For TUFFC publication purpose, the multimedia files are defined in three categories: (1) Color Figures (JPEG - Joint Photographic Expert Group - .jpg format, or GIF - Graphics Interchange Format - .gif format), (2) Sound Only (MP3 - Motion Picture Level 3 - .mp3 format), and (3) Movies or Animations with or without Sound (MPEG - Motion Picture Expert Group - .mpg format, or GIF format). These file types are common nowadays and can be viewed by various software (see "Information for Contributors" at http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/contrib.pdf for details).
If you don’t have a fast internet connection, or you want to avoid difficulties due to complicated layers of internet security settings that may prevent you from playing multimedia contents online, you may download a zip-compressed file to your computer for a smooth playback of multimedia contents by following the link "Multimedia-Zipped" (this link appears only when the paper contains a multimedia file) beside the page number of the paper. After unzip the file, a folder (directory) that contains all relevant multimedia files is produced. In this folder, please open the only PDF file (the paper itself) and then click on icons in the file for your multimedia experiences. For the icon links to the multimedia contents to be valid, the names of the sub-folder and its contents in the unzipped folder should not be changed. A multimedia example can be visited at: http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/mexample.pdf. A zip-compressed version of the example that contains all the multimedia files is downloadable from: http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/mexample.zip.
