Background: Ensuring adequate depth of anesthesia during surgery is essential for anesthesiologists to prevent the occurrence of unwanted alertness during surgery or failure to return to consciousness. Since the purpose of using anesthetics is to affect the central nervous system, brain signal processing such as electroencephalography (EEG) can be used to predict different levels of anesthesia....

We propose an approach to a self-testing (m, n)-code checker design, based on subdividing the set of all code words into special subsets called segments. The circuit is constructed by using one- and two-output configurable logic blocks (CLB). Previously, in each output CLB, function representing exactly one segment was implemented. In proposed approach, at CLBs output, it possible implement fun...

This survey paper presents the state-of-the-art directional medium access control (MAC) protocols in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (WAHSNs). The key benefits of directional antennas over omni-directional antennas are longer communication range, less multipath interference, more spatial reuse, more secure communications, higher throughput and reduced latency. However, directional antennas ...

this paper presents a delay compensator fuzzy control for trajectory tracking of omni-directional mobile robots. fuzzy logic control (flc) of the robots is a suitable strategy for dealing with model uncertainties, nonlinearities and disturbances.  on the other hand, in many robotic applications such as mobile robots, delay phenomenon is able to substantially deteriorate the behavior of system's...

This paper describes the optimizations introduced in Juice, a J2ME virtual machine for embedded systems. These optimizations are designed to make possible the determination of the WCET of the JVM bytecodes related to object and array management. The solution proposed, which is based on subdividing the heap in a set of chunks of fixed size, allows to execute those bytecodes either in a constant ...

It is not known whether every noncompact hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume admits a decomposition into ideal tetrahedra. We give a partial solution to this problem: Let M be a hyperbolic 3-manifold obtained by identifying the faces of n convex ideal polyhedra P1, . . . , Pn. If the faces of P1, . . . , Pn−1 are glued to Pn, then M can be decomposed into ideal tetrahedra by subdividing the ...
