Biometric technology and smartphones: a consideration of the practicalities of a broad adoption of biometrics and the likely impacts
(IEEE, 2016-04)The Widespread Global Adoption of Smartphones across all demographics and the rapid commoditization of the technology to the point at which an entry-level device can be sold profitably for less than US$100 suggest that we ... -
Biometrically auditable public key infrastructure technology for secure multimedia content
(IEEE, 2005-05-16)A system for signing and tracing the use of digital content based on biometrically generated key-pairs is described. The system is designed to protect the fair use rights of end-users and can be readily incorporated into ... -
Biometrics and Consumer Electronics: A Brave New World or the Road to Dystopia?[Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2013-04)Biometric systems confirm a person's identity by extracting and comparing patterns in their physical characteristics against computer records of those patterns. Examples include scans of the face, iris, or retina; measurements ... -
Biomodels of bone: a review
(Springer, 2005)In this paper, a definition of a biomodel is presented, based on which different specific types of biomodels are identified, viz., virtual biomodels, computational biomodels, and physical biomodels. The paper then focuses ... -
Brace response and assessment: computation, experiments and design (BRACED)
(Seismic engineering research infrastructures for European synergies (SERIES) , Project No.: 227887, 2013)The BRACED project investigated the ultimate behaviour of concentrically braced frames(CBFs). The research programme was designed to validate empirical models for theductility capacity of hollow section bracing members and ... -
Broadening Our Horizons [Notes from the Editor]
(IEEE, 2014-04)As many of you will be aware,IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine evolved from the quarterly newsletter of the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society. Jim Farmer edited the newsletter before I took over from him during 2010. ... -
Browser-style interfaces to a home automation network
(IEEE, 1997)The design and implementation of a browser-style interface to a home automation network is described. The interface supports browsing and navigation of network devices and context structures and the user can ... -
Business Modelling to Support the Development of Integrated Process Support Systems in the Extended Enterprise
(1999)Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in the areas of Business Process Reengineering(BPR) and Software Engineering. In order for BPR to work, successful deployment of Information Technology is imperative, with the ... -
Calibrated CFD simulation to evaluate thermal comfort in a highly-glazed naturally ventilated room
(2013)Natural ventilation is a sustainable solution to maintaining healthy and comfortable environmental conditions in buildings. However, the effective design, construction and operation of naturally ventilated buildings require ... -
Carbon and nitrogen dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions in constructed wetlands treating wastewaters: a review
(2016-02-17)The removal efficiency of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in constructed wetlands (CWs) is very inconsistent and frequently does not reveal whether the removal processes are due to physical attenuation or whether the different ... -
CEBus network access via the world-wide-web
(IEEE, 1996)Several methods of providing access to CEBus networks using the World Wide Web are described. Details of a working demonstration system are given. The system software incorporates CGI-Bin scripts and Java applets ... -
Cellular contractility and substrate elasticity: a numerical investigation of the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion
(Springer Verlag, 2013-06-18)Numerous experimental studies have established that cells can sense the stiffness of underlying substrates and have quantified the effect of substrate stiffness on stress fibre formation, focal adhesion area, cell traction, ... -
Champions in our midst: the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
(IEEE, 2016-01)In this issue, we are very proud to introduce you to one of the best-known early pioneers of the computer industry. His work on the early Apple computers catalyzed today's home computer industry, and he participated directly ... -
Champions in our midst: the father of digital video broadcasting
(IEEE, 2015)One of the benefits of joining the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society is that you get access to senior engineers and researchers from our industry. They are often at our conferences, workshops, and local Chapter meetings ... -
Characterization of separated pig manure composted with a variety of bulking agents at low initial C/N ratios
(2011)The aim of this study was to investigate the composting of separated pig manure solids with or without a variety of bulking agents at a low initial C/N ratio (12.5-23.3). Compost stability was investigated using an oxygen ... -
Chemical amendment of pig slurry: control of runoff related risks due to episodic rainfall events up to 48 hours after application.
(2013)Losses of phosphorus (P) from soil and slurry during episodic rainfall events can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. However, chemical amendments have the potential to decrease P and suspended solids (SS) losses ... -
Classification of a Target Analyte in Solid Mixtures using Principal Component Analysis, Support Vector Machines and Raman Spectroscopy
(2005)The quantitative analysis of illicit materials using Raman spectroscopy is of widespread interest for law enforcement and healthcare applications. One of the difficulties faced when analysing illicit mixtures is the ... -
Cloud computing and consumer electronics: a perfect match or a hidden storm? [Soapbox]
