Unobtrusive Real-Time Tracing of Parallel Programs
… that can be implemented in hardware to enable unobtrusive real-time tracing. The proposed method exploits several components (e.g., predictors, reductors, etc.) to reduce the size of the trace information through a tree-shape multiple level algorithm. The results show that with this method …

Unobtrusive integration of magnetic generator systems into common footwear
A power generating system was designed to passively harness some of the kinetic energy available during walking. The system included a rotary arm extending down from the sole, which ultimately drove a pair of small electrical generators through a stepped-up gearbox. A one-way clutch mechanism was …

VRCodes : embedding unobtrusive data for new devices in visible light
… on general-purpose computers in a manner that is unobtrusive to humans. We develop VRCodes which display spatio-temporally modulated metamers on active screens thus conveying digital and positional information to a rolling-shutter camera; and physically-modified optical setups which encode data in …

A Machine Learning Based Visible Light Communication Model Leveraging Complementary Color Channel
Recently witnessed a great popularity of unobtrusive Visible Light Communication (VLC) using screen-camera channels. They overcomes the inherent drawbacks of traditional approaches based on coded images like bar codes. One popular unobtrusive method is the utilizing of alpha channel or color …

Towards an Automated Weight Lifting Coach: Introducing LIFT
… most gyms, so this motivates the use of a small, unobtrusive sensor to obtain data about an athlete's weightlifting technique. Researchers have shown that an accelerometer attached to a barbell while the athlete is lifting yields just as accurate acceleration information as a camera. The LIFT …

A foundation for intelligent multimodal drawing and sketching programs
… what the engineer is doing and provide unobtrusive help. Furthermore the engineer needs to be able to interact with the computer in a natural manner. To support this design methodology I implement a foundation on which a programmer can make such applications. I provide two illustrative …

Unobtrusively Measuring Racial Attitudes: The Consequences of Social Desirability Effects
Subsequently, I introduce an unobtrusive measurement technique that minimizes the external motivation of respondents to provide socially desirable responses. I also provide evidence from two less obtrusive priming experiments testing the hypothesis that traditional measures of racial attitudes …
