The control algorithm for the 2-D network is described, and the complexities of the 1-D and 2-D architectures are compared. It is shown that the 2-D Benes network has some advantages over the 1-D Benes network. The number of stages in the 2-D network is smaller than the corresponding number in the 1-D network. Also, the 2-D network requires fewer switching modules than the 1-D network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

For the linear system approach, a MIMO (multiinput, multioutput) ARX (autoregressive with exogeneous inputs) model is first tested to get a rough estimation of the system structure and parameters. A general linear input-output MIMO model is then developed, and parameters are estimated by means of the prediction error identification method. Since the complex human musculoskeletal system is almost certainly a nonlinear system, nonlinear system identification is applied and polynomials are used to approximate the nonlinear system functions. For such a MIMO nonlinear system, the parameters to be estimated will number in the thousands or even millions, depending on the polynomial degrees used and the maximum orders of delays. To overcome such numerical difficulties, a forward-regression orthogonal method is used to select only the most significant terms and estimate the corresponding parameters.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

It utilizes a basic and proven property of Hopfield neural networks, i.e. the guaranteed convergence to a local minimum of the Lyapunov energy function. Unlike the previous methods, the new method estimates the in-phase and quadratic components separately and in a parallel manner and combines them to estimate the bearings of plane waves to an array. The connection parameters of the neural networks are calculated for both components with a significant reduction in computation in comparison with the previous methods. Furthermore, the new method is able to estimate the actual magnitude of each bearing component, rather than just its presence. This is accomplished by using the 1984 Hopfield model rather than the 1982 model, as opposed to the previous methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

The algorithm is composed of two parts: (i) an object recognition phase in which the speckle patterns of platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells are identified as contiguous objects: and (ii) a tracking phase in which the maximum likelihood direction is chosen as the best candidate for the velocity vector. The algorithm is able to detect 2-D motion from B-mode images taken at 2 MHz. When 3-D array techniques become available, the algorithm can be easily adapted to detecting 3-D motion. The advantages of this algorithm over existing ones are discussed, with emphasis on accuracy, robustness to background noise, and low computational needs. Both simulated and real data tests and results are presented. Using real data, the algorithm was able to measure the blood flow velocity to 1-pixel/frame accuracy.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201543,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.
