A novel DAC architecture based on a sub-binary radix converter is presented. By calibrating digitally the nonlinear sub-binary converter, it is possible to use it as a high-precision, high-resolution digital-to-analog converter. The analog part of the new ...
Parallel kinematics structures currently find increasing industrial applications, particularly in packaging and assembly. With very few exceptions, machine-tools with parallel kinematics are limited to mechanisms with three or six degrees of freedom. Moreo ...
In many microorganisms, flux limitations in oxidative metab. lead to the formation of overflow metabolites even under fully aerobic conditions. This can be avoided if the specific growth rate is controlled at a low enough value. This is usually accomplishe ...
Scaling down robots to miniature size introduces many new challenges including memory and program size limitations, low processor performance and low power autonomy. In this paper we describe the concept and implementation of learning of safe-wandering and ...
In this paper a hierarchical multi-resolution approach allowing for high precision and distinctiveness is presented. The method combines topological and metric paradigm. The metric approach, based on the Kalman Filter, uses a new concept to avoid the probl ...
The Lambert W function appears in a wide variety of circumstances, including the recent application to signal processing referred to in the paper under discussion. Besides applications, a sizable body of mathematical analysis has been reported. The origina ...
Improving cache performance requires understanding cache behavior. However, measuring cache performance for one or two data input sets provides little insight into how cache behavior varies across all data input sets. This paper uses our recently published ...
Computer simulations of granular materials based on the distinct element method (DEM) are now commonly used in the design and optimization of industrial processes. One of the leading mathematical approach to DEM uses dynamic triangulations for detecting co ...
The challenge of knowing one's position in a precise and reliable way, at any time, with and without reception of satellite signals, represents an area fairly explored for the navigation of vehicles. To widen this service to the pedestrians requires a diff ...
To be able to calculate the performances of a hybrid stepping motor or to design it in a short time, it is essential to apply an efficient model, accepting a slight loss of precision. Using software based on finite elements and executing calculations are d ...
