This paper aims to add the information access capabilities to enable user’s mobile terminals in a wireless small satellite telemetry system. The cellular phone-centric mobile network architecture provides wireless communication link; telemetry information is provided to users in a highly personalized form according to the end-user’s range. We choose a reference system-level model of network arc...

Background: Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is a tumor suppressor protein that is involved in myeloid cell differentiation in response to retinoic acid (RA). In addition, RA acts as a natural morphogen in neural development. Objectives: This study aimed to examine PML gene expression in different stages of in vitro neural differentiation of NT2 cells, and to investigate the possible role o...

The airborne telemetry environment presents unique challenges to end-to-end communications due to the highly dynamic topology and time-varying connectivity of high-velocity wireless nodes. The AeroTP transport protocol uses multiple reliability modes to trade off end-to-end reliability and efficiency as appropriate for different categories of telemetry data. Based on the architecture previously...

this paper presents the application of three main artificial neural networks (anns) in damage detection of steel bridges. this method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. the changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. to circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear n...

A fully implantable neural data acquisition system is a key component of a clinically viable cortical brain-machine interface. We present the design and implementation of a single-chip device that serves the processing needs of such a system. Our device processes 96 channels of multi-unit neural data and performs all digital processing necessary for bidirectional wireless communication. The imp...

Over the past half century, wildlife research has relied on technological advances to gain additional insight into the secretive lives of animals. This revolution started in the 1960s with the development of radio telemetry and continues today with the use of Global Positioning System (GPS)-based research techniques. In the present paper we review the history of radio telemetry from its origins...

The use of radio telemetry in wader studies has grown exponentially in the past decade, and more than 40 species from four different families have been radio-marked. We summarize these studies and find that nearly all of them have used Very High Frequency radio transmitters to study individuals for periods from a few days to a few months. In the past five years, there has been tremendous growth...

Development of advanced anomaly detection and failure diagnosis technologies for spacecraft is a quite significant issue in the space industry, because the space environment is harsh, distant and uncertain. While several modern approaches based on qualitative reasoning, expert systems, and probabilistic reasoning have been developed recently for this purpose, any of them has a common difficulty...
