In the study of fixed points of an operator it is useful to consider a more general concept, namely coupled fixed point. Edit In this paper, by using notion partial metric, we introduce a metric space $S$-Hausdorff on the set of all close and bounded subset of $X$. Then the fixed point results of multivalued continuous and surjective mappings are presented. Furthermore, we give a positive resul...

The noise of a digital charge coupled device (CCD) detector increases with the readout speed, causing problems in a number of important applications, such as x-ray fluoroscopy and micro-CT. In this paper, we present an approach for the design of a dual-CCD configuration to improve the average signal-to-noise ratio, and hence provide an inexpensive solution within the constraint of the current t...

This paper presents a computer-aided diagnosis for pneumoconiosis radiographs obtained with a common CCD scanner. Since the existing diagnosis systems for pneumo coniosis extract abnormalities of pneumoconiosis from im ages obtained with a special scanner which can appropri­ ately­ apply­ for­ chest­ radiographs,­ it­ is­ difficult­ to­ apply the systems to images obtained with a CCD scanner du...

In this article we present a detailed discussion of noise sources in Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FDOCT) setups. The performance of FDOCT with charge coupled device (CCD) cameras is compared to current standard time domain OCT systems. We describe how to measure sensitivity in the case of FDOCT and confirm the theoretically obtained values. It is shown that FDOCT systems have a ...

• E The rope is tied around a cylindrical pole by dual 6 D.O.F direct drive manipulators. • E The manipulators confirm that the rope is grasped by both hands using the force sensor. • E A flexible object model and a CCD camera vision system are used to recognize the shape of the rope.
