We address the problem of rating or comparing nav,igatiorz crlgorathms, or more generally navigation packages. For a given environment a navigation package consids of a motion planner and a sensor to be used dur.ing navigation. The ability to rate or measure a navigation packnge i s im,portant in order to address issues lake sensor customization for an environmen.t and choice of a rnotion plann...

Parallel Priority Queue (PPQ) data structure supports parallel operations for manipulating data items with keys, such as inserting n new items, deleting n items with the smallest keys, creating a new PPQ that contains a set of items, and melding tow PPQ into one. In this article, we present some recent research works on PPQ which support the simultaneous operations of the k smallest elements, k...

Electrical engineers build a wide variety of systems that use filters, particularly analog filters. Indeed, even numerous computerized signal handling frameworks oftentimes incorporate at least one simple nonstop time channel, either inside or as point interaction with the continuous climate. In this examination, we center around state variable channels involving two Thomas Biquad in 180nm CMOS...

Textile preforms have a multi-scale hierarchy of fibres, tows and plies; geometry at each scale influences the manufacturing processes, permeability textile to resin as well mechanical properties finished laminate. High-fidelity structural models for composites require accurate non-idealised tow changes this during processing. This paper presents CT-based experimental technique capturing realis...

This paper presents a modification of kernel-based Fisher Discriminant Analysis (FDA) for face detection. In face detection problem, it is important to design a twocategory classifier which can decide whether the given input sub-image is a face or not. There is a difficulty to train such tow-category classifiers because the “non face” class includes many images of different kinds of objects and...

Recent research on variable stiffness laminates have shown both numerically and experimentally that further improvement the buckling performance is possible by incorporating overlaps result in thickness profiles. We present concept of overlap-stiffened designs take advantage non-linear coupling between tow steering local thickness, allowing embedded regions higher into individual plies a variab...
