Children across the globe experience the phenomenon of quickly losing interest in their toys, leading to the accumulation and wasteful disposal of toys. After conducting research and considering the characteristics of toys along with their potential use ...

Our Framework (frw) proposes to separate concerns in IoT devices in a new way, offering upgradeability by default. We explain the design of the frw, and demonstrate a full-stack implementation.

Typical IoT appliances integrate physical and network ...

Correlation is a highly computationally intensive and data-intensive signal processing application that is used heavily in radio astronomy for imaging and other measurements. For example, the next generation radio telescope, Square Kilometer Array Low (...

In this paper, we reintroduce evolutionary algorithms into Auto-MoDe, an automatic design approach which optimizes behavioural modules into a probabilistic finite automaton. We evaluate three approaches, with different encodings of the probabilistic ...

The exoskeleton for lower limb rehabilitation is an uprising field of robot technology. However, since it is difficult to achieve all the optimal design values at the same time, each lower extremity exoskeleton has ...

Considering the adaptability of product platform in product family optimisation, the product module can be divided into common module, adaptable module and customisation module. Some of the design parameters in adaptable module have bi-level relationship ...

Evolution of biological macromolecules in a tube (in vitro evolution) of modern synthetic biology can be reasonably interpreted as the implementation of genetic algorithms (GA) in a biochemical experiment. This area of modern biology and bioengineering ...

Stroke is the most prevalent neurological disease and often leads to disability. Stroke can affect a person’s daily life, for example, its typical feature is the decline in the patient’s upper limbs. In order to ...

For a second-order mechanical system incorporating Coulomb frictional effect, a nonlinear adaptive control that achieves a controller-identifier separation is designed. This modularity is made possible by the strong input-to-state stability ISS property ...

Disney's 55th feature animated film Zootopia takes place in a modern animal metropolis. Bringing this bustling city to life required creating a universe in which moose drive cars, lions take selfies and wildebeest herds roam the sidewalks. Many ...

Quantum-dot cellular automata QCA is an emerging technology with the rapid development of low-power high-performance digital circuits. In order to reduce the wire crossings and the number of logic gates in QCA circuits, this paper proposes a full adder ...

In this paper we present the Ant Intelligent Robot (AIR), a miniature mobile platform designed for swarm robotic research and education. The proposed system has a modular and distributed architecture that provides the necessary versatility, robustness ...

Stochastic data for procedural content generation is rarely specified in research, and left up to the game designer. Extending an existing set of levels, however, requires their consideration in order to generate spatially consistent levels. Stochastic ...

As environmental models have become more complicated, we need new tools to analyze and validate these models and to facilitate collaboration among field scientists, observation dataset providers, environmental system modelers, and computer scientists. ...

TESSA is a toolkit for experimenting with sensory augmentation. It includes hardware and software to facilitate rapid prototyping of interfaces that can enhance one sense using information gathered from another sense. The toolkit contains a range of ...

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), often coupled with Key Exchange (KE), offers very strong protection for secure communication and has been recommended by many major governmental and industrial bodies for use in highly sensitive applications. ...

PaGe is a portable, compact and reliable LALR(1) parser generator with more general disambiguation method compared to that of traditional parser generator such as Bison.

From the past to the present, very many parser generators are implemented in ...

We present several measures that can be used in de novo computational design of biological systems with information processing capabilities. Their main purpose is to objectively evaluate the behavior and identify the biological information processing ...

Fast and efficient reduction circuits are critical for a broad range of scientific and embedded system applications. High throughput reduction circuits are typically hand designed for specific vector lengths. These circuits need to be modified when the ...

Big Data Pipelines decompose complex analyses of large data sets into a series of simpler tasks, with independently tuned components for each task. This modular setup allows re-use of components across several different pipelines. However, the ...
