been an important computer graphics application area. More recently, researchers have developed techniques for constructing photorealistic 3D architectural models from real-world images. We present an image-based rendering system that brings us a step closer to a compelling sense of being there. Whereas many previous systems have used still photography and 3D scene modeling, we avoid explicit 3D reconstruction because it tends to be brittle. Our system is not the first to propose interactive video-based tours. We believe, however, that our system is the first to deliver fully interactive, photorealistic image-based tours on a personal computer at or above broadcast video resolutions and frame rates. Moreover, to our knowledge, no other tour provides the same rich set of interactions or visually complex environments.

TL;DR: The eighth edition of this text features more coverage of programmable logic devices (PLDs), and Topics that apply to digital signal processing (DSP), a very rapidly advancing technology in electronics, have been expanded and improved.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
NEW! The eighth edition features more coverage of programmable logic devices (PLDs). This technology is rapidly replacing the use of conventional small- and medium-scale ICs in modern digital systems. Interspersed throughout the text where appropriate, this PLD coverage offers students an alternative means of implementing digital logic circuits, from the simplest gates to complex systems.
NEW! Each text is packaged with two free CD-ROMs. The first CD-ROM contains the entire library of Texas Instruments Logic Data Sheets, including all TTL series, CMOS, and bus interface parts. The second CD-ROM contains:
Circuits from the text rendered in both Electronics Workbench and CircuitMaker ® software programs. Students with access to Electronics Workbench software can open and work interactively with the Electronics Workbench circuit files to increase their understanding of concepts and to prepare for laboratory activities. Free CircuitMaker Student Version software is included on the CD-ROM, enabling students to access the CircuitMaker files.
A limited-compile demonstration version of the PAL Expert CUPL language compiler from Logical Devices, Inc.
UPDATED! Topics that apply to digital signal processing (DSP), a very rapidly advancing technology in electronics, have been expanded and improved.
UPDATED! Digital logic technology coverage and terms often encountered in personal computer literature have been updated and improved.
UPDATED! Students have free access to the text's Companion Website at ...

TL;DR: A local proxy in a home network may identify the device class to which a particular device in the home network belongs based on the receipt of a message requesting a network address for use by the device as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A local proxy in a home network may identify the device class to which a particular device in the home network belongs based on the receipt of a message requesting a network address for use by the device. A device class may include a broad category to describe the device (such as, a gaming device, a personal computer, an appliance, or a PDA), the type of platform (e.g., the type of hardware, such as a Macintosh™ personal computer, a Windows™-based personal computer, a Linux™-based personal computer, a PDA, a home appliance, or an entertainment device), and/or the operating environment (e.g., operating system type and/or version). The local proxy associates the device class with the device. The local proxy may process a request from a device in a home network based on the device class of the device that sent the request. For example, access to a game available on the home network may be restricted to a gaming device or personal computer. Access to financial information stored on the home network may be restricted by a computing device capable of processing financial information, such as a personal digital assistant or personal computer.

TL;DR: In this article, a microprocessor (22), a floppy disk controller (24), a hard disk drive (26), a system memory (31), a video controller (32), and an internal data bus (34) interconnects the components in a conventional way.
Abstract: A system controls acccess to a personal computer (10). The personal computer includes a microprocessor (22); a floppy disk controller (24); a floppy disk drive (26); a hard disk controller (28); a hard disk drive (30); a system memory (31); and, a video controller (32). An internal data bus (34) interconnects the components in a conventional way. Peripheral devices include a keyboard (35); a mouse (36); and, a printer (38). The personal computer further includes several lines (40, 42, 44, 58); several bus lines (52, 54, 56); several ports (46, 48, 50); and, a monitor (60).
