We consider multiple description source coding problem with Gaussian source and mean squared error, for K=3 descriptions. We obtain an outer bound for the rate region of the problem. We also derive an inner bound for the problem based on successively ref ...
The expression problem is fundamental for the development of extensible software. Many (partial) solutions to this important problem have been proposed in the past. None of these approaches solves the problem of using different, independent extensions jo ...
This technical report describes the advancements on our research on collaborative annotations of maps. Particularly, we are trying to answer the following research question: does making explicit the location references of the elements of a discourse enhanc ...
An original analytical formula for the torque/emf constant of a slotless brushless DC (BLDC) motor is presented. It is obtained by solving and integrating the permanent magnet field. In addition, formulas for the both stator and rotor iron fields are deriv ...
Task specific mechanism design for spatial linkages has remained a challenge. In this paper we present a kinematic design methodology, which combines the formalism of the Lie Group method with the effectiveness of creativity techniques from ’integrated pro ...
The rapid evolution in microsystems and optoelectronics creates the demand for robotic production means with increased performance. The required precision for specific tasks in machining, positioning and assembly is a factor 10 to 100 better than 1 microme ...
When solving numerical constraints such as nonlinear equations and inequalities, solvers often exploit pruning techniques, which remove redundant value combinations from the domains of variables, at pruning steps. To find the complete solution set, most of ...
Traditional snakes, or active contours, are planar parametric curves. Their parameters are determined by optimizing the weighted sum of three energy terms: one depending on the data (typically on the integral of its gradient under the curve, or on its inte ...
For the numerical simulation of the circulatory system, geometrical multiscale models based on the coupling of systems of differential equations with different spatial dimensions are becoming common practice. In this paper we address the mathematical analy ...
Non-polar solvation dynamics has been investigated using steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy of the NO A(2)Sigma(+)(3ssigma) Rydberg state in fluid Ar over a wide range of densities spanning the supercritical regime. Equilibrium molecular dyn ...
