This paper proposes a microstrip patch antenna for 2.45 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. To enhance the front-to-back ratio (F/B) and specific absorption rate (SAR), an electrically coupled LC resonator is introduced. The overall dimensions of the proposed antenna are 54 mm × 45 mm × 2.4 mm and it has a gain of over 1 dBi for the entir...

Lane change (LC) is a maneuver that allows drivers to enter into a lane that suits their requirements and comfort. The LC process requires the driver to assess its neighborhood traffic in its original and target lanes before undertaking the maneuver. Other vehicles in the neighborhood also need to adjust for safe lane change. The LC trajectory is determined by the accuracy of these subjective a...

Langerhans cells (LCs) are the unique dendritic cells found in the epidermis. While a great deal of attention has focused on defining the developmental origins of LCs, reports addressing the transcriptional network ruling their differentiation remain sparse. We addressed the function of a group of key DC transcription factors-PU.1, ID2, IRF4, and IRF8-in the establishment of the LC network. We ...

Langerhans cells (LC), the dendritic cells of the epidermis, are distributed in a distinctive regularly spaced array. In the mouse, the LC array is established in the first few days of life from proliferating local precursors, but the regulating signaling pathways are not fully understood. We found that mice lacking the kinase phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 selectively lack LC. Deletion of...

Collaborative and recommendation-based computer systems are plagued by attackers who create fake or malicious identities to gain more influence in the system— such attacks are often referred to as “Sybil attacks”. We propose a new statistical model and associated learning algorithms for detecting Sybil attacks in a collaborative network using network topology, called the latent community (LC) m...

Image-based virtual try-on provides customers with convenient online clothes selections by transferring garments onto a reference person. Despite the emergence of several solutions to generate photo-realistic images and adapt complex poses, controlling clothing length remains challenge. We argue that reconstruction did not consider information, which results in being uncontrollable most methods...

This paper generalizes the idea of “multiple resonance networks” to energy transfers between inductors and between capacitors and inductors, extending the theory about this class of LC lossless circuits. The networks discussed have the property of transferring all the energy initially stored in a particular capacitor or inductor in an LC network to another element in the network, through a line...

This paper describes RULEX, a technique for providing an explanation component for Local Cluster (LC) neural networks. RULEX extracts symbolic rules from the weights of a trained LC net. LC nets are a special class of multilayer perceptrons that use sigmoid functions to generate localised functions. LC nets are well suited to both function approximation and discrete classification tasks. The re...

A CMOS harmonic signal LC oscillator driver for automotive applications working in a harsh environment with high safety critical requirements is described. The driver can be used with a wide range of external components parameters (LC resonance network of a sensor). Quality factor of the external LC network can vary two decades. Amplitude regulation of the driver is digitally controlled and the...
