Towards enhanced control of upper prosthetic limbs: A force-myographic approach
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Reliable decoding of a user's intention is a key step to control prosthetic devices. Force myography (FMG) is often used to assess topographic force patterns resulting from volumetric changes of activated muscles. However, ...
Stain deconvolution of histology images via independent component analysis in the wavelet domain
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
With the ubiquity of digital slide scanners, histology image analysis is rapidly emerging as an active area of research. Several histology image analysis algorithms such as those for mitotic cell detection, nuclei segmentation ...
Sparsifying dictionary analysis for FIR MIMO channel-shortening equalizers
(
IEEE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a general framework that transforms the problems of designing sparse finite-impulse response channel-shortening equalizers and target impulse response filters for multiple antenna systems into the ...
A comparative analysis of thermal acceptability in offices in India and Japan
(
NCEUB 2016
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
India's building energy consumption is increasing rapidly. Fukushima disaster reshaped Japan's energy perspective. Adaptive comfort standards need to be developed for these countries. We conducted a fourteen-month thermal ...
Novel cooperative policy for cognitive radio networks: Stability region and delay analysis
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
We consider a cognitive radio system that consists of primary user, secondary user, and their destinations. The secondary user has a relaying capability, i.e., it transmits the relayed packets from the primary user. Unlike ...
Replacement policies for periodic damage models
(
International Society of Science and Applied Technologies
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A new periodic damage model for preventive replacement policies is proposed in this paper, where the damage produced by shocks is only measured at periodic times, without considering the mathematical models of the stochastic ...
Energy-Aware Cooperative Wireless Networks with Multiple Cognitive Users
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study and analyze cooperative cognitive radio networks with arbitrary number of secondary users (SUs). Each SU is considered a prospective relay for the primary user (PU) besides having its own data ...
Half-bridge modular multilevel-based HVDC converters with external pre-charged capacitors for dc fault current suppression capability
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Half-Bridge Modular Multilevel Converters (HB-MMCs) are defenseless against DC side faults. Different types of DC Circuit Breakers (DCCBs) assisted with arrester banks/damping resistors such as solid-state CBs and hybrid ...
A highly efficient PV power system for DC MicroGrids
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Climate change attracted widespread attention to shift towards environmentally friendly energy sources such as photovoltaics. Considering the facts that there are large numbers of DC loads that are used in today's buildings, ...
Band allocation for cognitive radios with buffered primary and secondary users
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study band allocation of Ms buffered secondary users (SUs) to Mp orthogonal primary licensed bands, where each primary band is assigned to one primary user (PU). Each SU is assigned to one of the available ...
