Nowadays is quite common to find personal computers with two monitors, all they need is a video card with outputs to (at least) two monitors, which should be as identical as possible, and show each image in the stereo pair, through each monitor. This paper shows first how to build a simple set of mirrors so that each eye will look at a different monitor, and second, how to write an OpenGL code that computes correct stereo pairs of a moving scene and displays them, each on its own monitor, enabling us to see it in real 3D.

This paper presents the kinematic and dynamic model of a linear electric actuator. The kinematic model was obtained by geometric analysis. The dynamic model was obtained with Lagrange's methodology. This linear actuator forms part of parallel prosthetic elbow with 3 DOF developed in the Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica (INAOE). This linear actuator will be used in the elbow prosthesis in order to emulate the capacity of a muscle to extend and contract in a linear way. In this paper we show the behavior the electromechanical according to the equations of the system and its physical parameters. The model includes the analysis of electrical and mechanical parts. The model includes conversion of rotational movement to linear movement and relation torque-force necessary for emulating a human muscle.

This paper shows the procedure to gather propagation measurements to characterize the path loss of cantera stone for the penetration of RF signals at UHF frequencies in various Mexican historic buildings. It is the first time that such material is tested for RF propagation and since there are many buildings made of this material in many cities in Mexico the results obtained are the base for future research as it is conducted now and will be published in the weeks to follow. The places where the experiment was conducted are: Municipal Government Building in Oaxaca, Benito Juarez Masonic Lodge Building in Oaxaca both buildings made of green cantera stone; Casa del Dean Museum and Tecamachalco Ex Convent in Puebla made of gray cantera stone. The frequencies at which the experiment was conducted were around 900 MHz, in the UHF band.

In this work we present the analysis and implementation in a digital signal processor (DSP), of a variant of the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. Modification is based on codifying the error of the algorithm, in order to reduce the design complexity for its implementation in digital adaptive filters, because the error is made up of whole values. The results demonstrate an increase in the convergence speed; it's affected indirectly by the convergence factor, and to obtain a floating point operation reduction, which accelerates processing. These, to demonstrate the results obtained from the implementation of the algorithm in the digital signal processor TMS320C6713 by Texas instruments.

In this paper a control algorithm is proposed, which provides positive signals to the propeller inputs of a 3 degrees of freedom arm-helicopter system, in consequence the propellers spin only in one direction. The originality of this paper in reference to similar papers, is the fact that preview control algorithms are designed to allow propeller spin in both directions, that bring to the helicopter system a movement acting in the same direction of gravitation force, in practical sense this never happens, because the helicopter system presents an unstable behavior. The proposed algorithm regulates the system angular position using information of angular displacements measurements to generate only positive control signals, and also compensates the unknown friction effects present in the joints of the system. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using numerical tests, which shows the system stability considering the regulation problem of two degrees of freedom, in the same sense a stability argumentation is presented to validate the control algorithm proposed.

In frequencies over 10 GHz the rain is the most important factor to take in count to evaluate the attenuation level. For several kinds of applications is very useful to known this attenuation in the link every moment while the link is in operation to implement some strategy to mitigate it. According to the ITU-R, there is a procedure to calculate the rain attenuation, however this methodology gives only an average and constant attenuation value. In this work, an automatic procedure to obtain the instant attenuation level for several frequencies using the data provided by MNS (Meteorological National System) in Mexico is explained and their publication in a Web server is showed. Using these values, attenuation maps are elaborated and published in that Web server too.

This work presents a hardware architecture of the ConText steganographic technique in a Cyclone II FPGA of the Altera family. The ConText technique takes advantage of noisy regions and those with abrupt gray levels changes in an image where the hidden information is very difficult to detect; the process to locate this region is highly repetitive and computationally expensive. The technique is implemented in an FPGA to increase the processing speed. The implementation results show a throughput of 61.5 Mbps.

The problem of analog system design for a minimal computer time has been formulated as the functional minimization problem of the control theory. The design process in this case is formulated as the controllable dynamic system. The optimal sequence of the control vector switch points was determined as a principal characteristic of the minimal-time system design algorithm. The different forms of the Lyapunov function were proposed to analyze the behavior of design process. The special function that is a combination of Lyapunov function and its time derivative was proposed to predict the optimal control vector structure.
