چکیده
A wide variety of everyday objects consist of textile fibers (clothes, wall paper, chairs). Their primary purpose is structural and aesthetic. Fibers can have added functions by the integration of computing power into the material that forms them. The purpose of the Fiber Computing project is to integrate this new dimension of functionality into fibers, thus turn everyday objects into artifacts. Initial step is selection of materials and development of fibers. Into the microstructure of selected fibers, the basic unit of standard computation, the transistor will be implemented. This is done by doping of individual grains within the microstructure, which results in junctions necessary for making a transistor. At the moment, we are in favor of parallel, distributed, fault-tolerant and configurable architectures. Configurable fibers can be interwoven into everyday objects to create artifacts, which could be interconnected with each other.

Mechanical Properties of Irregular Fiber (Invited Review Paper)
Irregularities are inherent to virtually all fibers, including the conventional textile fibers, the high-performance brittle fibers and newly developed nano-fibers. These irregularities can fall into two main categories: dimensional or geometrical irregularity (external) and structural irregularity (internal). For natural fibers such as wool, diameter variation along fiber length is atypical ex...

High-Speed Interrogation for Large-Scale Fiber Bragg Grating Sensing
A high-speed interrogation scheme for large-scale fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing arrays is presented. This technique employs parallel computing and pipeline control to modulate incident light and demodulate the reflected sensing signal. One Electro-optic modulator (EOM) and one semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) were used to generate a phase delay to filter reflected spectrum form multipl...
متن کاملFiber Bundle Estimation and Parameterization
Individual white matter fibers cannot be resolved by current magnetic resonance (MR) technology. Many fibers of a fiber bundle will pass through an individual volume element (voxel). Individual visualized fiber tracts are thus the result of interpolation on a relatively coarse voxel grid, and an infinite number of them may be generated in a given volume by interpolation. This paper aims at crea...
