The system is called the adaptive context information processing language (ACIPL) which will allow explicit use of states of context inferred from sensor readings and algorithmic output for distributed control of data fusion in sensor networks. The detailed description of the language including its use for sensor information separation into raw sensor data, feature, objects, and events by the language is described. Furthermore the concept of context which aids the modeling of sensor data with the data fusion hierarchy is introduced, including its types, properties and applications. ACIPL loosely follows the Joint Directors of Laboratories' Data Fusion Hierarchy and provides a powerful tool to facilitate the use of smart sensor networks for the purpose of sensor data fusion.","PeriodicalId":254758,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130634233","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}

Amongst, single stranded d(GT)n DNA has been known to efficiently disperse individual-level nanotube and mediate their subsequent chirality separation, when eluted from an anion exchange column at various salt concentrations. However, the cost for typical synthetic oligomer, ranging ~25,000$/g, hinders the bulk-scale solubilization and separation of SWCNTs. In this paper, we present a solubilization and separation study of SWCNTs by using salmon sperm DNA (SaDNA), which costs 20$/g as a byproduct from the fishing industry. We show that the SaDNA exfoliates and disperses SWCNTs on a comparable level to d(GT)n oligomer. The NIR and resonance Raman analysis from the solubilized nanotube samples will be presented along with the chirality dependent separation results from SaDNA mediated SWCNT dispersion.","PeriodicalId":254758,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130718108","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}

Advanced computers can utilize the discipline of classical signal processing whereby providing theoretical mathematical and statistical approaches for information processing, and with the vision of bio-inspired adaptive processing are evolving into neuromorphic integrated sensory processing systems. Numerous MISO (multi-input, single output) sensory applications demand reliable and effective information processing which, at an initial stage may be addressed by solving the key problems of advanced computing platforms, which are: i-massive parallelism; ii-low power consumption of massively large systems; iii-intelligent systems that learn from observations and perform better on the next run; iv-integrated systems for embedded feasibility; and v-systems that adapt to the environment. Thus, our Adaptive Integrated Information Processing (AIIP) approaches, presented in this paper. Two AIIP systems are presented: Neural networks with synaptic plasticity, as our Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), with up to one million inputs, for chemical sensing and detection; and Adaptive Recurrent Dynamic Neural Networks (ARDNNs) for defect tracking, reliable system deployment, and prognosis for telecommunication and similar applications. Further-our presented AIIP systems may provide a viable solution to offering powerful modulation schemes and transmission rates far beyond current possible communications systems.","PeriodicalId":254758,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE National Aerospace and Electronics Conference","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124258250","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}
