    Parallel squarer using Booth-folding technique

    No full text
    A new technique is presented for designing a parallel squarer that uses both the Booth-encoding and the 'traditional' folding technique. The proposed Booth-folding technique achieves a 50% reduction in the number of partial products with respect to the simple folding architecture, enabling the propagation delay and power dissipation to be significantly reduced

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Redesigning Healthcare Outside of the Hospital: The Telehealth Booth

    No full text
    Telehealth has seen exponential growth in clinical settings, remote-based care, and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, healthcare inequities and the digital divide are still barriers to accessing telehealth services. Healthcare is still largely inaccessible to patients who cannot get time off work to get to a regional hospital, those in remote areas who cannot afford the extra travel costs and hospital parking, or to parents who cannot find alternative childcare for when they attend their appointment. Telehealth presents an opportunity to provide more equitable access to specialist appointments. The telehealth booth is a new concept and one possible solution to address health inequities by providing the technology, equipment, and private space to attend a telehealth appointment locally without having to travel far to receive healthcare. Existing literature reveals a gap in knowledge on the user experience of telehealth and the telehealth booth, specifically, and how design can contribute to making the telehealth booth accessible and usable to patients. This research hopes to highlight the importance of using design-led methodologies and methods, particularly in a health-related area, to unpack and understand user experiences and communicate information effectively when implementing a new healthcare service in the community. Following a human-centered design approach paired with action research, a range of design and qualitative research methods were used to explore how user experience design could help understand the patient experience of the booth. These insights then informed exploration of how communication design can be used to improve the ease-of-use and overall experience of the telehealth booth service. The design outcomes of this research include a patient information resource kit that provides information about telehealth and the telehealth booth, what to expect when attending a telehealth booth appointment, and instructions on how to use the technology within the booth. This research also calls attention to the potential for improving the physical aspects of the telehealth booth and its implementation in different public spaces in the future

    Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
