Philo of Alexandria’s interpretation of the Jewish cultus

Philo of Alexandria holds a significant place in the intellectual environment in which Christianity originated and an examination, therefore, of his thought is of value in appreciating the influences which affected the development of that religion. The aspect of his thought considered in this study is his treatment of the Jewish cultus. The two major English works on Philo published during this century are by H.A. Wolfson and E.R. Goodenough respectively. The former sees Philo primarily as a philosopher and says little of his cultic or mystical interest. Goodenough, however, maintains that Philo transformed the Jewish cultus into a Hellenistic mystery. Turning to the writings of Philo, his treatment of various aspects of the cult are considered in turn, beginning with the Temple. From this it emerges that, on the one hand, he reads a spiritual meaning into the various parts of the Temple and, on the other, uses the Temple imagery to describe his personal mysticism. This twofold approach is also employed in his treatment of the remainder of the cult, namely the priesthood, sacrifice and the festivals. It is important that the two methods used by Philo in handling cultic material be clearly distinguished from each other. The spiritualising of the cult is very different from the metaphorical use of cultic imagery to describe another type of religion and passages in which the latter method is being used are not indicative of Philo's attitude to the cult, a fact which Goodenough fails to appreciate. Contrary to Goodenough's view, Philo did not turn the Jewish cultus into a mystery, rather he held it in tension with his personal mysticism in a way which enabled him to remain a practising Jew while continuing his study of mystic philosophy

High voltage, high resolution, digital-to-analog converter for driving deformable mirrors

Digital-to-analog converters with a range over 50 volts are required for driving micro-electro mechanical system deformable mirrors used in adaptive optics. An existing tested and deployed DM driver has 1024 channels and resolution of 15mV per Least Significant Bit. DMs used in the search for exoplanets require 3mV per LSB resolution. A technique is presented to employ a secondary high resolution and low voltage DAC which has for it's ground the output of the high voltage DAC. The entire system then has the range of high voltage DAC yet the resolution of the low voltage DAC. A method for providing signal and power to the floating system is given. Rudimentary micro controller firmware and also PC software is presented to achieve complete functionality. The technique uses all off-the-shelf components. Resolution of 1.6mV per LSB, 60V range and 36mW of power per channel is achieved

Efficiency of deep convolutional neural networks on an elementary classification task

V této diplomové práci jsou srovnány modely hlubokých konvolučních neuronových sítí a modely deskriptorů příznaků. Modely deskriptorů příznaků jsou doplněny o vybraný vhodný klasifikátor. Tyto modely spadají do oblasti strojového učení, a tudíž jsou v práci popsány typy strojového učení. Dále jsou tyto vybrané modely popsány a vysvětleny jejich základy a problémy. Je vypsán hardware a software použitý k uskutečnění testů a jsou vypsány výsledky testů a shrnutí výsledků. Pak je provedeno srovnání uvedených modelů na základě přesnosti validace a časové náročnosti.In this thesis deep convolutional neural networks models and feature descriptor models are compared. Feature descriptors are paired with suitable chosen classifier. These models are a part of machine learning therefore machine learning types are described in this thesis. Further these chosen models are described, and their basics and problems are explained. Hardware and software used for tests is listed and then test results and results summary is listed. Then comparison based on the validation accuracy and training time of these said models is done.

Communication with external devices by I2C bus

Diplomová práce se zabývá sběrnicí I2C a přípravkem, který má sloužit pro demonstraci v předmětu Mikroprocesorová technika vyučovaném na ústavu Radioelektroniky. Sběrnice I2C je výhodná tam kde potřebujeme realizovat přenos dat na krátkou vzdálenost s omezenými prostorovými možnostmi, ale nepožadujeme vysokou rychlost přenosu dat. Přípravek je sestaven tak aby bylo možno realizovat na přípravku i jiné úlohy než jenom úlohy zabývající se sběrnicí I2C. V přípravku je sběrnice využita pro přenos data, času, teploty, dat pro D/A převodník, dat z a do paměti EEPROM a dat do 16-ti bitového expandéru.This diploma paper deals with the data bus line I2C and a supportive demonstration tool for the subject Microprocessor technology taught at the Radioelectronics faculty. The data bus line I2C is convenient when short-distance data transmission with restricted spatial possibilities is required but high velocity of data transmission is not necessary. The tool is compiled in such a way that enables it to also perform other tasks apart from those dealing with the I2C data bus line. The data bus line in the tool is utilized for transmission of date, time, temperature, data for the D/A converter, data from and to the EEPROM memory and data to 16 bits expander.
