The index to the second edition of The Canadian Encyclopedia was prepared on an ibm pc-xt personal computer using the ibm Professional Editor, custom programs written in ibm Pascal, and TEX1 a high quality typesetting program developed by Donald E. Knuth of Stanford University in California. The entries were chosen and keyed in by the indexer, and then alphabetized, formatted, and typeset by the computer. An unusual data entry format together with good typesetting software made possible the delivery to the printer of the 372 page camera ready index less than two weeks after the indexer received the final pages of text. TEX (which rhymes with ‘blecchhh’ not the letter ‘X’) provides fully automatic pagination.

With the current Internet bandwidth capacities and machine processing performance the personal computer has become an affordable and flexible multimedia platform for high quality audio and video content. Besides the delivery of services such as TV, telephone and radio, the Internet can also be used for the instantaneous bidirectional exchange of musical information. Due to the variety and complexity of already existing remote music and communication approaches, an elaboration on this topic is mandatory, which covers any relevant musical, technical or interdisciplinary aspect of remote musical interaction. Therefore, this chapter gives an overview of currently applied technologies and possibilities with their theoretical background.

Parallel Decoding

360-degree video streaming for high-quality virtual reality (VR) is challenging for current wireless systems because of the huge bandwidth it requires. However, millimeter wave (mmWave) communications in the 60 GHz band has gained considerable interest from the industry and academia because it promises gigabit wireless connectivity in the huge unlicensed bandwidth (i.e., up to 7 GHz). This massive unlicensed bandwidth offers great potential for addressing the demand for 360-degree video streaming. This paper investigates the problem of 360-degree video streaming for mobile VR using the SHVC, the scalable of High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard and PC offloading over 60 GHz networks. We present a conceptual architecture based on advanced tiled-SHVC and mmWave communications. This architecture comprises two main parts. (1) Tile-based SHVC for 360-degree video streaming and optimizing parallel decoding. (2) Personal Computer (PC) offloading mechanism for transmitting uncompressed video (viewport only). The experimental results show that our tiled extractor method reduces the bandwidth required for 360-degree video streaming by more than 47% and the tile partitioning mechanism was improved by up to 25% in terms of the decoding time. The PC offloading mechanism was also successful in offloading 360-degree decoded (or viewport only) video to mobile devices using mmWave communication and the proposed transmission schemes.

Welding System

The formation of stable back beads in the first layer weld during one side multilayer welding is important to achieve high quality welded metal joints. The authors thus employed the switch back welding method for the welding of V groove joints without backing plates. In this method, the personal computers control a welding robot, a digital welding power source and a wire feeder, simultaneously. Each unit is connected together with Ethernet and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). The personal computer for controlling the welding robot is synchronized with other computers. The suitability of the welding conditions for each root gap was verified by observation of the arc, molten pool and external appearance of back beads.

Digital Restoration

A method for digital restoration of phonograph recordings contaminated by impulsive noise is proposed. Impulses are suppressed by applying median filtering on contaminated signal regions only, thus minimizing distortion of clean passages and loss of high musical frequencies. The algorithm can be implemented on a personal computer equipped with any inexpensive sound board, and thus it can be used for the restoration of damaged records in home collections. In experiments with old recordings the improvement in sound quality was dramatic. The restored audio signal can be archived in digital form on regular computer back-up tapes or on digital audio tapes, or it can be played through the sound board and stored onto an analog recording media such as high-quality cassette tapes.

And Training

The use of computers for teaching and training has long been a controversial issue. Up to the 1980s, many educators who were keen to use computers to pass on knowledge developed various computer-based teaching and training materials, but most of these materials were capable only of delivering information in text with perhaps some computer graphics, and in many cases it proved difficult to raise learners' interest in the subject matters (Patrick & Fitzgibbon, 1988). In the 1990s, there has been cheerful news for procomputer educators; the latest multimedia technology could be the solution to the problem. Using a multimedia personal computer we can retrieve information in diverse formats: text, high-quality audio, still and animated graphics, and still and moving pictures.DOI:10.1080/0968776950030102

The developing improvements in electrical power physical body functional demands ask for a spread control center that is actually decentralized, incorporated, versatile, and additionally readily available. Modern nerve center is in fact transferring that direction along with differing degrees of results. Device broad installed phasor dimension devices deliver their determined information to a main personal computer, where snapshots of the compelling device actions are offered online. This brand-new high quality of body details opens up a variety of new apps to assess and also actively preserve unit's security just in case of voltage, slant or even regularity weakness, thermic overload, and oscillations. Recent established protocols as well as their layout for these application regions are offered

The unique 70-cm meniscus-type telescope of the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory supplied with two objective prisms and the seeing conditions characteristic at Mount Kanobili (Abastumani) permit us to obtain stellar spectra of a high quality. No additional design to improve the “climate” immediately around the telescope itself is being applied. The dispersions and photographic magnitude limits are 160 and 660Å/mm, and 12–13, respectively. The short-wave end of spectra reaches 3500–3400Å.

Standard Techniques

Standard techniques of electropolishing silver and silver alloys for electron microscopy in most instances have relied on various CN recipes. These methods have been characteristically unsatisfactory due to difficulties in obtaining large electron transparent areas, reproducible results, adequate solution lifetimes, and contamination free sample surfaces. In addition, there are the inherent health hazards associated with the use of CN solutions. Various attempts to develop noncyanic methods of electropolishing specimens for electron microscopy have not been successful in that the specimen quality problems encountered with the CN solutions have also existed in the previously proposed non-cyanic methods.The technique we describe allows us to jet polish high quality silver and silver alloy microscope specimens with consistant reproducibility and without the use of CN salts.The solution is similar to that suggested by Myschoyaev et al. It consists, in order of mixing, 115ml glacial actic acid (CH3CO2H, specific wt 1.04 g/ml), 43ml sulphuric acid (H2SO4, specific wt. g/ml), 350 ml anhydrous methyl alcohol, and 77 g thiourea (NH2CSNH2).
