The cerebellar deficit hypothesis for developmental dyslexia claims that cerebellar dysfunction causes the failures in the acquisition of visuomotor skills and automatic reading and writing skills. In people with dyslexia in the alphabetic languages, the abnormal activation and structure of the right or bilateral cerebellar lobes have been identified. Using a typical implicit motor learning tas...

Dyslexic and normal readers' eye movements were compared while tracking a moving fixation point and in reading. Contrary to previous reports, the dyslexic and normal readers did not differ in their number of saccades, percentage of regressions, or stability of fixations in the tracking task. Thus, defective oculomotor control was not associated with or a causal factor in dyslexia, and the dysle...

The STEVAL-IPE006V1 is an integrated system designed to provide a complete demonstration of a high-end solution for power metering. It shows no compromise measurement of active, reactive and apparent energies, load management and automatic meter reading via a power line modem, antitampering both on neutral wire and meter box, surge protection and in-application programming. The demonstration bo...

Stationary collectors reading wireless, battery powered smart meters, often operate in harsh channel conditions to cut network installation cost to a minimum, challenging the individual link to each meter. The desired performance measure is reliable reception of at least some data from as many as possible meters, rather than increasing the fraction of received packets from one meter. As a first...

We propose using Power Line Communication (PLC) as a second channel for data origin authentication, and we present a system architecture and protocol for doing so taking advantage of existing infrastructure for communicating over power lines. Our system connects a user’s computer to a secure electric meter in his building via a secure Human Authorization Detector (HAD). The meter, which has a u...

The following problem arose in a project run by Schlumberger Consulting for Illinois Power: Given a geographic region, place the minimum number of receivers (ampliiers) on existing utility poles so that all the region's wireless meters can transmit their reading to at least one. Due to the growing popularity of wireless meter reading, the size of the geographic regions involved, and of the amou...

In nuclear facilities, the reading of sensors is very important in assessments system state. The existence an abnormal state could be caused by a failure sensor itself instead system. So, being unable to identify main cause “abnormal state” and take proper actions may end unnecessary shutdown for facility that have expensive economic consequences. That why, it extremely supervision control case...
