This paper evaluates the potential for the real-time utilization of high frame rate image sequences using a fully parallel readout system. Multiple readout architectures for high frame rate imaging are compared. The application domain for a fully parallel readout system is identified, and the design for a fully parallel, monolithically integrated smart CMOS focal plane array is presented. This ...

An isosceles triangular frame with rotationally resistive joints under a tip load is studied. The large in-plane deformation elastica equations are formulated. Stability analysis shows the frame can buckle symmetrically or asymmetrically. Post-buckling behavior showing limit load and hysteresis are obtained by shooting and homotopy numerical algorithms. The behavior of a frame with rigid joints...

When performing oscillatory movements of two joints in the sagittal plane, there is a directional constraint for performing such movements. Previous studies could not distinguish whether the directional constraint reflected movement direction encoded in the extrinsic (outside the body) reference frame or in the intrinsic (the participants' torso/head) reference frame since participants performe...

In the Bézier formalism, an arc of a conic is a rational curve of degree 2 with control polygon {P, Q, R} for which the weights can be normalized to {1, w, 1}. The parametrization of the conic arc is C(t) = (1 − t) 2 P + 2wt(1 − t)Q + t 2 R (1 − t) 2 + 2wt(1 − t) + t 2 , t ∈ [0, 1]. Abstract Synthetic derivation of closed for-mulae of the geometric characteristic of a conic given in Bézier form...

Many species navigate in three dimensions and are required to maintain accurate orientation while moving in an Earth vertical plane. Here we explored how head direction (HD) cells in the rat anterodorsal thalamus responded when rats locomoted along a 360° spiral track that was positioned vertically within the room at the N, S, E, or W location. Animals were introduced into the vertical plane ei...

This paper presents a method for synthesizing novel views of moving objects in airborne video. The object of interest is tracked using an appearance based visual tracking method. The on-object point correspondence is then built and used to estimate the homography induced by the ground plane. With known camera focal length, the surface normal to the ground plane and the camera motion between two...

The over-strength coefficient is one of the key factors for seismic safety a structure. For RC frames, infill wall may improve lateral bearing capacity, while demand increases as well, which leads to unexpected performance an infilled frame in past earthquakes. Therefore, it necessary systematically study effect frames from point capacity and demand. In this paper, 36 structures with/without wa...

IN COMMON vectoreardiographic practice, vector loops are recorded in three plalne projections that are perpendicular to one another (frontal, sagittal, and horizontal planes). The arbitrary choice of these planes has been derived from body axes rather than from the spatial orientation of the vectorcardiogram or the heart itself. Several investigators1'-" have proposed, therefore, to replace the...
