The axis of the non-diffracting beam produced by an axicon is very stable and can be adopted as the datum line to measure the spatial straightness error in continuous working distance, which may be short, medium or long. Though combining the non-diffracting beam datum-line with LVDT displace detector, a new straightness error measurement method is developed. Because the Non-diffracting beam dat...

Error tolerant backbone resonance assignment is the cornerstone of the NMR structure determination process. Although a variety of assignment approaches have been developed, none works well on noisy automatically picked peaks. We have designed an integer linear programming (ILP) based assignment system (IPASS) for this purpose. In order to reduce size of the problem, IPASS employs probabilistic ...

The goal for the next generation of mobile communications system is to seamlessly integrate a wide variety of communication services such as high speed data, video and multimedia traffic as well as voice signals. The technology needed to tackle the challenges to make these services available is popularly known as the Third Generation (3G) Cellular Systems. One of the most promising approaches t...

As expected, both methods have a higher RMS error for thickness estimation than for surface generation, both produce better results with PVE, and both perform better for the simpler gyral case compared to the sulcal case especially with small sulcal gap or strong asymmetries. Predicted by the sampling theorem, both show a strong increase of RMS error below sampling resolution for thickness meas...

Physical unclonable functions (PUF) extract secrets from randomness inherent in manufacturing processes. PUFs are utilized for basic cryptographic tasks such as authentication and key generation, and more recently, to realize key exchange and bit commitment requiring a large number of error free responses from a strong PUF. We propose an approach to eliminate the need to implement expensive on-...

UNLABELLED Error Correction is important for most next-generation sequencing applications because highly accurate sequenced reads will likely lead to higher quality results. Many techniques for error correction of sequencing data from next-gen platforms have been developed in the recent years. However, compared with the fast development of sequencing technologies, there is a lack of standardize...

An adaptive three-dimensional mesh generation strategy is presented. In contrast to other work which is based on simple meshing techniques, we use advanced unstructured meshing techniques, driven by error estimators, to realize automatic adaptation and guarantee quality. The mesh optimization strategy is based on a classification scheme with a fuzzy indexing for the degree of degeneration of th...

We present four sets of NLP-based exercises for which error correction and feedback are produced by means of a rich database in which linguistic information is encoded either at the lexical or at the grammatical level. One exercise type “Question-Answering” utilizes linguistic knowledge and inferential processes on the basis of the output generated by GETARUN, a system for text understanding. G...

An interval model can express the imprecision and the uncertainty associated to the modeling of a system. The result of the simulation of one of these models can be represented in the form of envelope trajectories. These envelopes can be characterized by several properties such as completeness or soundness, that lead to the concepts of overbounded and underbounded envelopes. The simulation of s...

There has been a spurt of activity in the development of digital wireless transceivers especially those operating in the ISM (Industry Scientific Medical) bands. This is attributed to the fact that wireless systems have become more reliable, compact and easy to develop than ever before, leading to a well-perceived ubiquity. Most manufacturers do not document the error related performance and ch...
