Conclusion Change in all industries is difficult, perhaps in none more so than healthcare, where multiple stakeholders, some- times conflicting missions and goals, professional inde- pendence of key staff, and difficulty accessing high-quality performance data present particul[r]
4.3 Adaptive Determination of Information Distribution Factor By the analysis of the estimation performance of combined filter, it is known that the information distribution principle not only eliminates the correlation between sub-filters as brought from public baseline inf[r]
In this chapter we have reviewed fuzzy set theory based multi-sensor fusion built on Fuzzy- Pattern-Classification. In particular we emphasized the fact that many traps can occur in multi-sensor fusion. Furthermore, a new inspection and c[r]
The performance of a genetic algorithm with respect to convergence to the global optimum point in the search space depends on the values assigned to its various control (adjustable) parameters. The size of the population (i.e., number of individuals), N ind , and the probability of[r]
8-4 HETEROGENEOUS MULTISENSOR ARCHITECTURE Challenges to contemporary process control include realizing the potential of in situ sensors and actuators applied beyond apparatus boundaries to accommodate in- creasingly complex process operations. The relationship between process and co[r]
provide excellent gas absorption properties. These extreme absorption properties make CNTs advantageous for use in many areas of applications. For example, the gas absorption of CNTs at room temperature will change its electric properties with fast response time, which can enable CNTs to be[r]
1. Introduction In recent years, two dimensional laser range finders mounted on vehicles is becoming a fruitful solution to achieve safety and environment recognition requirements (Keicher & Seufert, 2000), (Stentz et al., 2002), (DARPA, 2007). They provide real-time accurate range[r]
In the knowledge-based economy, R&D centers in service industries increasingly depend on the performance of knowledge workers to gain competitive advantage. Therefore, these centers must give careful consideration to the performance assessment and continuous improvement of knowledge workers using ap[r]
manufacturing, control systems, office automation, automotive systems, communications, consumer products, and health care systems, just to name a few. Continued technological improvements will give rise to more powerful computers that will not only make computationa[r]
The proposed mechanism has been implemented on the Aglets mobile agent system and evaluated in terms of parameters such as round trip time, Reliable migration time, Check point time. The results show the improvement in reliability and performance, especially for mobile agents in Internet application[r]
One of the most well-known approaches, which is related to earlier work by Smith and Abel [17], was introduced by Chan and Ho in [8]. In this approach, the TDOA equations are solved using a two-stage, constrained, weighted linear least-squares technique. The technique is not iterative[r]
