FlexRay is a deterministic communication bus in the automotive context that supports fault-tolerant and high-speed bus system. It operates based on the time-division-multiple-access scheme and allows transmission of eventdriven and time-driven messages between nodes in a system. A FlexRay bus has two periodic segments which form a bus cycle: static segment and dynamic segment. Such a bus system...

Abstract This paper is a first attempt to provide quantitative evaluation of consumer well-being resulting from the UK Soft Drinks Industry Levy introduced in April 2018. Using model setup that encompasses both normal case and Giffen for sugary drinks consumption, computational exercise performed quantify welfare social loss variety household incomes. The demonstrates introduction soft levy res...

ABSTRACT The benefits of using a laser in soft tissue treatment include less oedema, reduced inflammation, and quicker recovery. Nowadays, soft-tissue interventions, including periodontal recontouring, operculectomy, or frenectomy, are possible thanks to the introduction diode lasers that strongly absorbable melanin haemoglobin. In this case, 17-year-old patient at near end her orthodontic was ...

This paper describes mechanical modeling of soft-fingered grasping and manipulation. Here, we used a simple hand consisting of a pair of 1-DOF rotational fingers with hemispherical soft fingertips to investigate the mechanics of soft-fingered grasping and manipulation. Based on the observations of soft-fingered grasping and manipulation, we propose a parallel distributed model with tangential d...

This paper explores the use of a character segment based character correction model, language modeling, and shallow morphology for Arabic OCR error correction. Experimentation shows that character segment based correction is superior to single character correction and that language modeling boosts correction, by improving the ranking of candidate corrections, while shallow morphology had a smal...

This paper focus on dynamic visual seroving of a cable-driven soft robotic manipulator system. The soft robotic manipulator has no rigid structure. Based on Lagrange mechanics, kinetic energy, elastic potential energy and gravitational potential energy of each segment are analyzed, thus general dynamic equation of the soft robotic manipulator is obtained. On this basis, a depth-independent imag...

We present Segment-level Neural CRF, which combines neural networks with a linear chain CRF for segment-level sequence modeling tasks such as named entity recognition (NER) and syntactic chunking. Our segment-level CRF can consider higher-order label dependencies compared with conventional word-level CRF. Since it is difficult to consider all possible variable length segments, our method uses s...

This paper presents a mechanism for implementing mixtures at a phone-subsegment (microsegment) level for continuous word recognition based on the Stochastic Segment Model (SSM). We investigate the issues that are involved in trade-oos between trajectory and mixture modeling in segment-based word recognition. Experimental results are reported on DARPA's speaker-independent Resource Management co...

Extracting opinion expressions from text is usually formulated as a token-level sequence labeling task tackled using Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). CRFs, however, do not readily model potentially useful segment-level information like syntactic constituent structure. Thus, we propose a semi-CRF-based approach to the task that can perform sequence labeling at the segment level. We extend the o...
