The IP (Intellectual Property) for Ethernet Interface is a hardware module designed to execute the MAC (media access control) service on the Ethernet standard. The goal of this IP module is to provide an easy way to develop new devices with connection to an Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network). The standard protocols used make this IP module reusable for different designs with an interface to Ethernet LANs. The Ethernet Interface IP is described and simulated in VHDL.Resumo em Inglês:
Numerical images are becoming more and more important and an increasing emphasis on multimedia applications has resulted in large volumes of images. However, images need a large memory space to be stored, so their efficient storage and retrieval generate challenges to the database community. This paper proposes a new algorithm for an efficient storage of sets of images. It is based on a version approach used in databases. It shows how to store and operate on similar images; two images are defined as similar if the quad-trees encoding them have only few different nodes. A data structure called Generic Quad-Tree (GQT) is proposed. It optimizes the memory space required to store similar images and allows an efficient navigation among them. An Image Tree stores the ancestors and descendants of an image, like a version hierarchy. Using the Image Tree, the Generic Quad-Tree allows an image to share common parts with its ancestors and descendants. The GQT approach and some algorithms for reading, modifying or removing images from the Generic Quad-Tree are described. Examples using black and white images and gray scale images are presented.Resumo em Inglês:
This paper considers a GIS methodological framework based on fuzzy sets theory for land use management. Some principles of development of the GIS methodological framework are formulated. Applications of the GIS methodological framework are designed. In particular GIS knowledge management fuzzy models for analysis of soil commutative contamination by heavy metals, for the study of soil acidity, and for evaluation of soil conservation actions are obtained.
