We develop a new high order accurate time-integration technique for initial value problems. We focus on problems that originate from a space approximation using high order finite difference methods on summation-by-parts form with weak boundary conditions, and extend that technique to the timedomain. The new time-integration method is global, high order accurate, unconditionally stable and toget...

Programmable parts orienting is an important capability for exible automation systems. Here we study how a part grasped in an unknown orientation by a force-controlled robot can be oriented by a sequence of push-align actions against a wall followed by sensor measurements of the distance from the grasp point to the wall. This paper concentrates on three issues: planning a sequence of actions to...

Hough voting methods efficiently handle the high complexity of multiscale, category-level object detection in cluttered scenes. The primary weakness of this approach is however that mutually dependent local observations are independently voting for intrinsically global object properties such as object scale. All the votes are added up to obtain object hypotheses. The assumption is thus that obj...

| Object classi cation needs to address not only the changes resulting from various viewpoints but also the di erent shapes that can be classi ed into the same category. We present a new framework and its implementation for generic object classi cation from raw range images, combining structural and functional concepts. The framework addresses low and mid level problems for the decomposition of...

Integration by parts: advanced information processing at the molecular level requires integrated logic gates, which has to date been possible only virtually. Now, two independently working AND molecular logic gates are brought together by "click" chemistry to form integrated logic gates which respond exactly as predicted from such an integration scheme.

In this tutorial we will introduce the reader to how the direct integral forms for a partial differential equation can be derived. We will start from the well-known form for the integration by parts rule and then we will generalize it to demonstrate how Green’s second identity works. Therefore the main objectives of this tutorial are: 1. To review the philosophy behind the integration by part r...

This study proposes a database designing model that works as a foundation for database designing phases and as integration for the database systems. The model starts by fragment the system from top to down and then integrate the different parts of the system using the bottom up approach. The proposed model is a graphic model, where it presents the fragmentations of the system in indexed binary ...
