Many computer vision and pattern recognition problems may be posed by defining a way of measuring dissimilarities between patterns. For many types of data, these dissimilarities are not Euclidean, and may not be metric. In this paper, we provide a means of embedding such data. We aim to embed the data on a hypersphere whose radius of curvature is determined by the dissimilarity data. The hypersphere can be either of positive curvature (elliptic) or of negative curvature (hyperbolic). We give an efficient method for solving the elliptic and hyperbolic embedding problems on symmetric dissimilarity data. This method gives the radius of curvature and a method for approximating the objects as points on a hyperspherical manifold. We apply our method to a variety of data including shape-similarities, graph-similarity and gesture-similarity data. In each case the embedding maintains the local structure of the data while placing the points in a metric space.

In this paper, the cause of significant variation in sensing responses of identical QCM sensors array in a circular QCM chamber is analyzed by fluid dynamic simulation. Moreover, the simulation is used to determine an appropriate shape of flow chamber for QCM sensor array. Simulation results show that the flow in a circular-shaped QCM chamber design is primarily turbulent. In addition, the degree of turbulence is increased with flow rate. Thus, sensors at various locations see different sample dispersions causing their sensing behaviors to be significantly different. The QCM chamber has been redesigned to be rectangular line and simulation results indicate that it can be the solution to the problem because flow in the new design is primarily laminar with uniform sample velocity.

The problem of driving a formation from an initial to a target configuration while under the effect of external disturbances is studied. Additional restrictions on agent sensing as well as inter-agent communication must be satisfied. We present a leader-follower solution that relies on a simple uncertainty model to trigger surfacing events. These events are then used to update the control signal, for which two different, provably correct, control strategies are proposed. Finally, we show how the surfacing events can be used to characterize the disturbance set. Numerical examples on relevant scenarios are also provided.

In this paper we show how the decentralized estimation of the spectrum of a network can be used to infer its controllability and observability properties. The proposed approach is applied to networked multi-agent systems whose local interaction rule is based on Laplacian feedback. We provide a decentralized necessary and sufficient condition for observability and controllability based on the estimated eigenvalues. Furthermore we show an example of application of the proposed method and show that the estimated spectrum can also be envisioned as a tool for decentralized formation identification.

A new technique for parallel imprinting of multiple optical-fibre facets is presented. Resolution of better than 15nm is demonstrated and up to 40 optical-fibres have been imprinted in parallel. A compact, portable imprinting-module exploits self alignment to accommodate non-planar, biological molds.

A high-resolution PDMS-based conformable microelectrode array (cMEA) with integrated electronics is implemented. The cMEA is incorporated into individual layers of a nanofiber-based nerve regeneration scaffold to create a novel regenerative electrode scaffold (RES) capable of establishing a stable, high-resolution peripheral nerve interface. The device features a compact size with an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), as required by implantation applications. Preliminary characterizations of the device are performed using in vitro experimentations, including impedance spectroscopy and neural culturing.

Roadside Units (RSUs) aided distributed certificate service is a promising approach for ensuring security and privacy preservation in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), where the existence of RSUs is critical for such a scheme in order to allow On-Board Units (OBUs) to update their short-time certificates on time. However, RSUs may only be deployed at some critical points along roads due to the cost. In this paper, we propose a cost-efficient RSUs deployment scheme to guarantee that OBUs at any place could communicate with RSUs in certain driving time (DT), and the extra overhead time (ET) of adjusting routes to update short-time certificate is small. Based on a real-world map, several deployment examples are given illustrating the influence of key factors in RSUs deployment such as wireless communication range, DT and ET. Furthermore, extensive analysis demonstrates that our RSUs deployment scheme can meet the required design goals.

This paper intends to provide a detailed characterization of the transformer behavior under the influence of inrush currents and/or incipient winding faults. Experimental and simulation results are presented and discussed. Finally, a promising new method to identify inrush currents, and to distinguish them from internal faults, is suggested.
