Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to study changes in cerebral blood oxygenation during a verbal fluency task. Five right-handed male volunteers matched on demographic variables and verbal fluency performance participated in the study. Images were acquired over 5 minutes at 1.5 T while the subjects performed two tasks. The first involved paced silent generation of words beginning with an aurally presented cue letter. This task alternated with paced silent repetition of the aurally presented word "rest." Significant responses were observed in the left prefrontal cortex, the insula bilaterally, the midline supplementary motor area, and the medial parietal cortex.

This paper deals with a passive-decomposition based control of bilateral teleoperation between a single master robot and multiple cooperative slave robots under time varying delay in the communication line. At first, we decompose the dynamics of multiple slave robots into two decoupled dynamics: the Shape-system describing dynamics of the cooperative works, and the Locked-system representing overall behavior of the multiple slave robots. Second, we propose a PD control method for bilateral teleoperation to guarantee the asymptotical stability of the system for time varying delay. Finally, experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed teleoperation.

It is well-known that the DoubleMinOver classifier as an extendibility of MinOver was developed to provide a maximum margin solution with a bias. But, it can be found that the DoubleMinOver algorithm only classifies the vector pattern and fails to work in the pattern represented with the second-order tensor. In this paper, we propose a novel DoubleMinOver classifier named STDoubleMinOver that can directly classify the second-order tensor pattern. Compared with the existing DoubleMinOver with only one weight w, the proposed STDoubleMinOver induces two weight vectors u and v so as to deal with the second-order tensor. The experiments here have demonstrated that the proposed STDoubleMinOver has a superior classification to the vectorized DoubleMinOver.

This work develops a novel virtual production control system (VPCS), which is allocated on a manufacturer side to adjust production pace of a supplier using a short-term demand plan for reducing inventory level. In addition to remotely monitoring production progress of a supplier, the proposed VPCS allows manufacturers to pre-schedule the latest outputs using an integer programming model, to simulate the short-term plan by a stochastic colored timed Petri Nets, and to adjust the production pace of the supplier via the plan. An industrial case study shows that the supplier inventory was reduced by 13.8% over that of the real inventory level with an order-fill rate exceeding 99.6% using the proposed VPCS.

Meetings take a large amount of time, and frequently, meeting facilitators are called in to help steer the meeting in the right direction. Unfortunately, facilitation is still something of an art. To assist facilitators, the thinkLet technique has been proposed. Through the use of thinkLets, facilitators may plan the meeting beforehand, deciding which activities to perform at each point. However, designing a meeting is not an easy task, especially for novice facilitators. In this paper we present AgendBuilder, a system to assist the design of meetings, electronic or otherwise, using thinkLets and compatibility rules. The system helps facilitators select and link thinkLets together in and orderly fashion, designing the meeting in the process.

This paper proposes a novel weighted feature fusion in color face recognition (FR) to automatically annotate faces in personal videos. In the proposed FR method, multiple face images (belonging to the same subject) are clustered from a sequence of video frames. To facilitate a complementary effect on improving annotation performance, the grouped faces are combined using the proposed weighted feature fusion. In addition, we make effective use of facial color feature to cope with decrease in annotation performance due to a low-resolution face in personal videos. To evaluate the effectiveness of proposed FR method, more than 40,000 video frames for 10 real-world personal videos are collected from an existing online video sharing website. Experimental results show that the proposed FR method significantly improves annotation performance obtained using conventional grayscale image based FR methods.
