The craze for miniaturization has swept o’er most every nation, but should a hand e’er so slightly tremble no micro-machine can it assemble: and so all those really small bits leave the technicians in fits and the hope for a lab on a chip might seem frightfully flip. Yet, while optical forces are weak they provide the control that we seek. When light’s holographically defined, HOT opportunities...

A digital image stabilization algorithm based on a harmony filter is presented in this paper. The corner points are extracted from the reference image. A new motion estimation method based on diamond search (DS) and partial distortion elimination (PDE) algorithm is proposed in the feature block matching. The global motion parameters are obtained based on the affine transformation model and the ...

Many problems in multiagent learning involve repeated play. As such, naive application of Nash equilibrium concepts are often inappropriate. A recent algorithm in the literature (Stimpson & Goodrich 2003) uses a Nash bargaining perspective instead of a Nash equilibrium perspective, and learns to cooperate in self play in a social dilemma without exposing itself to being exploited by selfish age...

Abstract The societies of honeybees ( Apis spp.) are microcosms divided labour where the fitness interests individuals so closely aligned that, in some contexts, colony behaves as an entity itself. Self-organization at this extraordinary level requires sophisticated communication networks, it is not surprising that celebrated waggle dance , by which bees share information about locations outsid...

Motion blur and signal noise are probably the two most dominant sources of image quality degradation in digital imaging. In low light conditions, the image quality is always a tradeoff between motion blur and noise. Long exposure time is required in low illumination level in order to obtain adequate signal to noise ratio. On the other hand, risk of motion blur due to tremble of hands or subject...
