This report presents R2DM (Raw Ranging Data Management) and PDM (Processed Data Management) services. R2DM service is a web service developed for storing, managing and accessing the raw data from indoor localization benchmarking experiments. By raw ranging data we mean the measured physical values used as input for the localization algorithms, such as Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time of Arrival (To...

All optical method is considered as a promising technique for high symbol rate Nyquist signal generation, which has attracted a lot of research interests for high spectral-efficiency and high-capacity optical communication system. In this paper, we extend our previous work and report the fully experimental demonstration of polarization-division multiplexed (PDM) all-optical Nyquist signal gener...

This paper introduces a multi-Principal-Distribution-Model (PDM) method and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for gesture recognition. To track the hand-shape, it uses the PDM model which is built by learning patterns of variability from a training set of correctly annotated images. However, it can only fit the hand examples that are similar to shapes of the corresponding training set. For gesture reco...

Engineering product development in today's industry is becoming increasingly knowledge-intensive and collaborative. As the people, departments, and partners involved in product development tend to be geographically dispersed, there are increasing demands to globally cooperate during the design phase and outsource the manufacturing processes (Li and Qiu, 2006). Due to this geographical and insti...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The perfusion-diffusion mismatch (PDM) model has been proposed as a tool to select acute stroke patients who are most likely to benefit from reperfusion therapy. The clinical-diffusion mismatch (CDM) model is an alternative method that is technically less challenging because it does not require perfusion-weighted imaging. This study is an evaluation of these 2 models in t...

In rare cases (1-8%) diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from diabetic nephropathy (dNP) due to pancreatic diabetes mellitus (PDM). Aim of this study was to investigate differences in the outcome of patients with PDM and those with type 2 diabetes.In a retrospective study we evaluated 96 diabetic patients, who started hemodialysis (HD) in our dialysis centre (1997-2005)...

Supply chain management refers to all the management functions related to the flow of materials from the company’s direct suppliers to its direct customers. In this paper, we will propose a generic supply chain management system, and describe how the system works in terms of information exchange, workflow coordination and flexible logistic route. We will introduce two data models, which are cal...

This paper introduces a multi-Principal-Distribution-Model (PDM) method and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for gesture image sequence interpretation. To track the hand-shape, it uses the PDM model which is built by learning patterns of variability from a training set of correctly annotated images. For gesture recognition, we need to deal with a large variety of hand-shape. Therefore, we divide all t...

Product Based Workflow Design (PBWD) is a revolutionary and successful new approach to workflow process support. A description of the product, the Product Data Model (PDM), is central in this approach. While other research so far has focused on deriving a process model from the PDM, this paper presents a way to directly execute the PDM, leading to a more dynamic and flexible support for the wor...
