Kevin Chisaki LA 280 OL1 – Feature Story Final Draft July 30‚ 2013 Off the Grid Clocks never seem to move faster when I stare at them. Everyday this summer has felt like clockwork. I wake up‚ go to work for eight hours‚ go back home‚ do homework‚ go to sleep and the cycle restarts. Today‚ however‚ is different. July 24th‚ 2013 is the day my old high school friends and I decided to hang out together and catch up on things. Every summer we decide on one day to go out and do something together

The Geographic Grid Ptolemy‚ a Roman mathematician‚ created the geographic grid. This grid is a system of invisible lines that span the globe. The grid has been used for over 2‚000 years as a reference for finding the location of a fixed position on Earth. There are certain components that make up the grid. Meridians run vertically and come together at the north and south poles. The center meridian‚ the Prime Meridian‚ divides the earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Parallels run horizontally

The described framework in this study covers 4 main building blocks used in a smart camera surveillance system‚ which can be categorized as object detection‚ object recognition‚ tracking and behavior/activity analysis. This chapter describes the related work and current studies in the literature on each of these building blocks. Meanwhile‚ some brief information related Xbox Kinect in obtaining the depth of information from the video. A typical configuration of smart video processing framework is

Grid Designing Abstract: In an increasing number of scientific disciplines‚ large data collections are emerging as important community resources. Grid computing has emerged as an important new field‚ distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing‚ innovative applications‚ and‚ in some cases‚ high performance orientation. The foundation of a grid solution design is typically built upon an existing infrastructure investment. However‚ a grid

5. Managerial Grid The x/y axis on the grid consist of two behavior dimensions‚ concern for people and concern for production. Concern for people is the degree to which a leader considers the needs of employees when deciding how tasks or jobs should be done. This can be personal or professional development. This behavior dimension moves along the y-axis. Concern for production is the degree to which a leader emphasizes objectives and productivity goals when deciding how tasks or jobs should

of a Grid-Connected Inverter In this section‚ the modeling and control of a grid-connected inverter with dual-loop control using the capacitor current feedback is described. Although‚ this issue has already been addressed in available literatures‚ the goal is introducing a simplified block diagram which make designing controllers easier. A grid-connected inverter with the LCL filter is shown in Fig. 1. The LCL filter consists of an inverter-side inductor L1‚ a filter capacitor C‚ and a grid-side
