Room layout estimation on mobile devices (2018)

Room layout generation is the problem of generating a drawing or a digital model of an existing room from a set of measurements such as laser data or images. The generation of floor plans can find application in the building industry to assess the quality and the correctness of an ongoing construction w.r.t. the initial model, or to quickly sketch the renovation of an apartment. Real estate industry can rely on automatic generation of floor plans to ease the process of checking the livable surface and to propose virtual visits to prospective customers. As for the general public, the room layout can be integrated into mixed reality games to provide a better immersiveness experience, or used in other related augmented reality applications such room redecoration. The goal of this industrial thesis (CIFRE) is to investigate and take advantage of the state-of-the art mobile devices in order to automate the process of generating room layouts. Nowadays, modern mobile devices usually come a wide range of sensors, such as inertial motion unit (IMU), RGB cameras and, more recently, depth cameras. Moreover, tactile touchscreens offer a natural and simple way to interact with the user, thus favoring the development of interactive applications, in which the user can be part of the processing loop. This work aims at exploiting the richness of such devices to address the room layout generation problem. The thesis has three major contributions. We first show how the classic problem of detecting vanishing points in an image can benefit from an a-priori given by the IMU sensor. We propose a simple and effective algorithm for detecting vanishing points relying on the gravity vector estimated by the IMU. A new public dataset containing images and the relevant IMU data is introduced to help assessing vanishing point algorithms and foster further studies in the field. As a second contribution, we explored the state of-the-art of real-time localization and map optimization algorithms for RGB-D sensors. Real-time localization is a fundamental task to enable augmented reality applications, and thus it is a critical component when designing interactive applications. We propose an evaluation of existing algorithms for the common desktop set-up in order to be employed on a mobile device. For each considered method, we assess the accuracy of the localization as well as the computational performances when ported on a mobile device. Finally, we present a proof of concept of application able to generate the room layout relying on a Project Tango tablet equipped with an RGB-D sensor. In particular, we propose an algorithm that incrementally processes and fuses the 3D data provided by the sensor in order to obtain the layout of the room. We show how our algorithm can rely on the user interactions in order to correct the generated 3D model during the acquisition process.

Lithium-water power source for low power-long duration undersea applications (2002)

Battery requirements for deep-ocean operation in areas of low dissolved oxygen were set at 2 watts (for a minimum of one year) at an operating voltage of at least 0.75 volts. The maximum battery system weight was not to exceed 50 lbs. The ability of the lithium-water electrochemical couple to satisfy these requirements has been demonstrated. Short-term high-pressure testing defined performance up to 10000 psi. Stable multiweek performance was demonstrated at ambient pressure. Specific energy based on lithium ranged from 1800 to 2400 Wh/kg, sufficiently high to achieve the system weight goal of 50 lbs. A proprietary electrolyte management scheme was developed to admit the proper flow of water into the battery while retaining the electrolyte alkalinity required to control the reactivity of the lithium. The scheme was demonstrated over a six month test period. The lithium-water electrochemistry, integrated system concept, test results, and the design configurations chosen for ocean deployment are described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Recognition of Conformational Changes in β-Lactoglobulin by Molecularly Imprinted Thin Films (2007)

Pathogenesis in protein conformational diseases is initiated by changes in protein secondary structure. This molecular restructuring presents an opportunity for novel shape-based detection approaches, as protein molecular weight and chemistry are otherwise unaltered. Here we apply molecular imprinting to discriminate between distinct conformations of the model protein beta-lactoglobulin (BLG). Thermal- and fluoro-alcohol-induced BLG isoforms were imprinted in thin films of 3-aminophenylboronic acid on quartz crystal microbalance chips. Enhanced rebinding of the template isoform was observed in all cases when compared to the binding of nontemplate isoforms over the concentration range of 1-100 microg mL(-1). Furthermore, it was observed that the greater the changes in the secondary structure of the template protein the lower the binding of native BLG challenges to the imprint, suggesting a strong steric influence in the recognition system. This feasibility study is a first demonstration of molecular imprints for recognition of distinct conformations of the same protein.
<title>Roller chain supports for large optics</title> (1991)

Henry Draper described the use of flexible bands to minimize optical surface deflection of mirrors mounted in the optical axis horizontal position in 1864. Despite this historical background the theoretical basis for horizontal band support was not developed until quite recently. Use of finite element analysis has led to a better understanding of the performance of horizontal band supports. Analytical modeling of horizontal band supports has resulted in improvements in design. In particular the use of roller chains as a horizontal support significantly reduces the deflection of an axis horizontal large mirror. Providing that certain design precautions discussed in this paper are taken roller chains provide a relatively simple and low cost support. A number of successful roller chain supports for optics from 0. 68 m to 1 . 8 m in diameter have been built based on the results of the above analytical models. 2.
Condensation Reactions of Ethyl Ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate with Amidines (1970)

The pyrimidine synthesis from ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate (EMCE) and amidines is significantly influenced by the mole ratios of reacting components. In general the use of excess amidine gives better yields. Condensation of EMCE with excess acetamidine gives 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile acetamidinate as the main product in good yield. Reaction between EMCE and excess 2-ethyl-2-thiopseudourea gives 2-ethylthio-4-hydroxy-5-pyrimidinecarbonitrile 2-ethyl-2-thiopseudoureate rather than 3-{3-{[amino (ethylthio) methylene] amino}-2-cyanoacryloyl}-2-ethyl-2-thiopseudourea originally claimed. The condensation reactions of EMCE with other amidines such as guanidine and benzamidine have been studied.
MetaNetX/MNXref – reconciliation of metabolites and biochemical reactions to bring together genome-scale metabolic networks (2015)

MetaNetX is a repository of genome-scale metabolic networks (GSMNs) and biochemical pathways from a number of major resources imported into a common namespace of chemical compounds, reactions, cellular compartments—namely MNXref—and proteins. The MetaNetX.org website (http://www.metanetx.org/) provides access to these integrated data as well as a variety of tools that allow users to import their own GSMNs, map them to the MNXref reconciliation, and manipulate, compare, analyze, simulate (using flux balance analysis) and export the resulting GSMNs. MNXref and MetaNetX are regularly updated and freely available.

Structure of the First Silicate Molecular Sieve with 18-Ring Pore Openings, ECR-34 (2003)

The three-dimensional microporosity of zeolite frameworks have allowed their widespread use in industry as heterogeneous catalysts, absorbents, and ion-exchangers. While the phosphate analogues of zeolites having up to 24 tetrahedral atoms in the pore openings are known, silicate-based zeolites have, until now, been limited to 14-membered ring pore openings. We now disclose the structure and characterization of the synthetic zeolite ECR-34, which can be prepared from a mixed alkali metal reaction gel containing tetraethylammonium (TEA) cations. Its structure has been determined from powder diffraction data and shows ECR-34 to be hexagonal with the dimensions a, b = 21.030(1) A, c = 8.530(1) A, containing one-dimensional, 18-ring pores with 10 A diameter free openings. ECR-34 is stable to 800 degrees C and is able to absorb and ion-exchange large organic molecules. The existence of ECR-34 suggests the potential of preparing other thermally stable silicate molecular sieves with extra-large pores.
Significance of arrhythmias during the first 24 hours of acute myocardial infarction treated with alteplase and effect of early administration of a beta-blocker or a bradycardiac agent on their incidence. (1994)

(1) Our data do not support the hypothesis that beta-blockers or bradycardiac agents might reduce the incidence of major arrhythmias when used in conjunction with thrombolytic therapy. (2) The pathogeneses of VT and VF early during AMI are clearly distinct. (3) VT or VF during the first 2 weeks is a marker for a larger infarct. (4) We could not detect a relation between malignant arrhythmias on day 1 and recurrences within the following 2 weeks.
Effects of Pretilt Angle on Electro‐Optical Properties of π‐Cell LCDs (1999)

Abstract High pretilt angle can help stabilizing the desired bend configuration of π‐cells but also changes the electro‐optical behaviors. We report here a study on how the pretilt angle affects the electro‐optical properties of π‐cells, including the critical voltages needed to stabilize the bend configuration, the minimum voltages needed to turn the π‐cells fully on, the cell gap required to produce the desired π phase retardation, the transmittance‐voltage curves, the response time, and the viewing angle characteristics. The results provide a guidance to construct π‐cells with various pretilt angles.
Policy evaluation using the Ω-return (2015)

We propose the Ω-return as an alternative to the λ-return currently used by the TD(λ) family of algorithms. The benefit of the Ω-return is that it accounts for the correlation of different length returns. Because it is difficult to compute exactly, we suggest one way of approximating the Ω-return. We provide empirical studies that suggest that it is superior to the λ-return and γ-return for a variety of problems.
Embedded wavelet-based coding of three-dimensional oceanographic images with land masses (2001)

We describe the wavelets around land masses (WAVAL) system for the embedded coding of three-dimensional (3-D) oceanographic images. These images differ from those arising in other applications in that valid data exists only at grid points corresponding to sea. Grid points that cover land or lie beyond the bathymetry have no associated data. For these images, the WAVAL system employs a 3-D lifting wavelet transform tailored specifically to the potentially sparse nature of the data by processing only the valid sea data points between land masses. We introduce successive-approximation runlength (SARL) coding, an embedded-coding procedure that adds successive-approximation properties to the well known stack-run (SR) algorithm. SARL is employed to code wavelet coefficients resulting from the 3-D transform in the WAVAL system. However, it is a general technique applicable to other coding tasks in which embedded coding is desired but for which zerotree techniques are impractical. Experimental results show that the WAVAL system achieves substantial improvement in rate-distortion performance over the technique currently used by the US Navy for compression of oceanographic imagery.
Glutamate Transporter Alterations in Alzheimer Disease Are Possibly Associated with Abnormal APP Expression (1997)

Recent studies have shown that deficient functioning of glutamate transporters (GTs) in Alzheimer disease (AD) might lead to neurodegeneration. The main objectives of the present study were to determine which GT subtype is most affected in AD and to asses to what extent altered GT function is associated with abnormal amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression. While EAAT2-immunoreactivity (IR) was decreased in AD frontal cortex, EAAT1- and EAAT3-IR were unaffected; mRNA levels for all 3 GTs were not affected. Decreased EAAT2-IR was associated with decreased GT activity. EAAT2-IR inversely correlated with EAAT2 mRNA levels, suggesting that in AD, GT expression alterations occur due to disturbance at the post-transcriptional level. EAAT2-IR was inversely correlated with APP770 mRNA. In addition, GT activity directly correlated with APP695 mRNA and total APP protein levels, and inversely correlated with APP751/770 mRNA levels. This study supports the notion that astroglial EAAT2 is affected in AD and abnormal functioning and/or processing of APP might play an important role in this process.

A Lattice-Based Framework for Interactively and Incrementally Mining Web Traversal Patterns (2008)

Web mining is one of the mining technologies, which applies data mining techniques in large amount of web data to improve the web services. Web traversal pattern mining discovers most of the users’ access patterns from web logs. This information can provide the navigation suggestions for web users such that appropriate actions can be adopted. However, the web data will grow rapidly in the short time, and some of the web data may be antiquated. The user behaviors may be changed when the new web data is inserted into and the old web data is deleted from web logs. Besides, it is considerably difficult to select a perfect minimum support threshold during the mining process to find the interesting rules. Even though the experienced experts, they also cannot determine the appropriate minimum support. Thus, we must constantly adjust the minimum support until the satisfactory mining results can be found. The essences of incremental or interactive data mining are that we can use the previous mining results to reduce the unnecessary processes when the minimum support is changed or web logs are updated. In this paper, we propose efficient incremental and interactive data mining algorithms to discover web traversal patterns and make the mining results to satisfy the users’ requirements. The experimental results show that our algorithms are more efficient than the other approaches.

Hydrogen gas detection system prototype with wireless sensor networks (2005)

We fabricated a prototype for detecting hydrogen gas leaks in hydrogen filling stations. The prototype is composed of a wireless network with ten sensor nodes that can monitor the spatial distribution of hydrogen gas leakage. To enable each sensor node to be driven by a battery, field-effect-transistor sensors and a microprocessor with low power consumption have been adopted. Additionally, a function to consume minimal levels of power has been developed and installed in the microprocessor in each node. The use of batteries and wireless communications enables the nodes to be placed at optimal sensing locations without regard to the wiring needed with existing gas sensors
Complete nucleotide sequence and host range of South African cassava mosaic virus: further evidence for recombination amongst begomoviruses (2001)

Complete nucleotide sequences of the DNA-A (2800 nt) and DNA-B (2760 nt) components of a novel cassava-infecting begomovirus, South African cassava mosaic virus (SACMV), were determined and compared with various New World and Old World begomoviruses. SACMV is most closely related to East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV) in both its DNA-A (85% with EACMV-MH and -MK) and -B (90% with EACMV-UG2-Mld and EACMV-UG3-Svr) components; however, percentage sequence similarities of less than 90% in the DNA-A component allowed SACMV to be considered a distinct virus. One significant recombination event spanning the entire AC4 open reading frame was identified; however, there was no evidence of recombination in the DNA-B component. Infectivity of the cloned SACMV genome was demonstrated by successful agroinoculation of cassava and three other plant species (Phaseolus vulgaris, Malva parviflora and Nicotiana benthamiana). This is the first description of successful infection of cassava with a geminivirus using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Surface defects and the electronic structure of SrTi<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi mathvariant="normal">O</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn>3</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math>surfaces (1978)

The electronic properties of various types of SrTi${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ surfaces have been studied by using ultraviolet-photoemission and electron-energy-loss spectroscopy, low-energy electron diffraction and Auger spectroscopy. Vacuum-fractured surfaces exhibit weak photoemission in the region of the bulk band gap, which is probably due to residual surface defects. When surface defects are produced by Ar-ion bombardment, a much stronger band of surface states appears in the band-gap region. These states arise from the creation of ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{3+}$-O-vacancy complexes and are predominantly of $d$-electron character. Two surface defect phases are seen, one due to surface disorder and the other to changes in surface composition. The latter phase is stable under annealing to at least 1100 K. Exposure to ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$, however, depopulates the band-gap surface states on both vacuum-fractured and ion-bombarded surfaces. Models for the detailed structure of the defect surface states are discussed.
Simple and effective phase unwrapping technique (1993)

This paper describes a simple and effective phase unwrapping technique that prevents the propagation of errors introduced at some locations on a surface from being included in or propagating to all subsequent calculations for the remaining area of the surface. Unlike conventional phase unwrapping methods that use only the principal phase value, the proposed technique utilizes the modulation information about the fringe pattern to divide the principal phase map into regions, performs mathematical morphology operations to generate a labeled unwrapping sequence mask, and carries out multi-stage phase unwrapping procedures.

c-Ets-1 protein is hyperphosphorylated during mitosis. (1993)

The ets-1 and ets-2 proto-oncogene products can serve as transcription factors and become phosphorylated in response to Ca(2+)-mediated signals. We have examined expression of Ets proteins during the cell cycle in cells synchronized by centrifugal elutriation or nocodazole-induced mitotic block. Both methods revealed the presence of a hyperphosphorylated isoform of Ets-1 during the mitotic phase. This isoform showed a characteristic mobility shift and was observed during mitosis in each of four cell lines (three human T-cell lines and a human astrocytoma) that express ets-1. In elutriated cells, only a small portion of the Ets-1 in cells from the G2/M fractions was hyperphosphorylated, while in nocodazole-arrested cells more of the Ets-1 was shifted. When cells were released from nocodazole arrest, this isoform disappeared within 1-2 h as cells completed mitosis and entered G1. This suggests that hyperphosphorylated Ets-1 is present transiently during early mitosis, before or around the time of the metaphase-anaphase transition. Exposure of unsynchronized cells to okadaic acid resulted in a dramatic hyperphosphorylation of virtually all Ets-1, suggesting that changes in cellular phosphatase activity are important for cell cycle regulation of Ets-1. Hyperphosphorylated Ets-1 appears to arise from multiple phosphorylations on serine in the exon 7-encoded domain of the protein and did not appear to alter sequence-specific DNA-binding activity. Although enhanced phosphorylation of Ets-2 was detected in nocodazole-arrested cells, no Ets-2 hyperphosphorylation was seen.
