Transfer Problems

Verbmobil represents a new generation of speech-to-speech translation systems in which spontaneously spoken language, speaker independence and adaptability as well as the combination of deep and shallow approaches to the analysis and transfer problems are the main features. The project brought together researchers from the fields of signal processing, computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. Verbmobil goes beyond the state-of-the-art in each of these areas, but its main achievement is the seamless integration of them. The first project phase (1993–1996) has been followed up by the second project phase (1997–2000), which aims at applying the results to further languages and at integrating innovative telecooperation techniques. Quite apart from the speech and language processing issues, the size and complexity of the project represent an extreme challenge on the areas of project management and software engineering:[bull ] 50 researchers from 29 organizations at different sites in different countries are involved in the software development process,[bull ] to reuse existing software, hardware, knowledge and experience, only a few technical restrictions could be given to the partners.In this article we describe the Verbmobil prototype system from a software-engineering perspective. We discuss:[bull ] the modularized functional architecture,[bull ] the flexible and extensible software architecture which reflects that functional architecture,[bull ] the evolutionary process of system integration,[bull ] the communication-based organizational structure of the project,[bull ] the evaluation of the system operational by the end of the first project phase.

Abstract We demonstrate a stand-alone optical data link module (ODLM) that fits in the limited space budget of smart imaging catheters. The module is based on an extension of the Flex-to-Rigid (F2R) technology platform for miniaturized system integration. The ODLM is a silicon-based interposer that comprises a commercially available Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL), which has its electrical contacts and laser emitting spot on the same surface. With the flexible interconnects, the ODLM reroutes the flip-chipped VCSEL electrical contacts to the side that is perpendicular to the surface of the VCSEL. This enables the ODLM to be mounted on a flex-PCB and fit into the limited space in the distal tip of the smart catheter. An optical fiber that runs in parallel to the catheter shaft is inserted into the through-silicon hole (TSH) of the ODLM and self-aligned to the VCSEL for optical data transmission. The design of the ODLM and the F2R technology platform are introduced, and an ODLM demonstrator is fabricated and presented.

Access To Data

This chapter introduces the research issues on spatial decision-making in the context of distributed geo-spatial data warehouse. Spatial decision-making in a distributed environment involves access to data and models from heterogeneous sources and composing disparate services into a meaningful integration. The chapter reviews system integration and interoperability issues of spatial data and models in a distributed computing environment. We present a prototype system to illustrate the collaborative access to data and as a model for supporting spatial decision-making.

Information System Integration

The first task in health information system integration is to solve the problems of an “isolated information islands” and achieve the information and resource sharing. Some health information system integration technologies based on SOA and web services is researched. A prototype system of health information system integration based on SOA and web service is put forward. An integrated client, which employs the data redirection techniques in operating systems and is called the universal health information integration component, is developed. A real case study is used to show the design and implementation details as well as the valid integration among the heterogeneous system we have obtained.

Generally, rapid prototype system, it bases on the operation principle to process layer by layer, and has several kinds of hardware already. The input of STL file format has become the de facto standard in rapid prototyping. With the application of complex material, the variety of product-type using RP technology will be dramatically extended and, no more, be limited in model production. However under the structure of 3D printing, large item production will be possible only if specific support were applied. This study proposes the hardware and software integrated method with the subject of the three-dimensional printing. The hardware utilizes ink-jet of general two-dimensional printer and combines with the traversing mechanism and the process controls and model material, and piles up in accordance with default layer thickness. As the supporting structure in STL-file format is generated through the concepts of the 3D-printing support generating method which is carried out by performing projection and displacement of selected triangular surfaces and then the generated 3D model is further constructed by Open GL and saved in STL-file format. As STL file is read, and then builds adjacency to store into the topology data structure. After the operation of direct slicing rule, hundreds of contours in each layer are obtained by using Visual C ++ programming language and OpenGL library to implement the algorithm above. It can confirm exactness that the software output and systematic feasibility of integrating the hardware through the result of system integration test on the 3D printer.
