In philosophy of language, the phenomena fundamental to human communication are routinely modeled in ways that do not require commitment to a concept of “information” separate from those of “data,” “meaning,” “communication,” “knowledge,” and “relevance” (inter alia). A taxonomy of conceptions of information may be developed that relies on commonly drawn philosophical distinctions (between ling...

In this paper, an imaging chip for acquiring range information using by 0.35 μm CMOS technology and 5V power supply has been described. The system can extract range information without any mechanical movement and all the signal processing is done on the chip. All of the image sensors and mixed-signal processors are integrated in the chip. The design range is 1.5m-10m with 18 scales.

A 63-year-old woman presented with a history of hyperthyroidism symptoms over two years, referred for thyroid scintigraphy. In the hospital archives we have met her previous thyroid scintigraphy showing a hot nodule in the upper part of right thyroid lobe. However, her recent thyroid scintigraphy was showing only cold nodules but no hot nodule, giving an impression that she had some treatment t...

Information causality is a physical principle which states that the amount of randomly accessible data over classical communication channel cannot exceed its capacity, even if sender and receiver have access to source nonlocal correlations. This can be used bound nonlocality quantum mechanics without resorting full formalism, with notable example reproducing Tsirelson's Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Ho...

A lgorithms—can’t live without ’em; can’t find ’em. Or, at any rate, can’t find that one you want when you have a problem in mind and suspect that someone else long-ago published a solution. Here, then, are two books with very different approaches to this algorithm recall problem. Encyclopedia of Algorithms is a massive book, organized alphabetically into some 400 entries, each two to three pag...

This paper presents a parallel control algorithm for pattern understanding using a sematic network formalism for knowledge representation. Anytime capabilities, which are important for real world applications, are achieved by the use of iterative optimization techniques, like e.g. genetic algorithms, and the parallel processing of knowledge. First results from an application of the algorithm in...

Nowadays, the most generated electrical energy is consumed by three-phase induction motors. Thus, in order to carry out preventive measurements and maintenances and eventually employing high-efficiency motors, the efficiency evaluation of induction motors is vital. In this paper, a novel and efficient method based on Improved Big Bang-Big Crunch (I-BB-BC) Algorithm is presented for efficiency e...
