framework for all R&A sys~ terns, We describe a novel software framework, based on the notion of dynamically reconfigurable software for sensor-based control systems. Tools to support the implementation of this framework have been built into the Chimera 3.0 Real-Time Operating System. The framework

of temperature, pressure and vibration; or real-time area video surveillance). Thus they must operate under a set of unique constraints and requirements. For example, in contrast to many other wireless devices (e.g., cellular phones, PDAs, and laptops), in which energy can be recharged from time to time

In many applications involving continuous data streams, data arrival is bursty and data rate fluctuates over time. Systems that seek to give rapid or real-time query responses in such an environment must be prepared to deal gracefully with bursts in data arrival without compromising system

dozen time points during a cell cycle. Most previous studies have assessed the inference results on real gene expression data by comparing predicted genetic regulatory interactions with those known from the biological literature. This approach is controversial due to the absence of known gold standards

the operation of the secure co-processor. This paper demonstrates a solution where a programming language system – specifically Lisp 1.5 – is used to provide a convenient and general mechanism for tamper-detecting utilization of a specific resource, namely the memory of an untrusted host. An interpreter

. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a radar infrastructure capable of creating high resolution spatial images. Most SAR processing chains operate on the frequency domain for lower computational demands, but the multi-core era has made time-domain processing feasible. Time-domain SAR processing can be quite

Proceedings of the IEEE January 2003 The paper describes a model-integrated approach for embedded software development that is based on domain-specific, multiple view models used in all phases of the development process. Models explicitly represent the embedded software and the environment

, since the strongmagnetic field required for manipulation interferes with current localization techniques. In this work, we present a novel real-time pose detection strategy that is compatible with magnetic manipulation based on permanent magnets. The localization algorithm combines multiple sensor

This study aimed to assess the value of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Samples from 192 patients with suspected MTB were examined by RT-qPCR and an improved Löwenstein-Jensen (L-J) culture method. To evaluate

of pediatric CAP complicated by parapneumonic effusion/empyema in Canada. METHODS: A convenience sample of pleural fluid from 56 children who had been admitted to hospital in Ontario with CAP complicated by parapneumonic effusion between 2009 and 2011 was examined. Multiple uniplex real-time polymerase chain
