The emerging JBIG2 standard allows compliant encoders to achieve very high compression rates on bi-level images, especially when images are properly segmented into regions of line...
To offset the significant power demands of hard disk drives in computer systems, drives are typically powered down during idle periods. This saves power, but accelerates duty cyc...

This paper addresses the problem of self localization of mobile devices. In particular, each device combines noisy measurements of its absolute position with distance measurements...
Certain manufacturing steps in very deep submicron VLSI involve chemical-mechanical polishing CMP which has varying e ects on device and interconnect features, depending on loca...
