") 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 $our submission. Paper is e7pensi!e, so do not
lea!e an$ e7cessi!e %hite-unused spaces in $our paper.
Authors should a!oid the situation %here the last pa+e of the
paper onl$ 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) $ubmission 1rocedure
The only acceptable electronic format is *ord +)0 or later
6.doc or .doc78. The title of the electronic file should include
the last name of the first authorG i.e., smith.doc. For papers
presented at the ICCE 6IEEE International Conference on
Consumer Electronics8, the file should also include the paper
presentation date and the paper number, e.+., :=>?@"EBF#.
For non5conference papers, use the first t%o %ords of the
paper title and last name of first author, e.+., Preparation
of.4irst"uthor.doc.
Papers must be submitted electronicall$ to
http,--%%%.cloInet.com-ieee5ce-. The %eb site %ill re0uire
$ou to enter information about the paper as %ell as contact
information, to /ustif$ %hat is ne% about $our paper and %h$
$our paper is rele!ant to Consumer Electronics. If the paper
%as presented at ICCE, the paper number must be entered in
the appropriate location. )pon successful submission of the
paper, an automatic email confirmation %ill be sent to the
contact author.
The abo!e contact information %ill also be used to pro!ide
a complimentar$ cop$ of the issue in %hich the paper is
published to each author. (nl$ one complimentar$ cop$ per
paper of the issue in %hich the paper is published %ill be sent
to the contact author. The T5CE cannot be responsible for
%ron+, incomplete, or chan+ed mailin+ addresses or dela$s b$
postal ser!ices.
If there are 0uestions, the prospecti!e author ma$ %ish to

All papers, includin+ resubmitted papers, submitted to the

authors to resubmit ne% !ersions of their paper. This )&*
%ill be a!ailable until the issue submission deadline. Please
use this method to send updated papers before the deadline

The IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS
publishes papers presentin+ new technology that is rele!ant,

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

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

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.

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

The IEEE T&A'SACTI('S (' C('S)ME& E*ECT&('ICS
