The periodic channels are introduced on the exit surface of a PC waveguide to create multiple light beams, whose interference leads to the directional emission. In order to improve the quality of the directional emission, coupled PC waveguides with low-loss are designed to make the incident light split into several beams. The simulation results show that the transmission efficiency is greatly enhanced by beam splitting.","PeriodicalId":299418,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130002766","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}

However, if this method can enhance systematic circulation remains unclear. In this pilot study, we designed an ECG-driven sequential muscle stimulation (ESMS) system and investigated if it is potentially capable of augmenting diastolic blood pressure as an alternative to enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). We then used the proposed system to stimulate muscles of the hind limbs of a beagle dog at 36 V, and at the impulse frequency of 40 Hz, 70 Hz, and 100 Hz, respectively, synchronized with ECG ensuring the stimulation at diastole. We observed that ESMS increased diastole/systole pressure ratio of peak and area (DSp and DSa) evidently to 0.87 and 0.33, respectively, at 70 Hz. This encouraging result indicates that the ESMS may change hemodynamics and further study should be carried out to explore the stimulation pattern, target muscle selection, and the benefits of this method on systematic circulation.","PeriodicalId":299418,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121852965","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}

Unfortunately, from the theoretical work of Traynor et al and Mulliner et al and the report of security companies, we can see that the new attack vector is quite real. In this paper we will describe a SMS based heterogeneous mobile botnet model, show how different SMS structures can be exploited for mobile botnets. The goal of our work is to help researchers to understand the mobile botnets, and thus promote the development of countermeasures.

This robot is driven by a screw impeller, which converts rotation to axial motion in two ways: one is through fluid dynamic pressure with fluid film generated hydrodynamically; the other is through direct contact with the mucosal folds and food residue on the intestinal wall. In this paper, the design and fabrication of the capsule robot are presented in brief. A preliminary theoretical model for the working principle of the robot is built, considering both the hydrodynamic effect and the direct contact.

A table-lifting task performed jointly by a human and a humanoid robot is considered. In order to perform the task, the robot should learn to hold the table at a suitable position and then perform the lifting task cooperatively with the human. Accordingly, learning is split into two phases. The first phase enables the robot to reach out and hold one end of the table. A Programming by Demonstration (PbD) algorithm based on GMM/GMR is used to accomplish this. In the second phase the robot switches its role to an agent learning to collaborate with the human on the task. A guided reinforcement learning algorithm is developed. Using the proposed framework, the robot can successfully learn to reach and hold the table and keep the table horizontal during lifting it up with human in a reasonable amount of time.","PeriodicalId":299418,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127817346","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 develop the position domain control, one motion is selected as a master (reference) motion and all other motions are viewed as slave motions. The reference motion is sampled equidistantly in the position domain and used as an independent variable. A dynamic model for the slave motions is developed in the position domain by transforming the original system dynamic equations from the time domain to the position domain. After that, a position domain PD control is proposed, and the stability analysis is conducted based on the Lyapunov function method. The developed position control is applied to linear motion tracking and circular motion tracking, and the comparison study is conducted. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the position PD control compared with traditional PD control and the crossed-coupled control.","PeriodicalId":299418,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132512108","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}
