BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aneurysm clips need to be tested at 3T to characterize MR imaging concerns, including magnetic field interactions, MR imaging-related heating, and artifacts. Therefore, we evaluated these risks for aneurysm clips. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different MP35N aneurysm clips (Codman Slim-Line Aneurysm Clip, straight, blade length 25-mm; Codman Slim-Line Aneurysm Clip Graft...

There are two main approaches to the design Business Rules. The first one involves formalized methods that strictly define the syntax and semantics of rules. This approach usually requires technical skills or conceptual knowledge and therefore is not appropriate for everyone. In the second approach, dedicated rule languages are used for facilitating rules specification. Nevertheless, such langu...

The purpose of this paper is to explore an implementation of a rule-based system for generating costs for an on-road autonomous vehicle using the C Language Production System (CLIPS). In this context, costs are numeric values that represent a penalty the vehicle incurs by taking a certain action or occupying a state.

The paper presents a technique that defines creation of ESTELLE/Ag specifications using knowledge bases (KB). Application KB is created using the knowledge acquisition technique joined with a piece-linear aggregate model. The production rules of the application KB are transformed to decision tables, and the static properties of the KB are checked in PROLOGA system. Further, the application KB i...

This paper presents the ELISA consortium activities in automatic speaker segmentation during last NIST 2002 evaluation: two different approaches from CLIPS and LIA laboratories are presented and the possibility of combining them either by applying them consecutively, or by fusing the decisions made by each of them, is investigated. Various types of data were available for NIST 2002. The ELISA s...
