Added some classes for performing linear least squares with linear inequality constraints, e.g., NNLS, LDP, LSI as discussed in "Solving Least Squares Problems" by Lawson and Hanson. Added some parallel computation routines for matrix multiplication within the MAT class. Please refer to the new javadoc.

Added a page on Practical questions about multi-shell acquisition to deal with how tensor.dat file should be modified in GE scanners and how the resultant bvals and bvecs should be scaled.

New release of HI-SPEED software.
There are too many updates this time around. I will list a few highlights.
1. uniform spiral pointset
2. uniform antipodally symmetric pointset
3. optimally ordered point set.
4. Nifti support.
5. Examples showing how to use OneDimensionalSignalTransformationalFramework in Matlab and Java.
6. Examples showing how to retrieve various uniform point sets in Matlab and Java.
Created a new pages ( 1 , 2 ) for those who have access to hispeed.jar and are interested in using the framework for breaking the noise floor and for retrieving point sets directly from their programming platforms such as Matlab, Mathematica, IDL or Java.
April 04, 2011
Created a new site for interested users to retrieve highly uniform point set on the unit sphere generated through a recently published technique.
October 8, 2010
Created a new site to show specific examples on how the methods are used or called.
October 8, 2010
There are too many updates. I will list a few highlights.
1. OneDimensionalSignalTransformationalFramework
2. TwoDimensionalSphericalSignalTransformationalFramework
3. New methods in Rational such as Clebsch-Gordon coefficients
4. JConjugateGradient
5. JFourier
6. Bug fixes on TensorialAveraging
IDL's Java bridge (Date: 10/7/2010)
For those who are interested in using the software within IDL. You need IDL license and IDL's java bridge to set up or initialize the java bridge, please refer to the IDL help file. For convenience, here is a PDF copy of IDL help file on Java bridge and Java objects in IDL.

Comments added to the secure website about Java JRE 1.6 vs. Java JRE 1.4
hispeed.zip and hispeed142.zip in the secure website contain the same java classes that were compiled under JDK 1.6.0_11 and JDK 1.4.2_13, respectively.
If you need the software compiled under JDK 1.4.2_13, please download hispeed142.zip and change the name of the folder from "hispeed142" to "hispeed" once the archive file is unzipped.
