A robotic assistance system is presented which enables a human to handle unwieldy long objects by providing only one point of support. The robot grasps one end of the object and helps the human operator carry it at the other end. The proposed control method uses a virtual nonholonomic constraint. The movement of the object is constrained as if it were being carried on a wheel attached to the ob...

For any integer N > 1, we construct feedback with carry shift registers over Z/(N) (N -FCSRs). The case when N is a prime, was investigated by Klapper and Goresky [1, 2]. We present the basic properties of N -FCSRs. We solve the register synthesis problem: given a small number of symbols of a sequence over Z/(N) synthesize the smallest N -FCSR that outputs the sequence.

In this paper we investigate graph-based minimum-adder integer multipliers using carry-save adders. The previously proposed approaches use carry-propagation adders with two inputs and one output and are not suitable for carry-save adder implementation when we have a single input and a carry-save output of the multiplier. Using carry-save adders avoids carry propagation and will result in a high...

We performed the measurement of the inclusive electron scattering off the proton [1, 2] in the resonance region (W < 2.5 GeV) at momentum transfer Q below 4.5 (GeV/c) with the CLAS detector. The large acceptance of CLAS provided an access to a large, continuous two-dimensional kinematic domain in Q and x, allowing therefore an integration of the data at fixed Q over x-interval. The covered x-in...

The paper deals with the question whether logical truth carry information. On the one hand it seems that we gain new information by drawing inferences or arriving at some theorems. On the other hand the formal accounts of information and information content which are most widely known today say that logical truth carry no information at all. The latter is shown by considering these accounts. Th...

We present the logic analysis, circuit implementation and verification of a novel selftimed adder scheme based on Carry Select (CS) logic. The preliminary analysis of the variabletime behavior of CS logic justifies the design of self-timed CS adders, and identifies the best choice for the block size to optimize the average performance. Hence we describe the logic design and full-custom circuit ...

the aphidiine parasitoids (hym., braconidae) attacking the pest aphids on various pome and stone fruit trees in different parts of iranwere studied. a total of 13 species belonging to seven genera of aphid parasitoids were identified in association with 17 aphid species on 10 different species of fruit trees. sixty nine tritrophic associations were detected from the studied area of which 25 ass...

Although the majority of concept-learning systems previously designed usually assume that their training sets are well-balanced, this assumption is not necessarily correct. Indeed, there exist many domains for which one class is represented by a large number of examples while the other is represented by only a few. The purpose of this paper is 1) to demonstrate experimentally that, at least in ...

We present a novel application of ILP to the problem of diterpene structure elucidation from 13 C NMR spectra. Diterpenes are organic compounds of low molecular weight that are based on a skeleton of 20 carbon atoms. They are of signiicant chemical and commercial interest because of their use as lead compounds in the search for new pharmaceutical eeectors. The structure elucidation of diterpene...

The contribution of this paper is twofold: (1) to formulate a fusion problem encountered in the design of a multi-modal identity veriication system as a particular classiication problem, (2) to propose a simple classiier to solve this problem. The multi-modal identity veriication system under consideration is built of d modalities in parallel, each one delivering as output a scalar number, call...
