This section co!ers the details re+ardin+ preparation of $our manuscript for submission, the submission procedure, re!ie% process and cop$ri+ht information. ") 1reparation of Manuscript In the interest of speed and econom$, the IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS onl$ accepts 1camera5read$2 papers that are printed directl$ from this electronic template as furnished b$ the author. $ince the final printed pages loo2 e0actly li2e the submitted copy, it is ur+ed that authors ta4e the utmost care in the preparation utiliIin+ this electronic template. For $our information, pa+e siIe is B.@7:: inches and column %idth is >.>E@ inches. All fi+ures and tables should ha!e ade0uate titles or captions as e7ampled later in this document, and must be inte+rall$ placed at their proper location6s8 in the te7t. For the benefit of the readers, the fi+ures, tables, +raphs and photos should be placed near the correspondin+ te7tG that is, not accumulated at the end of the te0t or at the end of the manuscript . Further information on Fi+ures and Tables can be found in Section 3II5B. ;o not include an$ blan4 pa+es either at the be+innin+ or end of $our manuscript, or an$ messa+es to the editor or re!ie%ers in $our submission.

Authors should a!oid the situation %here the last pa+e of the paper onl$ contains a sub5set of the authorsA bio+raphies. ;ue care should be e7ercised to a!oid the use of abbre!iations and phrases %hich ma$ not be familiar to all readers. &eaders of the IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS ha!e %ide and di!erse bac4+rounds and ma$ not be emplo$ed in the specific area of an$ +i!en paper, but are still interested in follo%in+ the state5of5the5art. All abbre!iations and phrases need to be suitabl$ defined in the te7t, usuall$, the first time the$ occur. It is +ood practice not to use abbre!iations in the title. The len+th of contributed technical papers is limited to F pa+es or less 6includin+ all fi+ures and bio+raphies8. The len+th of in!ited papers is at the discretion of the editor.

Pa+e numbers and pa+e headin+s are not to be added b$ authors. 'either is 1Manuscript &ecei!ed2 or 1Correspondence Author2 information. (nl$ those %ho personall$ %rite the paper are to be listed as authors. Since it is unli4el$ that a lar+e number of authors can %rite a cohesi!e paper, submissions listing more than five authors will not be accepted . The efforts of the persons %ho contributed to the pro/ect described, or %ho other%ise pro!ide help to the author6s8 ma$ be reco+niIed in an Ac4no%led+ments section at the end of the paper. For each author, a brief bio+raph$ for each author is to be included at the end of the paper as detailed in this template. The inclusion of a small photo+raph 6head onl$8 of each author is encoura+ed but not mandator$. If an author does not %ant a photo+raph, then delete the photobo7 for that authorAs bio+raph$. 3) $ubmission 1rocedure The only acceptable electronic format is *ord +)0 or later 6.doc or .doc78. The title of the electronic file should include the last name of the first authorG i.e., smith.doc. For papers presented at the ICCE 6IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics8, the file should also include the paper presentation date and the paper number, e.+., :=>?@"EBF#.

III. #RIT%RIA & R $"(*I#ATI N The IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS publishes papers presentin+ new technology that is rele!ant, interestin+, enli+htenin+ and instructi!e for members of the Consumer Electronics Societ$. It should be emphasiIed that ne% technolo+$ does not simpl$ impl$ ne% product de!elopment %here unusual technical achie!ement has been attained. The 4e$ factor is the emphasis placed on the technology rather than the product. The scope of the IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS is 1The engineering and research aspects of the theory, design, construction, manufacture or end use of mass mar2et electronics, systems, software and services for consumers2 and broadl$ constructed under the follo%in+ areas, Camera-;ispla$-Transducer s$stems, Communications technolo+$ related to consumer products, Consumer 'et%or4s, Consumer &ecord-Pla$bac4-Stora+e s$stems, Si+nal Processin+ techni0ues applicable to consumer products, <ames Technolo+ies and Soft%are for Consumer Products. For authorsA %ho ha!e not submitted to I T!"#$"%TI&#$ &# %&#$'M ! ( %T!&#I%$ before, it is re0uested that a number of past issues are e7amined to learn the st$le and lan+ua+e of the /ournal. It is stron+l$ recommended that papers submitted to the IEEE T5CE be based on papers pre!iousl$ published in the T5CE and sho% their rele!ance to T5CE b$ citin+ rele!ant pre!ious T5CE papers. (ur Publications &e!ie% Committee %ill chec4 for such basis %hen re!ie%in+ the &eferences section of all submitted papers. <ate5le!el desi+n of inte+rated circuits, detailed securit$ s$stems 6includin+ %atermar4in+8, Internet and Personal Computer desi+n, in +eneral %ill not be accepted. The emphasis of technolo+$ implies certain criteria must be obser!ed in papers presented for publication in the IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS. The material in the te7t of the paper should be of the nature of a re!elation of technical information not +enerall$ 4no%n or familiar to the consumer en+ineerin+ communit$. This ma$ be in the form of ne% technical de!elopments or tutorial in nature %here scattered sources of information are brou+ht to+ether in one coherent reference. Per IEEE polic$, authors ma$ not submit a +i!en manuscript to t%o or more publications %ithout informin+ the editor that the paper is concurrentl$ under consideration b$

another publication. 3iolators %ill be reported to IEEE and could be sub/ect to suspension of publication opportunities. It is re0uired that an indi!idual author is not an author in more than > papers bein+ considered, per issue, includin+ resubmissions. ") %ommercialism All e!idence of commercialism is to be meticulousl$ a!oided in the title, te7t, footnotes, tables and fi+ures of the paper. This includes compan$ names, trademar4s, re+istered lo+os and commercial part numbers. It is appropriate to put the compan$ affiliation of the authors6s8, alon+ %ith email addresses %ithin the footnote on the first pa+e, as indicated b$ this template. "ll commercial part numbers, whether the sub8ect of the paper or not, are to be avoided in the title, te0t, tables and illustrations . 'o commercial names or part numbers are no% allo%ed in the footnote. The IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS must con!e$ a professional approach to its readers and attempts at in/ectin+ commercialism in papers presented for publication ha!e been, and %ill continue to be, ade0uate cause for re/ection. 3) Image %opyright In +eneral ima+es that are under cop$ri+ht should be a!oided, and in most cases %ould contra!ene the commercialism rule. 9o%e!er, in e7treme cases, authors can use non5commercial ima+es that are under cop$ri+ht pro!idin+ that the authors ha!e permission to do so b$ the ori+inal cop$ri+ht holder and clearl$ state after the ima+e caption that the authors ha!e permission from the ori+inal cop$ri+ht holder to use the ima+e. %) 1lagiarism The IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS performs an electronic chec4 on papers to detect pla+iarism as per IEEE polic$. If authors of submitted papers are suspected of si+nificantl$ presentin+ %or4 that has been published before, b$ an$ author, then the submitted paper %ill be remo!ed from the submission 0ueue and full$ in!esti+ated. 3iolators %ill be reported to IEEE and could be sub/ect to suspension of publication opportunities.
