This paper has applied battery pack technologies in battery system based on the characteristics of charging and discharging process and composed big battery pack from single battery cells with MSP430 as micro control unit (MCU). The paper has also designed the monitoring hardware system of main control unit, data monitoring module, as well as the monitoring software of upper computer of CAN com...

Theoretical studies have led to the prediction that the maximal effect of a given respiratory muscle on airway opening pressure (Pao) is the product of muscle mass, the maximal active muscle tension per unit cross-sectional area, and the fractional change in muscle length per unit volume increase of the relaxed chest wall. It has previously been shown that the parasternal intercostals behave in...

The generation of pleasant prosody parameters is very important for speech synthesis A Prosody generation unit can be seen as a dynamical system In this paper sophisticated time delay recurrent neural network NN topologies are presented which can be used for the modeling of dynamical systems Within the prosody prediction task left and right context information is known to in uence the predictio...

OBJECTIVE To compare two models (The Pediatric Risk of Mortality III score and Pediatric Index of Mortality) for prediction of mortality in a paediatric intensive care unit in Hong Kong. DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING A five-bed paediatric intensive care unit in a general hospital in Hong Kong. PATIENTS All patients consecutively admitted to the unit between April 2001 and March ...

In this paper an adaptable acoustical architecture in a multilingual TTS system is presented. The whole architecture is designed to be a data-driven system. Modules comprising text preprocessing, grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, lexical stress detection, OOV-handling, symbolic prosody prediction, acoustic prosody prediction and unit selection with concatenation use machine learning techniques es...

OBJECTIVE Increased inflammatory response is related to severity and outcome in community-acquired pneumonia, but the role of inflammatory biomarkers in deciding intensive care unit admission is unknown. We assessed the relationship between inflammatory response, prediction for intensive care unit admission, delayed intensive care unit admission, and outcome in patients with community-acquired ...

We describe a new load-balancing strategy, applied here to the protein structure prediction problem, for improving the efficiency of the hierarchical approach when dealing with coarse-grained problems associated with large tree searches. Unlike other load-balancing strategies that reassign load from the heavily loaded processors to the lightly loaded or idle ones, the proposed strategy changes ...
