We consider multiple description coding for the Gaussian source with K descriptions under the symmetric mean squared error distortion constraints. One of the main contributions is a novel lower bound on the sum rate, derived by generalizing Ozarow’s well-k ...
We consider the class of piecewise state feedback control laws applied to discrete-time systems, motivated by recent work on the computation of closed-form MPC controllers. The on-line evaluation of such a control law requires the determination of the stat ...
Infiltration by a pure matrix in the presence of preform deformation and partial matrix solidification is analyzed using a bounding approach for the preform rheology where solid metal is present. It is found, using parameters for the infiltration of short ...
We present efficient data structures and caching schemes to accelerate ray-surface intersections for deforming point-sampled surfaces. By exploiting spatial and temporal coherence of the deformation during the animation, we are able to improve rendering pe ...
NMR-microprobes based on solenoids and Helmholtz coils have been microfabricated and NMR-spectra of mammalian cells have successfully been taken. The microfabrication technology developed for these probes consists of three electroplated copper levels for l ...
Collision detection tests between objects dominate run time simulation of rigid body animation. Traditionally hierarchical bounding box tests are used to minimize collision detection time. But the bounding boxes do not take shapes of the objects into accou ...
A number of microfabricated flow cytometry devices have been proposed based on electrical(1,2) or optical(3) detection techniques. On chip marker-free differentiation of cells using impedance spectroscopy was demonstrated between leukocyte sub-populations ...
We report on our progress in reconstructing phylogenies from gene-order data. We have developed polynomial-time methods for estimating genomic distances that greatly improve the accuracy of trees obtained using the popular neighbor-joining method; we have ...
