Meetings are social events, were people exchange information. Often a summarization of the meeting is necessary, for example for people not attending the meeting or to fix decisions. A first step for the automatic analysis of the meetings is a segmentation into meeting group action events like discussion or presentation [4]. This structuring can then be used to produce an agenda and a summariza...

In this paper, a maps managing interface is proposed. This interface is governed by a Brain Computer Interface (BCI), which also governs a mobile robot’s movements. If a robot is inside a known environment, the user can load a map from the maps managing interface in order to navigate it. Otherwise, if the robot is in an unknown environment, a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorit...

Maritime structures were traditionally designed for static maximum loads (design loads). However, ship and offshore structures are very much subject to dynamic loads, coming from, Fig.1: propellers and diesel engines excite elastic vibrations in local structures. The number of load cycles is usually much higher than for those due to seaways. Seaways excite local changing pressures. Typical freq...
