Sound Source Seperation with Distributed Microphone Arrays in the Presence of Clocks Synchronization Errors (2008)

We first present our studies on how clock synchronization errors affect the performance of sound source separation with a distributed microphone array. We show that our previously proposed energy-based sound source separation method is robust to constant clock shift errors but is more sensitive to clock drift errors. We then propose a novel technique to address the clock drift errors. The key observation is that as the amount of clock drift increases, so does the correlation between the energies of the separated sources which are obtained from the Independent Component Analysis (ICA). Based on this observation, we propose an optimization technique to solve the clock drifting parameter. Experiment results are shown to validate our approach.
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor-1 Is a Valuable Marker for the Prediction of Deep Venous Thrombosis and Tumor Metastasis in Patients with Lung Cancer (2017)

Activation of blood coagulation contributes to cancer progression. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1 (TFPI-1) is the main inhibitor of extrinsic coagulation pathway. The aim of this study is to assess the predicting significance of TFPI-1 for thrombotic complication and metastasis in lung cancer patients. Total of 188 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were included in this study. Plasma TFPI-1, D-dimer (D-D), antithrombin (AT), Fibrinogen (Fbg), and coagulating factor VIII activity (FVIII:C) were measured. In NSCLC patients, significantly decreased TFPI-1 and AT and increased D-D, Fbg, and FVIII:C levels were observed, and there was a significant correlation between TFPI-1 and other hemostatic parameters (<i>P</i> < 0.001, resp.). NSCLC patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or metastasis had significantly lower TFPI-1 levels than those without DVT or metastasis (<i>P</i> < 0.01, resp.). Multivariate regression revealed that TFPI-1 acted as a predictor for DVT or tumor metastasis in NSCLC patients [OR: 4.15 or 3.28, <i>P</i> < 0.05, resp.]. The area under ROC curve of TFPI-1 was 0.905 (95% CI, 0.842~0.967) or 0.828 (95% CI, 0.742~0.915) for predicting DVT or metastasis (<i>P</i> < 0.001, resp.). The optimal point of TFPI-1 was 57.7 or 54.3 ng/mL for predicting DVT or metastasis, respectively. Combination of TFPI-1 and D-D measurements can improve the predicting power for DVT or metastasis in NSCLC patients. Our findings suggested that TFPI-1 was a valuable predictor of DVT and tumor metastasis in NSCLC patients.

Surge Potentials on Underground Cable Sheath and Joint Insulation (1963)

Insulating sheath coatings and sheath-joint insulators have been punctured in service, apparently by transient voltages. It has been shown that the discontinuities caused by sheath cross-bonding result in 15% of an applied surge on a conductor, appearing on the sheath at a joint and 30% across the sheath insulator. Bonding transformers result in higher transients. Protective devices appear to be required at each joint. These may be lightning arresters or surge capacitors.

BE VISION, A Package of IBM 7090 FORTRAN Programs to Draw Orthographic Views of Combinations of Plane and Quadric Surfaces (1966)

BE VISION is a package of FORTRAN programs for drawing orthographic views of combinations of plane and quadric surfaces. As input, the package takes rectangular coordinate equations specifying the surfaces plus a three-angle specification of the viewing direction. Output is a drawing on the Stromberg Carlson 4020 Microfilm Recorder. Many views of one scene may be obtained simply by changing the viewpoint. The various subroutines of the package and their functions are described in this paper. It also gives numerous examples of pictures that were produced by BE VISION. The package has been in use since April 1964.
Dynamic reconfiguration to support concurrent applications (1999)

This paper describes the development of a dynamically reconfigurable system that can support multiple applications running concurrently. A dynamically reconfigurable system allows hardware reconfiguration while part of the reconfigurable hardware is busy computing. An FPGA resource manager (RM) is developed to allocate and de-allocate FPGA resources and to preload FPGA configuration files. For each individual application, different tasks that require FPGA resources are represented as a flow graph which is made available to the RM so as to enable efficient resource management and preloading. The performance of using the RM to support several applications is summarized. The impact of supporting concurrency and preloading in reducing application execution time is demonstrated.
An accelerated remote graphics architecture for PDAS (2003)

A new category of devices, known as Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), has become increasingly widespread since the end of the nineties. A large number of software applications have been developed for PDAs, but high-quality 3D graphics still remain beyond the computational capability of these devices.This paper tackles this issue by proposing a generic solution for hardware-accelerated remote rendering on cluster. The rendering task is submitted to a PC/workstation cluster (each cluster machine is equipped by a graphics accelerator) by means of the Chromium architecture. Each machine renders a part of the image that is then reassembled and sent to the PDA via a software bridge. On the PDA side, the user can explore the scene using an ad-hoc navigation interface.The proposed solution allows to display extremely realistic and complex models in an interactive way. Moreover, our architecture does not depend on commercial solutions/products and can be easily modified in order to better fulfill requirements of specific applications.Computer GraphicsDistributed/network graphics Distributed SystemsDistributed applications
Differential counting of blood leukocytes using automated microscopy and a decision support system based on artificial neural networks - evaluation of DiffMaster<sup>TM</sup> Octavia (2003)

The morphological appearance of blood cells has an established association to clinical conditions. A novel system, DiffMaster Octavia for differential counting of blood leukocytes, has been evaluated. The system consisted of a microscope, 3-chip color charge coupled device (CCD) camera, automated motorized stage holder, electronic hardware for motor and light control and software for automatic cell location and image processing for preclassification of blood cells using artificial neural networks. The DiffMaster test method, was evaluated on 322 routine blood samples (400 cells per sample) using manual microscopy as reference method. The results showed a correlation of determination (r(2)) of 0.8-0.98 for the normal cell classes and blast cells. The DiffMaster correctly preclassified 89% of all leukocytes with a good reproducibility. After verification of the cell classes, the agreement between the test and reference method was 91% whether the sample was abnormal or normal. The clinical sensitivity was 98% and specificity 82%. The sensitivity to identify blast cells was slightly higher with the DiffMaster than manual microscopy. Similar levels of short-term imprecision for the two methods were found for all cell classes. In conclusion this study shows that the DiffMaster can provide a decision support system which, together with a qualified morphologist, can generate leukocyte differential count reports of high quality.
WLAN-WCDMA dual-mode receiver architecture design trade-offs (2004)

This work discusses receiver architecture trade-offs for a combined 802.11a and WCDMA front-end aiming for a high level of integration. Trade-off parameters such as ADC-bandwidth, image rejection, DC-offset rejection, channel-select filter-requirements and 1/f-noise tolerance are considered. In particular, the possibility of using a simple high-pass filter for DC-offset rejection and the SNR-degradation caused by ISI in such a filter are investigated. The conclusion is that a combined low-IF and direct conversion architecture implemented in the same hardware is possible and preferable.
Direction of Arrival Estimation and Localization of Multiple Speech Sources in Enclosed Environments (2012)

Speech communication is gaining in popularity in many different contexts as technology evolves. With the introduction of mobile electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops, and fixed electronic devices such as video and teleconferencing systems, more people are communicating which leads to an increasing demand for new services and better speech quality. Methods to enhance speech recorded by microphones often operate blindly without prior knowledge of the signals. With the addition of multiple microphones to allow for spatial filtering, many blind speech enhancement methods have to operate blindly also in the spatial domain. When attempting to improve the quality of spoken communication it is often necessary to be able to reliably determine the location of the speakers. A dedicated source localization method on top of the speech enhancement methods can assist the speech enhancement method by providing the spatial information about the sources. This thesis addresses the problem of speech-source localization, with a focus on the problem of localization in the presence of multiple concurrent speech sources. The primary work consists of methods to estimate the direction of arrival of multiple concurrent speech sources from an array of sensors and a method to correct the ambiguities when estimating the spatial locations of multiple speech sources from multiple arrays of sensors. The thesis also improves the well-known SRP-based methods with higher-order statistics, and presents an analysis of how the SRP-PHAT performs when the sensor array geometry is not fully calibrated. The thesis is concluded by two envelope-domain-based methods for tonal pattern detection and tonal disturbance detection and cancelation which can be useful to further increase the usability of the proposed localization methods. The main contribution of the thesis is a complete methodology to spatially locate multiple speech sources in enclosed environments. New methods and improvements to the combined solution are presented for the direction-of-arrival estimation, the location estimation and the location ambiguity correction, as well as a sensor array calibration sensitivity analysis.
Decision Support Computer Program for Cancer Pain Management (2003)

The purpose of the study was to develop an initial version of computer software that could assist nurses' decision making about cancer pain reported by women from diverse cultural groups. This cross-sectional study included two phases: (1) data collection and (2) development of computer software. Data were collected using an Internet survey and e-mail group discussions of 19 faculty members from 10 countries who were self-identified experts in oncology nursing. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings indicated ethnic, gender, geographic, and age differences in cancer pain descriptions. Based on the collected data, a decision support computer program for cancer pain management, including (1) a knowledge base generation module, (2) a decision-making module, and (3) a self-adaptation module, was developed. Based on the study findings, suggestions for future research and practice related to cancer pain and expert systems were proposed.

Design of power line carrier systems on multitransposed delta transmission lines (1991)

It is shown that some of the most widely accepted coupling recommendations for power line carrier (PLC) systems do not prevent modal cancellation. It is also shown that computer system programs for calculating line frequency response may fail to detect model cancellation conditions. A method of PLC system design for multitransposed horizontal and delta transmission lines is proposed. It is based in W.H. Senn's technique (1976) for calculating PLC frequency responses and allows for the consideration of line data uncertainties and line parameter variations. A technique which makes use of shunt capacitors connected to a few points along the line is also discussed. The risk of modal cancellation is decreased and, in some cases, it can be eliminated.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Creating the architecture of a manufacturing framework by design patterns (1995)

The class and interaction structure of object-oriented designs may become fairly complex, and consequently difficult to develop and understand. Design patterns allow to govern this complexity. This paper presents the design process of a domain-specific black-box framework for the control of automated manufacturing systems. The design is performed as a sequence of transformation steps, guided by the use of generative design patterns. Starting out from a domain-specific model. which does not provide a degree of reusability sufficiently high for a framework. the transformation steps increase the reusability until a satisfactory degree is reached. The resulting class and interaction structure allows to create each application of the considered manufacturing subdomain by selecting, configuring and parameterizing of the framework classes.
Development of Rapid Cell Recovery System Using Temperature-Responsive Nanofiber Surfaces (2007)

PHBV ultrafine fibers were fabricated by electrospinning process. Electrospun PHBV fiber structures revealed randomly aligned fibers with average diameter of 400 nm. PIPAAm was grafted on the surface of PHBV nanofibrous mat by electron beam irradiation. PIPAAm-grafted PHBV mats were determined by ATR-FTIR and ESCA. Water contact angles were determined by a sessile drop method at 20 and 37. To examine the tissue compatibility, human fibroblasts were evenly seeded onto PIPAAm-grafted PHBV mat and cast film, ungrafted PHBV mat and film. Attached and spread fibroblasts on nanofibrous mat were proliferated more rapidly than that of flat film surface. Initial cell attachment on PIPAAm-grafted surfaces was higher than ungrafted surfaces. The surface property changed to hydrophilic by PIPAAm graft, which increased initial cell attachment. Detachment of single cells from PIPAAm-grafted PHBV matrixes was measured by low temperature treatment after incubation at 37. Cultured cells were rapidly detached from PIPAAm-grafted PHBV mat compared with film. With porous mats, the water molecules easily reach to grafted PIPAAm from underneath and peripheral to the attached cells, resulting in rapid hydration of grafted PIPAAm molecules and detachment of the cells.
Persons and artificial intelligence (1991)

This dissertation seeks to answer the question: Can a computer be a person? In the first part, the muddle of claims and counterclaims surrounding Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) are examined. This work takes the position that there is a radical difference between persons and machines, and that this difference holds no matter what form machines may take, now or in the future. At the same time, the inability of the dominant views, grounded in materialism, to come to grips with the question, will be criticized.
The inadequacy of arguments proposed by those on both sides of the question is explained through an examination of the materialistic presuppositions both groups begin with. On the one hand, the advocates of A.I. claim that their computer models provide both necessary and sufficient conditions for mind, but there is much they cannot account for. On the other hand, those who argue against A.I. are able to point out those aspects of mental life that the machine models don't cover, but they do not explain why. A.I. advocates deny well-known features of persons because there is no way of accounting for such phenomena within a materialistic context. A.I. antagonists argue from these known features of persons, but because they, for the most part, also accept materialism, they are unable to provide a convincing explanation of these phenomena.
The second part of the work attempts to show that the understanding of symbols or signs is not just another way of using marks. It rests with the having of them as symbols or signs. This cannot occur on a material level. Where there are only coordinate bodies there can only be alongsidedness, in which case something may make a difference to something else, but could never be possessed; be something for that thing. In a world which is exhaustively public there are only physical occurrences and reactions to these; responding to a symbol requires a sustaining by that which is privately grounded.
