"The video is a powerful way for us to communicate the advantages in power consumption and efficiency that our innovative semiconductor materials can enable, and it conveys some of the special technological hurdles we had to solve to manufacture these products." "We want people to understand how our silicon-28 and SOI wafers can improve the function of computers and all types of devices that use advanced semiconductors," said James Alexander, president of Isonics. SOI wafers provide advanced heat-management features that enable semiconductors to function more efficiently at higher speeds.Īlso described in the video are some of the manufacturing challenges Isonics faced in the creation of this new generation of wafers. ![]() Silicon-28 offers significantly higher thermal conductivity than natural silicon, improving performance of high-power devices. Silicon-28 is an isotopically pure, synthetic form of silicon that replaces natural silicon in the production of wafers for computer chips and was developed by Isonics founder and president James Alexander. Semiconductors based on the newly engineered wafers, and the information processing devices they power, can be made faster, cheaper and longer-lasting than ever before, enabling a range of advantages, such as extended battery life in computer laptops and longer operational lives for critical information processing equipment. The video introduces some of the advantages provided by Isonics' innovative combination of its patented product silicon-28, with its silicon-on-insulator (SOI) products. ![]()

![]() ![]() Zoom on code editors applied to "Edit animations too.įixed "Run in engine" when. The more noticeable changes, besides many bug fixes and improvements, are the Variable usage log/list coming back on M.U.G.E.N module, and the new way it writes to files, being the last one an awesome new feature, improving security, preventing data loss by a program failure (crash) while saving, power loss or whatever reason a file write operation gets interrupted, by using temporary storage instead of direct write. As suggested before, now it uses the proper directory on current user private folder, so even if you need to reinstall it, all settings are preserved. New features like extensions and engine modules will be deployed this way too.Īnother great change is the way Fighter Factory Studio stores user settings. So I decided to use Qt Installer Framework, which allow us to make an installer, perform updates and let the user customize installation, like choosing which components to install instead of them all like before. This release was delayed many times because we decided to deploy Fighter Factory Studio as an installer like previous versions, and at same time switching to a stable package management system to perform updates too. This version introduces more features, a lot of major bug fixes and improvements. But forcing software rasterizer is highly recommended still, in this case.Īfter several months of delay, I'm releasing version 3.5.4 to the public. I'm in the process of enabling OpenGL ES2 support, which uses DirectX on Windows. Auto update is a good thing to have.ĮDIT2: About performance, again, will be interesting if people suffering from lags, artifacts. * About an installer, it is designed to be portable. * No problem here with fill color, tooltip background or anything like this, on Windows, Linux and macOS, tested on all presets. ![]() Qt 5 is required for macOS and Linux versions too, because Qt4 distributions are a bit rare to find out nowadays to resolve dependencies. On my PC, again, it loads a char many times faster than FF3, and it does more things while loading than previous versions. It uses all available CPU cores to speed-up loading, decoding, conversions. On my PC Studio is very fast, no lags, I can scroll from first sprite to the last as fast as I can. Renaming opengl32sw.dll to opengl32.dll forces software rasterizes that can be better on low-end PCs without proper hardware acceleration. This version is totally based on OpenGL, is a lot faster on newer PCs but may be slower on older ones. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() How to Update the Firmware for the WD SmartWare Driveīackup the data on the drive (if necessary) before proceeding. The firmware update for the WD Drive can be found at: The firmware for the specific WD drive product being updated is available directly from Western Digital. Updating the firmware does not remove the virtual drive or partition, it simply prevents it from appearing. Simply compile the script so that it can be loaded again without having to rewrite it each time. Running this script and keeping it active helps to prevent the WD SmartWare software from loading the VCD on the desktop. Type or copy the following commands into the app: The AppleScript: ScriptEditor.app is located in the Applications folder and displays an editable text field when opened. Within the AppleScript Editor, it is easy to create a script that automatically takes the VCD down. Note: This will not remove the SmartWare, but tells the drive to eject and prevents it from being seen from the desktop. The process is different for Apple computers and must be built into an AppleScript, which automatically ejects the WD SmartWare upon startup. If the drive is connected to another PC or compatible computer, the WD SmartWare virtual disk will still show up unless the process is repeated on that computer.ĭisabling the Virtual Drive in Apple Computers Right click “WD Virtual CD XXXX USB Device” (where XXXX is a number assigned to the drive) and select the option to disable the drive. Once in the Device Manager, look at the list of devices.Ĭlick the “+” sign to open up the list of CD/DVD drives that are installed on the system. Clicking “Device Manager” will open it directly.Īnother way to do this directly is to open a run prompt by holding down the “Windows” key on the keyboard and pressing “R.” Type “devmgmt.msc” in the run prompt and select “OK” to run the direct process for the Device Manager. Windows Vista or Windows 7 users should type in “Device Manager” in the search bar on the start menu and wait for the option to load. In order to access the Device Manager, head to the Start Menu through the Task Bar and click “Control Panel.” Select “Hardware,” then select the Device Manager from the available list. Navigate to the machine’s Device Manager. This process is meant for Microsoft Windows OS users. The virtual disk will no longer load when the drive is connected. This process will not regain lost storage on the disk and simply makes the partition and the virtual drive that loads from it disappear. Note: This method does not delete the SmartWare from the WD drive, but simply prevents it from loading. Removing the WD SmartWare prevents these resources from being consumed while the drive is connected to the system. Memory and CPU use can easily be overwhelmed when the SmartWare is on the WD drive. Resource Usage – When the SmartWare is loaded, it takes up a sizable portion of the computer’s resources. The drive may be an eyesore for those who keep the hard drive loaded on their system and it normally cannot be removed easily. Linux based systems can also see the partition, but cannot make changes to the partition due to the drive’s onboard hardware. Virtual Drive Appearance – The virtual drive loads onto both Windows and Apple computers’ desktops. Therefore, less than a gigabyte to more than a few gigabytes are missing on the main partition due to the hidden partition and software that are included. The software is located on a hidden drive partition, which removes a reasonable amount of storage capacity. Storage Capacity – A hard drive that has SmartWare on it no longer has full storage capacity. The most common reasons for removing SmartWare are: The WD SmartWare may also be useless to some users who may want to remove it. WD hard drives with SmartWare also have some utilities that some users will find useful if their computer can support them. The SmartWare can provide backup solutions that may not be available with the operating system in use. Modern Western Digital drives come with a firmware called “SmartWare,” which can be useful to some users. Western Digital (WD) Portable Hard Drives are capable of storing quite a bit of information. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Play Doodle Army 2 Mini Militia on PC with BlueStacks and take the fight to a higher level.

![]() ![]() The last decade has seen a paradigm shift from expert-designed algorithms to data-driven approaches. The applications of audio and music processing range from music discovery and recommendation systems over speech enhancement, audio event detection, and music transcription, to creative application s such as sound synthesis and morphing. The algorithm is ported and run in a Linux based set top box connected by a microphone array to capture the audio for live scream detection. Experiments of screaming detection is discussed with promising results shown. Finally, to validate the scream like sound, a SVM based classifier is applied with the feature vector generated from the MFCCs across a window of frames. Further, a robust high pitch detection based on the autocorrelation is presented to extract the highest pitch for each frame, followed by a pitch analysis for a time window containing multiple frames. We adopt the log energy to detect the energy continuity of the audio to represent the screaming which is often lasting longer than many other sounds. In audio features, sound energy is a useful feature to detect scream like audio. We present here an approach to scream detection, using both analytic and statistical features for the classification. For home care, elder care, and security application, screaming is one of the events people (family member, care giver, and security guard) are especially interested in. It provides complementary information for video signal. A proper resonance strategy in reinforced falsetto and a decreased glottal adduction in growl voice might probably be the factors that contribute to prevent voice problems in singers who use these vocal resources, classically labeled as vocal abuse.Īudio signal is an important clue for the situation awareness. Reinforced falsetto is characterized by an increased vocal fold adduction and an increased Psub. It seems that growl voice is produced by decreasing vocal folds adduction and increasing Psub, which in turn, promotes an increased airflow rate. No differences for F0 were found for neither growl voice nor reinforced falsetto. Higher Psub, sound pressure level, and glottal resistance for high-pitched reinforced falsetto compared to naïve falsetto (keeping the same F0) were found. Higher glottal airflow rate, sound pressure level, and subglottic pressure (Psub) for growl voice samples compared to vowel production without growl voice (keeping the same fundamental frequency ) were found. Then, subjects were aerodynamically assessed while performing growl voice or reinforced falsetto. All participants were asked to undergo rigid laryngeal videostroboscopy to confirm the absence of laryngeal pathology. Sixteen participants performed growl voice and seven performed reinforced falsetto as a voice resource during metal singing. The present study aimed to assess the aerodynamic characteristics of vocally healthy metal singers when producing growl voice or reinforced falsetto.įifty-four participants (metal singers) were initially enrolled in this study, with 23 meeting the inclusion criteria. ![]() ![]() ![]() That knot was Greek, but you get the point.įraser: Anachronistic ziplines and magical timeloops aside, The Forgotten City still revels in history and makes you feel like a time-travelling archaeologist-an enviable job. ![]() The wonderful Galerius greets you each day, and when you barrel up to him shouting instructions to save the lives of people you figured out how to save in the previous loop, he just gets on with it. The Forgotten City gets around that with two inventions: an arguably anachronistic zipline, and a sensible human being. Timeloop games seem like a great idea, but it turns out redoing the same thing even more than videogames usually demand is actually super frustrating. You're in a timeloop, reliving a single day in ancient Rome. There's only one gladiator, but you get the point. The battles themselves are entertainingly over-the-top, but it's the experimentation and strategising that keeps me coming back. You construct a roster, ideally based around the major synergies of that season, and watch them battle your opponents' teams. Nevertheless, as someone who's also terminally bad at MOBAs, Teamfight has been a welcome excuse to explore the peripheries of Riot's most popular game. Phil: Fraser, you're going to get emails for calling LoL "rubbish". I love the constant reinvention of characters and mechanics, and building my loadout of heroes mid-battle, but the real appeal is how easy it is to just hang out and shoot the shit with friends while my diligent little warriors duke it out or die. Teamfight Tacticsįraser: TFT is one of the last autobattlers left standing-the product of a short-lived trend that no doubt benefited from sharing a launcher with the rubbish but immensely popular League of Legends. It's inherently cool, as you painstakingly plan out multiple takedowns, to hit a single button and watch the synchronised action play out. Shadows Tactics' coup de grace is Shadow Mode, which lets you queue up moves for your whole team to perform at the same time. This leads to myriad options within a single level, creating a playground of possibilities. Others are stuck to the ground, but bring traps and tricks to help clear a path. ![]() Some are nimble, able to navigate rooftops and tricky terrain. Your motley crew brings a variety of different ways to distract, dispatch and disappear your foes, and it's these asynchronous abilities that make the difficulty so satisfying to overcome. The real pleasure here is being dropped into large maps full of guards, and slowly picking apart the puzzle of their intricate patrol routes as you work your way through. ![]() Phil: One of the most rewarding stealth games of recent years, embracing the hardcore, unforgiving attitude of the genre but still modernising it where it counts. Every mission is a lovely puzzle and there's an immense joy in meticulously setting up and pulling off the simultaneous kill I envisioned using all of my party members. Lauren Morton, Associate Editor: Shadow Tactics is the immaculate tactical stealth success that proved Mimimi Games had the chops to take up the Desperados series. I can't think of a suppurating psychic wound I'd rather spend my time in. It's the perfect cyberpunk setting: grimy, dank, and claustrophobic, soundtracked by the thrum of distant machines, and always, always raining. Josh Wolens, News Writer: Dragonfall is my favourite Shadowrun game, but Hong Kong's take on Kowloon Walled City is a triumph. It's a great magical cyberpunk yarn, but just as great as a story about cities, and how they-and the people living in them-can become victims of the machinations of the wealthy and powerful. Hong Kong, and especially the Walled City, are messy, chaotic and feel even more alive thanks to the magic that alters them in ways both subtle and significant. Robin Valentine, Print Editor: The excellent Shadowrun: Dragonfall has been in our list for a few years now, but I definitely prefer Hong Kong for its brilliantly evocative setting.įraser Brown, Online Editor: I've got a big soft spot for urban fantasy, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong does it a lot better than most. They're one of the best RPG parties around. Your whole crew is made of misfits, including a rat-spirit shaman who treats garbage like gourmet.

PostgreSQL has bindings for many programming languages such as C, C++, Python, Java, PHP, Ruby… It can be used to power anything from simple web applications to massive databases with millions of records. Mac OS X, starting with Lion, has PostgreSQL server as its standard default database in the server edition, and PostgreSQL client tools in the desktop edition. The vast majority of Linux distributions have PostgreSQL available in supplied packages. It implements the majority of the SQL:2008 standard, is ACID-compliant, is fully transactional (including all DDL statements), has extensible data types, operators, index methods, functions, aggregates, procedural languages, and has a large number of extensions written by third parties. PostgreSQL is developed by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, consisting of a handful of volunteers employed and supervised by companies such as Red Hat and EnterpriseDB. It is released under the PostgreSQL License, which is an MIT-style license, and is thus free and open source software.

If you can do everything you want just fine on your current Mac and you don't feel that a new Mac is going to help in any way then that pretty much points to you sticking with your current Mac for awhile. So before you decide to buy ask yourself these three questions:įirst is your current Mac meeting your needs. So using your current Mac really isn't a problem. But on the other hand if you're just using it for web browsing and email and word processing then you may not be pushing it much at all. Whether you're a home user or whether you use it for work if say you're using it to edit video and maybe when you bought it you were editing 720 video and now you're editing 4K video and using lots more effects then it may be time for a new Mac. Like for instance you're a writer and writing with a word processor is not going to make that much of a difference if your Mac is five years old or brand new.Īnother thing to consider is how much you push your Mac. But if it doesn't really matter if you've got an older Mac or a newer Mac then it is not that big of a factor. For instance, if getting a newer, better, faster Mac is actually going to allow you to earn more money then it could easily be worth it to buy a new Mac. ![]() If you do use your Mac for work you may want to consider the return you get on your investment. Sometimes using it for work and sometimes using it for home. On the other hand some people use it for work so they are actually making their living from using their Mac. They use it just for browsing the web, communicating with people, maybe playing some games and things like that. They actually don't use it for work at all. Another thing to consider is what you use your Mac for. For some people buying a new Mac really isn't that big of an expense. Macs cost the same no matter which situation you're in. I think there are four major factors that determine where you are there. Mac users fall into a wide range from people that always want to have the latest and greatest Mac even if they are buying a new one every year to people that want to buy one and use it as long as they possibly can before getting a new Mac. So let's start off by taking a look at how often you should be buying a new Mac. But I think the second question is actually more important for most people. Now a lot of thought and discussion goes into that first question. The other is what are your needs? Is it time for you to get a new Mac. One is, of course, is Apple about to come out with a new version of the Mac that you're looking at. So when deciding if it's the right time to buy a new Mac there are two major factors to take into consideration. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts.
