An LSTM network for highway trajectory prediction (2017)

In order to drive safely and efficiently on public roads, autonomous vehicles will have to understand the intentions of surrounding vehicles, and adapt their own behavior accordingly. If experienced human drivers are generally good at inferring other vehicles' motion up to a few seconds in the future, most current Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) are unable to perform such medium-term forecasts, and are usually limited to high-likelihood situations such as emergency braking. In this article, we present a first step towards consistent trajectory prediction by introducing a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network, which is capable of accurately predicting future longitudinal and lateral trajectories for vehicles on highway. Unlike previous work focusing on a low number of trajectories collected from a few drivers, our network was trained and validated on the NGSIM US-101 dataset, which contains a total of 800 hours of recorded trajectories in various traffic densities, representing more than 6000 individual drivers.
Multiframe video coding for improved performance over wireless channels (2001)

We propose and evaluate a multi-frame extension to block motion compensation (BMC) coding of videoconferencing-type video signals for wireless channels. The multi-frame BMC (MF-BMC) coder makes use of the redundancy that exists across multiple frames in typical videoconferencing sequences to achieve additional compression over that obtained by using the single frame BMC (SF-BMC) approach, such as in the base-level H.263 codec. The MF-BMC approach also has an inherent ability of overcoming some transmission errors and is thus more robust when compared to the SF-BMC approach. We model the error propagation process in MF-BMC coding as a multiple Markov chain and use Markov chain analysis to infer that the use of multiple frames in motion compensation increases robustness. The Markov chain analysis is also used to devise a simple scheme which randomizes the selection of the frame (amongst the multiple previous frames) used in BMC to achieve additional robustness. The MF-BMC coders proposed are a multi-frame extension of the base level H.263 coder and are found to be more robust than the base level H.263 coder when subjected to simulated errors commonly encountered on wireless channels.
PID control using wireless measurements (2014)

This paper presents a wireless PID controller, known as PIDPlus. The same quality control as wired PID can be provided by PIDPlus using a wireless measurement, despite slower wireless measurement update and communication interruptions. The PIDPlus novel algorithm is based on a modification of the PID reset and rate calculation to account for non-periodic measurement updates. The paper presents and evaluates an alternate approach of PID control accounting for non-periodic measurements with a Kalman filter observer that has been modified for use with a wireless measurement. A second alternative shows how the Smith Predictor may be modified to work with a wireless measurement. Test results are presented that compare the PIDPlus performance to that achieved using these alternate approaches for a variety of operating conditions that may be encountered when using wireless transmitters.

Identification of marine algicidal Flavobacterium sp. 5 N-3 using multiple probes and whole-cell hybridization (2002)

We designed five 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes (Sp probes) specific for Flavobacterium sp. 5 N-3, which inhibits the growth of red tide phytoplankton Gymnodinium mikimotoi (Dinophyceae). These probes were evaluated by whole-cell hybridization against 5 N-3 cells incubated under laboratory conditions. The fluorescence signal from the cell detected with Sp probe mix5, a mixture of the five probes, was 8.4-fold higher than that obtained with only one Sp probe (Sp01RF). The signal obtained by this method was strong enough to recognize 5 N-3 cells and count them under the epifluorescence microscope, while the signal was often undetectable when a single probe was used. Fluorescence intensities of cells at stationary phases and of ‘starved’ cells in sterile seawater using Sp probe mix5 were low but still sufficient for enumeration. These Sp probes did not hybridize with 11 strains from the Cytophaga/Flavobacteria/Bacteroides phylum and did react with strain 5 N-3 following whole-cell hybridization. These results show that 5 N-3 cells cultivated under our laboratory conditions can be detected by whole-cell hybridization with the five designed probes. These data also suggest that this technique may be useful for detection of an algicidal bacterium 5 N-3 in the natural environment.

Use of a surface discharge for preionization of gases in discharge lasers (1978)

The results are reported of a comparative study of ultraviolet spectra emitted from preionization sources designed for gas-discharge lasers. A comparison is made of the emission spectra of a complete surface (guided) discharge, a free spark, and a spark in the presence of an insulator in the discharge region. It is shown that the radiation energy can be concentrated in the required wavelength range by exciting the emission lines of the insulator. The strongest concentration effect is observed for a surface discharge on insulating substrates containing silicon.

Fe-based nanocrystalline FeBCCu soft magnetic alloys with high magnetic flux density (2011)

In this study, the magnetic properties and crystalline behavior of Fe84−xB10C6Cux (x = 0–1.3) alloys prepared by annealing the melt-spun ribbon have been investigated. A Cu element was added to this system with the aim of decreasing the coercivity because the addition of Cu clusters prior to the crystallization stimulates the nucleation of α-Fe primary crystals, which greatly influences the final microstructure. It is found that in the Fe84−xB10C6Cux alloy system, the coercivity decreases with increasing x and exhibits a minimum at around x = 1.0. When x = 1.0, the alloy exhibits excellent magnetic properties after the appropriate heat treatment with a high Bs of 1.78 T, low Hc of 5.1 A/m, and low core loss less than 4.3 W/kg at 1.0 T and 400 Hz that is about 55% of that of oriented Si-steel. These results indicate that the application of this alloy to power transformers will produce very large energy savings.
Wafer-to-Wafer Bonding Techniques: From MEMS Packaging to IC Integration Applications (2006)

Device stacking and packaging on wafer-level plays a key role for the continuous miniaturization, expansion of functionality and reduction of production costs of MEMS and MCMs. The field of applications for integrated devices and MEMS is huge and the packaging requirements for the different systems are versatile. Driven by the automotive industry, extensive research and development in the field of wafer bonding resulted in a variety of different technologies. The primary targets of packaging steps are not only protecting devices from environmental influences, it is also important to compensate for stress, or to enable final testing in an efficient manner. The type of interaction of the MEMS with the environment determines the design, packaging materials and the packaging technique. Inappropriate choice of the package may result in poor reliability and narrow the spectrum of the system’s applications. Therefore it’s not surprising that packaging represents the major part of the cost of the whole MEMS device (30-50% of the costs may represent packaging; for some devices up to 80% have been reported). As several of these techniques are suitable for 3D stacking of IC chips as well, we will explain and discuss these requirements for this application, too.

Sapphire-A JavaCard VM for a 1-MB Flash Memory Smart Card (2002)

The most critical problem with JavaCards is the limited memory capacity of smart cards. Although JavaCard VM can handle multiple applications, the smaller the smart card memory, the fewer applets it can run. The Sapphire is designed to resolve this issue, providing a large flash memory capacity of 1 Mbyte.
Vol. 2, No. 4, December 2009. (2009)

This article discusses the process that debtor countries go through in the two mechanisms created to work out solutions for their huge and unpayable external debts, namely, the Paris Club and the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative. As the international lending process is structured today, it is through these mechanisms that debtor countries obtain debt forgiveness, reduction or rescheduling. The absolute control of these two mechanisms by creditor countries will be examined, together with the crucial role reserved to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as the final dispenser of the 'stamp of approval' whether debtor countries will ultimately get debt relief. Also, this article identifies the so-called 'conditionalities' that are attached to debt relief obtained through the Paris Club and HIPC Initiative. What sort of policy prescriptions, 'structural adjustments' or other domestic changes are being pushed through these mechanisms? And finally, this article examines how these conditionalities comport with the principle of economic self-determination of peoples that supposedly guarantees their right to pursue an independent process of economic development. Essentially, this article attempts to answer these questions: Are the Paris Club and HIPC mechanisms fundamentally at odds with economic self-determination? And more generally, are they respectful of the 'rule of law' in the international system?
Efficient Prognostication of Pattern Count with Different Input Compression Ratios (2020)

A novel method to efficiently and accurately prognosticate the pattern count at different input compression ratios with the Embedded Deterministic Test (EDT) compression technology is proposed. With this method the total ATPG run time can be significantly reduced compared to the currently used trial-and-error method.
Small-Incision Deep Lamellar Endothelial Keratoplasty (DLEK) (2004)

Small-incision DLEK surgery preserves the recipient corneal topography, resulting in very little change in astigmatism from preop. The excellent postoperative donor endothelial cell counts attest to the survival of donor endothelium despite folding of the graft for insertion. The small-incision DLEK technique may become the standard for endothelial replacement surgery in the future.
Dynamic load emulation for robotic hardware-in-the-loop simulation platforms (2008)

There is a growing interest in using hardware-in-the-loop simulations for test, design, and development of robot manipulators. A major challenge, however, is how to emulate the nonlinear and coupled dynamic loads on the joint hardware modules in real time. This paper details such a load emulation mechanism, and discusses its application to an industrial robot manipulator.
Nucleic Acid–Based Nanodevices in Biological Imaging (2016)

The nanoscale engineering of nucleic acids has led to exciting molecular technologies for high-end biological imaging. The predictable base pairing, high programmability, and superior new chemical and biological methods used to access nucleic acids with diverse lengths and in high purity, coupled with computational tools for their design, have allowed the creation of a stunning diversity of nucleic acid-based nanodevices. Given their biological origin, such synthetic devices have a tremendous capacity to interface with the biological world, and this capacity lies at the heart of several nucleic acid-based technologies that are finding applications in biological systems. We discuss these diverse applications and emphasize the advantage, in terms of physicochemical properties, that the nucleic acid scaffold brings to these contexts. As our ability to engineer this versatile scaffold increases, its applications in structural, cellular, and organismal biology are clearly poised to massively expand.
About Vi-Fi ("Visible - Findable") - how to describe and to search sites with standard and universal semantic-pragmatic tree (2008)

The new approach to Web search, which provides powerful narrow-focused marketing tool for small on-line businesses as well as for everybody, who want to increase his visibility in Web, is proposed. The core of approach is observable (small enough - of the order of tens) standard universal system of both attributes and their values, which describes requests of WEB-users and content (offers) of sites in the same language and allow to calculate easily congruency between query and site. This system is based on pragmatics (logic of customer's request) rather than on usual ("pure") ontology and is organized as tree. Both web-masters and searchers browse this tree to describe their sites and queries respectively. The tree changes until take its ultimate form as approach is realized.
Using Spreading Activation to Evaluate and Improve Ontologies (2014)

In this paper, we explore the relationship between the human-encoded semantics of ontologies and their application to natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as word-sense disambiguation (WSD), for which such ontologies may not have been originally designed. We present a method for assessing the semantic content of an ontology with respect to a target domain, by spreading activation over a graph that represents instances of ontology concepts and relationships, in domain text. Our proposed method has several advantages beyond existing ontology metrics. By identifying bias or imbalance in the ontology, we can suggest target areas for improvement, and simultaneously facilitate the automated optimisation of the graph for use in the chosen NLP task. On applying this method to the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) ontology, we significantly outperformed existing graph-based methods for WSD in biomedical NLP (0.82 accuracy). The subsequent introduction of a fall-back mechanism, using word-sense probability, achieved state of the art for unsupervised biomedical WSD (0.89 accuracy).
Imbalanced Lignin Biosynthesis Promotes the Sexual Reproduction of Homothallic Oomycete Pathogens (2009)

Lignin is incorporated into plant cell walls to maintain plant architecture and to ensure long-distance water transport. Lignin composition affects the industrial value of plant material for forage, wood and paper production, and biofuel technologies. Industrial demands have resulted in an increase in the use of genetic engineering to modify lignified plant cell wall composition. However, the interaction of the resulting plants with the environment must be analyzed carefully to ensure that there are no undesirable side effects of lignin modification. We show here that Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with impaired 5-hydroxyguaiacyl O-methyltransferase (known as caffeate O-methyltransferase; COMT) function were more susceptible to various bacterial and fungal pathogens. Unexpectedly, asexual sporulation of the downy mildew pathogen, Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis, was impaired on these mutants. Enhanced resistance to downy mildew was not correlated with increased plant defense responses in comt1 mutants but coincided with a higher frequency of oomycete sexual reproduction within mutant tissues. Comt1 mutants but not wild-type Arabidopsis accumulated soluble 2-O-5-hydroxyferuloyl-L-malate. The compound weakened mycelium vigor and promoted sexual oomycete reproduction when applied to a homothallic oomycete in vitro. These findings suggested that the accumulation of 2-O-5-hydroxyferuloyl-L-malate accounted for the observed comt1 mutant phenotypes during the interaction with H. arabidopsidis. Taken together, our study shows that an artificial downregulation of COMT can drastically alter the interaction of a plant with the biotic environment.
Photonic space-division switching system utilising coherent optical transmission technologies (1988)

Integration of photonic switching and coherent transmission was studied. A photonic space-division (SD) switching system with a line capacity exceeding 500 is expected, taking advantage of the receiver sensitivity improvement and crosstalk rejection capability of coherent optical detection. SD switching experiments in a 100 Mbit/s optical FSK. transmission system were carried out with a LiNbO3 photonic switch matrix. The crosstalk component was shown to be rejected by introducing channel separation greater than 3 GHz.
Induction of avian cardiac myogenesis by anterior endoderm (1995)

An experimental system was devised to study the mechanisms by which cells become committed to the cardiac myocyte lineage during avian development. Chick tissues from outside the fate map of the heart (in the posterior primitive streak (PPS) of a Hamburger & Hamilton stage 4 embryo) were combined with potential inducing tissues from quail embryos and cultured in vitro. Species-specific RT-PCR was employed to detect the appearance of the cardiac muscle markers chick Nkx-2.5 (cNkx-2.5), cardiac troponin C and ventricular myosin heavy chain in the chick responder tissues. Using this procedure, we found that stage 4-5 anterior lateral (AL) endoderm and anterior central (AC) mesendoderm, but not AL mesoderm or posterior lateral mesendoderm, induced cells of the PPS to differentiate as cardiac myocytes. Induction of cardiogenesis was accompanied by a marked decrease in the expression of rho-globin, implying that PPS cells were being induced by anterior endoderm to become cardiac myocytes instead of blood-forming tissue. These results suggest that anterior endoderm contains signaling molecules that can induce cardiac myocyte specification of early primitive streak cells. One of the cardiac muscle markers induced by anterior endoderm, cNkx-2.5, is here described for the first time. cNkx-2.5 is a chick homeobox-containing gene that shares extensive sequence similarity with the Drosophila gene tinman, which is required for Drosophila heart formation. The mesodermal component of cNkx-2.5 expression from stage 5 onward, as determined by in situ hybridization, is strikingly in accord with the fate map of the avian heart. By the time the myocardium and endocardium form distinct layers, cNkx-2.5 is found only in the myocardium. cNkx-2.5 thus appears to be the earliest described marker of avian mesoderm fated to give rise to cardiac muscle.
