Universal audio interface for autonomous use
Trojak, Ondřej ; Šťáva, Martin (referee) ; Levek, Vladimír (advisor)
This text analyses the current situation within the audio signal work field and the appropriate ways of connecting electronic networks for processing blocks. The thesis deals with circuit design, firmware programming and physical realization of a subsequently measured autonomous battery-powered interface which provides volume control of input signals and conversion of different types of connectors and signal lines, consuming low power and adding low noise. The device is also equipped with a phantom power supply for condenser microphones. The control consists of a set of buttons, a rotary encoder and a display unit.

The Purpose and Implementation of Fingerprint Scanning in Personal Computers
Varadinov, Petr ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (advisor) ; Rais, Aziz Ahmad (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with fingerprint recognition applied in personal computers. The topic is analyzed both chronologically in historical context and in connection with other biometric methods. The thesis provides a comprehensive survey of the topic. It starts with physical layer, goes through hardware parts and ends with software architecture. A special attention is paid to programming fingerprint recognition support into end-user applications. These are the aims of the thesis: to place the silicon fingerprint sensing technology into the historical context and describe its evolution in connection with personal computers till the present times, to provide the results of market research of fingerprint sensors used in personal computers, to work out the summary of the functions the end-users have at their disposal, to present the market research results of fingerprint software, to work out the overview and the comparison of available software development kits (SDKs) and that of application programming interfaces (APIs) used for the described fingerprint sensor devices, and last but not least to develop a demonstration application that communicates with a fingerprint sensor device. Technical literature, market researches together with my own experience from the work in this field were used so as to meet the set aims. As for the demo application of this technology it is my own innovative approach. The thesis is divided into seven chapters where Chapter II -- Chapter VI directly deal with the mentioned topics. The completion of a missing angle of approach to the subject from end-users' and application programmers' perspective is the main asset of this thesis. The work also allows orientation on the silicon fingerprint sensor market and fingerprint software market. Moreover it shows possibilities how to extend this technology, it provides a detailed analysis of the software layer and presents programming samples showing that show how to use this technology. The demo application allowing audio volume control by a fingerprint device is an innovation in the branch of computer input devices.
