A multiple-unit artificial retina chipset (MARC) system to benefit the visually impaired is presented. The rehabilitative device replaces the functionality of defective photoreceptors within patients suffering from Retinal Pigmentosa (RP) and AgeRelated Macular Degeneration (AMD). The components of the MARC system are characterized, from the extraocular video camera, video processing chip, and ...

This paper introduces the memory by Association and Reinforcement of Contexts (mARC). mARC is a novel data modeling technology rooted in the second quantification formulation of quantum mechanics. It is an all-purpose incremental and unsupervised data storage and retrieval system which can be applied to all types of signal or data, structured or unstructured, textual or not. mARC can be applied...

Mobile application stores enable end-users of software to directly express their needs and share their experience with mobile apps in the form of textual reviews. These reviews often contain important user feedback that can be leveraged by app developers to help them understand their end-user needs. However, such information are not readily available, and vetting individual reviews manually can...

The authors examine the link between consumption and disaggregate wealth in Canada. They use a vector-error-correction model in which permanent and transitory shocks are identified using the restrictions implied by cointegration proposed by King, Plosser, Stock, and Watson (1991) and Gonzalo and Granger (1995). This procedure allows the authors to identify the reaction of consumption to both ty...

Manuscript received 5-Nov.-2014 and revised 25-Jan.-2015, P-ISSN: 2322-4088 Accepted on 16March-2015 E-ISSN: 2322-3936 Abstract— From practical and theoretical viewpoints, performance analysis of communication systems by using information-theoretic results is important. In this paper, based on our previous work on Multiple Access Channel (MAC) and Multiple Access Relay Channel (MARC), we analyz...

BACKGROUND The recently implemented mARC-rotation-technique is capable to deliver high dose rate bursts. For the case of hypopharynx cancer plans we evaluate whether the mARC can achieve an advantage in treatment time in comparison to IMRT. These plans consider two arcs with flat and flattening filter free (FFF) beam energies. MATERIALS AND METHODS For 8 hypopharynx-cancer patients step-and-s...
