What exactly do IMAQ EdgeDetection and IMAQ Quantify do?

hi all,
a supplier sent me a piece of equipment to test with code written in Labview.
now i'm trying to figure out exactly what it is that they're
doing. they first extract an image into the IMAQ EdgeDetection VI
and pipe the output of that into IMAQ Quantify. now i'm trying to
figure out exactly what the 'mean value'
that IMAQ Quantify spits out is a mean value of. hopefully someone can help me understand this.
thanks!
dan

Hello Dan,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. The mean value that gets returned from the IMAQ Quantify is an average pixel intensity for the region that is defined by the Image Mask input of this VI. If no image mask is defined, then the mean value will represent the average pixel intensity for the entire image.

What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do?

What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do? I think it works in the Security Mechanism of Java as a Byte Code Verifier (or atleast as a part of the Byte Code Verifier)..
Your thoughts please..?

What exactly is Sand Box and what does it do?It's a concept. It means that the executed code (of applets, Webstart apps) has restricted access rights to System resources. So if it tries anything evil, it won't be able to.

What exactly is InheritableThreadLocal Storage, and how exactly do I use it

What exactly is InheritableThreadLocal Storage, and how exactly do I use it?

What exactly is InheritableThreadLocal Storage, andI have only seen one previous use of ThreadLocal objects and it was somewhere on http://www.javaworld.com on a solution to the Java double-checked locking problem.
Roughly speaking, previously to Java1.2 you had two variable-type choices in Java. The first is a static variable that is the same across ALL instances of a class. The second was an instance variable, that is can be different in EVERY instance of a class. Java 1.2 introduced the ThreadLocal variable-type. If a variable type is ThreadLocal, then every running Thread may see a different value for the variable - essentially it is a Map of Threads to values.
InheritableThreadLocal is finely different from ThreadLocal. They are almost identical excepting that if one Thread is spawned from another (ie. it is a "child" thread) then the value of the InheritableThreadLocal variable will be the same in the child Thread as the parent Thread.
As to when it could be used, I'm not so sure (other than the no-brainer "when you want a variable to have different values in different Threads"). I'd be interested to hear about any instances where someone has used a variable such as this.
how exactly do I use it?Carefully

HT201210 My iPhone became wet at the beach. I put it in rice for 4 days. When I connect to itunes, it says the phone must be restored. It starts and then gives either the error 2001, or 2006. What exactly does this mean, and is it worth getting repair

Can not use IMAQ ImageToArray and IMAQ Rotate on CVS

when using my image processing DLL, I have to use IMAQ ImageToArray and
ArrayToImage which call the NIVissvc.dll and NIVision.dll . these are very
common IMAQ fuctions, in Labview, all my vi works well, when this exe
running on the CVS, it says can not find (or load) the ImageToArray, we can
use many IMAQ functions like imageExtract, IMaqCreate, on CVS before, but
failed on this one and the IMAQ rotate as well, we checked the dll on CVS
RT/System dir, the NIVision.dll is 2MB, and the one on my PC win/system32 is
2.2MB, then we copy the 2.2MB DLL to CVS , then the CVS says canot find the
NIVision.dll, is the DLL on pc not for real time ? what the diff btw DLL on
CVS and on LV in PC ?
don't how to use some sim
ple IMAQ functions on CVS like IMAQ Rotate and
ImageToArray etc, or the DLL version on my CVS is not a full version ?

Richard,
I am not sure why you might be running into this problem. The Image to Array, Array to Image, and Rotate VIs should all work just fine on the Compact Vision System (CVS). In fact, as I am writing this post, there is a CVS on my desk that is using all of those functions.
If you are having trouble getting this to work, I would suggest that you verify that you have both NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 RT and IMAQ Vision RT installed on the CVS. You would need to have both of these installed to have this work properly.
As for the DLLs that you mentioned, I would not suggest copying the DLL from your PC to your CVS, as they have different operating systems, and any system specific functionality would not work. Finally, since you have already made modificati
ons to your CVS's software, you may want to delete all the software off the CVS and try a new installation of the software just to be sure that it is installed correctly.

What exactly is a Livecache and how different is it from Oracle RAC?

What exactly is Livecache and how different is it from Oracle RAC since livecache is used for high availability? and should Livecahe be used only with MAXDB?

As per my knowledge this both are completly different concepts and have different use.
SAP Livecache is used in SAP SCM/APO to increase speed of processing by using main memeory
Whereas Oracle RAC is used for HA and scalability.

What exactly is LAME encoding and how would I use

Just as the topic says Is there a program that'll simplify the process? Is this only used for ripping tracks from a CD?
Also, do I have any alternati'ves to Napster with which you can only download WMAs at 28? Are there any music sites out there that have better quality music?
Thanks!

There are a few options available - but as Khakiass said, LAME is considered by many to be the best MP3 encoder out there. I have tried several different ways over the last month and here are my two favorites.
For ease of use, the CD-DA X-tractor is great. Very simple to use and pretty fast too. I did have some issues when encoding at the highest (0) VBR quality with LAME - some files would not play back. Setting to a lower quality (like 2) fixed that problem. You can find more details here http://www.mp3-converter.com/cdda_xtractor.htm. That same MP3-convertor site has a lot of other good info about different packages and encoders - worth looking around to learn a lot of stuff...
For the highest quality (with a little steeper learning curve) the EAC (Exact Audio Copy) software with the LAME encoder add-on is probably the best to be had. This is what I am currently using and it is a very powerful combo. Don't let the learning curve keep you from trying it (I did at first and after I finally tried it, I fell in love with it) - and it isn't that hard to setup. The biggest problem is that the software doesn't have an installer with it, you just unzip the files to a working folder and change the options to suit you. AND there are lots and lots of options!! Which is great because you can set it up the way that works best for you. Here is a great tutorial for this setup with download links too: http://users.pandora.be/satcp/cd2mp3-en.htm.
Don't be afraid to look around and try different options to find what works best for you!

What exactly is using data and how can i keep it from using data when im not using my phone?

So i have an iphone 4 and i have used a lot of data this month(like almost 2GB) and i have barely touched my phone outside of wifi areas. I always shut down any apps that use data like youtube, funnypics, facebook, etc. but i do play some games during my breaks at work but they dont require data to play so to my knowledge those games arent using data(or are they?) i just need some help figuring out exactly what on my phone is using data all the time so i can turn it off. Is it icloud? Emails on auto update? Offline game apps(minecraft, sonic dash, the Mr. Series games?) Do all apps use data regardless? Somebody please answer me. And No im not buying a bigger data plan. 2GB is my limit but it seems as though i am hitting that easily with my iphone but the rest of my familyis usually miles away from 2GB and they all have Samsung Galaxy S4s.

My first stop would be in Settings > Cellular if you are on iOS 7. This has a lot of goodstuff. you can turn off cellular data as a who, see your current usage and even see which apps have used data and how much. You can even turn off individual apps form using cellular data (restricting them to wifi only).
I hope this helps!

What exactly is Airport Express and AirTunes?

Sounds like a system to send music wirelessly to any HiFi... Is that right and how does it work/what do I need? Would an audiophile be satisfied with the quality of sound? i.e. is this something that would be out of place on a high end audio system or more suited to the more usual integrated stereo systems?.
I am using an Apple TV as a music source and just wondering whether the Airport is a possible alternative.
Does the airport also transmit video?
Thanks!

Sounds like a system to send music wirelessly to any HiFi... Is that right and how does it work/what do I need?
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is a combination NAT router, wireless access point, print server, and a target device to receive AirTunes audio streams.
AirTunes uses the Remote Audio Access Protocol (RAOP) to stream music to the AX. RAOP is based on the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) but with an extra challenge-response based authentication step.
For audio playback, you would need the following as a minimum:
o An iTunes host with with either wired Ethernet or wirelessly capability.
o Powered-speakers or an audio receiver with either analog RCA or digital/optical inputs.
o Either a 3.5 mm minijack-to-dual RCA or a 3.5 mm TOSLINK cable.
Would an audiophile be satisfied with the quality of sound? i.e. is this something that would be out of place on a high end audio system or more suited to the more usual integrated stereo systems?
For the AX, the audio is handled by a Texas Instruments PCM2705 digital-to-analog converter which it outputs on a 3.5mm stereo minijack. However, the innermost end of the 3.5mm jack is an optical S/PDIF transmitter.
The AX works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirTunes to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. For analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
I am using an Apple TV as a music source and just wondering whether the Airport is a possible alternative.
Unlike the Apple TV, the AX has no means of storing audio content. It is only a "relay" between the iTunes host and the sound playback device. Note: With the latest firmware update, the Apple TV can now use AirTunes to stream to an AX.
Does the airport also transmit video?
No. There are no video CODECs built-in the AX.

What exactly is Air Drop and Air Play?

I keep seeing these cutely coined phrases such as Air Drop and Air Play but I can't find a full explanation as to what they are and how to use them. Can anyone direct me to a source where these are explained in detail?

AirDrop is a OS X feature that allows you to transfer files wirelessly through different Macs with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion and connected to the same network. This will be available in iOS 7 for some iPhones, iPods touch and iPads.
AirPlay is a system that allows you to sync music, videos, or simply your iOS or Mac desktop to an AirPort Express, AirPlay-compatible speakers or an Apple TV. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4437

What exactly is this ESA and how can I be a part of it

Hi,
Can you guide me to resources so that I can have an indepth understanding of this. I am a Portal developer, and how can I see my career path in this.
Regards,
Harish

Hi
Before you know about ESA, you should know the following things things .
Enterprise: this is Integration different branches of business. (eg integration SD,PP,MM etc into one )
Service: It is a new way of software solutions. we had function modules, Object oriented way such is Service.
In this concept we have two main objects:
Service Providers and Consumers.
Web Service : Web services are self contained and self describing application functionalities which can be processed through internet standards.
EG : Google
Product Availability check
Order Status check
Now you can Definitely understand what is ESA :
SOA : Sevice Oriented Architecture
ESA(Enterprice Service Architecture) :
Web Services which provide business Functionality
Have enterprise quality in scalability, robustness,security, manageability,supportability,
If you want to be familiar with ESA. you go for MVC(Model View Controller concept and Webdynpros) and then registering and deploying service is the last step it is very easy
Good Luck.

Startup Disk Full. What exactly does this mean and what can I do about it?

I was downloading some TV shows from the itunes store when my computer informed me that my startup disk was almost full and iTunes informed me that there was an error with the downloading because my disk was full. I assume this means that the hard drive memory is full, but I don't know if there is anything more specific I should know. We've had this computer for several years and recently updated to Snow Leopard and iLife 09. I have a lot of music and pictures, and I would rather not have to delete a lot of them to free up more memory space. Are there other things I can do to clear memory space or add more?

Hi
+"Are there other things I can do to clear memory space or add more?"+
Yes. Either replace the internal drive with a much larger one or purchase an externally attached drive (USB or Firewire or both) and transfer all your pictures and movies onto that instead. Either way will involve an outlay of some sort? Another way would be to start backing up less important photos, music and movies onto CD or better still DVD. You do have a built-in DVD Burner of some description. You could use it as that is primarily one of the reasons it's there for. Once you've backed up desired data start deleting it from the internal drive.
It's important to leave some free space on the drive that contains the Operating System. Not doing so will invariably cause potentially major problems in terms of performance and the proper running of your computer. Think of it this way. If you were to constantly stuff yourself full of food would you be able to function properly or as well as you normally do? Not a great analogy but should give you enough of an idea?
