In order to achieve more timely assessment of water quality, PARC is developing a compact and robust platform for rapid pathogen identification and quantitation in water.

In this paper, we take this line of work a step further by investigating real-world practicality and usability of (as well as interest in) some of these methods.

This paper describes the results of a multi-year ethnographic study of how knowledge workers integrate new technology into their work practices.

This paper describes a novel technology for dewatering of bio materials, such as algae, for biofuel production and other applications.

Since these systems are often unattended, it is often important to automatically detect such incidents early. In this paper, we describe innovative algorithms to address these problems.

To address this, we present image quality metrics that can be extracted without a nominal reference image and can be used to characterize these problems.

This paper presents the first efficient and provably-secure construction for privacy-preserving evaluation of sample set similarity, measured as the Jaccard similarity index.

The vision for additive printing of flexible electronics is on-demand digital fabrication/integration of electronics on any surface.

In this report recent developments made in printed systems technology will be presented, including examples of printed complimentary circuits, sensors and power sources fabricated using techniques such as ink-jet and…

In this paper, we present a system, Walk&Sketch, that creates floor plans of an indoor environment by a person walking through the environment at a normal strolling pace and taking…

This paper outlines the system and reports on some initial results, including the algorithms we've found useful for cleaning up those document images, and the techniques used to extract and…

Scalable circuits of organic logic and memory are realized using all-additive printing processes.
