Collision avoidance systems can play a vital role in reducing the number of accidents and saving human lives. In this paper, we introduce and validate a novel method for vehicles reactive collision avoidance using evolutionary neural networks (ENN). A single front-facing rangefinder sensor is the only input required by our method. The training process and the proposed method analysis and valida...

Continuous Collision Detection (CCD) between deforming triangle mesh elements in 3D is significant in many computer and graphics applications, such as virtual surgery, simulation and animation. Although CCD is more accurate than discrete methods, its application is limited mainly due to its time-consuming nature. To accelerate computation, we present an efficient CCD method to perform both inte...

conclusions higher age of cyclists and increasing speed of the accident opponent significantly increase the likelihood of sustaining facial fractures. the use of bicycle helmets does not significantly reduce the incidence of mid-facial fractures, while being correlated with an even increased incidence of mandibular fractures. background the effectiveness of bicycle safety helmets in preventing ...

The interaction of laser pulses of picosecond duration and terawatt to petawatt power accelerated for the very fast undistorted plasma blocks for deuterium DD or deuterium tritium fast ignition is investigated. Based on the direct and instant conversion of laser energy into mechanical motion by nonlinear (ponderomotive) forces, any thermal pressure generation is delayed by the collision process...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have emerged as popular and affordable solution for object identification in the recent years. One of the significant performance issues in these systems is to resolve the RFID Tag collision .Tag Collision happens when more than one tag reflect back a signal at the same time confusing the RFID reader. This collision disturbs the reader’s identificat...

The chemical components in the decoctions of Chinese herbal medicines are not always the same as those in the crude herbs because of the insolubility or instability of some compounds. In this work, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to explore dynamic variation patterns of aconitum alkaloids in...

Lattice gas automata (LGA) model is developed to simulate polymer adsorption process by adding some collision rules. The simulation result of the model is matched with batch experiment and compared with accepted isothermal adsorption equations. They show that the model is viable to perform simulation of the polymer adsorption process. The LGA model is then applied for simulating continuous poly...

In this research, the effect of bubble surface area flux, Sb, and particle size on flotation rate constant, k, of pyrite (FeS2) particles was studied using bubble-particle interactions. The bubble-particle collision, attachment and detachment efficiencies were calculated under different flow regimes. The k increased with increase in the collision efficiency and decreas...
