Motion texture (2002)

In this paper, we describe a novel technique, called motion texture, for synthesizing complex human-figure motion (e.g., dancing) that is statistically similar to the original motion captured data. We define motion texture as a set of motion textons and their distribution, which characterize the stochastic and dynamic nature of the captured motion. Specifically, a motion texton is modeled by a linear dynamic system (LDS) while the texton distribution is represented by a transition matrix indicating how likely each texton is switched to another. We have designed a maximum likelihood algorithm to learn the motion textons and their relationship from the captured dance motion. The learnt motion texture can then be used to generate new animations automatically and/or edit animation sequences interactively. Most interestingly, motion texture can be manipulated at different levels, either by changing the fine details of a specific motion at the texton level or by designing a new choreography at the distribution level. Our approach is demonstrated by many synthesized sequences of visually compelling dance motion.
Mechanism of Toughening in Rubber Toughened Polyolefin—A Review (2015)

The recent advances and theories in the studies of the toughening mechanism have been reviewed to explain the effect of rubber particles in different rubber modified Polyolefin materials. To elucidate toughening effect, major theories e.g., critical particle distance, particle size, micro deformation by stress field of rubber, shear yielding and crazing phenomena has been reviewed. Based on these theories, variety of blends of rubber modified Polyolefin materials has been compared but no one of these provided adequate information to be considered as total theory of toughening. To achieve the objective of toughening, it is important to maintain critical particle size, uniform particle distribution and good interfacial adhesion by inclusion of suitable compatibilizer in the matrix. Particular attention has been paid to study the type of morphology and bimodal distribution of rubber particles to elucidated toughening effect. Rubber particle cavitation, which comes from micro-voids and rubber phase interface are then further discussed.
Antibodies to murine complement receptor 1 and 2 can inhibit the antibody response in vivo without inhibiting T helper cell induction. (1995)

Administration to mice of mAb against CR1/CR2 inhibits the primary and secondary in vivo Ab response. We have addressed the question of whether induction of T helper cells, in addition to B cells, is inhibited by this treatment. A hapten-carrier system was used, where one group of mice was immunized with a monoclonal CR1/CR2-specific Ab and Ag (SRBC or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)), another with Ag alone, and a third group left nonimmunized. After 2 to 15 wk, spleen cells from these mice were transferred to irradiated syngeneic recipients, together with Ag coupled to the hapten 4-hydroxy-5-iodo-3-nitro-phenacetyl (NIP). The number of NIP-specific, IgG-producing B cells, which in this system is an indication of T cell priming, was determined in an ELISPOT assay. Although the primary SRBC- or KLH-specific IgG response was inhibited markedly (74-98%) by CR1/CR2-specific Ab, no decrease in the number of NIP-specific IgG-producing B cells was detected after secondary immunization. In sharp contrast, the SRBC- or KLH-specific secondary IgG responses were low or undetectable. These findings suggest that CR1/CR2-specific Ab can inhibit the primary Ab response without affecting T helper cells and that the induction of B cell memory is decreased markedly by this treatment.
Noble-Metal Covered W(111) Single-Atom Electron Sources (2009)

Single-atom tips can be used as ideal point sources of electron beams. Noble-metal covered W(111) single-atom tips can be reliably prepared and their lifetimes are long enough for real applications. These tips are both thermally and chemically stable and can be regenerated in vacuum when accidentally damaged or contaminated. The atomic stacking remains the same each time it is regenerated. The small opening angle, smallest emitting area, high brightness, high spatial coherence, and high stability of these single-atom electron sources make them highly desirable for many applications. Both the brightness and spatial coherency of these electron sources are orders of magnitude better than those of the state-of-the-art electron sources used in electron microscopes. Application of these sources may significantly improve the performance and expand the capabilities of current electron microscopes and would probably open up many new possibilities in electron-beam based techniques.
Availability analysis of blade server systems (2008)

The successful development and marketing of commercial high-availability systems requires the ability to evaluate the availability of systems. Specifically, one should be able to demonstrate that projected customer requirements are met, to identify availability bottlenecks, to evaluate and compare different configurations, and to evaluate and compare different designs. For evaluation approaches based on analytic modeling, these systems are often sufficiently complex so that state-space methodsare not effective due to the large number of states, whereas combinatorial methods are inadequate for capturing all significant dependencies. The two-level hierarchical decomposition proposed here is suitable for the availability modeling of blade server systems such as IBM BladeCenter®, a commercial, high-availability multicomponent system comprising up to 14 separate blade servers and contained within a chassis that provides shared subsystems such as power and cooling. This approach is based on an availability model that combines a high-level fault tree model with a number of lowerlevel Markov models. It is used to determine component level contributions to downtime as well as steady-state availability for both standalone and clustered blade servers. Sensitivity of the results to input parameters is examined, extensions to the models are described, and availability bottlenecks and possible solutions are identified.
Metabolism and some characteristics of ruminal strains of Megasphaera elsdenii (1989)

Megasphaera elsdenii belongs to the group comprising the ruminal and intestinal lactate- and sugar-fermenting species. In the present study the fermentation characteristics, metabolism of glucose and lactate, and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of four ruminal strains were investigated. Particular attention was given to the mixed-substrate fermentation pattern and resultant fermentation acid profile. Lactate was utilized more rapidly than glucose in media with both carbon sources. Interaction of the two substrates changed the composition of fermentation end products toward more valerate and less propionate in cultures with glucose and lactate. Contrary to the indications in Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, butyrate, not caproate, was the main end product of glucose metabolism. The strains examined were rather insensitive to many antimicrobial compounds, especially to ionophores and other antimicrobial feed additives.
Viewpoint selection for visual search (1994)

Searching for an object in a cluttered area is often complicated by the fact that the clutter hides portions of the area from view. Multiple viewpoints are often required. Previous viewpoint selection algorithms rely on models that represent the portions already viewed. Unfortunately, these models are often difficult to construct when the sensor position is imprecisely known and when the obtainable depth data is sparse. This paper questions whether scene models are really necessary for selecting viewpoints for search tasks. It investigates two alternative viewpoint selection methods that do not rely on such models. One constructs no representation and simply uses a fitted set of viewpoints, while the other selects viewpoints based on detected occluding edges. On average, both model-free methods compare very favorably to model-based methods, although additional work is necessary to ensure that they abort in a timely manner when the desired object cannot be found.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Sequence‐ion enhancement of peptides digested with proteinase K (1994)

Proteinase K has been employed to proteolyze peptides before their mass spectrometric analysis. This combination of the two methods yields abundant sequence ions in the mass spectrum, thus leading to an easy prediction of the primary structure of the peptide. It was found that both the variety of available sequence ions and also their abundances are increased strongly after proteinase K digestion, when compared with the normal mass spectrum. The shortcoming of little fragmentation encountered using conventional mass spectrometric ionization methods can mostly be overcome. The H'n and Y"m ions produced from proteolysis provided a double check of the peptide sequence.

The Viewing Angle Dependency in the Presence of Wide Field Still Image Viewing and its Relationship to the Evaluation Indices (2006)

The presence (i.e. sensation of being there) from a video system is well known to increase as the viewing angle increases. Unfortunately, quantitative evaluation of presence is very difficult. Previous evaluations attempted to determine both subjective and objective assessments. We quantified presence in viewing still images by varying the video system viewing angle along with subjective evaluations using well selected matched words and objective measurements of viewers' body sway. We also examined the correlation between the indices used to quantify presence. The results indicated that the correlation between the evaluation words “presence” and “powerfulness” was comparatively high but that it was almost zero between “presence” and the total distance of viewers' body sway. This suggested that subjective evaluations using the words “presence” and “powerfulness” were both valid to assess presence and that the subjective evaluations of presence did not correlate with the body sway for each experiment trial.

DSP-based doubly fed induction generator test bench using a back-to-back PWM converter (2005)

Present paper describes the design of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) test bench with active crowbar, using PWM voltage-fed inverters connected between the grid and the rotor. A vector-control scheme is proposed in order to control the power-side and the rotor-side of the converter. A control board, based on a digital signal processor (DSP) and a FPGA, has been developed to manage the overall equipment. Real-time system supervision is implemented by a monitor program.

Endothelial Albumin Binding Proteins Are Membrane-associated Components Exposed on the Cell Surface (1989)

The heterobifunctional, photoactivatable, thiol-cleavable cross-linker sulfosuccinimidyl 2-(p-azido-salicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate (SASD) was radioiodinated and used to determine whether endothelial albumin binding proteins (ABP) recently identified (Ghinea, N., Fixman, A., Alexandru, D., Popov, D., Hasu, M., Ghitescu, L., Eskenasy, M., Simionescu, M., and Simionescu, N. (1988) J. Cell Biol. 107, 231-239) are plasma membrane-associated components exposed on the cell surface. Microvascular endothelial cells (MEC) freshly isolated from rat epididymal fat were incubated with 125I-2-(p-azidosalicylamido)ethyl-1,3'-dithiopropionate (ASD)-albumin conjugate which upon photolysis by UV light was cross-linked to the receptor proteins. By cleaving the disulfide linkages of the cross-linker with 5% beta-mercaptoethanol and the ligand-receptor interactions with 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, the radioiodinated ASD moiety remained attached to the receptor peptides which were further detected by 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. In parallel, samples were examined by ligand blotting with albumin-gold complex. The results showed that in these experimental conditions ABP are represented by two major peptides of 31 and 18 kDa and two minor bands of 73 and 56 kDa. Densitometric scanning showed that the two major bands constitute more than 70% of the total ABP. The four peptides were not apparent if the samples were not UV-irradiated. The binding of the radioiodinated ligand to ABPs was reduced by approximately 82% in the presence of excess competitive unlabeled albumin. When MEC were incubated with unlabeled SASD and exposed to UV light, the autoradiographic banding pattern obtained was similar to that of either radioiodinated receptor proteins or MEC not treated with SASD. This indicated that the four albumin binding peptides are distinct proteins of the endothelial cell plasmalemma.
Joint User Node Positioning and Clock Offset Estimation in 5G Ultra-Dense Networks (2015)

It is commonly expected that network densification will play an important role in achieving the capacity demands of 5G communication networks. While densification is introduced to improve the spectral efficiency and area-capacity, it also results in an infrastructure that is perfectly suitable for user node (UN) positioning. However, so far this compelling opportunity has not been clearly recognized in the literature. In this paper, we therefore propose to make "always on" positioning an integral part of 5G networks such that highly accurate user location estimates are available at any given moment but without draining the UN batteries. We furthermore propose an extended Kalman filter (EKF) that tracks the user location based on the fusion of direction of arrival (DoA) and time of arrival (ToA) estimates obtained at the access nodes (ANs) of the 5G network. Since ToA estimates are typically not useful for positioning unless the UN is synchronized with the network, we include a realistic clock model within the DoA/ToA EKF. This addition makes it possible to estimate the offset of the imperfect UN clock, along with the UN position. In an extensive analysis that is based on specific 5G simulation models, we then quantify the enormous potential of high accuracy positioning in 5G networks, in general, and the proposed DoA/ToA EKF, in particular. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed DoA/ToA EKF substantially outperforms the classical DoA-only EKF and is furthermore also able to handle practically extremely relevant situations where the DoA-only EKF fails to position the UN.
Evidence of a predisposing locus to bipolar disorder on Xq24-q27.1 in an extended Finnish pedigree. (1995)

An X-chromosomal predisposing locus to manic-depressive illness has been suggested since 1969 on the basis of the cosegregation of this trait in some families with phenotypic markers, such as color blindness, the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and the coagulation factor IX deficiency. However, the conclusive evidence and the exact location of the putative X-chromosomal locus have remained controversial. We report here a linkage between DNA markers near the coagulation factor IX gene and bipolar disorder in an extended pedigree rising from the genetically isolated population of Finland. A distinct chromosomal haplotype covering a 20-cM region on Xq24-q27.1 could be demonstrated to segregate with bipolar disorder. These findings should encourage research groups to study extended family materials with Xq24-q27.1 markers to finally resolve the question of the X-chromosomal linkage of bipolar disorder.
Contactless Liquid-Level Measurement With Frequency-Modulated Millimeter Wave Through Opaque Container (2012)

A novel contactless method for measuring liquid level through an opaque container is proposed. A millimeter-wave Doppler sensor is developed to “see” (i.e., sense) through a target container and measure the liquid level on the basis of the absorption of millimeter waves in liquid. One of the challenges is to accurately measure liquid level (within sub-millimeter error) despite the inherently large beam diameter of the millimeter wave due to diffraction. A piezoelectric vibrator enables accurate measurement by reflecting a limited portion of the spread beam and modulating it in frequency to distinguish it from the other portion of the beam. A prototype measurement system is fabricated and evaluated. The feasibility of our proposed method for clearly detecting an air-liquid interface concealed in an opaque container is confirmed experimentally. The nonlinearity error of the measured liquid level is within ±0.5 mm .
Detection of Pathological Tachycardia by Analysis of Electrogram Morphology (1986)

Pacemaker recognition of pathological tachycardia relies on heart rate analysis. This can lead to misdiagnosis when sinus tachycardia exceeds the preset tachycardia response trigger rate. We have explored a method for automatic tachycardia diagnosis by analysis of bipolar endocardial electrogram morphology. Electrograms were recorded from 11 patients (pts) during sinus rhythm and during a total of 20 abnormal rhythms: retrograde atrial depolarization from ventricular pacing in six patients; atrioventricular reentry tachycardia in five patients with intermittent left bundle branch block in one of those; AV nodal reentry tachycardia in five patients and ventricular tachycardia in three patients. Posture and respiration were varied during all rhythms except ventricular tachycardia. The electrograms were then digitized and converted to a form in which the amplitudes were proportional to the rates of change of the original electrogram (equivalent to a first time derivative); the derived signal was then analyzed by a new gradient pattern detection (GPD) program. Analysis of the processed atrial signals by GPD resulted in automatic recognition of abnormal rhythms from sinus rhythm in all cases except for one patient's retrograde atrial depolarization. At the ventricular level, GPD successfully distinguished all abnormal rhythms from sinus rhythm including recognition of left bundle branch block and varying degrees of preexcitation. Respiratory and postural variation did not affect the recognition process. We conclude that electrogram GPD has successfully and automatically detected a variety of arrhythmias which can be treated by implantable pulse generators and may, therefore, be a useful adjunct to heart rate analysis in future generations of such antitachycardia pacemakers.
Shape Deviation Modeling for Dimensional Quality Control in Additive Manufacturing (2013)

Dimensional quality control is critical for wider adoption of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a direct manufacturing technology. Due to the process’ complex physics, AM-fabricated parts still require post-processing with machine tools, which significantly negates its time and cost benefits. In this paper, we investigate product shape deviation for Mask Image Projection Stereolithography (MIP-SLA) — one of the earliest commercialized AM techniques. By studying part fabrication mechanisms, we consider (i) over or under exposure, (ii) light blurring and (iii) phase change induced shrinkage or expansion as the most significant sources for shape deviations. Accordingly, the shape deviation modeling is established to quantify the effects of those influential factors and to understand the deviation mechanisms. Cylinders and cubes of various sizes were built to test our approach. Accurate prediction of shape deviation for all parts serves as a further confirmation of our model.

QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT ANALYSIS BASED ON NEURAL NETWORK AND STATISTICAL RESULTS (2008)

Abstract: QFD is a method of translating high-level objectives into concrete actions and metrics. It is one of the techniques that aims to fulfill the customers ’ satisfaction at the very beginning, namely the product design phase. This study focuses on the development of general QFD for machine specification selection so that it later can be used for any kind of machine evaluation prior to purchasing the machines. A set of questionnaires was used as an instrument and was distributed to 223 respondents. NN models were generated and statistical methods were used to explain the relationship between attributes in this study. The findings from the experiments conducted exhibit that the significant correlations of QFD with customer voices help to explain the relationship between attributes. The study also indicates that NN forecasting model has been established with 12.30 percent misclassification error in determining the customer voices based on QFD versus 6.3 percent using regression. This indicates that the approach has the potential in explaining the relationship between QFD and the customers, as well as predicting the type of customer if QFD information is provided. Hence, the study reveals the type of machine and type of operation that are favourable to customer prior to acquiring the machines for their industrial usage.
Does Co-Opetition Change the Game? A Bayesian Analysis of Firm Participation Strategy in an Industry Standard-Setting Organization (2010)

Across different industries, we observe the emergence of industry standard-setting organizations (SSO) that focus on the creation of industry-specific process standards. Firms adopt a strategy of co-opetition, the combination of cooperation and competition, during standards development. We propose that a firm's co-opetition strategy is revealed to some extent by when it elects to participate in an industry SSO. Bayesian information updating offers an effective empirical modeling perspective for studying firms' participation strategies when managers' beliefs and uncertainties are factored into their decision-making. We analyze a panel data set of 73 U.S. public firms over a 20-year period. These firms are members of the TeleManagement Forum, an information, communications and entertainment industries SSO. We study organizational characteristics of member firms to understand how they relate to a firm's SSO participation strategy, thus capturing the co-opetition dynamics of firms in the presence of process standardization. SSO participation strategies of firms do change as an industry SSO matures and as more information is gradually revealed. Additionally, there is a positive relationship between a firm's likelihood to participate and announcements of key process-related events. The participation dynamics show more change in the beginning, but eventually stabilize over time.
