Access to raw data from Microsot band 2 - microsoft-band

Im a student and i'm doing a research. I decided to use Microsoft band 2 for it. for that, i need to get the raw data from this wearsble device.
is it possible to get the raw data?
thank you.

There is an app called " Companion for Band". it allows to get raw data from the Microsoft Band.

Although The Microsoft Band SDK is no longer available, you can try to search for the library file on the Internet (I recommend you start with Github).
If you're developing for Android, then look for microsoft-band-1.3.20307.2.jar or microsoft-band-1.3.20307.2.aar.
Despite Microsoft Band 2 is discontinued, the developer manual is still there.

Using Google Transliterate [NOT TRANSLATE] API in Android

The project that I'm working on mandates (by law) the name of the business to be displayed to the users in the regional language.
The best option that I could find was Google Transliterate. I'm aware Google Transliterate API has been officially deprecated as of May 26, 2011 but is still available to be used - which solves by need.
So my question is - How can I use Transliterate API without the need to open a web browser? When a user keys in a Edit Text say for e.g. "Baskin Robbins" I would like to get it transliterated behind the scene. I'm on minSdk 10.
Any pointers to working samples would be very much appreciated. Is LiquidCore as possibility? https://github.com/LiquidPlayer/LiquidCore . Any known implementation of Liquidcore & Transliterate? Please advise.

qt3d and the oculus sdk

Given qt3d's structure, is it possible to integrate the oculus sdk with a qt3d application?
I have tried but my two main obstacles are:
I cant use the textures from the texture swap chain created by the oculus sdk as a render target attachment
I am not able to call ovr_SubmitFrame at the end of each frame since qt3d doesnt have a signal that would allow me to do so.
Has anyone successfully gotten the oculus sdk to work with qt3d? If so, how did you overcome these issues?
Are there any plans for allowing the integration of VR SDKs (not just oculus') in qt3d in further releases?
You could probably do it with some sort of custom framegraph that encapsulated the stereo rendering functionality and included a custom component that could take the currently rendered content and submitted it to the SDK prior to the swapbuffer call.
Alternatively you could dive into the code that processes the framegraph itself and see how hard it would be to customize it to work against a VR API. I've done significant work with integrating Qt apps with VR, but not specifically with Qt3D.
The frame graph will indeed provide one part of the solution for the stereoscopic rendering setup. There is already an anaglyphic stereo example showing most of what you need that ships with Qt 3D.
To integrate the swap chain of the occulus SDK will require deeper integration. I do not know the details of the Occulus SDK as yet but we can take a look.
From what I can see you should be able to do something analogous to the Scene3D custom Qt Quick 2 item to be able to render to the textures provided by the Occulus SDK and to tell Qt 3D which OpenGL Context to use. See
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt3d.git/tree/src/quick3d/imports/scene3d?h=5.7
Nicolas, I also do not appreciate you publicly saying that KDAB are not much help. I only received an email from Karsten on Friday which I responded to despite being on vacation saying that we can help but it will be on a best efforts basis since you are not paying and I have a very full workload preparing Qt 3D for release at the end of the month along with Qt 5.7. Today is a public holiday in the UK, as you are aware, yet you are already saying detrimental things about us.
You were also directed to post to the interest#qt-project.org mailing list on the qt-forums as I do not tend to monitor SO or the qt-forums on a regular basis. You could have also emailed us directly or via the development#qt-interest mailing list.
We would be more than happy to set up a support agreement with you.

How do I get a full list of genres from the Gracenote Music API?

We are currently working with the Gracenote Music API and are wondering if there is a full list of generes and mappings between the different hierarchies of genres. Ideally, we'd love a dump of those tables in the backend Gracenote system. If .csv's, text files, or even XML are easier to provide, we will figure out a way to import that data in our system.
If a full mapping isn't available, a list of top level genres would be very helpful.
I'm afraid there is no way to iterate the list of genres via the Web API. Most of the client SDKs have this capability.
It turns out that there are at least three sources for example code in the GNSDK:
Properly maintained samples in the "samples" directory. This will compile into full applications with minimal effort (once you've settled on a makefile solution for your platform, as a complete Automake setup is not yet part of the package).
samples/code_snippets - These are useful to look at, but do not necessarily build into full apps, and may not be completely up to date with the SDK.
Code linked from the documentation. This is a problem if you downloaded the SDK as an archive and the documentation as a PDF, as the links will resolve as relative file links, not HTTP links, and you won't have the files. You need to look at the HTML version of the documentation on the server to find these files. However, they are apparently outdated and will not build without some (relatively minor rework). This can be done using the primary samples as a guide.
So, all of that said, what you want to look at in the GNSDK Developer's Guide is "Advanced Topics : Using Lists". You will want to read that entire section, then find and work with the sample application referenced on page 93.
To get the list of genres (or moods, or eras) you need to make a call to the "fieldvalues" API, you can see how to do it here:
https://developer.gracenote.com/rhythm-api#attribute-station
This call will give you the list of supported genres:
https://cXXXXXXX.web.cddbp.net/webapi/json/1.0/radio/fieldvalues?fieldname=RADIOGENRE&client=CLIENT_ID&user=USER_ID
You can then use the returned ID's with pygn.createRadio()

English dictionary needed for a word game

I'm looking for a way to include a full blown English dictionary in an iPhone app (a word game), the database must be able to include all conjugation possibilities for verbs, must include singular and plural spellings. So my app can query the database to check if the spelling is correct.
Is there a free or commercial database that would include those data?
You can use UITextChecker for spell-checking.
Regarding a dictionary, when I built an iOS dictionary library sometime ago (www.lexicontext.com) I used WordNet. WordNet contains a lot of interesting semantic info ...
NSSpellChecker is your easiest option, but it might be more complete to use the online Scrabble official dictionary as well and check it against both (only one match required.)
You could do a web-service request using http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/en_US/search.cfm
http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/cgi-bin/scrabble.cgi?Letters=&Pattern=______&MatchType=Exactly&MinLetters=3&SortBy=Alpha&SearchType=Scrabble
Change min letters to get different results
The best place to find a database for a spell-checker is probably a free text processing application. So, I'd try with Open Office version of Word. Download it, install it and simply find the dictionary file.
Open Office is licensed under LGPL, so it should be fine, just check if the licence covers the data as well (i.e. the dictionary file).
Maybe this English corpus helps: http://www.wordfrequency.info/free.asp

Any dynamic organisation chart avaiable in flex

Does anyone know of any opensource tool for creating dynamic organization chart in flex by reading values from database
Have a look at KapLab (http://lab.kapit.fr)
They have free data vizualisation components. I think you might be interested by the Visualizer component.
It's not open-source though, but you can get the source code if you buy a licence.
(If you need more info, you can still contact me because I'm working closely with them)
The IBM ILog Elixer library has an organization charting component. It's not free, but it fits the bill of what you are looking for.
The most polished "free" components I've seen are the KapLab Visualizer that Pez mentioned.
However for actual open source your best be is the BirdEye Information Visualization and Visual Analytics Library. Check out the demo, the "Graphs" tab and I think tree is right up your alley. BirdEye is built with degrafa as is axiis another open source data visualization library.
Good luck!
Maybe The Flare library would suit your needs , I am starting to use it. Looks kinda funky
