This paper describes a new system that analyses tachograph charts. These circular charts are legal records of information on the different types of driver activity (driving, other duty, standby and rest) and vehicle data (speed and distance travelled). As each driver of each passenger and goods vehicle over a certain capacity must use a chart for every 24-hour period, there is a significant nee...

The mechanical properties of seven denture adhesives and eight oral moisturizers, all of which are commercially available, were evaluated using a texture profile analysis. A new assessment chart is proposed for the selection criteria of denture adhesive and oral moisturizers using a radar chart with three axes: hardness, cohesiveness, and adhesiveness.

After total laryngectomy, the placement of a tracheoesophageal (TE) prosthesis offers the possibility to recover a new voice. However, the quality of the resulting TE speech is known to be degraded. To assess a patient’s voice, current approaches rely either on quality-of-life questionnaires or on a perceptual evaluation carried out by speech therapists. These two methods exhibit the disadvanta...

Electronic charts and marine radars are indispensable equipment in ship navigation systems, the fusion display of these two parts ensures that vessel can dangerous moving targets various obstacles on sea. To reduce noise interference caused by external factors hardware, a novel radar image denoising algorithm using concept Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) Wasserstein distance is proposed. G...

In this paper, we propose Thermoscore, a musical score form that dynamically alters the temperature of the instrument/play er interface. We developed the first version of the Thermoscore display by lining Peltier devices on piano keys. The system is controlled by MIDI notes-on messages from an MIDI sequencer, so that a composer can design songs that are sequences of temperature for each piano k...

The Star Plot approach to high-dimensional data visualization is applied to multiattribute dichotomies. It is observed that the areas of the plot for the two parts of a dichotomy may be used as an aggregate measure of their relative dominance. An optimization model is developed to determine a topology (or weighted configuration of the attributes) that maximizes the resolution of this measure wi...

Abstract This article considers the implementation of one ways to visually display analytical data using a radar chart. The scaling and displaying inscriptions images by sectors Bezier curves is described in detail.

This research sought to develop a palliative care measurement tool that could track and measure the rendering of care by informal caregivers to dying persons across the diversity of South African cultural and religious groups. This mixed method research led to the development of an instrument consisting of a one-dimensional domain, eight sub-items and 56 scores against which care can be numeric...
