We present a novel multi-modal bio-sensing platform capable of integrating multiple data streams for use in real-time applications. The system is composed of a central compute module and a companion headset. The compute node collects, time-stamps and transmits the data while also providing an interface for a wide range of sensors including electroencephalogram, photoplethysmogram, electrocardio...

We propose a robust non-fuzzy self-tuning scheme for fuzzy PI controllers (FPIC) for a class of systems. The output scaling factor (SF) of the proposed non-fuzzy self-tuning FPIC, termed as NF-STFPIC, is modified on-line based on the normalized change of error of the controlled variable. Performance of the proposed controller is evaluated for a pure integrating plus dead-time (IPD) and first-or...

With the advent of the Model Driven Architecture, models are replacing code as the major artifact in software development. A critical success factor for this is the possibility to derive models from each other in terms of transformations. Existing approaches, such as the forthcoming QVT-standard, will provide a proper foundation for transforming models on a fine-grained level. They, however, do...

We consider the center-focus problem for analytic families of planar vector fields having a monodromic singularity with characteristic directions. give method to compute center conditions family provided there is an inverse integrating factor whose expression in polar coordinates has exceptional divisor first blow-up as isolated zero-set. Some non-trivial examples are analyzed.

One commonly performed bioinformatics task is to infer functional regulation of transcription factors by observing differential expression under a knockout, and integrating DNA binding information of that transcription factor. However, until now, this this task has required dedicated bioinformatics support to perform the necessary data integration. GenomeSpace provides a protocol, or “recipe”...

a new integrated model is developed for information systems planning. in this model, entitled hisspm, a combination of the strengths of critical success factors (csf) method, analytic hierarchy process (ahp) technique and genetic algorithms (ga) is used to identify and prioritize the required information systems. this model considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, as well as the imp...

This paper introduces a new method for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that enhances existing methods that are primarily based on finding integrating factors and/or point symmetries. The starting point of the new method is to find a non-invertible mapping that maps a given ODE to a related higher-order ODE that has an easily obtained integrating factor. As a consequence, the rela...

This paper illustrates preliminary findings in our ongoing efforts on integrating Raw, a proposed scalable tiled processor architecture, with the robust wireless connectivity provided by BlueTooth (BT), one of the most popular short range wireless connectivity standards. Our work of integrating Raw and BT is primarily motivated by two ideas. First, we are interested to evaluate the possible per...

The Eringen’s nonlocal elastica equation does not possess a Lagrangian formulation. In this article, we find variational integrating factor which enables us to provide and Hamiltonian structure associated equation. Explicit expressions of the solutions in terms elliptic integrals first kind are then deduced. We derive discrete version preserving compare it with Challamel’s co-worker definition ...
