SteadyShot

SteadyShot is the trademarked name of the integrated image stabilisation technologies used in Sony video camcorders, DSLR cameras and on Sony Xperia smartphones and tablets. Different versions of these technologies are known as Super SteadyShot (SSS), SteadyShot INSIDE (SSI) and Optical SteadyShot (OSS) in Sonys Cyber-shot and Alpha product families.

Design

When a camera is operated hand-held, the operator's shaky hands cause instabilities in the captured image stream. SteadyShot technology works inside the body of the camera. It uses motion sensors to detect the user's movements. SteadyShot then compensates for some of these movements, in some versions by moving the optics and in some versions by moving the image sensor in an opposite direction to the movement.

This approach is contrasted to digital image stabilization in which the physical image is allowed to "track" the scene on the CCD by software to produce a stable image. The digital technique requires the pixel count to be increased to allow the image to move on the sensor while keeping reference points within the boundaries of the capture chip.

SSS (cipher)

In cryptography, SSS is a stream cypher algorithm developed by Gregory Rose, Philip Hawkes, Michael Paddon, and Miriam Wiggers de Vries. It includes a message authentication code feature. It has been submitted to the eSTREAM Project of the eCRYPT network. It has not selected for focus nor for consideration during Phase 2; it has been 'archived'.

WABI

WABI or wabi may refer to:

Wabi (software)

Wabi was a commercial product from Sun Microsystems that implemented the Windows Win16 API specification on Solaris; a version for Linux was also released by Caldera Systems. Wabi supported running applications developed for Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups.

History

The technology was originally developed by Praxsys Technologies as the result of discussions in 1990 with Interactive Systems Corporation. The assets of Praxsys were acquired by Sun in the fall of 1992. The name "Wabi" was chosen for two reasons: its meaning in Japanese of balance or harmony, which conjured the notion of a more peaceful coexistence between Windows and Unix software; and, the more obvious implication of it standing for "Windows Application Binary Interface", although before its release Sun declared that the name was not an acronym.

Wabi 2.2B was licensed by Caldera to allow its users to run Windows applications under Linux, together with the also licensed Merge.

Wabi development was discontinued in December 1997.

WAEI (AM)

WAEI (910 AM) is a radio station licensed to Bangor, Maine, USA. The station is owned by Blueberry Broadcasting.as of August 28, 2014.

History

The station began broadcasting as WABI in November 1924, operating at 1250 kilocycles under the ownership of the Bangor Railway & Electric Company. A license had been granted in May 1923. It is Maine's oldest radio station (several other stations, including WMB in Auburn and WPAY in Bangor, were licensed prior to WABI but have since ceased operations, with WMB being deleted two months before WABI's licensing). Ownership was transferred to the First Universalist Church by 1926; within a year, it moved to 770 kc., and on November 11, 1928, the Federal Radio Commission moved WABI to 1200 kc. By 1930, the station was owned by Pine Tree Broadcasting Corporation; in 1932, it was again transferred to the First Universalist Society. Under the First Universalist Church, WABI only broadcast on Sundays. The station was owned by Community Broadcasting Service by 1935; it was Bangor's CBS affiliate, replacing WLBZ, by 1939. During the early 1940s, WABI again changed frequencies; the North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement moved the station to 1230 kc. in 1941, and in 1942 it began broadcasting at its current frequency of 910 kHz.
