This answers a question apparently first raised by Tietze [T, p. 83]. It was previously known that there were at most two knots with a given complement [CGLS, Corollary 3]. The notion of equivalence of knots can be strengthened by saying that K and K' are isotopic if the above homeomorphism h is isotopic to the identity, or, equivalently, orientation-preserving. The analog of Theorem I holds in...

With the rapid development of power system technology, requirements for stability equipment operation are higher and higher. In order to ensure operation, this paper puts forward dynamic detection method long-distance communication fault information acquisition terminal. Through collection remote information, data preprocessing. And area is accurately located determine location. terminal abnorm...

This paper reports our efforts to develop an integrated system for telesurgery of the throat and upper airway. The system is described while focusing on the novel design of its slave robot. The slave robot is a 3-armed robot that implements novel Distal Dexterity Units (DDU’s). These DDU’s are dexterous robots for surgical tool manipulation and suturing in confined spaces. Each DDU is composed ...

The architecture of a device that is optimized for wireless information access and display of multimedia data is substantially different than configurations designed for portable stand-alone operation. The requirements to reduce the weight and energy consumption are the same, but the availability of the wireless link, which is needed for the information access, allows utilization of remote reso...

We describe a framework for providing quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees within the endsystem for networked multimedia applications. There are four components in this framework namely|QoS speciication, QoS mapping, QoS enforcement, and protocol implementation. QoS speciications are at a high level, and use a small number of parameters to allow applications greater ease in specifying their requ...

The notion of equivalence of knots can be strengthened by saying that K and K' are isotopic if the above homeomorphism h is isotopic to the identity, or equivalently, orientation-preserving. The analog of Theorem 1 holds in this setting too: if two knots have complements which are homeomorphic by an orientation-preserving homeomorphism, then they are isotopic. Theorem 1 and its orientation-pres...
