Recent experiments of the behavior of this classifier in different applications have given encouraging results.

This paper present an empiric way to obtain this minimum number based in the structure of the used database. this method allows us to define a minimum size for the set used in the learning phase of CAP for which the final classification performance will be reasonably stable, optimizing time and computational resources in the process.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114231869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In both algorithms, the watermark sequence is firstly encoded by non-cyclic Low Density Parity Check Codes (LDPC) and then it is embedded into the block-wised Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients using the Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) algorithm. In the watermark extraction process, the first algorithm extracts the watermark sequence using self-synchronization of sum-product decoding. While the second one firstly extracts some synchronization code embedded previously in the regions centered by feature points of the image, and using them block segmentation starting position can be calculated. The desirable performance of both algorithms about the watermark imperceptibility and robustness against cropping attack with different cropping rate is shown, together with computer complexity.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127357244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end a graph is built where the nodes represent each variable and the values associated to it. The links are those non-diagonal elements within ??(?(z)). Then, a decentralization process is applied based on a multi-agent approach where the system is decomposed by assigning a subset of node variables and links to each one of the agents i.e. generator, nodes, lines. Two basic points are observed in the decomposition procedure. First, the agent model is kept simple. Second, the agents’ private data are not intercommunicated. The application of this decomposition has a positive side effect: The complexity of the system, as a result of the network interconnectivity, is converted into local intercommunication tasks.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"60 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123391602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper continues with the description of the project and its design as part of a project to develop an affective virtual guide. The work described herein consists of two parts. The first one is the client, which was developed (using J2ME) for Smart-phones. The client is connected via bluetooth to devices such as RFID and GPS for locating the user. The second one is the server (web-server), which receives requests from the former and these are answered via serv lets, which relay petitions to a relational database. The communication protocol used to communicate the mobile phone with the server is EDGE/3GSM. Finally, an ongoing application is presented: museum guidance for the severely motor-impaired. MPISTE is mounted on a robotic wheelchair which guides the user among the museum’s rooms while providing location-aware interactive audio stories.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126396247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evaluation is intended to demonstrate that a PBC strategy initially designed to control generation at unity power factor can control power exchange at a fixed active power delivery to the grid with different power factors. The system model assumes a wind flow of constant kinetic energy and hence a constant mechanical torque in the turbine shaft. The power network is modeled as an infinite bus connected through a line-impedance to the generator terminals. The obtained results show that the PBC strategy is simple and effective and that the active and reactive power exchange with the power system can be adequately controlled.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130544923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This vector represents an innovative methodology for classification and identification of pieces in robotic tasks, every single stage of the methodology, is described step by step and the proposed algorithms explained. The vector compresses 3D object data from assembly parts and is invariant to scale, rotation and orientation. The approach in combination with the fast learning capability of ART networks indicates the suitability for industrial robot applications as it is shown in experimental results and the possibility to add concatenated information into the descriptor vector to achieve a much more robust methodology.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122253773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DM guides the decision of how to allocate undifferentiated units of capacity to available demand in such a way to maximize revenue. The problem then becomes one of determining how much to sell at what price and to which market segment. The objective of this research project is to present control system approaches to DM with Dynamic Pricing using Fast Model Predictive Control in the Semiconductor Manufacturing arena. Manufacturers of integrated circuits invest billions of dollars in process equipment, and they are interested in obtaining as rapid a return on their investment as possible. Rapid yield learning is thus becoming an increasingly important source of competitive advantage. The sooner a potentially lucrative circuit yields, the sooner the manufacturer can generate a revenue stream.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"207 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122268919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
