MPEG is the famous four-letter word which stands for the Moving Pictures Experts Groups.
To the real word, MPEG is a generic means of compactly representing digital video and audio signals for consumer distributionThe essence of MPEG is its syntax: the little tokens that make up the bitstream. MPEG's semantics then tell you (if you happen to be a decoder, that is) how to inverse represent the compact tokens back into something resembling the original stream of samples.

These semantics are merely a collection of rules (which ....etc

Charge Trapping Effects in High-k Transistors



Note, this is not a real abstract but a template based from the real one. Transition metal and rare-earth oxides comprise many of the high dielectric constant (high-k) materials currently being investigated for application as gate dielectrics in highly scaled transistors. A common electronic feature of these materials is the presence of d-shell states, which leads to their structural properties being drastically differe ....etc

Nonintrusive manipulation by standing-wave acoustics has been widely used for levitation and trapping of macroscopic objects.1 The standing-wave field creates an acoustic radiation force on the object that depends on its size and acoustic parameters.2 In the present article we demonstrate size-selective separation and retention of latex spheres inside a small-diameter flow-through capillary by use of an ultrasonic radiation trap. The work aims at rapid in-flow detection and separation of specific molecules via antibody-coated latex spheres. Ac ....etc

For real time facial animation on the web, following are the important requirements:
1). Easy installation: like in most of the application, the virtual presenter is not the most important attraction of the proposed services. For this, we would not use any plug-in and the complete applet development (Shout3D rendering + deformation engine) is pure java.

2). Visual quality: in case of the virtual talking heads on the web looks and realism are of utmost importance. In the case of the virtual cartoon-like character, we can be freer to use arti ....etc

As more and more audiovisual information becomes available from many sources around the world, many people would like to use this information for various purposes. This challenging situation led to the need for a solution that quickly and efficiently searches for and/or filters various types of multimedia material that?s interesting to the user.
For example, finding information by rich-spoken queries, hand-drawn images, and humming improves the user-friendliness of computer systems and finally addresses what most people have been expecting fro ....etc

MPEG-4 is an ISO/IEC standard being developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), the committee which also developed the Emmy Award winning standards known as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. These standards made interactive video on CD-ROM and Digital Television possible. MPEG-4 will be the result of another international effort involving hundreds of researchers and engineers from all over the world. MPEG-4, whose formal ISO/IEC designation will be ISO/IEC 14496, is to be released in November 1998 and will be an International Standard in January 1999.
