A collaborative knowledge management tool for product innovation
(2000)In order to create and deliver innovative new products and services at an ever increasing rate, manufacturing enterprises must adopt a deliberate and systematic approach to managing the drivers of innovation. Managing the ... -
Product innovation management: Towards a constructive guide
(2000)Manufacturing companies rely heavily on successful new product innovation to maintain profits. Moreover, research indicates that new products will account for a greater percentage of profits in the future (Crawford, 1996). ... -
A web enabled solution for managing distributed product innovation
(2000)New organisational forms such as strategic partnerships and networks are replacing simple market based transactions and traditional bureaucratic, hierarchical organisations. Consequently, a new conception of product design ... -
Innovation management for product and process development
(2000)Industry we are told manages change poorly. Surveys indicate that over 50% of change programmes fail to meet objectives. The reasons cited are all too familiar: poor goal definition, poor alignment of actions to goals and ... -
Xilinx FPGA implementation of a pixel processor for object detection applications
(2000-06)This paper describes an FPGA and distributed RAM architecture for an image pixel processor implementing primary elements of an object detection system. A comparison of the system performance with existing DSP processor-based ... -
Instrumented single and group piles in Belfast soft clay
(Australian Geomechanics Society, 2000-12)The paper presents a number of key findings from an experimental pile test programme, which is currently underway at a soft clay test bed site on the outskirts of Belfast, Northern Ireland. These findings provide additional ... -
Wireless transfer of images from a digital camera to the internet via a standard GSM mobile phone
(IEEE, 2001)In this paper we describe an infrastructure based on an existing, commercially available, GSM mobile phone for achieving connectivity between digital cameras and an Internet Website. Pictures are ... -
Connectivity solutions to link a bluetooth camera to the internet
(IEEE, 2001)Digital photography is gaining day by day more and more credibility over conventional photography due to a number of factors easy to guess. Bluetooth connectivity in the digital camera provides cordless communication with ... -
Image processing techniques to detect and filter objectionable images based on skin tone and shape recognition
(IEEE, 2001-06-09)In this paper we describe image-processing techniques to detect and categorize potentially objectionable images based solely on the image content. The techniques include a novel method of matching skin tones based on a ... -
Methods for detecting objectionable internet images based on graphical content.

Home network infrastructure for handheld/wearable appliances
(IEEE, 2002)A server infrastructure allows wireless wearable appliances or portable handsets to access consumer services offered via the server. Services are accessed via a Universal Home Services Interface (UHSI) which is ... -
Digital camera connectivity solutions using the picture transfer protocol (PTP)
(IEEE, 2002)Interconnectivity of digital camera with other devices is one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras allow more consumer-friendly ... -
Collaborative Virtual Environments to Support Communication and Community in Internet-Based Distance Education
(jite.org, 2002)In this paper we discuss the use of modern information and communication technologies for distance education (DE) purposes. We argue that current technologies and implementations do not adequately support the key concepts ... -
Enterprise modeling for the customer focused company
(2002)The business environment is changing at an accelerated pace. Consequently, continuous systemic changes within companies are imperative. We are witnessing a shift in the way organizations are designed, structured and ... -
