A design algorithm is derived, for a calculating minimum allowable electrical clearances in alternating and direct current “permissible” equipments, which are authorized to operate in gassy mines and tunnels under Part 18 of Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations [1]. The calculated clearances apply to operations at altitudes ranging up to 12 000 ft (3658 m) above sea level. The minimum allowabl...

Recently, many areas of research on humanoid robots have been studied, such as motion control, man-machine interfaces, artificial intelligence (AI), and so on. Among them many research projects have tried to create artist robots, with the common objective of exploring new sensing, artificial intelligence, and manipulation techniques. The research described in this thesis explores new vision and...

This has enabled new art projects, including a commission from an Artificial Intelligence company, and we report on this collaboration, which is one of the f...

Astronomical optical interferometers sample the Fourier transform of the intensity distribution of a source at the observation wavelength. Because of rapid perturbations caused by atmospheric turbulence, the phases of the complex Fourier samples (visibilities) cannot be directly exploited. Consequently, specific image reconstruction methods have been devised in the last few decades. Modern poly...
