We consider the problem of determining the “closest”, or best Internet host to connect to, from a list of candidate servers. Most existing approaches rely on the use of metric, or more specifically Euclidean coordinates to infer network proximity. This is ...
We use the coordinate transformation technique to design metamaterial lenses that can magnify a two-dimensional planar image beyond the diffraction limit. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America ...

Although straight point to point movements have been successfully modeled until now, many reaching movements are not straight neither in hand Cartesian nor in joint angles space, such as for example movements directed towards oneself. Addressing the genera ...
Manipulating small objects such as needles, screws or plates inside the human body during minimally invasive surgery can be very difficult for less experienced surgeons due to the loss of 3D depth perception. Classical navigation techniques are often incap ...
A new class of benzimidazole-substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands has been prepared that contain a monoanionic tridentate N,N,O-coordinating unit. These ligands form charge-neutral lanthanide complexes of the type [Ln(LR) 3] · nH2O or [Ln2(L2)3] · nH2O ( ...
The coordinate transformation technique is applied to the design of perfect lenses and superlenses. In particular, anisotropic metamaterials that magnify two-dimensional planar images beyond the diffraction limit are designed by the use of oblate spheroida ...
In this paper, a novel particle filter tracker is presented for target tracking using collocated radar and acoustic sensors. Real-time tracking of the target's position and velocity in Cartesian coordinates is performed using batches of range and direction ...
In this paper, a complete system is presented which mimics a QWERTY keyboard on an arbitrary surface. The system consists of a pattern projector and a true-3D range camera for detecting the typing events. We exploit depth information acquired with the 3D r ...
Manipulating biological samples in microliter droplets has vast potential in molecular diagnostics. We present a system for the two-dimensional (2D) magnetic manipulation of aqueous droplets suspended in silicone oil as a platform for on-chip bioanalysis. ...
The invention relates to a surgical navigation system, comprising a microscope to which a 3D measuring apparatus is rigidly fixed, for localising objects within the field of operation. Markers are fixed to the objects the position of which is desirable to ...
