In this paper we propose a new 4-moduli Residue Number System (RNS) {2~k, 2~n - 1, 2~(n-1) - 1, 2~(n+1) - 1} and its respective reverse converter. The new moduli set is characterized by a very efficient way of utilizing the underlying representation's capacity coming from its two aspects. First, by not including conjugate moduli our set covers the dynamic range of the representation much better than the systems that do include conjugate moduli. Second, independent controlling parameters of the even and odd moduli allow for fine-grained adjustment of the dynamic range to the needs of specific application with a single bit resolution. Our converter capitalizes on the mixed-radix conversion technique augmented to obtain a compact architecture and to reduce critical path delay by careful decomposition of the computations into cricital and non-critical chunks. The synthesis experiment conducted on a 16-tap programmable FIR filter example using STMicro 65nm low-power library shows up to 11.5% improvement in power dissipation against competitive flexible moduli set.

This paper addresses the motion planning problem of the trident snake robot consisting of a triangular body equipped with 2-link branches with actuated joints. The kinematics of the robot are represented by a driftless control system referred to as body controlled. This system converts to joint controlled after applying a feedback transformation. A two step motion planning strategy has been proposed to provide the joint control of the robot. First, a constrained motion planning problem is solved for the body control, preventing the feedback from getting singular, second the joint control is achieved by combining the body control with the feedback. It has been shown that the former step can be accomplished using the imbalanced Jacobian motion planning algorithm. The motion planning strategy is illustrated by computer simulations.

We propose a multistage pattern recognition algorithm with a reject option. On every stage, the presented algorithm chooses a class of signal or rejects the signal, i.e. refuses to make a decision. If a class is assigned to the signal on some stage, then the algorithm stops. In the opposite case of a signal rejection, the decision of assigning to a class is made on the next stage. The multiresolution signal representation in wavelet bases allows to take a more accurate signal representation on every following stage. Our approach saves the computation time, when the algorithm selects a class on an early stage basing on a coarse wavelet representation. If the inaccurate representation is insufficient to point out one of classes (e.g. when the a posteriori probability of every class is lower than a fixed bound, in case of Bayesian classifier), the reject option protects from choosing a wrong class. We show that a risk of misclassification for the Bayesian decision rule with a reject option is lower or equal to a risk of the one-stage optimal Bayesian rule.

In the paper the path following problem for a wheeled mobile robot of (2,0) type is considered. The Serret-Frenet frame is used to describe the robot relative to the desired path. The way how to transform obtained equations describing kinematic model derived with respect to the Serret-Frenet frame into the chained form is introduced. The kinematic control algorithm which is a combination of Astolfi algorithm - used for systems in the chained form - and Samson algorithm - dedicated to the unicycle - is proposed and compared to the Morin-Samson algorithm. Simulation results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The paper shows several methods employed in a semi-automatic pipeline for 3D surface reconstruction of anatomic shapes from Computed Tomography scans. Main benefits of the approach are very little human involvement and high processing speed, while maintaining high reconstruction accuracy. Several filtering methods are described that make contour segmentation easier. Further improvements of the algorithm are proposed.

This paper presents novel synthesis algorithm capable of generating Multithreshold Threshold Gate (MTTG) structure for arbitrary Boolean function. Algorithm draws from dedicated efficient threshold decomposition procedure that represents Boolean function as a min/max composition of threshold functions. Since the proposed threshold decomposition procedure outputs minimal number of thresholds therefore the resulting gate is compact - for k-threshold n-input Boolean function at most (k+1)(n+1) NDR elements in a (k+1)-level gate structure, and (k+1)n transistors are required.

We consider the cyclic production system providing on output the mixture of various products. Each product is produced by certain chain of operations, i. e. the unique sequence followed from the technological order. Each operations is performed on the dedicated machine. This sequence of operations is called the job. The aim is to find the cyclic schedule ensuring minimal cycle length. The problem belongs to deterministic scheduling theory, appears with the name cyclic job shop scheduling problem, is strongly NP-hard, and has been analyzed very rarely in the literature. Methodology of designing efficient optimization procedures for hard scheduling problem refers commonly to the component subproblem, namely the problem of finding cycle time or minimal cycle time for fixed job sequence. Numerical properties of this method have crucial influence on the quality of the final optimization algorithm. In this paper we propose several algorithms to solve the problem of finding cycle time for fixed job sequence. Then, we discuss and examine theoretical as well as numerical properties of these algorithms. Obtained results are illustrated by wide results of computational tests.

In this paper a nonholonomic motion planning task was solved using an algorithm proposed by Sussmann and Liu [8] and based on controls in the form of highly oscillatory series (HOS). Outputs of the algorithm were evaluated with respect to energy expenditure on controls and speed of its convergence. Based on characteristic features of the task, two modifications of the algorithm were proposed. Simulations were carried out on the unicycle model and an exemplary nilpotent nonholonomic system. Finally, the relevance of the algorithm to possible applications was discussed.
