Reports on the special features and applications supported general purpose robotic hand systems.

The paper describes the new computers architecture, the main features of which has been claimed in the Russian Federation patent 2312388 and in the US patent application 11/991331. This architecture is intended to effective support of the General Purpose Parallel Computing (GPPC), the essence of which is extremely frequent switching of threads between states of activity and states of viewed in ...

To date, work on formalizing connectionist computation in a way that is at least Turingcomplete has focused on recurrent architectures and developed equivalences to Turing machines or similar super-Turing models, which are of more theoretical than practical significance. We instead develop connectionist computation within the framework of information propagation networks extended with unbounded...

Nimble Storage was founded in 2008 on the core belief that the storage industry would experience a major transformation over the next decade, driven by two fundamental catalysts: First, that flash technology would require a ground-up storage system redesign, rendering incumbent disk-centric storage architectures inefficient and ineffective. Second, that cloud-based management with granular real...

The last decade witnessed a proliferation of systems specially devised for aggregating and then operating over information objects – e.g., publications, experimental data, multimedia and compound objects – collected from possibly heterogeneous and autonomous data sources. Such systems, to which we refer as “Digital Library Content Laboratories”, are typically highly domain-specific and thus fea...

Did innovations in core processes during the Industrial Revolution tend to generate innovations in downstream technologies? Here a theoretical model examines the effect of a political shock in a non-innovating society in which there is high potential willingness to cooperate. The result is regional specialization in the innovation process by degree of cooperation. Tests with a Poisson specifica...
