We introduce a new approach to the training of classifiers for performance on multiple tasks. The proposed hybrid training method leads to improved generalization via a better low-dimensional representation of the problem space. The quality of the representation is assessed by embedding it in a two-dimensional space using multi-dimensional scaling, allowing a direct visualization of the results. The performance of the approach is demonstrated on a highly non-linear image classification task.

Electrical equipment aboard Navy ships is currently protected by current Limiting fuses which provide reliable protection against.high fault currents. Fuses, however, must be replaced after each fault event. While individual fuses are relatively inexpensive, the aggregate costs of replacing large numbers of them lie in the millions of dollars. Furthermore, the manpower and time required to replace blown fuses are also expensive. This has led us to investigate the use of modern current limiting elements to replace fuses. In the past, the excessive cost, size and weight of current limiters prohibited their widespread use. New studies show that the emerging polymer current limiter (PCL) technology will effectively limit fault currents while reducing life cycle costs. This advantage arises because of the self-resetting capability and inexpensive procurement costs characteristic of PCLs. The protection performance and the cost advantages of polymer current limiters are described here in the context of use with distribution and load equipment. We also outline the operating mechanism of PCLs and strategies for using PCLs to improve coordination between circuit breakers. Finally, an application of PCLs as protection for solid-state devices such as Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR) and MOS Controlled Thyristors (MCT) is considered.

This paper presents an algorithm for 3-D motion and shape recovery using two perspective views and their relative 2-D displacement field. The 2-D displacement vectors are estimated as parameters of a 2-D affine model that generalizes standard block matching by allowing affine shape deformations of image blocks and affine intensity transformations. The matching block size is effectively found via morphological size histograms. The parameters of the rigid body motion are estimated using a least-squares algorithm that requires solving a system of linear equations with rank three. Some stabilization of the recovered motion parameters under noise is achieved through a simple form of maximum a posteriori estimation. A multi-scale search in the parameter space is also used to improve accuracy without high comp.tational cost. Experiments on applying this algorithm to various real world image sequences demonstrate that it can estimate dense displacement fields and recover motion parameters and object shape with relatively small errors.

This discussion meeting is being sponsored by the Technical Committee on Noise (TCN) to review progress made to date on actions initiated by the TCN. The results of the successful outreach seminar held in Indianapolis in 1996 May will be discussed, and topics for future seminars will be presented. The possibilities for a self‐administered hearing test in public places will be discussed, and the feasibility of such a program examined. Reprints have been obtained of articles based on papers presented at a special noise session held in Washington, DC on 1995 June 01. The session was titled Noise: State ofthe Art—Noise Effects andControl. Two thousand copies of a 64‐page booklet have been printed, and will be distributed by ASA to those interested in noise control. Cooperation with the ASA Standards Secretariat has resulted in an electronic version of the latest standards catalog with links to the abstracts of all standards, including noise standards. The information will be posted on the World Wide Web. The distribution of a floppy disk containing the same information will be discussed. Dr. Koyasu will also discuss some of the recent progress made in Japan in noise control activity.

Over 25 implementations of different functional languages are benchmarked using the same program, a floating-point intensive application taken from molecular biology. The principal aspects studied are comp.le time and execution time for the various implementations that were benchmarked. An important consideration is how the program can be modified and tuned to obtain maximal performance on each language implementation. With few exceptions, the comp.lers take a significant amount of time to comp.le this program, though most comp.lers were faster than the then current GNU C comp.ler (GCC version 2.5.8). comp.lers that generate C or Lisp are often slower than those that generate native code directly: the cost of comp.ling the intermediate form is normally a large fraction of the total comp.lation time. There is no clear distinction between the runtime performance of eager and lazy implementations when appropriate annotations are used: lazy implementations have clearly come of age when it comes to implementing largely strict applications, such as the Pseudoknot program. The speed of C can be approached by some implementations, but to achieve this performance, special measures such as strictness annotations are required by non-strict implementations. The benchmark results have to be interpreted with care. Firstly, a benchmark based on a single program cannot cover a wide spectrum of 'typical' applications. Secondly, the comp.lers vary in the kind and level of optimisations offered, so the effort required to obtain an optimal version of the program is similarly varied.

In this paper, the fuzzy inventory model is discussed, especially in the case of permitting backorder under the fuzzy environment of fuzzy demand, fuzzy order cost, fuzzy inventory cost and fuzzy backorder cost. We use function principle, inst.ad of extension principle, to calculate the total fuzzy inventory cost. We also apply the median rule to find the optimal economic order quantity (EOQ) and shortage quantity.
