Probabilistic Roadmaps for Path Planning in High-Dimensional Configuration Spaces

by Lydia Kavraki, Petr Svestka, Jean-claude Latombe, Mark Overmars - IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION , 1996
"... A new motion planning method for robots in static workspaces is presented. This method proceeds in two phases: a learning phase and a query phase. In the learning phase, a probabilistic roadmap is constructed and stored as a graph whose nodes correspond to collision-free configurations and whose edg ..."

A Practical Guide to Wavelet Analysis

by Christopher Torrence, Gilbert P. Compo , 1998
"... A practical step-by-step guide to wavelet analysis is given, with examples taken from time series of the El Nio-- Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The guide includes a comparison to the windowed Fourier transform, the choice of an appropriate wavelet basis function, edge effects due to finite-length t ..."

intervals. It is shown that smoothing in time or scale can be used to increase the confidence of the wavelet spectrum. Empirical formulas are given for the effect of smoothing on significance levels and confidence intervals. Extensions to wavelet analysis such as filtering, the power Hovmller, cross

Capacity of a Mobile Multiple-Antenna Communication Link in Rayleigh Flat Fading

by Thomas L. Marzetta, Bertrand M. Hochwald
"... We analyze a mobile wireless link comprising M transmitter and N receiver antennas operating in a Rayleigh flat-fading environment. The propagation coefficients between every pair of transmitter and receiver antennas are statistically independent and unknown; they remain constant for a coherence int ..."

A framework for information systems architecture.

by J A Zachman - IBM Syst. J., , 1987
"... With increasing size and complexity of the implementations of information systems, it is necessary to use some logical construct (or architecture) for defining and controlling the interfaces and the integration of all of the components of the system. This paper defines information systems architect ..."

Brain magnetic resonance imaging with contrast dependent on blood oxygenation.

by S Ogawa , T M Lee , A R Kay , D W Tank - Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA , 1990
"... ABSTRACT Paramagnetic deoxyhemoglobin in venous blood is a naturally occurring contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By accentuating the effects of this agent through the use of gradient-echo techniques in high fields, we demonstrate in vivo images of brain microvasculature with imag ..."

the vessel wall. This increase in the number of spins affected by deoxyhemoglobin is a form of amplification. When the susceptibility-induced local field differences exist within an imaging voxel, there is a resultant distribution of shifts in water resonance frequencies. In the gradient-echo method, a phase

Measuring phase-synchrony in brain signals

by Eugenio Rodriguez, Jacques Martinerie, Francisco J. Varela - Hum. Brain Mapp , 1999
"... r r Abstract: This article presents, for the first time, a practical method for the direct quantification of frequency-specific synchronization (i.e., transient phase-locking) between two neuroelectric signals. The motivation for its development is to be able to examine the role of neural synchronie ..."

coherence, PLS separates the phase and amplitude components and can be directly interpreted in the framework of neural integration. To validate synchrony values against background fluctuations, PLS uses surrogate data and thus makes no a priori assumptions on the nature of the experimental data. We also

Experimental verification of a negative index of refraction,”

by R A Shelby , D R Smith , S Schultz - Science, , 2001
"... Abstract: We studied a two-dimensional square-lattice photonic crystal with all-angle negative refraction at its first band. Using this photonic crystal, we designed and fabricated a flat lens functioning as a cylindrical lens by increasing the vertical dimension of the photonic crystal. Twodimensi ..."

Learning and Recognizing Human Dynamics in Video Sequences

by Christoph Bregler , 1997
"... This paper describes a probabilistic decomposition of human dynamics at multiple abstractions, and shows how to propagate hypotheses across space, time, and abstraction levels. Recognition in this framework is the succession of very general low level grouping mechanisms to increased specific and lea ..."

DIVA: A Reliable Substrate for Deep Submicron Microarchitecture Design

by Todd M. Austin - In Proc. 32nd Annual Intl. Symp. on Microarchitecture , 1999
"... Building a high-petformance microprocessor presents many reliability challenges. Designers must verify the correctness of large complex systems and construct implementations that work reliably in varied (and occasionally adverse) operating conditions. To&rther complicate this task, deep submicro ..."

Thefunctional checker verifies the correctness of the core processor’s computation, only permitting correct results to commit. Overall design cost can

A New Solution to the Coherence Problems in Multicache Systems
