The Multi-Appendage Robotic System (MARS) built for this research is a hexapod robotic platform capable of walking and performing manipulation tasks. Designing walking gaits for such multi-limb robots requires a thorough understanding of the kinematics of the limbs, including their workspace. The speci?c abilities of a walking algorithm dictate the usable workspace for the limbs. Generally speaking, the more general the walking algorithm is, the less constricted the workspace becomes. Developed workspaces range from simple 2D geometry to complex 3D volumes. While MARS is a hexapedal robot, the tasks of de?ning the workspace and walking agorthm for all six limbs can be abstracted to a single limb using the constraint of a tripedal,...

Today, people use interactive systems to accomplish many of their professional and personal goals. The use of interactive products has become an integral part of our everyday lives. In response, interactive system development does not exclusively focus on design of useful and usable products anymore, but takes the entire user experience into account to be successful. But what determines a good user experience? To answer this question, an approach to user experience of interaction with technical systems is presented that makes theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions. A user experience framework introduces instrumental and non-instrumental quality perceptions as well as emotional user reactions as central components of...

Hierarchical temporal memory is a machine learning model developed by Jeff Hawkins and Dileep George of Numenta, Inc. that models some of the structural and algorithmic properties of the neocortex using an approach somewhat similar to Bayesian networks. HTM model is based on the memory-prediction theory of brain function described by Jeff Hawkins in his book On Intelligence. HTMs are claimed to be biomimetic models of cause inference in intelligence. Jeff Hawkins states that HTM does not present any new idea or theory, but combines existing ideas to mimic the neocortex with the simplest design that provides the greatest range of capabilities. He stated this is similar to the Palm Pilot, a device he designed that became popular because of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Sensitivity GPS receivers use large banks of correlators and digital signal processing to search for GPS signals very quickly. This results in very fast times to first fix when the signals are at their normal levels, for example outdoors. When GPS signals are weak, for example indoors, the extra processing power can be used to integrate weak signals to the point where they can be used to provide a position or timing solution. GPS signals are already very weak when they arrive at the Earth’s surface. The GPS satellites have transmitters that only deliver 27 W from a distance of 20,200 km in orbit above the Earth. By the time the signals arrive at the user's receiver, they are typically as...

Spectrally efficient modulation formats can be used to overcome the problems associated with limited channels and bandwidth of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical systems. Multilevel modulation formats are considered spectrally efficient and can double the transmission capacity by transmitting more information in the amplitude, phase, polarization or a combination of all. Here we have studied and evaluated different multilevel modulation formats in a practical optical transmission system. Such modulation formats are Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK), DQPSK with Polarization Division Multiplex (PolDM), Quaternary Intensity Modulation (4-IM, QASK), Quaternary Duobinary (QDB), and Quaternary Polarization...

Performance monitoring is one of the key features to create self-managed optical networks. Monitoring the characteristics of an optical channel is important for designing robust and reliable optical telecommunication system. This book examines the use of highly integrated ( 500 microns) and low loss ( 1 dB) in-fiber taps for monitoring the power and the wavelength of an optical signal that propagates in the core of an optical fiber. The dispersive scattered light from single of multiple tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBG) may be measured and serve as a monitoring signal. Novel power and wavelength monitors have been designed and realized by exploiting this key characteristic. The power monitor can measure the power of a single wavelength...

High fidelity or hi-fi reproduction is a term used by home stereo listeners and home audio enthusiasts (audiophiles) to refer to high-quality reproduction of sound or images that are very faithful to the original performance. Ideally, high-fidelity equipment has minimal amounts of noise and distortion and an accurate frequency response as set out in 1973 by the German Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN) standard DIN 45500. This standard was well intentioned, but only mildly successful in defining 'high-fidelity'. DIN 45 500 approval provided audio equipment buyers with reassurance that their equipment was capable of good quality reproduction. In theory, only stereo equipment that met the standard could bear the words 'hi-fi', but in...

This thesis evaluates enhancements for the existing global system for mobile communications (GSM) data service enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE). The development goal for further evolution of EDGE is to provide enhanced maximum data rates. This can only be achieved by applying higher order modulation schemes. The therefore evaluated modulation schemes 16 symbol quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) and 32QAM will be compared to 8 symbol phase shift keying (8PSK), which is already employed for EDGE. All decisive parts of the GSM/EDGE transmission chain were taken into account with the accomplished simulations and different realizations for the components have been compared. Decision--feedback equalization algorithms were...

Doping Bismuth Titanate with Sodium results in a reduction in the electrical conductivity. This is in apparent contradiction to the established conduction mechanism by holes. Sodium doping also results in phase transformation. High resolution TEM was done to study the structure of Bismuth Titanate. The mechanism of the transformation was studied by observing the transformation front and the crystallographic index of the transformation front was calculated from the Moire fringes that were observed in the high- resolution TEM image. From this, a mechanism has been proposed for the phase transformation. A model has also been developed to relate the phase fractions with the conductivity of the multi-phase samples. A model has been developed...

The increasing requirements for semiconductor (smaller geometry/high density) and flat panel/solar panel industry (large surface) are pushing the limits for level and accuracy of RF power delivery. RF instrumentation has to provide essential parameters to accurately (less then 1%) monitor and control the actual plasma impedance and RF power delivered to the plasma. The topics included in this book range from the basic elements of RF instrumentation to advanced signal processing and RF metrology. Absolute accuracy of the RF metrology is compounded by errors introduced by the measurement system, by the chosen calibration method and by power references. RF high power standards are not traceable directly to primary metrology references...
