Moving objects detection is considered as one of the prime safety indicators in the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). For implementing on resource-limited embedded platforms and still yield sufficient frame rate and quality, the paper proposes a lightweight multi-head single shot detector (SSD) model that strengthens the moving object detection significantly. The paper also introduces focal loss method to deal with imbalance problem of detecting pedestrians and bikes in training datasets (vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians). Lastly, the proposed lightweight network can be deployed on low-power embedded devices to achieve real-time processing performance (512x256) yielding 30fps.

This study is dedicated to a critical investigation of the existing approaches toward a data visualization management platform based on Fast Health Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Despite the growing popularity of FHIR, the available evidence provides a compelling reason to believe that its use is still accompanied by a significant number of technical challenges. Therefore, the development of tools to ensure its convenient visualization remains a pressing need for a variety of stakeholders operating in the healthcare industry. Results of the systematic literature review that included 26 studies provide valuable information about the most popular instruments in this area, such as the OpenEHR CKM approach. The review offers a critical discussion of the most important advantages and disadvantages of different approaches. It provides valuable recommendations for further research as well as practical recommendations concerning the best ways to utilize data visualization platforms based on FHIR. It defines the tradeoff of functionality versus the ease of dissemination as one of the most important problems facing most platforms and suggests avenues for developing additional tooling support for visualizing FHIR. The results of the research could be useful both for scientists and practitioners.

Deeply implanted bioelectronic devices that selectively record and stimulate peripheral nerves have the potential to revolutionize healthcare by delivering on-demand, personalized therapy. A key barrier to this goal is the lack of a miniaturized, robust, and energy-efficient wireless link capable of transmitting data from multiple sensing channels. To address this issue, we present a wireless galvanic impulse link that uses two 500μm diameter planar electrodes on the outside of a nerve cuff to transmit data to a wearable receiver on the skin’s surface at rates greater than 1Mbps. To achieve an energy-efficient, high data rate link, our protocol encodes information in the timing of narrow biphasic pulses that is reconstructed by the wearable receiver. We use a combination of modeling and in vivo and in vitro experimentation to demonstrate the viability of the link. We demonstrate losses lower than 60dB even with significant, 50mm lateral misalignment, ensuring a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio for robust operation. Using a custom, flexible nerve cuff, we demonstrate data transmission in a 14mm-thick rodent animal model and in a 42mm-thick heterogeneous human tissue phantom.

This paper proposes a pose estimation system for robot grasping based on a novel Object Affordance Detection and Segmentation (OADS) network. The proposed system consists of four modules: (1) OADS network; (2) point cloud extraction; (3) object pose estimation; (4) grasp pose estimation. Based on the OADS network, the proposed system achieves affordance-based object pose estimation results. The proposed grasp pose estimation system is evaluated on a laboratory-made dual-arm robot. Experimental results show that the proposed system achieves high detection rate and high accuracy in affordance detection and segmentation tasks, leading to a high success rate in object grasping tasks with lab-made dual-arm robot.

The Braess paradox which was originally identified and observed in road traffic context, shows that it may happen that by adding capacity to the network, the performance of all users degrades. This paradox has long been known in a framework called the Wardrop equilibrium, in which there are infinitely many individuals and in which the decision of one single individual has a negligible effect on the performance of the other individuals. Another framework in which such a paradox may occur is that of the Nash equilibrium in which there are a finite number of players, and in which the decision of each player has nonnegligible effect on the other players. It is natural to expect the same type of paradox in the Nash equilibrium context, whenever it occurs for the Wardrop equilibrium. In this paper, we present a case where a paradox similar to that of the Braess appears in a Nash equilibrium but does not appear in a Wardrop equilibrium in the same environment. We consider the model of load balancing in distributed computer systems. We further establish the uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium for this problem.

Medical record data are an essential part of medicine, but the effective use of data has become difficult due to the rapid increase in data. Determining the selected features allows researchers to extract the information from medical data. Feature selection in classification provides the advantage of reduced time and storage. In addition, feature selection methods can improve performance by removing redundant or irrelevant data based on their weights. The benefits of feature selection are that it speeds up the training time, simplifies the model, makes interpretation easier, and improves generalization by reducing overfitting. Feature selection in this research uses two methods: Binary Whale Optimization (BWOA), Particle Swarm Optimization, and Hybrid with Gray Wolf Optimization (PSOGWO). Two feature selection methods were compared to determine the most optimal method for the classification process. A comparison of the two feature selection methods shows that the classification process with many attributes produces an optimal classification process, where the number of representative variables in the breast cancer dataset in the BWOA method has five features, and the PSOGWO method has 11 attributes. Meanwhile, the highest accuracy results in breast cancer classification using the BWOA average of 95.90% and PSOGWO Method average of 97.64%

Future data transmission requirements will be greater, speedier, and more extensive. This is provided by the 6G communication network, which employs frequencies of 100 GHz and above (terahertz). So that all devices can be effectively connected and controlled by humans. However, high frequencies can be attenuated by the atmosphere. The weakening of the terahertz signal received by the receiver system due to attenuation. This paper examines the impact of rain attenuation on the performance of 6G systems using the parameters of free space loss, precipitation, and acceptability. Therefore, a computer simulation approach was conducted to obtain the performance. In this paper, 100 GHz and 300 GHz frequencies were used in LOS conditions, respectively. In addition, two different power transmits: 20 dBm and 24 dBm, and a distance between the base station (BS) and the user equipment (UE) extending from 100 to 600 meters are considered as parameters. The results indicate that the free space loss (FSL) is increase with increasing distance as well as the frequency used increases. As distance increases, the rain attenuation with a high frequency is increased. The received power for each power transmission remains within the acceptable range of the 6G communication network.
