Project MANEUVER (Manufacturing Education Using Virtual Environment Resources) is developing an affordable virtual reality (VR) framework to address the imminent demand for well-trained digital manufacturing (DM) technicians. MANEUVER project has a set of MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) video contents that provides a process of setting up local VR server, navigating inside 3D environment, interacting with 3D objects, simulating CNC machines and different 3D printer models. The previously stated topics are the list of successfully created MOOC videos that have been deployed on the project MANEUVER website. MANEUVER is developing an innovative multi-modal VR framework for DM instruction. Using a "train-the-trainers" approach, a replicable faculty development model is being developed for secondary and post-secondary institutions. By addressing regional and national entry-level needs of the workforce, the project benefits society and contributes to national economic progress and prosperity.

Adapting detectors to new datasets is needed in scenarios where a user has a specific dataset that contains novel classes or is recorded in a setting where a pretrained detector fails. While detectors based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are state-of-the-art and nowadays publicly available, they suffer from bad generalization capabilities when applied on datasets that notably differ from the one they were trained on. Finetuning the detector is only possible if the dataset is large enough to not destroy the underlying feature representation. We propose a method where only a few prototypes are labeled for training in a semi-supervised manner. In particular, we separate the detection from the classification step to avoid impairing the bounding box proposal generation. Our trained prototype classification network provides labels to automatically source a large dataset containing 20 to 30 times more samples without further supervision, which we then use to train a more powerful network. We evaluate our method on a private vehicle dataset with six classes and show that evaluating on a previously unseen recording site we can gain an accuracy increase of 9% at same precision and recall levels. We further show that finetuning with as few as 25 labeled samples per class doubles accuracy compared to directly using pretrained features for nearest neighbor classification.

This paper presents an advanced fuzzy C-means(FCM) clustering algorithm to overcome the weakness of the traditional FCM algorithm, including the instability of random selecting of initial center and the limitation of the data separation or the size of clusters. The advanced FCM algorithm combines the distance with density and improves the objective function so that the performance of the algorithm can be improved. The experimental results show that the proposed FCM algorithm requires fewer iterations yet provides higher accuracy than the traditional FCM algorithm. The advanced algorithm is applied to the influence of stars' box-office data, and the classification accuracy of the first class stars achieves 92.625%.

The article presents a new strategy of function decomposition, which is aimed at reducing the dynamic power consumption of the obtained logic structures. The essence of this strategy consists in finding decompositions that minimize the number of LUT blocks, and additionally lead to the limitation of the Switching Activity. A key element in the process of searching for such a decomposition is the appropriate selection of the cost function of a given partition of variables. The decomposition of the function is based on the BDD cut, which, with a properly selected cut line and appropriate ordering of variables, leads to effective solutions in terms of power consumption. The article contains a series of experiments showing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
