For original paper see ibid., vol 27, p. 686-91, Aug. 1997. In the above paper, a novel algorithm for adaptively updating the parameters of a fuzzy controller was proposed. The purpose of this letter is to point out that this algorithm, and its use, are well known. The authors of the above paper acknowledge the previous use of similar concepts, however this letter draws attention to a particula...

MPEG-2 video communications over ATM networks is one of the most active research areas in the field of computer communications. In this paper, we introduce a set of control mechanisms at different levels of the protocol architecture to be used in MPEG-2-based video communications systems using ATM networks as their underlying transmission mechanism. We argue that in order to be able to create v...

The spherically curved square element phased array design for ultrasound surgery was studied in several of its important aspects. A method for determining the spatial limitations of the multiple-foci region was developed for spherically curved phased arrays. The effects on the ultrasound fields of varying the phases and the amplitudes at control points were investigated. It was found that the p...

The ever-increasing volume of spatial data has greatly challenged our ability to extract useful but implicit knowledge from them. As an important branch of spatial data mining, spatial outlier detection aims to discover the objects whose non-spatial attribute values are significantly different from the values of their spatial neighbors. These objects, called spatial outliers, may reveal importa...
