Dominique Segers - Demand-driven research in Medical Imagingimec.archive
Barco conducts demand-driven research in medical imaging through various research frameworks and projects. They collaborate with research partners to master multiple disciplines for complex products, identify new technologies, and reduce risks. Some examples of Barco's research include projects on medical virtual imaging chains, color and multi-dimensional image processing, and telesurgery. They test new innovations like their QA Web quality assurance service for medical displays at the IBBT iLab.t test lab.
The document discusses coverage aspects of a DVB-H system in Ghent, Belgium. It examines coverage of a single transmitter, wireless penetration of 100 buildings, and technical performance across different reception scenarios. It then calculates the required number of transmitters to provide good indoor coverage for Flanders under different scenarios involving low, medium, and high transmitter categories. The key finding is that indoor coverage requires a very high number of transmitters and is highly sensitive to carrier-to-noise ratio.
Tagging allows listeners to enhance their music experience by sending an SMS code to receive access codes for additional content. Over 4.6 million people in Flanders listen to the radio daily for 175-266 minutes. While most music content is free, 10% of concertgoers pay for exclusive content, spending more on live music than recorded. Tagger.fm aims to enhance the brand experience through interactive media that builds profiles from fan opinions across radio, TV, and print.

1) The document discusses the concept of the "digital dividend" which refers to the benefits or payback from investing in the digitization of broadcasting.
2) It notes that both broadcasters and the public who have to change receivers have invested in digital broadcasting and both could expect to receive benefits from the digital dividend.
3) However, it argues that defining and distributing the digital dividend fairly is complex given the different objectives of commercial players versus public service broadcasters and the need to use spectrum as a public resource efficiently.

Qo E E2 E5 User Centric Approach Katrien De Moorimec.archive
The document summarizes presentations from a closing event on Quality of Experience (QoE) held at IMEC, Leuven on January 29, 2009. It discusses three main topics: 1) Evaluating QoE by bridging the gap between technical parameters and human experience factors. 2) Situating network neutrality in context and developing an analytical framework for distributing internet content. 3) The European response to network neutrality in the context of electronic communications reform. It also outlines challenges in conceptualizing and measuring QoE, and the need for interdisciplinary and anticipatory approaches.
The document provides tips for giving successful presentations. It recommends keeping presentations simple with minimal text and clear visuals. Presenters should maintain eye contact, stand up straight, and use gentle hand gestures to demonstrate active body language. Speakers should avoid filler words and listen to their own speaking, including some humor while being honest. Additional tips include practicing the opening, dressing professionally, breathing, and concluding by relaxing and smiling.

The document outlines 5 key messages for a digital inclusion policy in Flanders. It notes that the digital divide affects both underprivileged and promising people. While digital natives lack digital skills, current methods of self-reporting are insufficient and a sound system is needed to properly measure digital skills. Additionally, a focus on project-based funding can harm the availability and motivation of skilled trainers. A database of initiatives is maintained to classify users, approaches, and objectives.

The document summarizes three significant municipal and regional fiber network initiatives in Spain: Asturias regional network, Viladecans municipality network, and Xarxa Oberta regional Catalan network. The Asturias initiative used public funds to build a FTTH network covering 57,832 homes across 46 municipalities at a cost of 47.5 million euros. Viladecans developed its FTTH network under the private investor principle with 688,000 euros of funding covering 2,535 homes. Xarxa Oberta is a 105-municipality Catalan regional FTTH network costing 85 million euros to connect 1,040 government sites through a public-private partnership model.
Living labs involve users in the innovation process to help create valuable user-driven innovation on the internet. They provide a real-life experimental environment with a critical mass of local, trusted users in public-private partnerships. While users were once seen as just a problem, they are now viewed as the solution who can help domesticate new technologies through involvement in the innovation process over the past 15 years in various in-house, city, and consortium-based living labs.
The Deus platform aims to handle data from wireless sensor networks in a distributed manner. It uses ontologies and semantic web technologies to classify sensor data and deal with issues like missing or faulty readings. A key challenge is the quality of unpredictable sensor data. The Deus architecture includes distributed reasoning, a service registry, and a policy framework to label data quality and determine appropriate actions. It was implemented and tested on a realistic sensor network, showing it can draw more accurate conclusions than without the quality control measures.
