The use of forward error-control (FEC) coding, possibly in conjunction with passive-error recovery techniques, has emerged as a promising approach for real-time video transport over ATM networks for cell loss recovery and/or bit error correction, such as might be required for wireless links. Although FEC provides cell-loss recovery, through its erasure correcting capabilities, it also introduces transmission overhead which can possibly cause additional cell losses. A joint source-channel coding methodology is described to maximize the number of video sources multiplexed at a given quality of service (QoS), measured in terms of overall reproduced video quality. The transport channel is modeled as a block interference channel (BIC) and the multiplexer as a single server, deterministic service, finite buffer supporting N users. Based upon an information-theoretic characterization of the BIC and large deviation bounds on the buffer overflow probability, we describe a methodology that provides theoretically achievable upper limits on the number of sources multiplexed at a given level of performance. Performance of a specific coding technique using an MPEG-2 source encoder and interlaced non-binary Reed-Solomon (RS) channel codes is illustrated and shown to approach the information-theoretic predictions with increasing levels of complexity.

The basal boundary condition for the classical one-dimensional cochlear model was reconsidered. A revision of the basal boundary condition was derived by considering that the movement of the cochlear partition (CP) introduces additional fluid volume displacements to the stapedial pumping of the oval window. A preliminary simulation was constructed to test the effectiveness of this revised basal boundary condition.

The integrated planar resonant/transformer structure analysed is constructed from planar ferrites, conductive layers, leakage layers and slabs of ceramic dielectric. The electromagnetic limits are analysed in terms of the permeabilities, permittivities and conductivities, skin effect, breakdown field and physical dimensions. An example of a converter with an integrated resonant/transformer (LLCT) structure is used to illustrate the analysis. This analysis indicates that the electromagnetic limits results in volumes two orders of magnitude smaller than at present, illustrating that the power density is currently only limited by construction technology. The thermal limit is expected to be the next barrier within one order of magnitude.

The purpose of this paper is twofold: (a) to provide a tutorial introduction to some key concepts from the theory of computational complexity, highlighting their relevance to systems and control theory, and (b) to survey the relatively recent research activity lying at the interface between these fields. We begin with a brief introduction to models of computation, the concepts of undecidability, polynomial-time algorithms, NP-completeness, and the implications of intractability results. We then survey a number of problems that arise in systems and control theory, some of them classical, some of them related to current research. We discuss them from the point of view of computational complexity and also point out many open problems. In particular, we consider problems related to stability or stabilizability of linear systems with parametric uncertainty, robust control, time-varying linear systems, nonlinear and hybrid systems, and stochastic optimal control.

This paper proposes a genetic-based algorithm for surface reconstruction of three-dimension (3-D) objects from a group of contours representing its section plane lines. The algorithm can optimize the triangulation of the surface of 3-D objects with a multi-objective optimization function to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. Further, a new crossover operator for triangulation and a new 3-D quadrilateral mutation operator are also introduced.

In this paper, we propose a character processing system (undefined character processing system) that handles characters for which fonts or character code systems have not been provided on the terminals (undefined characters). The undefined characters include characters historically not inst.lled in the input/output environment, such as ancient characters or characters used by minority groups, and characters not used in a particular language system environment. The proposed system uses morphology to analyze the structures of the target undefined characters, generates codes which describe the characters' shapes based on the analysis results, and reconstructs the characters from these codes. A prototype of this system was constructed. The results of the structural analysis of the undefined characters and their reconstructions verified the effectiveness of the proposed system.

The idea of approximate rotations has been introduced by J. Gotze and G. Hekstra. G. Hekstra and E. Deprettere extended the concept to orthogonal fast rotations and formalized the concept by providing a fast rotation theory. In this theory, the emphasis has been on fast rotation, whereas fast rotation-based vectorization has only been considered in an approximating sense in examples published by J. Gotze and G. Hekstra. The formalization of fast rotation-based vectorization is the subject of this paper. The few known approximate fast vectorization algorithms are special cases of the generic fast rotation-based vectorization algorithm proposed in this paper.
The paper is concerned with the effective and efficient processing of spatiotemporal selection queries under varying degrees of approximation. Such queries may employ operators like overlaps, north, during, etc., and ...

In Reverse engineering, laser scanners are commonly used since they can sample 3D data fast and very accurately relative to other systems. Laser scanner systems, however, yield an enormous amount of irregular and scattered digitized point data that requires intensive processing in order to reconstruct the surface of the object. It appears that combining 3D scanned data with 2D intensity images can significantly improve the reconstruction process. This paper proposes a new adaptive reconstruction method that integrates information from a CCD camera with scanned laser data. The method is based on: (a) Detecting a 3D boundary of the parametric base surface. (b) Adaptively reconstructing a parametric base surface with a non-self-intersecting grid. (c) Calculating the parameterization of the 3D sampled points. (d) Fitting the surface by applying a least square (LSQ) approximation method with boundary constraints. The feasibility of the parameterization algorithm is demonstrated on sculptured free objects.
