The use of a small number of Electromyography (EMG) channels for classifying the finger movement is a challenging task. This paper proposes the recognition system for decoding the individual and combined finger movements using two channels surface EMG. The proposed system utilizes Spectral Regression Discriminant Analysis (SRDA) for dimensionality reduction, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) for c...

We present the design and evaluation of a high fidelity surfacehaptic device. The user slides a finger along a glass plate while friction is controlled via the amplitude modulation of ultrasonic vibrations of the plate. A non-contact finger position sensor and low latency rendering scheme allow for the reproduction of fine textures directly on the bare finger. The device can reproduce features ...

Detection of similarity is particularly difficult for small proteins and thus connections between many of them remain unnoticed. Structure and sequence analysis of several metal-binding proteins reveals unexpected similarities in structural domains classified as different protein folds in SCOP and suggests unification of seven folds that belong to two protein classes. The common motif, termed t...

In this paper, we propose a novel interactive projection system (IPS), which enables bare-finger touch interaction on regular planar surfaces (e.g., walls, tables), with only one standard camera and one projector. The challenge of bare-finger touch detection is recovering the touching information just from the 2-D image captured by the camera. In our method, the graphical user interface (GUI) b...

Dietary quality should be taken into consideration for maintaining overall maximization of human health and solving the problem of deep rooted food insecurity and malnutrition so millet has good option to overcome it. Millets are small seeded and minor cereals of the grass family (Poaceae) and are characterized by their ability to survive in less fertile soil, resistance to pests and diseases, ...

83 ABSTRACT Amputation of a finger can lead to functional, psychological and social problems. Since decades, many treatment modalities have been tried for the rehabilitation of varying degrees of defect which range from self or adhesive retained acrylic or silicone prosthesis to osseointegrated implant retained finger prosthesis. Unfortunately, none of the treatment options has gained much acce...

Methionine aminopeptidase type 1 (MetAP1) cotranslationally removes N-terminal methionine from nascent polypeptides, when the second residue in the primary structure is small and uncharged. Eukaryotic MetAP1 has an N-terminal zinc finger domain not found in prokaryotic MetAPs. We hypothesized that the zinc finger domain mediates the association of MetAP1 with the ribosomes and have reported gen...

Bennett's fracture is the retention of bone to which beak ligament attached, and dorsoradial proximal subluxation base metacarpal detached from this part. Key features are intra-articular fracture, oblique pattern, volar-dorsal fragment. The medial small piece remains in place maintains its relationship with second finger via volar ligament.
