This paper uses (linearized) Kalman filters to estimate first-order geometric parameters (i.e., orientation of contact normals and location of contact points) that occur in force-controlled compliant motions. The time variance of these parameters is also estimated. In addition, transitions between contact situations can be monitored. The contact between the manipulated object and its environmen...

Background: Stroke mimic is a major diagnostic challenge and may be difficult to distinguish from real strokes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative frequency of stroke mimics in patients with clinical signs of stroke. Methods: In this cross sectional-study, the medical records of 1985 patients with stroke admitted to Poursina Hospital were enrolled using the census technique. ...

background: previous literatures have shown a transient ischemic attack  (tia) mimic rate  of 9-31%. we aimed  to ascertain the proportion of stroke mimics amongst suspected tia patients. methods: a prospective observational study was performed in   ghaem   hospital,   mashhad,   iran   during   2012-2013. consecutive tia patients  were identified in a stroke center. the  initial diagnosis  of ...
