This paper discusses linear iterative learning and repetitive control, presenting general purpose control laws with only a few parameters to tune. The method of tuning them is straightforward, making tuning easy for the practicing control engineer. The approach can then serve the same function for learning/repetitive control, as PID controllers do in classical control. Anytime one has a control...

Clinical studies on application of functional electrical stimulation (FES) to motor rehabilitation have been increasing. However, muscle fatigue appears early in the course of repetitive movement production training by FES. Although M-wave variables were suggested to be reliable indices of muscle fatigue in long lasting constant electrical stimulation under the isometric condition, the ability ...

One of the focused themes in data mining research is to discover frequent and repetitive patterns from the data. The success of frequent pattern mining (Han, Cheng, Xin, & Yan, 2007) in structured data (e.g., transaction data) and semi-structured data (e.g., text) has recently aroused our curiosity in applying them to multimedia data. Given a collection of unlabeled images , videos or audios, t...

Defining properly the time distribution of a steady-state process is crucial to its management. A common practice assume that process-time normally distributed for repetitive processes (process has constant work-content), and exponentially non-repetitive (memoryless; no characteristic work-content). This dichotomous distinction ignores majority processes, residing in between two extreme scenari...

We have isolated and characterized a family of interspersed repetitive elements which make up about 1% of the mouse genome. The elements represent a group of homologous but non-identical units about 400 bp in length. Individual members of the family show considerable divergence from one another. The spacial relationships between members of the family and a number of other identified mouse seque...
