Holographic optical tweezers is a widely used technique to manipulate the individual positions of optically trapped micron-sized particles in a sample. The trap positions are changed by updating the holographic image displayed on a spatial light modulator. The updating process takes a finite time, resulting in a temporary decrease of the intensity, and thus the stiffness, of the optical trap. W...

The updating of reality presentation (maps or digital databases) is evolving for a wide range of applications, including mapping purposes. Several methods are in use, but lately, the main approach involves automatic change detection and incremental updating and versioning. Two main ways are possible: (i) to redraw map whenever we have to reprint a sheet, or (ii) to rebuild database, and thus be...

Multiply sectioned Bayesian networks (MSBNs) support multiagent probabilistic inference in distributed large problem domains, where agents (subdomains) are organized by a tree structure (called hypertree). In earlier work, all belief updating methods on a hypertree are made of two rounds of propagation, each of which is implemented as a recursive process. Both processes need to be started from ...

Updating a system modeled as a real symmetric quadratic eigenvalue problem to match observed spectral information has been an important task for practitioners in different disciplines. It is often desirable in the process to match only the newly measured data without tampering with the other unmeasured and often unknown eigenstructure inherent in the original model. Such an updating, known as n...

Sandpile models with randomized updating rules are studied. The randomness is not quenched, but set dynamically by the dissipation events (avalanches) in the system. Relaxation from fixed updating rules is here a consequence of medium anisotropy and motivated by the behavior of various driven physical systems. A one-dimensional sandpile model in which the critical slope at a site varies as the ...

During the process of updating a database, two interrelated problems could arise. On one hand, when an update is applied to the database, integrity constraints could become violated, thus falsifying database consistency. In this case, the integrity constraint maintenance approach tries to obtain additional updates to be applied to re-establish database consistency. On the other hand, when an up...

In a series of experiments, participants were required to keep track of 1 or 2 working memory (WM) objects, having to update their values in 80% of the trials. Updating cost, defined as the difference between update and non-update trials, was larger when 2 objects were involved compared with when there was only 1 object was involved. This finding was interpreted as evidence that the updating pr...
