This paper explores time-distance gait parameters across walking speeds. Our approach consists of designing an experimental setup to gather walking data at various speeds, analyzing time-distance features with respect to speeds. We explain the motivations of this study and the details of the experimental setup that allows people to walk naturally on the ground level floor and at the same time a...

ATM switching platforms are well suited for transporting multimedia streams with QOS requirements. This paper describes the system design of a high performance connection management system for xbind, a flexible open programmable signaling system for ATM switching platforms. The latency and throughput of call processing is improved by caching, message aggregation and processing of requests in pa...

The business world is becoming more competitive. Therefore, it crucial to increase the flexibility of production by decreasing time used in processes preparing lines for new items’ production, reducing changeover and setup times. This paper presents a case study where main goal reduce welding robots. Single Minute Exchange Die (SMED) was implemented, using other tools such as Spaghetti Diagram,...

Scheduling in the painting facilities of automotive manufacturing plants is a complex process. The paint loss caused by machines continuously switching colours leads to significant costs. Optimising these schedules while assigning new jobs in real time and dealing with machine break downs is therefore an important issue in the truck painting problem. Previous successes in solving this problem w...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of unsupervised community use of an array-based automated setup functional electrical stimulator for current foot-drop functional electrical stimulation (FES) users. DESIGN Feasibility study. SETTING Gait laboratory and community use. PARTICIPANTS Participants (N=7) with diagnosis of unilateral foot-drop of central neurologic origin (>6mo) who were...

In this paper, the problem of fair scheduling in a wireless network is formulated as an assignment problem and an Optimal Radio Channel Allocation (ORCA) strategy is proposed for fair bandwidth allocation in a centralized manner. Simulation results show that the performance improvement due to ORCA can be significant compared to other wireless fairqueuing mechanisms proposed in the literature su...

Active Queue Management( AQM) is an efficient tool in the network to avoid saturation of the queue by warning the sender that the queue is almost full to reduce its speed before the queue is full. The buffer management schemes focus on space management, in the other hand scheduling priorities (focusing on time management) attempt to guarantee acceptable delay boundaries to applications for whic...
