Rapid prototyping of rapid prototyping machines
Rapid prototyping tools empower individuals to create almost anything. Unfortunately, these tools are still far too expensive for personal ownership. The do-it-yourself community has responded with a slew of home-made rapid prototyping machines, but development times are slow because of the …

System for rapid subtitling
A system for rapid subtitling of audiovisual sequences was developed, and evaluated. This new system resulted in average time-savings of 50% over the previous work in the field. To subtitle a 27-minute English lecture, users saved 2.2 hours, spending an average of 1.9 hours timing the monologue. …

The Rapid Detection of MRSA
… based systems can detect MRSA within one day ('rapid screening') though these tests are more costly than culture tests. It is hypothesised that rapid detection of MRSA carriers will lead to faster implementation of control procedures, reducing the transmission of MRSA.</p> <p>The first study in …

Rapid assessment using automated marking
Automated marking is heavily dependent on image acquisition and processing routines. Therefore ways of formatting examination and test papers were sought which allow for automated marking. Current marking machines utilise scanners to digitize answer scripts for marking purposes. These are more …

Rapid oscillations in cataclysmic variables
Coherent and quasi-periodic rapid oscillations have been seen in the optical and X-ray light curves of more than 30 cataclysmic variables to date. The observational characteristics of these oscillations are reviewed, and current models discussed. To put the observations in context, a detailed …

Rapid prototyping of green composites
Rapid prototyping employs digital fabrication techniques to quickly manufacture parts. However, the available materials are not yet suitable for making strong, large or durable objects. Composites are materials which are very strong and lightweight, combining the tensile strength of a fibre and the …

ROAD : Rapid Optical Asteroid Detection
Here we present Tilt and the Three-Dimensional Discrete Radon Transform (3DRT), efficient image processing algorithms capable of identifying streaks at the detection limit in video of the night sky. Tilt and the 3DRT are asymptotically optimal algorithms for the blind search problem, which seeks to …

Rapid Prototyping Job Scheduling Optimization
Today's commercial rapid prototyping systems (i.e., solid freeform fabrication, layered manufacturing) rely on human intervention to load and unload build jobs. Hence, jobs are processed subject to both the machine's and the operator's schedules. In particular, first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing of …
