Implementation of a Low- Cost Multi- IMU by Using Information Form of a Steady State Kalman Filter

In this paper, a homogenous multi-sensor fusion method is used to estimate the trueangular rate and acceleration with a combination of four low cost (< 10$) MEMS Inertial MeasurementUnits (IMU). An information form of steady state Kalman filter is designed to fuse the output of four lowaccuracy sensors to reduce the noise effect by the square root of the number of sensors. A hardware isimplemen...

Saving the Eurozone: Is a ‘Real’ Marshall Plan the Answer?

z z A real Marshall Plan would have to work as a ‘structural adjustment programme’, in much the same way as its famous predecessor, namely by achieving reforms through strong conditionality in return for serious money. To be credible the funds would have to be committed, but only released when reforms had been implemented satisfactorily – similar to the deal that worked in the context of EU enl...

Life-saving and life-taking: a comment.

Delayed sternal closure is a life saving decision.

Nineteen hundred and fifty open heart operations were performed between January 1995 and December 2000 at the cardiac surgery department of Chest Disease Hospital in Kuwait. Sternal closure was delayed in 40 patients (2%), because of hemodynamic instability limiting primary closure in 23 patients and uncontrollable bleeding in 17 patients. Four patients died in the immediate postoperative perio...
