This paper describes several half wave printed dipole antennas with offset feed operating at Bluetooth frequency of 2.45 GHz. Two variation of feeding techniques have been employed, namely the side feed and direct feed. Direct feed techniques were incorporated in some structures in order to reduce antennas size. A corresponding rectangular patch antenna operating at the same frequency is also designed for comparison purposes. Numerical simulations have been carried out on the designed structures using micropatch and Sonnetlite softwares. The antennas have been fabricated on GML laminates and tested. Measured one port results showed that all the antennas are well-matched at their corresponding frequency of operation. The co-polarisation radiation patterns exhibit broad beamwidths.","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. Student Conference on Research and Development, 2003.

It has begun in the early 1900. \"Animation is the essence of animation\" as explained by Halas (1991). It is a series of images that appear to be in motion. It can be either traditional animation or computer animation. In addition, Greenberg (1997) explains \"Animation is a deliberately interpreted \"illusion of life\". It has been practiced for the last 70 years in both drawn and stop motion animation, and as such, is not an attempt to mimic human and animal life exactly\" Traditionally animation is produced by drawing illusion of movement created by photographing a series of individual drawings on successive frames on film. Gleicher (1999), explains \"Animation is a uniquely expressive art form: it provides the creator with control over both the appearance and the movement of characters and objects. This gives artists tremendous freedom, which when well used, can create works with tremendous impact.\" According to the historical timeline, many forms of animation have been introduced. This includes cel animation, clay animation, stop frame animation, three dimensional (3D) computer animation and virtual reality. With the rapid growth of this industry various types of techniques, methodologies and computer technologies have been developed, for instance keyframe animation, non-linear animation, motion capture, procedural animation and etc. This research discusses about producing animation by using two methods: motion capture and keyframe animation. Throughout this, the author covers some feedback from the respondents about the priority of using these both methods. It also highlights the pros and cons of these two approaches.","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. Student Conference on Research and Development, 2003.

Different wavelet filters' abilities are investigated to detect micro calcifications in mammogram-digitized images obtained from a Malaysian women sample. The images are obtained from a major hospital with positive micro calcifications in them identified by two separate radiologists. The wavelets' abilities to decompose the images into different sub bands localized both in frequency and time domains is utilized decomposing a set of mammogram images into different frequency sub bands and then reconstructing the images with the high frequency components, which correspond to details in the images (micro calcifications) and removing the low frequency components that correspond to the smooth background of the mammogram. Finally evaluation is done on the separate filters by consultations with the radiologists to confirm the results of detections.","PeriodicalId":239300,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The loss from fusion splicing is compared with the loss obtained from simulation. The result can predict the error caused by fusion splicing. It is an actual error at junction, so fusion splicing loss of fiber optic can be reduced. Sometimes, the technician just notices that fusion splicing has some loss but he does not know the actual cause. Researcher want to find out and prepare the Microsoft access program for checking loss and cause from any errors. It is useful for the technician to train and to decrease any errors from fusion splice. The heat to be radiated from fusion splice and parameters of fusion splice are important to be considered. The comparison involves the development of optic fiber to the gateway of data high speed.

Special drawing functions are designed to draw the different Jawi letters. A Set is used to store the value (shape) of each letter including the letters that fall in the beginning, middle, and end of words as the letters in Jawi change their appearance depending on their position in the word. All the sets and the procedures that correspond to the Jawi letters are stored in one library file.
