While the role on space robot becomes more important (e.g. construction of LSS), it is difficult to develop reusable software to control space robot with conventional development approach. In this paper we propose a design pattern of reusable software library for controlling space robots. The features of this design pattern are as follows. Architecture based on object-oriented method. Multithre...

The discrete Lotka–Volterra equation over p-adic space was constructed since p-adic space is a prototype of spaces with non-Archimedean valuations and the space given by taking the ultra-discrete limit studied in soliton theory should be regarded as a space with the non-Archimedean valuations given in my previous paper (Matsutani S 2001 Int. J. Math. Math. Sci.). In this paper, using the natura...

conclusions using 3d ct scan to produce a prototype and reconstruct the mandible with a custom-made ti-mesh tray was useful. patient was followed up for 14 months. mandibular deviation was largely corrected. there was no complication in the donor site. no sign of extra or intra oral fistula, dehiscence or infection was detected. ti-mesh technique has three major advantages over other methods: i...

Discrete Lotka-Volterra equation over p-adic space was constructed since p-adic space is a prototype of spaces with the non-Archimedean valuations and the space given by taking ultra-discrete limit studied in soliton theory should be regarded as a space with the non-Archimedean valuations in the previous report (solv-int/9906011). In this article, using the natural projection from p-adic intege...

An Adaptive Augmenting Control (AAC) algorithm for the Space Launch System (SLS) has been developed at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) as part of the launch vehicle’s baseline flight control system. A prototype version of the SLS flight control software was hosted on a piloted aircraft at the Armstrong Flight Research Center to demonstrate the adaptive controller on a full-scale realist...

In this paper we describe our method for supporting artifact-centered communication. We elaborate a design space we have been elaborating called Tools That Tell Tales, and describe the TackTales prototype which provides an instance in this design space. We show how paper postings on a community pin board can be augmented to enable conversations around the physical, paper postings. The TackTales...

Zero-shot learning, which studies the problem of object classification for categories for which we have no training examples, is gaining increasing attention from community. Most existing ZSL methods exploit deterministic transfer learning via an in-between semantic embedding space. In this paper, we try to attack this problem from a generative probabilistic modelling perspective. We assume for...

The 3D Tractus (Latin for drawing, space and movement) is a simple and inexpensive physical interface for intuitive and direct exploration, manipulation and inputting of three-dimensional (3D) data. The interface is a straightforward evolution of the non-computerized drawing board, preserving the drawing board physical spatial affordances and enhancing it by allowing the interactive planar surf...

Preliminary considerations for a wearable computer system for astronauts on International Space Station (ISS) during extravehicular activity (EVA) are discussed. The proposed system acts as a client on a wireless network external to the ISS, and provides text, graphics, audio, and video to astronauts using a near-eye display. Primary design considerations include astronaut safety, comfort, ease...

Sensory innovation in the flavor industry is a process that relies heavily on user involvement to carry out critical sampling trials at a high cost. We are interested in how recommender systems, in particular, have an important role to play in view of addressing some of their key challenges and constraints. We describe a purpose-built sensory recommendation prototype with the potential to: (1) ...
