B-scan ultrasound is the primary means for the diagnosis of fatty liver. However, due to use of various ultrasound equipments, poor quality of ultrasonic images and physical differences of patients, fatty liver diagnosis is mainly qualitative, and often depends on the subjective judgment of technicians and doctors. Therefore, computer-aided feature extraction and quantitative analysis of liver B-scan ultrasonic images will help to improve clinical diagnostic accuracy, repeatability and efficiency, and could provide a measure for severity of hepatic steatosis. This paper proposed a novel method of fatty liver diagnosis based on liver B-mode ultrasonic images using support vector machine (SVM). Fatty liver diagnosis was transformed into a pattern recognition problem of liver ultrasound image features. According to the different characteristics of fatty liver and healthy liver, important image features were extracted and selected to distinguish between the two categories. These features could be represented by near-field light-spot density, near-far-field grayscale ratio, grayscale co-occurrence matrix, and neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix (NGTDM). A SVM classifier was modeled and trained using the clinical ultrasound images of both fatty liver and normal liver. It was then exploited to classify normal and fatty livers, achieving a high recognition rate. The diagnostic results are satisfactorily consistent with those made by doctors. This method could be used for computer-aided diagnosis of fatty liver, and help doctors identify the fatty liver ultrasonic images rapidly, objectively and accurately.

To control the mobile robot with the surrounding information is the essential method to realize the intelligence and automatic moving. The vision information is the most important way to perceive the environment for the mobile robot. This paper presents an essential camera calibration technique for mobile robot, which is based on Pioneer II experiment platform. The technique includes transformation of coordinates system for vision system, the model and principle of image formations camera distortion calibration. Because of non-linear distortion of camera, algorithm with optimizing operators is presented to improve calibration precision. We verify the validity and feasibility of the algorithm through experiment.

Liquid State Machine (LSM) is a newly developed computational model with many interesting properties. It has great advantages of dealing with biologic computing when compared to the traditional computational model. In this paper, the LSM was used to deal with the direction classification problem of the spike series which were distilled from the neurons in motor cortex of a monkey. In the output layer, a linear regression and back-propagation are employed as the training algorithms. Compare to outcomes of the two algorithms, it is showed that ideal classification results were derived when using BP as the training algorithm.

This paper presents a sliding-mode-based diagonal recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (SDRCMAC) for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear systems. Sliding mode technology is used to reduce the dimension of the control system. Two learning stages are adopted to train the SDRCMAC and to improve the stability of the control system. Lyapunov stability theorem and Barbalat's lemma are adopted to guarantee the asymptotical stability of the system. Performance is illustrated on a two-link robotic control and motor control of the human arm in the sagittal plane.

DNA tile self-assembly has been proved to enable programmable manipulation of biological systems as a tool of molecular computation. It is mainly based on the property that is the spontaneous self-ordering of substructure into superstructure driven by annealing of Watson-Crick base-pairing D sequences. We take full advantage of the superiority of DNA tile self-assembly to construct a molecular computing system that implements a solution for the 0-1 planning problem. This algorithm can independently and simultaneously yield the data pool, containing all possible solutions when all basic operation tiles are designed beforehand. Then we can use some advanced bio-chemistry techniques to select the optimization solutions of the 0-1 planning problem. Our work has shown that it is possible to work with an exponential number of components to solve NP-complete problems. The method proposed here also can reduce the number of laboratory steps required for computation so that it can improve the computation speed.

DNA tile self-assembly is a promising paradigm for nanotechnology. Recently, many researches show that computation by DNA tile self-assembly maybe scalable. In this paper, we propose the algorithm for elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange based on DNA tile self-assembly. First we give the DNA tile self-assembly model to compute the scalar multiplication, then we can successfully implement the Diffie-Hellman key exchange over elliptic curve by extracting the result strand of the scalar multiplication.

In the process industry, there exist many systems which can be approximated by a Hammerstein model. Moreover, these systems are usually subjected to input magnitude constraints. In this paper, a multi-channel identification algorithm (MCIA) is proposed, in which the coefficient parameters are identified by least squares estimation (LSE) together with a singular value decomposition (SVD) technique. Compared with traditional single-channel identification algorithms, the present method can enhance the approximation accuracy remarkably, and provide consistent estimates even in the presence of coloured output noises under relatively weak assumptions on the persistent excitation (PE) condition of the inputs. Then, to facilitate the following controller design, this MCIA is converted into a two stage single-channel identification algorithm (TS-SCIA), which preserves most of the advantages of MCIA. With this TS-SCIA as the inner model, a dual-mode non-linear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm is developed. In detail, over a finite horizon, an optimal input profile found by solving a open-loop optimal control problem drives the non-linear system state into the terminal invariant set;afterwards a linear output-feedback controller steers the state to the origin asymptotically. In contrast to the traditional algorithms, the present method has a maximal stable region, a better steady-state performance and a lower computational complexity. Finally, simulation results on a heat exchanger are presented to show the efficiency of both the identification and the control algorithms.

For depth information estimation of microscope defocus image, a blur parameter model of defocus image based on Markov random field has been present. It converts problem of depth estimation into optimization problem. An improved iterated conditional modes algorithm has been applied to complete optimization problem, which the select of initial point employed least squares estimate algorithm prevents that the result gets into local optimization. The experiments and simulations prove that the model and algorithm is efficiency.

We consider the problem of looking for small universal spiking neural P systems with exhaustive use of rules, which was formulated as an open problem by Gheorghe Paun in a survey paper. Here, spiking neural P systems are used in two versions: as devices computing functions and as devices generating sets of numbers, with two ways of encoding the result of a computation. As devices of computing functions, if we associate the result with the distance between the first two spikes emitted by the output neuron, we produce a universal computing spiking neural P system with exhaustive use of rules (without delay) having 125 neurons; if we introduce the usual way of defining the result of a computation in membrane systems to encode the result, namely, the number of spikes emitted during a computation, then a universal computing system (without delay) with 126 neurons is also obtained in the sense of the exhaustive use of rules. For spiking neural P systems used as generators of sets of numbers, we construct a universal system (without delay) by using 128 neurons under the first way of defining the computation result, and a system (without delay) by using 127 neurons under the second way of defining the computation result.
