This paper presents an adaptive scheme for a sub-function in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network routing, called link allocation. The scheme adapts the link allocation policy to the offered Poisson call traffic such that the long-term revenue in maximized. It decomposes the link allocation task into a set of link admission control (LAC) tasks, formulated as semi-Markov Decision Problems (S...

an adaptive version of growing and pruning rbf neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement linear model-based predictive controller (lmpc) and non-linear model-based predictive controller (nmpc) strategies. a radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.an unscented kalman filter (ukf) algor...

A high-speed non-destructive CMOS image sensor with bi-directional multiple charge transfer active pixel scheme is presented. The high-speed intermediate pictures are used in the motion vector estimation with adaptive iterative search. The sensor has an ability to cancel FPN of intermediate image. The proposed adaptive iterative search with high-speed non-destructive intermediate pictures reduc...

Few facts in biology are more certain than offspring inheriting genetic material from their parents, but not all genes are acquired this way. A new report documents the horizontal transfer of a potentially adaptive gene between distantly related plants.

This study investigates how Japanese management practices are affected by Vietnamese culture through international technology transfer implementation at Japanese manufacturing subsidiaries located in Vietnam. The concept of technology transfer refers to the transfer of cross-cultural production management systems. Utilizing Abo’s framework on Japanese management systems and Hofstede’s theory of...

In this article a high resolution database of Head-Related Impulse Responses (HRIRs) and anthropometric parameters for 35 human subjects and two KEMAR manequins is introduced. The HRIRs were computed using Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) adaptive filtering. The NLMS method has no audible drawbacks compared to well-established HRIR estimation approaches (MLS and Exponetnial Sweep method) whi...

This paper presents a pole-zero model based on a multi-tube acoustic model for fricative sounds. This model consists of the front and back cavity formed by oral tract and pharynx, in which the excitation source is located at the point of constriction. The transfer function of this model including poles and zeros is derived and its properties are investigated. Small losses such as viscous fricti...

This research was funded in part by Semiconductor Research Corporation under contract (#98-HJ-638) and in part by DARPA. Abstract The increase in power consumption due to interconnects and the variation in delays (delay spread) among long interconnects are becoming important issues for design of high performance and low power circuits in scaled technologies. In this paper we propose an adaptive...
