In this paper, we propose a novel method for real-time three-dimensional (3-D) object tracking based on integration of 3-D range and color information. To get 3-D range and color information simultaneously, our method utilizes the Microsoft Kinect sensor which is composed of dept. and color cameras. 3-D range and color information are integrated using the estimated dept. and color cameras intrinsic parameters and relative transformation between the cameras. The target region can be tracked by processing dept. pixels with color information. Through experiment in real environment, we confirm the validity of our method.

X-rays have been valuable to a large number of fields including Science, Medicine, and Security. Yet, the availability of a compact high-spectral brilliance X-ray sources is limited. A technique to produce X-rays with spectral brilliance ℬ ∼ 1012 photons.(mm-mrd)−2. (0.1% BW)−1.s−1 is discussed. The method is based on the generation and acceleration of a low-emittance field-emitted electron bunches. The bunches are then focused on a diamond crystal thereby producing channeling radiation. In this paper, after presenting the overarching concept, we discuss the generation, acceleration and transport of the low-emittance bunches with parameters consistent with the production of high-brilliance X-rays through channeling radiation. We especially consider the example of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) currently in construction at Fermilab where a proof-of-principle experiment is in preparation.

This paper presents efficient processing engines for software-defined radio (SDR) front-ends. These engines, based on a polyphase channelizer, perform arbitrary sample-rate changes, frequency selection, and bandwidth control. This paper presents an M-path polyphase filter bank based on a modified N-path polyphase filter. Such a system allows resampling by arbitrary ratios while performing baseband aliasing from center frequencies at Nyquist zones that are not multiples of the output sample rate. This resampling technique is based on sliding cyclic data load interacting with cyclic-shifted coefficients. A non-maximally-decimated polyphase filterbank (where the number of data loads is not equal to the number of M subfilters) processes M subfilters in a time period that is less than or greater than the M data loads. A polyphase filter bank with five different resampling modes is used as a case study for embedded resamp/ing in SDR front-ends. These modes are (i) maximally decimated, (ii) Under-decimated, (iii) over-decimated, and combined up- and down-sampling with (iv) single stride length, and (v) multiple stride lengths. These modes can be used to obtain any required rational sampling rate change in an SDR front-end based on a polyphase channelizer. They can also be used for translation to and from arbitrary center frequencies that are unrelated to the output sample rates.

Trajectory extrapolation is important for stability analysis and control of modern power systems. Many functions such as security warning and time-delay compensation for wide-area feedback control can be developed through trajectory extrapolation. But as of now, there are no effective methods to extrapolate power system trajectories except for time-consuming numerical integration methods. The difficulties for trajectory extrapolation in power systems lie within the fact that the underlying dynamic equations are nonlinear, and thus analytical solutions are not possible. In this paper, a method is proposed to approximate the analytical solution of power system dynamics, by which trajectories can be extrapolated. First, the dynamic equations of power system are modified to an equivalent set of equations by polynomial projection technique. Based on the modified equations, an approximate analytical solution is obtained using algebraic Picard iteration without integration operation. This solution depends on the initial values and can be used for on-line trajectory extrapolation. Following a disturbance, with values at the instant of disturbance clearance known (i.e. through PMU - measurements), one can easily extrapolate the system trajectory by extending the approximate analytical solution and updating initial values. Finally, some simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.

The testing of cyber-physical systems requires validating device functionality for a wide range of operating conditions. The environment with which the cyber-physical device interacts, such as lungs for a medical ventilator device or a busy freeway for an autonomous vehicle, may be complex and subsequently difficult to explore all possible configurations. computer simulations that utilize device and environment behavioral models may be used as a first stage of testing, but at some point development must occur using the real device running in real-time. We present a codesign framework for aiding cyber-physical device development where real devices or prototypes are connected to real-time models that simulate the interacting environment. Such test setups are known as digital mockups and allow for testing environment scenarios that are hard to capture with commonly-used but limited physical mockups. The framework supports model hardware/software codesign to enable models of varying speed and accuracy to be implemented within an embedded processor or as a custom coprocessor circuit on an FPGA. We describe an accompanying tool that generates code templates to reduce the time required to develop digital mockup test setups. We utilize the framework to build a digital mockup test setup for a commercial ventilator, and showcase codesign capabilities by implementing environmental models as both circuits and as instructions on a processor.

We study the robustness of the inverse perturbation solution in discrete-time systems modeled by homogeneous Markov chains. We cast the optimal inverse perturbation control as a strictly convex optimization problem, which admits a unique global solution. We show that the optimal inverse perturbation control is robust to estimation errors in the original network. The derived results are applied to the Human melanoma gene regulatory network, where the aim is to force the network to converge to a desired steady-state distribution of gene regulation.

Handover delay in mobile communication causes degradation in system performance, especially when implemented in real-time applications. The first and most consuming phase in the handover process is the scanning phase. This paper focuses on the trigger and the sequence in which the scanning is done to optimize this process. In this paper, a scanning and handover triggering scheme is proposed. It combines between the multi-scanning concept and the dynamic adaptation of the scanning activity triggering according to the changing down rate of the signal strength of the serving base stations. In addition, an adaptive handover threshold is considered to adapt the handover triggering. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme reduces the handover delay and enhances the resources utilization.
