The system is evaluated on real images and achieves accurate detection and recognition even with low resolution pixels. The key modules discussed are image segmentation, detection using RANSAC, and recognition using CCA and support vector machines. Challenges like varying lighting conditions and character quality are also addressed.
IRJET- I-Share: A Secure Way to Share ImagesIRJET Journal
This document presents a secure method called "I-Share" for sharing encrypted images over a public network like the internet. It uses Quick Response (QR) codes to encrypt images using an optical encryption method called Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE) that adds speckle noise. The proposed method converts images to binary data, cuts it into segments to fit into QR codes, encrypts the QR codes using DRPE, then decrypts and reconstructs the original image from the decrypted QR codes without speckle noise. This provides enhanced security compared to traditional DRPE by separating the encrypted data from the speckle noise using the QR codes. The method was designed for an Android application to securely transfer encrypted images over networks.

Rfid Applications In Manufacturing Draft 7laser1971
RFID applications in manufacturing have evolved beyond just attaching tags to items. Middleware is used to filter redundant tag data and translate it into a format usable by applications. Current common applications are driven by external mandates to attach tags for tracking shipments. Many companies take a "slap and ship" approach where tags are attached by third parties. However, RFID also enables in-house applications like tracking tools and parts on the factory floor. Further applications could integrate RFID with production systems for mixed-model assembly and inventory management. Wider adoption faces challenges from the lower costs of established barcode technology.

White paper on ESD protection for 40nm/28nmbart_keppens
40/28nm ESD approach
On-chip ESD protection clamps for advanced 40nm and 28nm CMOS technology
Despite the rising cost for IC development, EDA tools and mask sets semiconductor design companies continue to use the most advanced CMOS technology for high performance applications because benefits like lower power dissipation, increased gate density, higher speed and lower manufacturing cost per die more than compensate the higher cost.
This return on investment however only pays off for ultra high volume applications. Due to the use of sensitive elements (such as ultra thin-oxide transistors, ultra-shallow junctions, narrow and thin metal layers), increased complexity through multiple voltage domains and the use of IP blocks from various vendors, a comprehensive ESD protection strategy becomes more important.
This white paper presents on-chip ESD protection clamps and approaches for 40/28nm CMOS that provide competitive advantage by improved yield, reduced silicon footprint and enable advanced multimedia and wireless interfaces like HDMI, USB 3.0, SATA, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth. The solutions are validated in tens of products running in foundry and proprietary fabrication plants.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
