Artificial kinesthetic systems for telerehabilitation. (2004)

Artificial sensory motor systems are now under development in a truly wearable form using an innovative technology based on electroactive polymers. The integration of electroactive polymeric materials into wearable garments endorses them with strain sensing and mechanical actuation properties. The methodology underlying the design of haptic garments has necessarily to rely on knowledge of biological perceptual and motor processes which is, however, scattered and fragmented. Notwithstanding, the combined use of new polymeric electroactive materials in the form of fibers and fabrics with emerging concepts of biomimetic nature in sensor data analysis, pseudomuscular actuator control and biomechanical design may not only provide new avenues toward the realization of truly wearable kinesthetic and haptic interfaces, but also clues and instruments to better comprehend human manipulative and gestual functions. In this talk the conception, early stage implementation and preliminary testing of a fabric-based wearable interface endowed with spatially redundant strain sensing and distributed actuation are illustrated with reference to a wearable upper limb artificial kinesthesia system, intended to be used in telerehabilitation of post stroke patient.
Object recognition in RGBD images of cluttered environments using graph-based categorization with unsupervised learning of shape parts (2013)

We present an approach for object class learning using a part-based shape categorization in RGB-augmented 3D point clouds captured from cluttered indoor scenes with a Kinect-like sensor. A graph representation is used to detect and categorize object instances based on part-constellations found in scenes. No assumptions like objects being placed on planar surfaces or constraints on their poses are required. Our approach consists of the following steps: 1) a Mean-Shift-based over-segmentation of a point cloud into atomic patches; 2) use of topological and geometric features to merge surface-homogeneous atomic patches into super patches; 3) an unsupervised classification of these parts that allows to symbolically label distinctively unknown object parts by their surface-structural appearance; and finally, 4) a graph generation procedure that reflects the constellation of the detected parts from object instances of certain shape categories. Furthermore, an inference procedure is presented that processes extracted part constellations of a scene to detect and categorize object instances. Experiments with challenging, cluttered scenes show that the segmentation procedure provides salient parts of objects which lead to a good categorization performance using the graph-based constellation model concept.
Realization of high-Q inductors using wirebonding technology (2003)

Two types of novel high-Q vertical on-chip inductors using wirebonding technology are proposed for low cost and high performance Si-RFIC's. The new inductors show significant improvements of the quality factor and the self-resonant frequency. Their measured maximum quality factors are about 3-times higher than those of the planar spiral inductors (7 for 3.4 nH, 6 for 5 nH) at most. From these experimental results, the bondwire inductors are expected to greatly improve the performance and the production cost of Si-RFIC's.
Ring down artefacts on abdominal sonography to predict pulmonary abnormalities in the emergency department (2005)

Ring down artefacts are sometimes found when emergency physicians perform abdominal ultrasound to differentiate between various abdominal problems. We describe a patient who presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and whose ultrasound examination showed ring down artefacts posterior to the right hemidiaphragm, which led to the eventual diagnosis of pneumonia. Ring down artefacts on ultrasound may be used to predict pulmonary abnormalities. Awareness of this sonographic finding may assist in accurate diagnosis and administration of appropriate treatment without delay.
Computational spectroscopy via singular-value decomposition and regularization (2014)

Computational spectrometer based on a broadband diffractive optic was demonstrated with high spectral resolution over large bandwidth and high photon utilization efficiency. In this paper, we analyze such a spectrometer using singular value decomposition and propose a faster spectrum reconstruction algorithm with excellent accuracy by regularization. A new definition of spectral resolution based upon the Fourier analysis of singular vectors is described as well.
The analysis of oxide reliability data (2002)

Techniques for measuring gate oxide reliability, such as TDDB, voltage ramps, and current ramps, have existed for a long time, but many of these are applied qualitatively. We discuss here detailed aspects of analysis methods which can be applied to these techniques to make absolute reliability determinations. Along the way, we discuss important aspects such as failure rate based methodologies, band-bending corrections to measured gate voltages, active gate oxide area scaling, and quasi-static lifetime transformations.
People, Preferences & Prices: Sequencing the Economic Genome of the Consumer Mind (2011)

This book explores a variety of topics that fall in the realm of psychological and behavioral economics. It demonstrates to the reader how to perform straightforward experiments in order to understand how people think about the economic aspects of their daily lives. Behavioral economics is a 'hot new area' of economics and consumer psychology. This book provides a comprehensive guide on consumer research and the types of results required. These approaches are spreading further around the globe, thanks to the work of Dr. Howard Moskowitz, one of the authors of this book, and the incredible success of Selling Blue Elephants. In other words, the book is just slightly ahead of a sea change in consumer research, and may be one of the 'tipping points'. (Coincidentally, Malcolm Gladwell, the bestselling author, is a great admirer of Dr. Moskowitz)
The Grid Application Toolkit: Toward Generic and Easy Application Programming Interfaces for the Grid (2005)

Core Grid technologies are rapidly maturing, but there remains a shortage of real Grid applications. One important reason is the lack of a simple and high-level application programming toolkit, bridging the gap between existing Grid middleware and application-level needs. The Grid Application Toolkit (GAT), as currently developed by the EC-funded project GridLab, provides this missing functionality. As seen from the application, the GAT provides a unified simple programming interface to the Grid infrastructure, tailored to the needs of Grid application programmers and users. A uniform programming interface will be needed for application developers to create a new generation of "Grid-aware" applications. The GAT implementation handles both the complexity and the variety of existing Grid middleware services via so-called adaptors. Complementing existing Grid middleware, GridLab also provides high-level services to implement the GAT functionality. We present the GridLab software architecture, consisting of the GAT, environment-specific adaptors, and GridLab services. We elaborate the concepts underlying the GAT and outline the corresponding application programming interface. We present the functionality of GridLab's high-level services and demonstrate how a dynamic Grid application can easily benefit from the GAT. All GridLab software is open source and can be downloaded from the project Web site.
A study of distributed compressive sensing for the Internet of Things (IoT) (2018)

Compressive sensing (CS) has been very useful for the Internet of Things (IoT). CS aims to reduce the number of samples acquired and transmitted by a sensor node using a low complex sampling operation. Furthermore, distributed compressive sensing (DCS) was introduced where the compressively sampled sensors' readings are jointly recovered at the fusion center rather than being recovered separately as in the CS. As a result, a reduction in the number of required measurements as well as the complexity of the sensor nodes is achieved. None of the previous works had studied the performance of DCS for sensed signals with abnormalities caused by sensor malfunctioning, sudden changes in temperature, or humidity. (i.e., practical IoT networks). In this paper, we extensively study the performance of DCS when signals with abnormalities are considered using simulations. The results show that DCS outperforms CS in successfully recovering signals with abnormalities.

Development of Chlorophyll-Meter-Index-Based Dynamic Models for Evaluation of High-Yield Japonica Rice Production in Yangtze River Reaches (2019)

Accurate estimation of the nitrogen (N) spatial distribution of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is imperative when it is sought to maintain regional and global carbon balances. We systematically evaluated the normalized differences of the soil and plant analysis development (SPAD) index (the normalized difference SPAD indexes, NDSIs) between the upper (the first and second leaves from the top), and lower (the third and fourth leaves from the top) leaves of Japonica rice. Four multi-location, multi-N rate (0–390 kg ha−1) field experiments were conducted using seven Japonica rice cultivars (9915, 27123, Wuxiangjing14, Wunyunjing19, Wunyunjing24, Liangyou9, and Yongyou8). Growth analyses were performed at different growth stages ranging from tillering (TI) to the ripening period (RP). We measured leaf N concentration (LNC), the N nutrition index (NNI), the NDSI, and rice grain yield at maturity. The relationships among the NDSI, LNC, and NNI at different growth stages showed that the NDSI values of the third and fourth fully expanded leaves more reliably reflected the N nutritional status than those of the first and second fully expanded leaves (LNC: NDSIL3,4, R2 > 0.81; NDSIothers, 0.77 > R2 > 0.06; NNI: NDSIL3,4, R2 > 0.83; NDSIothers, 0.76 > R2 > 0.07; all p < 0.01). Two new diagnostic models based on the NDSIL3,4 (from the tillering to the ripening period) can be used for effective diagnosis of the LNC and NNI, which exhibited reasonable distributions of residuals (LNC: relative root mean square error (RRMSE) = 0.0683; NNI: RRMSE = 0.0688; p < 0.01). The relationship between grain yield, predicted yield, and NDSIL3,4 were established during critical growth stages (from the stem elongation to the heading stages; R2 = 0.53, p < 0.01, RRMSE = 0.106). An NDSIL3,4 high-yield change curve was drawn to describe critical NDSIL3,4 values for a high-yield target (10.28 t ha−1). Furthermore, dynamic-critical curve models based on the NDSIL3,4 allowed a precise description of rice N status, facilitating the timing of fertilization decisions to optimize yields in the intensive rice cropping systems of eastern China.

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (2003)

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disease characterized by abnormalities in ciliary structure/function. We hypothesized that the major clinical and biologic phenotypic markers of the disease could be evaluated by studying a cohort of subjects suspected of having PCD. Of 110 subjects evaluated, PCD was diagnosed in 78 subjects using a combination of compatible clinical features coupled with tests of ciliary ultrastructure and function. Chronic rhinitis/sinusitis (n = 78; 100%), recurrent otitis media (n = 74; 95%), neonatal respiratory symptoms (n = 57; 73%), and situs inversus (n = 43; 55%) are strong phenotypic markers of the disease. Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 12; 15%) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (n = 8; 10%) were present in older (> 30 years) patients with PCD. All subjects had defects in ciliary structure, 66% in the outer dynein arm. Nasal nitric oxide production was very low in PCD (nl/minute; 19 +/- 17 vs. 376 +/- 124 in normal control subjects). Rigorous clinical and ciliary phenotyping and measures of nasal nitric oxide are useful for the diagnosis of PCD. An increased awareness of the clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria for PCD will help lead to better diagnosis and care for this orphan disease.
Naphthoquinone Colouring Matters. Part 7.<sup>1</sup> Order Parameters of Pleochroic 2-Aryl-1,4-Naphthoquinone Dyes in a Nematic Liquid Crystal System (1983)

Abstract The order parameters of a number of novel 2-aryl-l,4-naphthoquinone dyes dissolved in a mixed cyanobiphenyl-terphenyl nematic liquid crystal system (Type E43, B.D.H. Chemicals Ltd.) have been determined. Observed values range from 0.80 to 0.09, and can be interpreted qualitatively by consideration of the w-dipole moment and transition moment directions of the dyes calculated by the PPP-SCF-CI MO method.
Towards Access Control for Isolated Applications (2016)

With the advancements in contemporary multi-core CPU architectures, it is now possible for a server operating

system (OS), such as Linux, to handle a large number of concurrent application services on a single server

instance. Individual application components of such services may run in different isolated runtime environments,

such as chrooted jails or application containers, and may need access to system resources and the ability

to collaborate and coordinate with each other in a regulated and secure manner. We propose an access control

framework for policy formulation, management, and enforcement that allows access to OS resources and also

permits controlled collaboration and coordination for service components running in disjoint containerized

environments under a single Linux OS server instance. The framework consists of two models and the policy

formulation is based on the concept of policy classes for ease of administration and enforcement. The policy

classes are managed and enforced through a Linux Policy Machine (LPM) that acts as the centralized reference

monitor and provides a uniform interface for accessing system resources and requesting application data and

control objects. We present the details of our framework and also discuss the preliminary implementation to

demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
Wavelet transforms on vector spaces as a method of multispectral image characterisation (1995)

A new form of wavelet-based feature extraction has been developed for the multiresolution analysis of multispectral imagery, in which the wavelet components have vector amplitudes which can be used to characterise multispectral phenomena such as colour, in addition to scalar brightness. A vector-based approach enables the detection of unusual events which do not stand out in any of the individual scalar image components, and a new approach to data compression based on background rejection. The wavelet analysis method described in the paper is applicable to any vector field where the base space is Euclidean (typically R/sup 2/), that is a mapping from a Euclidean space to a vector bundle. The latter is a collection of vector spaces (called fibres) of equal dimension, attached to each point in the Euclidean base space, and do not need to be related to the base space. The field vectors lie in the fibre space, not the base space, and so can be abstract and of much higher dimension than the base space. This property is very useful for the analysis of multispectral imagery.<

Monoclonal antibody localization of Lewis antigens in fixed tissue. (1984)

Monoclonal antibodies that bind specifically with Lewisa (Lea) and Lewisb (Leb) antigens were used in an immunoperoxidase assay to characterize Lewis (Le) antigenic profile of a variety of fixed tissues. Representative sections of normal and malignant tissue from the stomach, colon, pancreas, and kidney were examined and compared. Lea antigen was expressed more often in gastric adenocarcinomas (80%) than normal gastric mucosa (40%). In gastric tumors with concomitant expression of Le antigens, larger areas within an individual tumor expressed Lea antigen rather than Leb antigen. Expression of Leb antigen in normal colonic tissue was seen only in the proximal colon and not distal colon; colon carcinomas, on the other hand, expressed Leb antigen (64%) regardless of where the primary arose. Leb antigen was expressed in large pancreatic ducts (three of three) more often than Lea antigen (one of three); exclusive expression of Lea antigen was demonstrated in the proximal convoluted tubules of normal kidney (three of three) and in renal cell carcinomas (six of eight).

Efficient charge recovery logic (2002)

Efficient Charge Recovery Logic (ECRL) is proposed as a candidate for low-energy adiabatic logic. Power comparison with other logic circuits is performed on an inverter chain and a carry lookahead adder (CLA). ECRL CLA is designed as a pipelined structure for obtaining the same throughput as a conventional static CMOS CLA.

A Hybrid Energy Storage With a SMES and Secondary Battery (2005)

An energy storage device with high energy density and high power density is desired for compensation of fluctuating loads such as railway substations and distributed generations such as wind turbines. Typically, a SMES (Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) has higher power density than other devices of the same purpose, and secondary batteries have higher energy density than SMES. In this study, the authors propose a hybrid energy storage system composed of a superconducting magnet and secondary battery for an energy storage system with high energy density and high power density. The sharing method of power for each storage device using a Fuzzy control and filters, simulation for the compensation of railway loads and the power of wind turbines are presented.
Exploiting Task Parallelism with OpenCL: A Case Study (2018)

While data parallelism aspects of OpenCL have been of primary interest due to the massively data parallel GPUs being on focus, OpenCL also provides powerful capabilities to describe task parallelism. In this article we study the task parallel concepts available in OpenCL and find out how well the different vendor-specific implementations can exploit task parallelism when the parallelism is described in various ways utilizing the command queues. We show that the vendor implementations are not yet capable of extracting kernel-level task parallelism from in-order queues automatically. To assess the potential performance benefits of in-order queue parallelization, we implemented such capabilities to an open source implementation of OpenCL. The evaluation was conducted by means of a case study of an advanced noise reduction algorithm described as a multi-kernel OpenCL application.
