		<title>Units Conversion Toolbox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brett's Pick this week is Units Conversion Toolbox, by John McDermid. Once, a long time ago, I was a real engineer, working on real engineering problems. My trusty HP 48S Scientific Calculator was always by my side when I was working, largely because of its capacity to manage my units. That is, I could readily [...]]]></description>

		<title>A non-engineer tinkers with Simulink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greg's pick this week is A non-engineer tinkers with Simulink by Dimitri Shvorob. Contents Non-Engineer Using Simulink&#8230;Does Not Compute. Can the Rest of Us Learn to Label Blocks Too? Non-Engineer Using Simulink&#8230;Does Not Compute. Although I don&#8217;t always understand our users' day-to-day jobs, I&#8217;m always interested to learn how they are applying MathWorks tools--especially for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Publishing called functions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jiro's pick this week is "Publish dependent and called functions" by Nick Angelini. Publishing is one of the things I always highlight to MATLAB users, new or experienced. Even though the feature has been around for over 7 years, not many people know about it. I was one of those people who went through graduate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drag Objects Conveniently</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brett's Pick this week is Draggable, by Francois Bouffard. For a pet project of mine, I needed to implement (in MATLAB code, of course!) a repositionable, resizable rectangle. I wanted to be able to drag the rectangle itself, but I also wanted to expose "handles" that would allow me to drag from the sides or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Watch HDTV in MATLAB</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Idin's Pick this week is ATSC: From RF to Video, by Dick Benson. Watch HDTV in MATLAB? Well, not quite. This submission shows how to receive ATSC signals (standard used for HDTV in North America) using MATLAB/Simulink, but it&#8217;s not real-time. Nonetheless, this is one of the most complete examples of a communication system available [...]]]></description>

		<title>Automatically add copyright information to your MATLAB files</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jiro's pick this week is addcopyright by Mirko Hrovat. As a customer-facing engineer at MathWorks, I distribute a lot of MATLAB example files, including files posted on the File Exchange. As a policy, we add copyright information to our MATLAB files. I spend some non-trivial amount of time opening files and adding the copyright information [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get Information About Your Computer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brett's Pick this week is CPU Info by Ben Tordoff. Today's is a quick-Pick, to go with our holiday greetings. Occasionally, you might want to know some hard-to-find information about your computer. You could spend some time digging around in your documentation, or you could simply download and run Ben's CPU Info file. More important [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simulink for Natural Interaction Device</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Doug's pick this week is Simulink for Natural Interaction Device by Takashi Chikamasa. Although I work at a software company my background is in mechanical engineering, so I'm a sucker for hardware. You might have seen the work I did to link Simulink with the Arduino platform. Needless to say, I was pretty excited when [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Vivid Colormap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jiro's pick this week is Vivid Colormap by Joseph Kirk. Good uses of colors can help convey ideas effectively. It can help you accentuate certain concepts. Or you may need to use a gradient color that translates well when printed in gray scale. Joseph's entry really caught my attention. As the name suggests, it produces [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will my flow be turbulent?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brett's Pick this week is Moody, by Tom Davis. I am not a mechanical engineer, though I did study fluid mechanics in my biomedical engineering past. In fluid flows, the Reynolds number is a dimensionless parameter that describes the ratio of inertial to viscous forces. This relationship is significant because, among other things, it can [...]]]></description>
