The lasting effects of spike insoles on postural control in the elderly

Estelle Palluel

The purpose of the present study was to explore the lasting effects of a tactile sensitivity enhancement induced by spike insoles on the control of stance in the elderly. Healthy elderly subjects (n = 19, mean age = 68.8) and young adults (n = 17, mean age ...

Leaky Waveguide for Train-to-Wayside Communication-Based Train Control

In guided urban automated transportation systems, the maintenance of a high-quality broadband train-to-wayside communication at all locations along the track poses a major problem. Several techniques are currently used. However, to achieve sufficient rates ...

Identity Aware Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Lorenzo Keller, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani

In a significant class of sensor-network applications, the identities of the reporting sensors constitute the bulk of the communicated data, whereas the message itself can be as small as a single bit---for instance, in many cases, sensors are used to detec ...

Consensus and collision detectors in radio networks

Seth Gilbert

We consider the fault-tolerant consensus problem in radio networks with crash-prone nodes. Specifically, we develop lower bounds and matching upper bounds for this problem in single-hop radios networks, where all nodes are located within broadcast range of ...

Toward Massive Query Optimization in Large-Scale Distributed Stream Systems

Karl Aberer

Existing distributed stream systems adopt a tightly-coupled communication paradigm and focus on fine-tuning of operator placements to achieve communication efficiency. This kind of approach is hard to scale (both to the nodes in the network and the users). ...

Exploiting Phoneme Similarities in Hybrid HMM-ANN Keyword Spotting

Hynek Hermansky, Joel Praveen Pinto

We propose a technique for generating alternative models for keywords in a hybrid hidden Markov model - artificial neural network (HMM-ANN) keyword spotting paradigm. Given a base pronunciation for a keyword from the lookup dictionary, our algorithm genera ...

Tapping the Mind or Resonating Minds?

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz

Brains interfaced to machines, where thought is used to control and manipulate these machines. This is the vision examined in this chapter. First-generation brain-machine interfaces have already been developed, and technological developments must surely le ...
