in this paper a practical method for tropospheric effects on gps derived coordinates in absolute mode is presented. gps observations at the permanent gps stations can be used as source of information for the modeling. the developed model is a time-dependent model and as such differs from usual tropospheric models, which are based on atmospheric parameters, i.e. temperature, pressure and humidit...

The hysteresis characteristic of piezoelectric micro-positioning platforms seriously affects its positioning accuracy in precision positioning. It is important to design an effective model and control scheme. Based on the analysis Duhem model, this paper proposes divide curve into two parts, step-up section step-down section, identify parameters, respectively, a hybrid intelligent optimization ...

Introduction: Substantive amount of work has been done in modeling and analyzing the scintillation camera system processes including positioning and image formation. The goal of this work is to develop a framework for analyzing performance of nonlinear positioning methods upon construction of a mathematical model of the system. In this study, the photodetector array counts are ...

The aim of this paper is to discuss the development of an automatic, low-cost system that exploits current or near future wireless communications technology to enable continuous tracking of the location of devices in all environments. The development of such a wireless sensor network involves system design, digital signal processing, protocol development, extraction of ranges and localisation. ...

BACKGROUND Sleep positioning systems can be prescribed for children with cerebral palsy to help reduce or prevent hip migration, provide comfort to ease pain and/or improve sleep. As sleep disturbance is common in children with developmental disabilities, with impact on their carers' sleep, and as sleep positioning systems can be expensive, guidance is needed to support decisions as to their us...

The notion of $f$-derivations of UP-algebras is introduced, some useful examples are discussed, and related properties are investigated. Moreover, we show that the fixed set and the kernel of $f$-derivations are UP-subalgebras of UP-algebras,and also give examples to show that the two sets are not UP-ideals of UP-algebras in general.
