This platform space for learning and innovation has a variety of open access resource to share knowledge, tools, and equipment. One of the common problem in makerspace is the large number of cables, plugs, and sockets being used which not only create safety concerns such as electric shock hazards but also a space management issues. The objective of this paper is to explore powering makerspace wiressly, a process that can expand offering much more opportunities to the learners than the network available today. Wireless power transfer (WPT) contains rich research problems of important applications yet to be studied. Delivering wireless power to different devices used in a makerspace will certainly enable new experience with this new educational platform that transforms the way learners work and establish collaboration.","PeriodicalId":172672,"journal":{"name":"2017 Learning and Technology Conference (L&T) - The MakerSpace: from Imagining to Making!","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123582554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It creates, collaborates and innovates to engage students in hands-on projects and develop a large range of skills. In other words makerspace is place to make choice, create and connect. Community based workshops and DIY (Do It Yourself) projects are promoting the practice of peer production and fabrication. Existent science and multimedia applications are done by tinkering, the idea of university maker space is infantile and young but getting well-liked in global world. Universities are working a lot in terms to make their undergraduates and graduating engineers able to harness innovation and creativeness to stay competent and applicable in market or industry with increasingly growing requirements. This paper delves into a case study where multimedia lab is converted into a Makerspace SMMS (Space to Make Multimedia Systems) by assigning real time projects, related to the curriculum needs, and making them able to identify problem, construct model, become skilled at to apply, rework ideas, and share acquaintance with others. Here teacher acts as a “Maker Teacher” who designs the concepts of projects and decides the moves. Teacher is also redesigning their labs into a makerspace sloping multimedia lab. Engineering project ideas and prototype of real world scenarios are also part of the multimedia makerspace. In present study the students are engaged in inquiring models, building codes and architectural blueprints and their processes by hacking and decoding the older versions and understanding the prototypes of the real time projects. Drawing upon observations, videos, interviews and other documentation, author concludes with a qualitative discussion and results of the connotation of the findings for this embryonic and emergent field. Outcomes of applied makerspace in no doubt effective and producing better results to blend digital and physical technologies to work better in practical and theoretical state of affairs.","PeriodicalId":172672,"journal":{"name":"2017 Learning and Technology Conference (L&T) - The MakerSpace: from Imagining to Making!","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125425269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motion capture data is used in many entertainment applications such as in virtual reality environments to drive avatars, in video games to animate characters, in movies to produce CG effects, etc. In this paper, we present an efficient method for modeling and compression of motion capture data. The method uses quadratic Bezier curve fitting to smoothly model and compress the MoCap data. The temporal variation of MoCap data of each joint is approximated and parameterized using Bezier segments. Simulation results shows that our method uses smaller storage and better visual quality compared to other methods. The low degree of quadratic Bezier curve ensures computationally efficiency required for the realtime gaming applications.","PeriodicalId":172672,"journal":{"name":"2017 Learning and Technology Conference (L&T) - The MakerSpace: from Imagining to Making!","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125050747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thabit, Haitham Awadh Aldaini, Inas Abdullah Al-Anesi","doi":"10.1109/LT.2017.8088122","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/LT.2017.8088122","url":null,"abstract":"Search algorithms or methodologies play an important role in any database, data mining, or any professional application. Given their importance, no new search algorithm was developed in the past decade. For a search methodology to be applicable, it has to be novel and faster than existing algorithms. This paper will present a new search methodology that has been awarded a patent for novelty (United States Patent no. 9009200). This search method will be called Thabit's algorithm in this paper. Moreover, the paper will show some test results to show the superiority of this methodology to several search algorithms like binary search, hashing, AVL trees and other search algorithms. For example, when searching a list of 50 million airline PNR numbers, the search time for Microsoft Hash was 18649ms, but when the list became one billion elements the search time increased to 2070318ms with a collision of 57%. Binary search was fairly stable with a search time of 116897ms in a list of 50 million and 2771639ms in the list of one billion elements. On the other hand, searching with Thabit's algorithm took 8517ms for a list of 50 million elements and 194739ms for the list of one billion elements. The AVL tree had 249269ms and 11995298 ms respectively. The comparison was done for space requirements, where binary search took 44703.6 MB for the billion elements. Thabit's algorithm, Microsoft Hash and AVL tree required 60883.3 MB, 115578.4 MB, and 104000.3 MB of space, respectively. To achieve these results, a graduate student was employed and a makerplace lab was created using a server and two laptops. In the makerplace lab the Thabit's algorithm was implemented. The implementation involved processing each item one character at a time or two, three, four, … etc characters at a time and checking which data structures led to better performance. In the Thabit's algorithm, three dimensional arrays ware replaced with one dimensional arrays. Furthermore, much study went into data size; checking the effect of increasing the size of the data and finding when thrashing starts. Finally, trying to run the programs in parallel, and checking speed gain and how this gain compares to Amdahl's law. Also, tests were done on searching through a large number of 16 digit debit card with great results using Thabit's algorithm.","PeriodicalId":172672,"journal":{"name":"2017 Learning and Technology Conference (L&T) - The MakerSpace: from Imagining to Making!","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127277164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

E-books allow a convenient multitasking yet uncommon within local communities due to the lack of marketing the non-academic e-books. Furthermore, in average Saudi Arabia consumes more electricity than the rest of the world. Evidently, such problems require a solution that goes with the fast pace lifestyle, and the technology development. The objective of this paper is to design a Green Smart E-library Station (GSES) that combines public phone chargers and a digital library available at public areas and parks aiming at promoting e-books while charging electronic devices using renewable (solar) energy sources. The station is powered with solar panels based on calculated power load, digital simulation and specifies measurements in a laboratory with respect to different weather scenarios. Accurate energy and power calculations have been performed by creating digital simulation programs on MATLAB. The station delivers green solutions by utilizing renewable energy and digital books. The significance of the project relies on its affordability, independence and clean energy source with significant long-term benefits. Such station would be very beneficial and could be installed in public parks and University campuses.","PeriodicalId":172672,"journal":{"name":"2017 Learning and Technology Conference (L&T) - The MakerSpace: from Imagining to Making!","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125602543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
