In order to overcome the limitations of purely deductive approaches to the tasks of classification and retrieval from ontologies, inductive (instance-based) methods have been proposed as efficient and noisetolerant alternative. In this paper we propose an original method based on non-parametric learning: the Reduced Coulomb Energy (RCE) Network. The method requires a limited training effort but...

Objectives. To retrospectively compare the results of the MRIA (magnetic resonance index of activity) with a modified MRIA (mMRIA), which was calculated excluding from MRIA formula the data of relative contrast enhancement (RCE). Materials and Methods. MR-E and corresponding endoscopic records of 100 patients were reviewed. MRIA, mMRIA, and SES endoscopic index were calculated for all the patie...

This paper presents a color segmentation method based on RCE neural network for hand image segmentation in the gesture-based human–service robot interaction system. The study on skin color distributions in different color spaces indicates that skin colors cluster in a small region in a color space. The RCE neural network characterizes the skin color distribution region using skin color prototyp...

Interference suppression is one of the important functions for mobile communications and software radio. First, this paper shows a new type of interference suppression method by P-RCE (Probability-Restricted Coulomb Energy) which is applicable to mobile communications and software radio. P-RCE is one of the neural networks and mainly used in the field of pattern classification. Secondly, this p...

Numerical simulation software in the field of aircraft design can be classified as first, second or third generation Multi-Disciplinary Analysis and Optimatzion (MDAO) system. The most challenging task nowadays is to create a third generation MDAO because there are no good-practice rules how to create a useful software system. The prerequisite for a successstory of such a software is a successf...

Having an inexpensive and accurate means to estimate capacity could be put in good use for several purposes: QoS schemes could utilize it to claim the feasible ratio at which video/audio streaming are allowed to transmit, bandwidth estimators could receive help in discriminating between their samples. In this paper, we present RCE (Residual Capacity Estimator), a new scheme able to provide a si...

MVIAC model measurement independent variable...

Service robot technology is progressing at a fast pace. Accurate robot-friendly indoor localization and harmonization of built environ-ment in alignment with digital, physical, social environment becomes emphasized. This paper proposes the novel approach Robot Compatible Environment (RCE) within architectural space. Evolution service robotics connection civil engineering architecture discussed,...

A novel free-standing resonant-cavity-enhanced (RCE) Ge thin-film absorber is designed with a bottom distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) for infrared photodetection at 1550 nm wavelength based on Si substrate. The structure offers high degree of freedom in optimizing the number periods, layer arrangement, and thickness each DBR. SiO2/Si DBR that compatible processing technology used thin film to ...
