Touch Displays (2015)

Abstract A touch display is a display that includes an attached, integrated, or embedded touch screen. A touch screen is an electronic subsystem that detects a user's touch on the surface of a display and translates it into information that a computer can understand and use. The key characteristic of a touch screen is its touch technology, the particular method by which the electronic subsystem detects a user's touch. All touch technologies can be categorized into six basic types, each with a number of subtypes (indicated in parentheses), as follows: capacitive (projected and surface), resistive (analog, digital multi‐touch, and analog multi‐touch), acoustic (surface acoustic wave, Acoustic Pulse Recognition™, and Dispersive Signal Technology™), optical (traditional infrared, multi‐touch infrared, camera‐based, in‐glass/planar scatter detection, and vision‐based), embedded (on‐cell capacitive, hybrid in‐cell/on‐cell capacitive, in‐cell capacitive, and light‐sensing), and other (force‐sensing). A total of 18 different touch technologies are therefore described, all of which are in current use with displays today. With the exception of embedded touch technology, where the touch screen is designed‐in as part of the display, the display underneath the touch screen in a touch display is just a standard display, not unique in any way. The descriptions of the 18 touch technologies are not highly technical; depth of technical information on any one technology is sacrificed for breadth of information on multiple technologies.
On Threshold Values That Separate Pedestrian Walkways That Are Slip Resistant from Those That Are Not (1996)

Abstract Pedestrian accidents generate significant direct, morbidity and mortality costs. Slip accidents are generally a result of a number of factors. One factor that has received considerable attention is the walkway-surface slipperiness. It is desirable to be able to isolate, to the extent possible, the contribution of the walkway surface to slipperiness. It has been the practice of those involved in evaluating walkway slip resistance to test the floor against a standard test foot under specified conditions and compare the results of that testing against a threshold. Those walkway surfaces that produce a friction coefficient above the threshold are considered acceptable. Past and present tests and associated thresholds are discussed. Abuse issues are discussed. It is recommended that field tests measure the available friction with a tribometer capable of correctly characterizing the friction model experienced by the pedestrian and compare that against a utilized friction threshold, determined by normative or force-plate means, for activities foreseeable in the area where a fall occurs.
Dynamic Resource Prediction and Allocation for Cloud Data Center Using the Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm (2017)

In order to optimize the resource utilization of physical machines (PMs), the workload prediction of virtual machines (VMs) is vital but challenging. Most of existing literatures focus on either resource prediction or allocation individually, but both of them are highly correlated. In this paper, we propose a multiobjective genetic algorithm (GA) to dynamically forecast the resource utilization and energy consumption in cloud data center. We formulate a multiobjective optimization problem of resource allocation, which considers the CPU and memory utilization of VMs and PMs, and the energy consumption of data center. The proposed GA forecasts the resource requirement of next time slot according to the historical data in previous time slots. We further propose a VM placement algorithm to allocate VMs for next time slot based on the prediction results of GA. In our simulation-based analysis, the optimal solution for resource prediction under stable and unstable utilization tendency is found by the proposed GA. The prediction result is superior to the previous proposed Grey forecasting model. Results show that the proposed VM placement algorithm not only increases the average utilization level of CPU and memory but also decreases the energy consumption of cloud data center.
CHARACTERIZATION OF ECTOPICALLY-EXPRESSED ETS1 IN HUMAN COLON-CANCER CELLS - INDUCTION OF PUTATIVE ETS1-TARGET GENE (1993)

We have previously shown that the ETS1 gene is expressed in a tissue-specific manner, and encodes a transcription factor, that may be involved in lymphocyte development, activation and proliferation. To understand the ETS1 function in non-lymphoid cells, we have ectopically expressed ETS1 protein in a human colon cancer cell line, and studied its biochemical properties. The 51 kDa ETS1 protein expressed in transfected cells localized in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm, has similar biochemical properties compared to ETS1 protein expressed in lymphoid cells. The ectopically expressed ETS1 binds to the DNA in sequence-specific manner and the binding activity is affected by the flanking sequences outside the 'GGA' core. Our results also demonstrate that the DNA-binding activity of full-length ETS1 is similar in lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. The ETS1 expressed in DLD-1 cells is biologically active since it induces a 54.5 kDa polypeptide, whose expression level correlates with the expression of ETS1 in DLD-1 cells.
<i>p</i>-type CdTe epilayers grown by photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy (1986)

We report the first successful substitutional doping of CdTe films with antimony. These p-type epilayers were prepared using a new technique, photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy, in which the substrate is illuminated during the film deposition process. Illumination was found to produce immediate and favorable changes in the electrical properties of the CdTe:Sb films such that highly activated p-type layers resulted. CdTe:Sb films grown under similar conditions, but in the absence of illumination, were found to be insulating.
Potato tuber type H phosphorylase isozyme. Molecular cloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression of a full-length cDNA in Escherichia coli. (1991)

Higher plant tissues contain two alpha-glucan phosphorylase isozymes (EC 2.4.1.1), types L and H, localized in the plastid and the cytoplasm, respectively. We already isolated and sequenced a cDNA clone encoding the type L isozyme. Presently, a cDNA clone encoding the type H counterpart was isolated from a cDNA library of immature potato tuber by plaque hybridization, using two oligonucleotide probes synthesized based on the partial amino acid sequences of the type H isozyme. The message encodes a polypeptide of 838 amino acid residues. Sequence comparison of the two potato tuber phosphorylase isozymes revealed two major distinctions; the type L isozyme contains a 78-residue insertion in the middle of the polypeptide chain as well as a 50-residue amino-terminal extension. Except for these extra portions, the two isozyme sequences show an identity of 63%. The entire structural gene for the type H isozyme was inserted 3'-downstream of the strong T7 RNA polymerase promoter in the expression plasmid pET-3b. Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells carrying this plasmid produced active phosphorylase upon induction with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside at 22 degrees C. The expression is entirely dependent on the temperature; the bacteria did not produce a detectable amount of the active enzyme at 37 degrees C. Addition of pyridoxine to the culture medium was effective for the enzyme production.
Synthesis of Substituted Indole-2-carboxylates: Versatile Introduction of a Carbamoyl Moiety at the C-3 Position (1999)

Abstract This paper deals with a novel and versatile synthetic approach for the introduction of a functionalized ethynyl side chain at the C-3 position of the 2-carboxyindole nucleus. The key step of this process is represented by the coupling reaction between the dianion deriving from the 2-carboxylate-3-acetylide with different isocyanates.
A quantitative approach to nonlinear process design rule scaling [VLSI] (1999)

This paper describes a quantitative methodology for selecting nonlinear design rule scale factors that provide the most cost-efficient improvements in IC performance and area. The methodology includes identifying the design rules which have the greatest impact on the scaling objective and analyzing the area and performance improvements as these rules are scaled through a range of practical scale factors. Power and delay improvement data are then combined with die cost estimates to produce a cost/benefit ratio, a quantitative metric for design rule scaling cost-efficiency. The slopes and inflection points of cost/benefit vs. scale factor plots will guide process engineers in selecting scale factors for the various design rules. This procedure is repeated using the results of one iteration as the starting point for the next. The cost/benefit analysis methodology is demonstrated by comparing embedded static RAMs implemented in a complementary GaAs (CGaAs/sup TM/) process. The SRAMs are generated by a process-independent, optimizing SRAM compiler which can create SRAM macrocells for any complementary technology. A cost/benefit analysis of the CGaAs design rules shows that when operating under a fixed spending cap for process scaling research, development, and capital equipment acquisition, nonlinear scaling can provide greater improvements in area and performance than linear scaling. The results also show that for a 0.5 /spl mu/m CGaAs process to be fabricated in high volume, the first scaling step should be a 30% reduction of the source drain area and via/metal pitch, gate metal to ohmic spacing, and gate metal spacing design rules.
ZooMICSS (2006)

Access to devices that integrate Global Positioning data with image and sound acquisition becomes more common, enabling people to build large collections of locative multimedia. As the size and number of these locative media collections grow, so too does the importance of systems that support collection sensemaking. Media semantics, which include automatically acquired location data, as well as user-supplied annotations, play a key role in these user-centered processes of collection utilization. This demo presents a Zoomable Map Image Collection Sensemaking System that enables the collection, organization, browsing, and annotation of locative images. The Zoomable Map Perspective is supplemented by event-based clustering. Dynamic views are generated automatically from captured media. The system is currently being used to document the location and condition of homes and neighborhoods in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Recent Advances in Marine Algal Anticoagulants (2004)

A large number of anticoagulant polysaccharides from marine algae have been isolated and characterized. Algal anticoagulant polysaccharides exert their anticoagulant activity through potentiating antithrombin III (AT III) and/or heparin cofactor II (HC II) that are important endogenous inhibitors, called SERPIN. The anticoagulant mechanism is the one by which heparin, heparin sulfate and dermatan sulfate exert their activity. On the other hand, some algal anticoagulant polysaccharides exert anticoagulant activity through directly inhibiting fibrin polymerization and/or thrombin activity without potentiating AT III and HC II. Furthermore, new functions of algal anticoagulant polysaccharides have been discovered recently, as it has been shown that heparin and its derivatives have important roles in many biological processes. Algal anticoagulant polysaccharides activate fibrinolysis system and modulate endothelial cell functions. Our recent studies conducted on marine algal biologically active compounds have shown anti-platelet and anticoagulant proteins and fibrinolytic enzymes. Therefore, algal polysaccharides and proteins have attracted the attention of biomedical scientists. This article provides a short review of algal anticoagulants and recent developments in this area. It focuses on their biological activities, structures, and potent uses as medical agents.
A hydrogen−sensitive MOS field−effect transistor (1975)

An MOS transistor in silicon with 10−nm silicon dioxide as gate insulator and 10−nm palladium as gate electrode was fabricated. The threshold voltage of this transistor was found to be a function of the partial pressure of hydrogen in the ambient atmosphere. At a device temperature of 150 °C it was possible to detect 40 ppm hydrogen gas in air with response times less than 2 min.
Model-based sensor and actuator fault detection and isolation (2002)

This work concerns the development of an analytical redundancy-based approach for detecting and isolating sensor, actuator, and component (i.e., plant) faults in complex dynamical systems, such as aircraft and spacecraft. The method is based on the use of constrained Kalman filters, which are able to detect and isolate such faults by exploiting functional relationships that exist among various subsets of available actuator input and sensor output data. A statistical change detection technique based on a modification of the standard generalized likelihood ratio statistic is used to detect faults in real time. The feasibility and efficacy of the approach is demonstrated through simulation in the context of a nonlinear jet engine control system.
Deep-Learning Systems for Domain Adaptation in Computer Vision: Learning Transferable Feature Representations (2017)

Domain adaptation algorithms address the issue of transferring learning across computational models to adapt them to data from different distributions. In recent years, research in domain adaptation has been making great progress owing to the advancements in deep learning. Deep neural networks have demonstrated unrivaled success across multiple computer vision applications, including transfer learning and domain adaptation. This article outlines the latest research in domain adaptation using deep neural networks. It begins with an introduction to the concept of knowledge transfer in machine learning and the different paradigms of transfer learning. It provides a brief survey of nondeep-learning techniques and organizes the rapidly growing research in domain adaptation based on deep learning. It also highlights some drawbacks with the current state of research in this area and offers directions for future research.
Temperature Dependence of Ethanol Depression in Mice: Dose Response (1994)

Manipulation of body temperature during intoxication significantly alters brain sensitivity to ethanol. The current study tested the generality of this effect within the hypnotic dose range. Drug naive, male C57BL/6J mice were injected with 3.2, 3.6, or 4.0 g/kg ethanol (20% w/v) and were exposed to 1 of 7 designated temperatures from 13 degrees to 34 degrees C to manipulate body temperature during intoxication. Rectal temperature at return of righting reflex (RORR) was significantly, positively correlated with loss of righting reflex (LORR) duration and significantly, negatively correlated with blood ethanol concentration (BEC) at RORR at all three doses. These results indicate that increasing body temperature during intoxication increased ethanol sensitivity in C57 mice at all three doses tested and demonstrate the generality of temperature dependence across hypnotic doses in these animals. Interestingly, the LORR duration was dose-dependent at each ambient temperature, but the degree of body temperature change and the BEC at RORR were not dose-dependent. Overall, these results emphasize the importance of body temperature as a variable in ethanol research.
Analysis of two-dimensional differential demodulation for OFDM (2002)

The possibility of combining differential demodulators in time direction and frequency direction for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) frames is investigated. The proposed algorithm uses not only the direction in which the information is modulated, but also joins it with the additional second direction that is differentially demodulated as well. In the special case that is investigated here, the second direction does not carry any modulated information, but can be used for the two-dimensional demodulation process without changing the transmitter. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is applicable for existing digital transmission systems, like for example digital audio broadcasting (DAB), as well as new systems.
Adjuvant and neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy for osteogenic sarcoma (2007)

At present, patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of the extremity aged less than 40 years have an expected 5-year survival rate of 70% with a chemotherapy regimen based on methotrexate, cisplatin, doxorubicin and ifosfamide. Further improvement cannot be achieved by dose intensification of treatment and new strategies are required. Prolonged follow-up is mandatory due to the risk of late effects, second tumors and late relapse from osteosarcoma.
Wideband speech coding using multiple codebooks and glottal pulses (2002)

We propose a coder that achieves near transparent wideband speech coding by parameterising the prediction residual through the use of multiple codebooks and synthetic glottal pulses coupled with adaptive bit allocation. The use of synthetic glottal pulses improves the performance of the coder compared to a previous coder using a single impulse without increasing the bit rate. This multiple codebook approach results in a coder operating at 16 kb/s and 24 kb/s that provides comparable speech quality to the CCITT G.722 coder operating at 64 kb/s.
Hard real-time preemptively scheduling with high context switch cost (2002)

One of the most important aspects in the development of real-time systems is the scheduling policy to guarantee the response time of a task with timing constraints. Some real-time scheduling techniques use the advantage of stack scheduler properties to bound the number of context switches. In general purpose real-time systems, the context switch does not introduce a significant overhead in the system execution, so their importance in the analysis is not relevant. However, in some applications such as multimedia where the tasks exhibit a very high context switch cost, their importance could be crucial. In this case, the context switch is mainly due to the latency time of the I/O devices. In this paper, an analytic model is presented to calculate off-line the number of preemptions which a set of periodic tasks suffer, scheduled by a static (Rate Monotonic, Deadline Monotonic) and a dynamic (Earliest Deadline First) scheduler. Moreover, the necessary and sufficient conditions to construct a task set in which a subset will never be preempted being scheduled under the scheduling policies described is shown. Finally, an evaluation and comparison of both approaches is developed.
Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Immunostimulatory Dendritic Cells under Feeder-Free Culture Conditions (2008)

These data suggest the development of a novel active immunotherapy platform to stimulate potent T-cell immunity in patients with intractable diseases, such as cancer or viral infection.
Performance comparison of smartphones and a wearable motion sensor for patient m-assessment (2018)

Wearable motion sensors are successfully used for human gait and mobility analysis. They are based on inertial measurement units (IMUs) that can successfully replace 3D camera systems and be used outside clinical environments for patient teleassessment. Modern smartphones with increasing computational power include IMUs similar to ones available in the professional clinical motion sensors. That raises a question whether a conventional smartphone can be used for clinical grade body motion analysis instead of dedicated wearable sensors. This article compares the motion measurement accuracy of two conventional smartphones (Samsung S8 Edge and iPhone 6) and a dedicated wearable sensor used in previous clinical trials. Performance analysis towards two specific clinical tests - Romberg and range of motion (ROM) test were conducted.
Deformable Convolutional Networks Tracker (2019)

Object tracking is a fundamental topic in computer vision. It is an interdisciplinary scientific filed involving machine learning, pattern recognition etc, and has a wide applicability. Although, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved significant success for visual recognition tasks. Deformation and scale variation of targets are huge challenges in object tracking. They cannot address these challenges for relying on massive amounts of data to build deep models. They are inherently limited to model geometric transformations due to the fixed geometry in the building blocks. In short, CNNs are inherently limited to model large and unknown transformation. In this paper, we introduced a deformable convolution module to construct a novel deformable convolutional networks tracker(DCT).The tracker illustrates outstanding performance in the Visual Tracker Benchmark (OTB)100[7] benchmark with scale variation and deformation attributes.
The grafting of methyl methacrylate onto cotton by tri‐<i>n</i>‐butylborane (1972)

Abstract Methyl Methacrylate was grafted onto cotton by tri‐ n ‐butylborane in the presence of water. No graft was obtained in organic solvents, i.e., in the absence of water. The percentage of grafting increased with increases in reaction time, cotton amount, and initiator concentration. Pretreatment of cotton with pyridine also enhanced the percentage of grafting. Glycidyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate were grafted onto cotton by tri‐ n ‐butylborane, while no grafting occurred when vinyl acetate and 4‐vinyl pyridine were used. Usual radical initiators, such as azobisisobutyronitrile and benzoyl peroxide/dimethyl‐ p ‐toluidine, were not effective under the same conditions.
Prosthetic Jamming Terminal Device: A Case Study of Untethered Soft Robotics (2016)

This article illuminates the major and often overlooked challenge of untethering soft robotic systems through the context of recent work, in which soft robotic gripper technology enabled by jamming of granular media was applied to a prosthetic jamming terminal device (PJTD). The PJTD's technical and market feasibility was evaluated in a pilot study with two upper-limb amputees. A PJTD prototype was tested against a commercial device (Motion Control electric terminal service with a one degree-of-freedom pinching mechanism) using two existing hand function tests: the first quantified the device's speed in picking and placing small blocks and the second evaluated a person's ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). The PJTD prototype performed slightly slower than its commercial counterpart in the first test. While both participants successfully completed all the ADLs with both devices in the second test, the commercial device scored marginally higher. Results suggested that PJTD can have potential benefits over existing terminal devices, such as providing the capability to firmly grasp tools due to the ability of PJTD to conform to arbitrary surfaces and reducing compensatory shoulder movements due to its axisymmetric design. Some downsides were that users reported fatigue while operating the PJTD, as most operations require pushing the PJTD against target objects to adequately conform to them. The greatest drawback for the PJTD is also a major roadblock preventing a number of soft robotic research projects from making an impact in real-world applications: pneumatic technology required for operating the PJTD is currently too large and heavy to enable compact untethered operation.
