An autonomous household robot passively observes the environment while navigating, possibly while performing other tasks, and has spare processing power to identify the different objects it encounters. For example, while setting the table for breakfast, the robot might spot a cup somewhere. Later, when the robot is asked to fetch a cup, it does not need to actively start searching for it, but i...

Selfridge [2,3], along with Sutherland [4] and Marr [5,6] provided some of the earliest proposals for how to program computers to recognize shapes. Their emphasis on filtering for contour features, especially the orientation of boundary segments, was reinforced by the Nobel Prize winning work of Hubel & Wiesel [7,8] who discovered that neurons in primary visual cortex selectively respond as a f...

Including world-sheet orientation-reversing automorphisms in the orbifold program, we recently reported the twisted operator algebra and twisted KZ equations in each open-string sector of the general WZW orientation orbifold. In this paper we work out the corresponding classical description of these sectors, including the WZW orientation-orbifold action – which is naturally defined on the solid...

What motivates firms to develop Internet-enabled interfirm communication? We draw upon the work of Alavi et al. (2005–2006) and propose that the use of the Internet in interfirm communication is influenced by a firm’s firm orientation and its internal communities of practice. Based on data collected from 307 international trade firms in the Beijing area, we find that Internet-enabled interfirm ...

One of the emerging research areas in the strategic orientation is how to transfer different orientations from the commercial sector to the non-profit sector. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the mediating effect of Learning Orientation on the Market Orientation, Social Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Organizational Performance in the non-profit sector. The data from more...

for a graph g, let d(g) be the set of all strong orientations of g. the orientationnumber of g is min {d(d) |d belongs to d(g)}, where d(d) denotes the diameterof the digraph d. in this paper, we determine the orientation number for some subgraphs of complete bipartite graphs.

In this work, the simulation results from a program developed for the three-dimensional analysis of compression molding of thermoset composites were compared to the experimental results of an actual molded thermoset sample. The program predicts the flow pattern, fiber orientation, fiber length distribution, curing of the resin and mechanical properties. The comparison between simulation and exp...

Reconstruction from images has become a popular and inexpensive method of building 3D scenes. For this method to work, one has to determine the position and orientation of the camera at which the images where taken. Although the camera orientation can be done fully automatically, the results are sometimes inaccurate and incomplete. These problems can be solved by manual interactions. We present...
