Real-time collision avoidance with whole body motion control for humanoid robots (2007)

We propose a self collision avoidance system that superposes trajectories in order not only to protect the robot's hardware but also to enable continuous motions. The system runs in real-time so that the robot can work in an uncertain environment. It is based on virtual forces between close segments of the robot. The avoidance movements are blended with a whole body motion control in order to change the priority between target reaching and collision avoidance. The blending is performed autonomously without the necessity of external switching. Our method works both while the robot is standing and walking. Reaching motions from the front to the side of the body without the arm colliding with the body are possible. Even if the target is inside the body, the arm stops at the closest point to the target outside of the body. Our method can be used for other applications: We apply it to realizing a "body schema" and for "occlusion avoidance."

Improving Daily Routine Recognition in Hearing Aids Using Sequence Learning (2021)

This work focuses on sequence learning to improve the daily routine recognition in hearing aids (HA), where the goal is to personalize the device configuration for each user. We apply the sequence methods on two large real-world data sets. One publicly available set contains the acceleration (ACC) data of one person, Huynh, over seven working days, whereas our set includes the real life of seven subjects over 104 days with ACC and audio data of a HA. For both sets, we design statistical features to represent the recurring routine behavior well. In our comprehensive simulations, we analyze several sequence classifiers learning the temporal relationships of high-level activities. The multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and random forest (RF) as an observation model for the hidden Markov model (HMM) show the best F-measure performance of 85.3% and 91.6% on our set and the Huynh set, respectively. In particular, the MLP-HMM combination strongly improves on both sets compared to the non-sequence classifier MLP by 6.7% and 10.2%. Within the segment error analysis, we show that the sequence classifiers improve the temporal prediction stability by a reduction of insertion errors. Thus, the improved sequence classification helps the user to better address his condition due to preferred HA settings.
Zone-Doubling Technique to Produce Ultrahigh-Resolution X-Ray Optics (2007)

A method for the fabrication of ultrahigh-resolution Fresnel zone plate lenses for x-ray microscopy is demonstrated. It is based on the deposition of a zone plate material (Ir) onto the sidewalls of a prepatterned template structure (Si) using an atomic layer deposition technique. This results in a doubling of the effective zone density, thus improving the achievable resolution of x-ray microscopes. Test structures with lines and spaces down to 15 nm were resolved in a scanning transmission x-ray microscope at 1 keV photon energy.

PTEN Loss with ERG Negative Status is Associated with Lethal Disease after Radical Prostatectomy (2019)

<i>PTEN</i> loss is associated with an increased risk of lethal prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy and this risk is most pronounced in the subgroup of patients with <i>ERG</i> negative tumors. This work corroborates the use of <i>PTEN</i> and <i>ERG</i> status for risk stratification in surgically treated patients.
Field demonstration of X-band photonic antenna remoting in the Deep Space Network (1994)

We designed a photonic link for antenna remoting based on our integrated system analysis. With this 12-km link, we successfully demonstrated photonic antenna-remoting capability at X-band (8.4 GHz) at one of NASA's Deep Space Stations while tracking the Magellan spacecraft.
Skew light propagation in optically thick optical pumping cells (2002)

Circularly polarized light propagating at an angle to the external magnetic field does not optically pump atoms to full transparency under conditions common to spin-exchange optical pumping experiments. This causes excess absorption of the pumping light that can significantly reduce the efficiency of the optical pumping process even for angles of a few degrees.
Cell Surfaces in Plant-Microorganism Interactions (1979)

Enrichment of the cell wall in hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein is involved in the defense of muskmelon (Cucumis melo) seedlings to Colletotrichum lagenarium, the causative agent of anthracnose. The extent to which this accumulation proceeds may be experimentally modified by treating plants with ethylene or growing them in the presence of free l-trans-hydroxyproline. It appears that the increase in the wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein mediated through ethylene is paralleled by an increasing resistance of the host to the pathogen. Inversely, inhibiting the synthesis of this glycoprotein in diseased plants is strictly correlated to an accelerated and more intense colonization of the host by the pathogen.In both cases, the inverse relationship between the accumulation of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins and the ability of the pathogen to develop in the host has been checked by the quantification, in infected tissues, of glucosamine, a characteristic component of chitin-containing fungi.
Diagnostic efficacy in knee MRI comparing conventional technique and multiplanar reconstruction with one-millimeter FSE PDW images (2007)

1-mm-slice-thickness FSE PDW imaging with MPR showed comparable performance in diagnosing tears of the cruciate ligaments and menisci to conventional sequences but the scan time was much shorter. Therefore, this technique (method B) might improve the throughput of a 3T MR imaging system.
Interreader Variability of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System Version 2 in Detecting and Assessing Prostate Cancer Lesions at Prostate MRI (2019)

<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this study was to evaluate agreement among radiologists in detecting and assessing prostate cancer at multiparametric MRI using Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2). <b>MATERIALS AND METHODS.</b> Treatment-naïve patients underwent 3-T multipara-metric MRI between April 2012 and June 2015. Among the 163 patients evaluated, 110 underwent prostatectomy after MRI and 53 had normal MRI findings and transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy results. Nine radiologists participated (three each with high, intermediate, and low levels of experience). Readers interpreted images of 58 patients on average (range, 56-60) using PI-RADSv2. Prostatectomy specimens registered to MRI were ground truth. Interob-server agreement was evaluated with the index of specific agreement for lesion detection and kappa and proportion of agreement for PI-RADS category assignment. <b>RESULTS.</b> The radiologists detected 336 lesions. Sensitivity for index lesions was 80.9% (95% CI, 75.1-85.9%), comparable across reader experience (<i>p</i> = 0.392). Patient-level specificity was experience dependent; highly experienced readers had 84.0% specificity versus 55.2% for all others (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Interobserver agreement was excellent for detecting index lesions (index of specific agreement, 0.871; 95% CI, 0.798-0.923). Agreement on PI-RADSv2 category assignment of index lesions was moderate (κ = 0.419; 95% CI, 0.238-0.595). For individual category assignments, proportion of agreement was slight for PI-RADS category 3 (0.208; 95% CI, 0.086-0.284) but substantial for PI-RADS category 4 (0.674; 95% CI, 0.540-0.776). However, proportion of agreement for T2-weighted PI-RADS 4 in the transition zone was 0.250 (95% CI, 0.108-0.372). Proportion of agreement for category assignment of index lesions on dynamic contrast-enhanced MR images was 0.822 (95% CI, 0.728-0.903), on T2-weighted MR images was 0.515 (95% CI, 0.430-0623), and on DW images was 0.586 (95% CI, 0.495-0.682). Proportion of agreement for dominant lesion was excellent (0.828; 95% CI, 0.742-0.913). <b>CONCLUSION.</b> Radiologists across experience levels had excellent agreement for detecting index lesions and moderate agreement for category assignment of lesions using PI-RADS. Future iterations of PI-RADS should clarify PI-RADS 3 and PI-RADS 4 in the transition zone.
Label Visualization and Exploration in IR (2016)

There is a renaissance in visual analytics systems for data analysis and sharing, in particular, in the current wave of big data applications. We introduce RAVE, a prototype that automates the generation of an interface that uses facets and visualization techniques for exploring and analyzing relevance assessments data sets collected via crowdsourcing. We present a technical description of the main components and demonstrate its use.
A 4×112 Gb/s ADC-DSP Based Multistandard Receiver in 7nm FinFET (2020)

This paper describes a 4 × 112 Gb/s digital receiver targeting Long Reach (LR) channels. The discrete time front-end overcomes gain-BW limitations to provide 10+dB gain at 28GHz. A 56GS/s ADC then converts the signal to 6-b digital consuming only 195mW. The following DFE-FFE based digital equalizer is capable of compensating 36 dB loss achieving BER of 2e-5. Furthermore, TDC and ISI filter based low latency timing recovery meets jitter tolerance specs over a wide range of data rates (25Gb/s NRZ to 106.25Gb/s PAM-4). The overall receiver consumes 338mW with 3.18pJ/bit energy efficiency

Analysis of throughput for multilayer infrared meanderline waveplates (2010)

A meanderline wave retarder is a unique type of frequency-selective-surface (FSS) that enables a change in the state of optical polarization. The principles of operation are very similar to a typical crystalline waveplate, such that the artificially structured meanderline array has both 'slow' and 'fast' axes that provide a phase offset between two orthogonal wave components. In this paper, we study the behavior and response of multilayered meanderline quarter-wave retarders designed for operation at 10.6 mum wavelength (28.28 THz). It will be shown that meanderline quarter-wave plates with more than a single layer exhibit improved transmission throughput at infrared frequencies due to impedance matching, similar to a multilayer optical film coating. Numerical data, both from simulations and measurements, are presented to validate this claim.
Monomeric and dimeric forms of soluble receptors can differ in their neutralization potential. (1995)

Recombinant soluble forms of transmembrane receptors can be produced in monomeric and dimeric versions. Binding affinity and neutralization potential of these different forms of soluble receptors depend on the quaternary structure of their ligands. Monomeric ligands will be bound with equal affinity by both forms, whereas trimeric ligands, e.g. members of the tumor necrosis factor family of ligands, interact with much higher affinity with dimeric soluble receptors than with monomeric ones.
Possible association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attempted suicide in adolescents – A pilot study (2009)

These preliminary results suggest a significant association between ADHD and suicidal behavior in adolescents. Further study is needed to establish this association and assess the causality.
An Automated Continuous-Flow Platform for the Estimation of Multistep Reaction Kinetics (2012)

Automated continuous flow systems coupled with online analysis and feedback have been previously demonstrated to model and optimize chemical syntheses with little a priori reaction information. However, these methods have yet to address the challenge of modeling and optimizing for product yield or selectivity in a multistep reaction network, where low selectivity toward desired product formation can be encountered. Here we demonstrate an automated system capable of rapidly estimating accurate kinetic parameters for a given reaction network using maximum likelihood estimation and a D-optimal design of experiments. The network studied is the series–parallel nucleophilic aromatic substitution of morpholine onto 2,4-dichloropyrimidine. To improve the precision of the estimated parameters, we demonstrate the use of the automated platform first in optimization of the yield of the less kinetically favorable 2-substituted product. Then, upon isolation of the intermediates, we use the automated system with maximum a posteriori estimation to minimize uncertainties in the network parameters. From considering the steps of the reaction network in isolation, the kinetic parameter uncertainties are reduced by 50%, with less than 5 g of the dichloropyrimidine substrate consumed over all experiments. We conclude that isolating pathways in the multistep reaction network is important to minimizing uncertainty for low sensitivity rate parameters.
Comprehensive Gene Expression Analysis Detects Global Reduction of Proteasome Subunits in Schizophrenia (2020)

We detected global down-regulation of proteasome subunits in a subgroup of patients with schizophrenia. We hypothesize that the down-regulation of proteasome subunits leads to proteasome dysfunction that causes accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, which has been recently detected in a subgroup of schizophrenia patients. Thus, down-regulation of proteasome subunits might define a biological subtype of schizophrenia.
Analysis of the impact of phase- and amplitude distortions on the beam accuracy of active antenna arrays for mobile communication (2010)

In this paper a statistical analysis of the impact of phase- and amplitude-distortions on the performance of active antenna arrays for mobile communication base stations is presented. The cause and influence of different contributors to these distortions is described and the allowable phase- and amplitude-margins that need to be reached for mobile communication base station applications are derived. Finally a test setup of a distributed active antenna is implemented and it is shown, that the required accuracy can be achieved with standard RF-circuit design and components.
Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Thermal Deformation in Thermoelectric Coolers (2011)

In this paper, the electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) and the finite element method (FEM) were used to obtain the thermal deformation induced in a centrally supported thermoelectric cooler (TEC). The results of ESPI and FEM are in good agreement and show that the warpage varies linearly with respect to the temperature difference between the two ceramic plates inside the TEC.

PLASMA-JET COATING OF TUNGSTEN ON STEEL (1962)

Three methods for bonding plasma-jet sprayed tungsten to steel were developed and evaluated in an approach to the problem of providing , ' 1 1 ; .V \ heat-resistant materials for the design and fabrication of components for high temperature applications,.• Three types of coatings were sprayed by plasma-jet on 1020 steel substrates: (1) an all tungsten coating, (2) a coating graded from 1020 steel at the interface to tungsten at the outer surface, and (3) a coating graded from iron at the interface to tungsten at the outer surface.By the latter two coating methods, a less severe thermal expansion gradient was developed between the substrate and the coating.Pre-heading the substrates increased the fusion bond at the interface.Post-heat treatments eliminated residual Stresses within the coating and promoted grain growth and diffusion across the fusion zone.The tungsten-iron graded coating on the 1020 steel substrate displayed excellent resistance to shock and withstood high temperature corrosion conditions 2 1/2 times longer than uncoated substrates.The investigation emphasized the potential of the plasma-jet gun in providing a means for depositing a protective coating on a metallic substrate.
Association of Urinary MyProstateScore, Age, and Prostate Volume in a Longitudinal Cohort of Healthy Men: Long-term Findings from the Olmsted County Study (2021)

In a group of men with no evidence of prostate cancer, we found that each of three urine-based markers of cancer-PCA3, T2:ERG, and the commercially available MyProstateScore test-showed less variability with noncancer factors (age and prostate volume) than serum PSA (prostate-specific antigen) did. These findings support their proposed use as noninvasive markers of prostate cancer that could improve the accuracy of early detection.
USING SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS TO UNDERSTAND THE MADE SURFACES WITH PROTEINS AND CELLS INTERACTIONS OF MAN- (1996)

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed on the adsorption of longchain alkanethiols to the surface of gold or alkylsilanes to hydroxylated surfaces are well-ordered organic surfaces that permit control over the properties of the interface at the molecular scale. The abililty to present molecules, peptides, and proteins at the interface make SAMs especially useful for fundamental studies of protein adsorption and cell adhesion. Microcontact printing is a simple technique that can pattern the formation of SAMs in the plane of the monolayer with dimensions on the micron scale. The convenience and broad application offered by SAMs and microcontact printing make this combination of techniques useful for studying a variety of fundamental phenomena in biointerfacial science.
Outage times in fault-tolerant systems (2003)

The author gives sample field outage-time data sets from two fault-tolerant systems and discusses their statistical analysis. He uses probability plots to choose a distributional model for the data and observes that the commonly used exponential model does not fit the data. Instead a distribution is required that has a heavier tail, i.e., more variability and more long outages. A lognormal model is fitted to the data. These fits can then be used in discrete-event simulations or other analytic modeling of system availability.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Enhancement of toxicity of antitransferrin receptor antibody-Pseudomonas exotoxin conjugates by adenovirus. (1983)

Cytotoxic conjugates were constructed by chemically coupling Pseudomonas exotoxin to antitransferrin receptor antibodies. Toxicity of these conjugates, due to entry via the transferrin receptor, was enhanced 100- to 300-fold in the presence of adenovirus. By electron microscopy and immunofluorescence it was determined that antitransferrin receptor antibodies and the conjugates derived from them entered cells from coated pits into receptosomes. We believe that the enhanced toxicity resulted when adenovirus and the toxin conjugates were internalized into the same receptosomes. In the process of infection, adenovirus enters cells and brings about a virus-mediated disruption of receptosomes; and this disruption can liberate many more toxin molecules into the cytosol than is possible in the absence of virus.

Establishment of human double-positive thymocyte clones. (1989)

Human thymocytes were sorted according to the expression of CD4 and CD8 molecules and clones representing the four subpopulations (DP, DN, and single CD4 or CD8 positive) were established. DP clones can be maintained for long periods in tissue culture and give rise to a variable percentage of SP variants. These variants, when isolated and further expanded, do not revert to a DP phenotype. DP clones express a functional TCR-CD3 complex, suggesting that this molecule can interact with the thymic microenvironment during T cell differentiation.
Zfp281 mediates Nanog autorepression through recruitment of the NuRD complex and inhibits somatic cell reprogramming (2012)

The homeodomain transcription factor Nanog plays an important role in embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and is essential for acquiring ground-state pluripotency during reprogramming. Understanding how Nanog is transcriptionally regulated is important for further dissecting mechanisms of ESC pluripotency and somatic cell reprogramming. Here, we report that Nanog is subjected to a negative autoregulatory mechanism, i.e., autorepression, in ESCs, and that such autorepression requires the coordinated action of the Nanog partner and transcriptional repressor Zfp281. Mechanistically, Zfp281 recruits the NuRD repressor complex onto the Nanog locus and maintains its integrity to mediate Nanog autorepression and, functionally, Zfp281-mediated Nanog autorepression presents a roadblock to efficient somatic cell reprogramming. Our results identify a unique transcriptional regulatory mode of Nanog gene expression and shed light into the mechanistic understanding of Nanog function in pluripotency and reprogramming.
