This work provides a feasible solution to the shipborne short landing problem for thrust-vectoring V/STOL vehicles. The takeoff and rolling vertical strategy was designed in this work. First, design reference established by flying performance mission requirements, including performance, deceleration trajectory stability, velocity conversion corridor, using attainable equilibrium set methods bas...

Many stillbirth cases are underor completely uninvestigated, for many reasons, including lack of consent for fetal autopsy. Placental examination is a non-invasive means, by which much information can be gained about adverse pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirth. Complete gross and histologic examination of the placenta can both point out and exclude multiple potential causes for stillbirth....

Achieving short-distance flight helps improve the efficiency of humanoid robots moving in complex environments (e.g., crossing large obstacles or reaching high places) for rapid emergency missions. This study proposes a design flying robot named Jet-HR2. The has 10 joints driven by brushless motors and harmonic drives locomotion. To overcome challenge stable-attitude takeoff small thrust-to-wei...

In this paper, a new feature for text verification is proposed. The difficulties for the selection of features for text verification (FTV) are first discussed, followed by two principles for the FTV: the FTV should minimize the influence of backgrounds, and it should also be expressive enough for all the texts varied in structures prominently. In this paper, we exploit different block partition...

The results of direct thrust measurements the thruster with multiple vectoring capability utilizing Kr are presented. is a 2U size system. tested bi-directional plasma consists head, inbuilt rf generator creating 9 MHz current applied to antenna, power supply for set electromagnets, and control head open-ended gas discharge chamber, antenna. During measurements, magnitude configuration external...

In Free-View Television the viewers select freely the viewing position and angle of the transmitted multiview video. It is apparent that copyright and copy protection problems exist, since a video of this arbitrarily selected view can be recorded and then misused. In this context, the watermark in FTV should not only be resistant to common video processing and multi-view video processing operat...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers in breast cancer patients by subtype. Sixty-four patients with locally advanced breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled in this study. Each patient received a dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-MRI) at baseline, after 1 cycle of chemotherapy and before surgery. Fun...

Considerable improvements of information technologies (IT) allow consumers to enjoy various forms of multimedia services. Recently, 3D video has been established as a new format that provides more realistic and natural experiences to users by free-viewpoint TV (FTV). One of the main challenges is about rendering continuous viewpoint images using color and depth information. Thus, image interpol...

In the subgraph querying problem, given a query graph and a dataset of graphs, we want to locate which graphs in the dataset contain the query and/or find all its occurrences. Over the years, numerous methods, fragmented in 2 categories, were proposed to tackle the problem. In the first category, methods follow the filter-then-verify (FTV) paradigm where an index is used to filter out graphs th...
