Using Android for Image Processing Projects PDF Tutorial
In this tutorial, we will learn how to set up the Android software development environment and how to implement image processing operations on an Android-based mobile device (e.g., the DROID phone that you have received for the class assignments). Android is an open-source platform developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance on which interesting and powerful new applications can be quickly developed and distributed to many mobile device users.
There is a growing community of Android developers and a growing market for Android-based devices (e.g., Motorola DROID, HTC DROID ERIS, Google Nexus One). Android also comes with a vast library of useful functions, including functions for user interfaces, image/bitmap manipulation, and camera control that we will frequently use in EE368. We look forward to seeing your novel image processing algorithms and applications running on Android-based devices as the quarter progresses. The tutorial is split into two parts. In the first part, we will explain how to download and install the Android software tools onto your computer. Then, in the second part, we will explain how to develop image processing programs that can run on an Android-based mobile device.

Corsair Intel Sandy Bridge Platform PDF Technical Overview
A new year is upon us, and Intel has just launched its 2 nd generation Core series i5 and i7 CPUs just in time for anyone looking to start off the new year by building a brand new PC. Intel’s latest generation CPU is code named “Sandy Bridge” and uses an all new 32nm micro architecture, compared to last year’s lineup of 45nm “Nehalem” branded CPUs. Luckily we at Corsair are fully prepared for the new Sandy Bridge CPUs with the launch of our new Vengeance series memory which was released just a few weeks ago, but before we get into that, let’s talk a little about the new chip from Intel.

Gigabyte Sandy Bridge Gaming Laptop PDF Technical Specification Manual
CES 2011 may be officially over, but the devices showcased there are still showing up in the news, and will keep doing so, like a certain mobile computer that Gigabyte offered, along with a press release. Recently, quite a few new hardware products were launched, like Intel’s new collection of CPUs and NVIDIA’s 500M GPUs.
Despite whatever legal issues may still exist between the chip giant and the GPU maker, the fact remains that their products still make excellent combinations. While the new Sandy Bridge Core CPUs have their own built-in graphics, they are far from capable of handling most games with average to high video requirements. As such, mobile graphics, in this case from NVIDIA, are required, and Gigabyte’s P2532N is one laptop that abides by this model.
