Abstract:
We compared the output of two electronic middle ear implants: the Otologics MET™ device and the Vibrant Soundbridge™ device. Both devices were programmed in the linear amplification mode. Aided minus unaided sound pressure levels recorded in the ear canal (objective gain) were compared to unaided minus aided soundfield thresholds (functional gain) in 13 patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss. In addition, input/output characteristics were studied with the help of ear canal measurements. Objective gain was consistently lower than functional gain, with wide variation between patients and frequencies. Using input/output data measured in the ear canal in combination with functional gain data, the mean maximum output of the two devices was estimated, expressed in dB SPL. In comparison to NAL-R target values, (functional) gain was adequate; however, the maximum output was low, especially for the Vibrant Soundbridge device.

Abstract:
The demand of devices for safe mobility of blind people is increasing with advancement in wireless communication. Artificial intelligent devices with multiple input and output methods are used for reliable data estimation based on maximum probability. A model of a smart home for safe and robust mobility of blind people has been proposed. Fuzzy logic has been used for simulation. Outputs from the internet of things (IoT) devices comprising sensors and bluetooth are taken as input of the fuzzy controller. Rules have been developed based on the conditions and requirements of the blind person to generate decisions as output. These outputs are communicated through IoT devices to assist the blind person or user for safe movement. The proposed system provides the user with easy navigation and obstacle avoidance.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this paper is the design of simple combinational optoelectronic circuit based on SiC technology, able to act simultaneously as a 4-bit binary encoder or a binary decoder in a 4-to-16 line configurations. The 4-bit binary encoder takes all the data inputs, one by one, and converts them to a single encoded output. The binary decoder decodes a binary input pattern to a decimal output code.The optoelectronic circuit is realized using a a-SiC:H double pin/pin photodetector with two front and back optical gates activated trough steady state violet background. Four red, green, blue and violet input channels impinge on the device at different bit sequences allowing 16 possible inputs. The device selects, through the violet background, one of the sixteen possible input logic signals and sends it to the output.Results show that the device acts as a reconfigurable active filter and allows optical switching and optoelectronic logic functions development. A relationship between the optical inputs and the corresponding digital output levels is established. A binary color weighted code that takes into account the specific weights assigned to each bit position establish the optoelectronic functions. A truth table of an encoder that performs 16-to-1 multiplexer (MUX) function is presented.

Abstract:
Non-charge-based logic devices are promising candidates for the replacement of conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) devices. These devices utilize magnetic properties to store or process information making them power efficient. Traditionally, to fully characterize the input-output behavior of these devices a large number of micromagnetic simulations are required, which makes the process computationally expensive. Machine learning techniques have been shown to dramatically decrease the computational requirements of many complex problems. We use state-of-the-art data-efficient machine learning techniques to expedite the characterization of their behavior. Several intelligent sampling strategies are combined with machine learning (binary and multi-class) classification models. These techniques are applied to a magnetic logic device that utilizes direct exchange interaction between two distinct regions containing a bistable canted magnetization configuration. Three classifiers were developed with various adaptive sampling techniques in order to capture the input-output behavior of this device. By adopting an adaptive sampling strategy, it is shown that prediction accuracy can approach that of full grid sampling while using only a small training set of micromagnetic simulations. Comparing model predictions to a grid-based approach on two separate cases, the best performing machine learning model accurately predicts 99.92% of the dense test grid while utilizing only 2.36% of the training data respectively.

Abstract:
This approach is carry out for developing the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for controlling the forthcoming Intelligent Universal Transformer (IUT) in regard of voltages and current control in both input and output stages which is optimized by particle swarm optimization. Current or voltages errors and their time derivative have been considered as the inputs of Nero Fuzzy controller for elaborating the firing angles of converters in IUT basic construction. ANFIS constructed from a fuzzy inference system (FIS) in which the membership function parameters are tuned according to the back propagation algorithm or in conjunction to the least squares method. A neural network maps inputs through input membership functions and associated parameters, and output membership functions and associated parameters to outputs which interprets the input-output map. The associated parameters of membership functions change through the learning algorithm by a gradient vector modeling the input output data in case of given parameters. Optimization method will be investigated to adjust the parameters according to error reduction computed by sum of the squared variation from actual outputs to the desired ones. Advanced Distribution Automation (ADA) is the state of art introducing for tomorrows distribution automation with the new invention in management and control. ADA is equipping by the Intelligent Equipment Devices (IED) in which IUT is a key point introducing as an intelligent transformer subjecting for tomorrows distribution automation in the near future.

Abstract:
All-optical devices will play a very significant and crucial role in the modern all-optical network by eliminating the bottleneck of opto-electro-opto- (O-E-O-) conversion. Unfortunately, the conventional logic gates lose information at the output, and the states of the outputs cannot give any credible impressions of the states of the inputs. In this article, at first, the authors have proposed a method of designing an optical three-input-three-output reversible Peres gate. Authors have deployed polarization switching characteristic of Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) for designing this circuit. The authors have also proposed a method of designing an optical reversible full adder, using two such Peres gates and subsequently a data recovery circuit which can recover the input data of the adder. The authors have chosen frequency encoded data for processing the operation. The proposed scheme has been verified by simulation results.

Abstract:
With the escalation of heterogeneous data traffic, the research on optical wireless communication (OWC) has attracted much attention, owing to its advantages such as wide spectrum, low power consumption and high security. Ubiquitous optical devices, e.g. light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and cameras, are employed to support optical wireless links. Since the distribution of these optical devices is usually dense, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) can be naturally adopted to attain spatial diversity gain or spatial multiplexing gain. As the scale of OWC networks enlarges, optical MIMO can also collaborate with network-level operations, like user/AP grouping, to enhance the network throughput. Since OWC is preferred for short-range communications and is sensitive to the directions/rotations of transceivers, optical MIMO links vary frequently and sharply in outdoor scenarios when considering the mobility of optical devices, raising new challenges to network design. In this work, we present an overview of optical MIMO techniques, as well as the cooperation of MIMO and user/AP grouping in OWC networks. In consideration of the challenges for outdoor OWC, key technologies are then proposed to facilitate the adoption of optical MIMO in outdoor scenarios, especially in vehicular ad hoc networks. Lastly, future applications of MIMO in OWC networks are discussed. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Optical wireless communication’.

Abstract:
Fuzzy logic has been applied successfully to systems modeling for ages. One of its main advantages is that it provides an understandable knowledge representation. Nevertheless, most investigations have focused their efforts on achieving accurate models and by doing so, they have omitted the linguistic capabilities of fuzzy logic.

This thesis researches into the issues related to intelligible fuzzy models, because since science demonstrated the use of fuzzy logic when searching optimal models in terms of error (in fact a fuzzy model is a universal approximator), some but few investigators have focused their efforts in order to achieve really intelligible models in spite of losing some accuracy.

In this work we propose a whole methodology able to find an intelligible fuzzy model in a local manner (rule by rule) from input-output data. In this sense we find the number and position of the necessary fuzzy sets and also the linguistic rules related to them. For this purpose we have developed a hierarchical process which takes into account several steps and techniques, some of which are original contributions.

The resulting method is very simple and also intelligible. Therefore, this solution performs the final models with a low computational cost, but furthermore, allows the tuning of its different options depending on the nature of the problem and the characteristics of the users.

In this thesis we explain the whole methodology and illustrate its advantages (but also its problems) with several examples which are benchmarks in most cases.

Abstract:
As a highly effective physical-layer interference management technique, the joint detection of a vector of non-orthogonal information-bearing symbols simultaneously transmitted over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels is of fundamental importance for high throughput digital communications. This is because the generic mathematical model of MIMO detection underpins a wide range of relevant applications including (but not limited to) the equalization of dispersive band-limited channels imposing intersymbol interference (ISI), the multiuser detection (MUD) in code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems and the multi-stream detection for multiple-antenna based spatial-division multiplexing (SDM) systems. With the evolution of wireless networks, the “virtual MIMO” concept was conceived,which is also described by the generic mathematical MIMO model. MIMO detection becomes even more important, because the achievable performance of spectrum-efficient wireless networks is typically interference-limited, rather than noise-limited. In this thesis, a pair of detection methods that are well-suited for large-scale MIMO systems are investigated. The first one is the probabilistic data association (PDA) algorithm, which is essentially an interference-modelling approach based on iterative Gaussian approximation. The second one is the semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation based approach, which approximates the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) detection problem to a convex optimization problem. The main advantage of both methods is that they impose a moderate computational complexity that increases as a polynomial function of the problem size, while providing competitive performance. The contributions of this thesis can be broadly categorized into two groups. The first group is related to the design of virtually antipodal (VA) detection of rectangular M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) symbols transmitted in SDM-MIMO systems. As a foundation, in the first parts of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 the rigorous mathematical relationship between the vector space of transmitted bits and that of transmitted rectangular M-QAM symbols is investigated. Both linear and nonlinear bit-to-symbol mappings are considered. It is revealed that the two vector spaces are linked by linear/quasi-linear transformations, which are explicitly characterized by certain transformation matrices. This formulation may potentially be applicable to many signal processing problems of wireless communications. For example, when used for detection of rectangular M-QAM symbol vector, it enables us to transform the conventional three-step “signal-to-symbol-to-bits” decision process to a direct “signal-to-bits” decision process. More specifically, based on the linear VA transformation, in Chapter 2 we propose a unified bit-based PDA (B-PDA) detection method for linear natural mapping aided rectangular M-QAM symbols transmitted in SDM-MIMO systems. We show that the proposed linear natural mapping based B-PDA approach attains an improved detection performance, despite dramatically reducing the omputational complexity in contrast to the conventional symbol-based PDA detector. Furthermore, in Chapter 3 a quasi-linear VA transformation based generalized low-complexity semidefinite programming relaxation (SDPR) detection approach is proposed for Gray-coded rectangular M-QAM signalling over MIMO channels. Compared to the linear natural mapping based B-PDA of Chapter 2, the quasi-linear VA transformation based SDPR method is capable of directly deciding on the information bits of the ubiquitous Gray-mapping aided rectangular M-QAM by decoupling the M-QAM constellation into several 4-QAM constellations. Moreover, it may be readily combined with the low-complexity bit-flipping based “hill climbing” technique for exploiting the unequal error protection (UEP) property of rectangular M-QAM, and the resultant VA-SDPR detector achieves the best bit-error rate (BER) performance among the known SDPR-based MIMO detectors conceived for high-order QAM constellations, while still maintaining the same order of polynomial-time worst-case computational complexity. Additionally, we reveal that the linear natural mapping based VA detectors attain the same performance provided by the binary reflected Gray mapping based VA detectors, but the former are simpler for implementation. Therefore, only if there are other constraints requiring using the nonlinear Gray mapping, it is preferable to use the linear natural mapping rather than the Gray mapping, when the VA detectors are used in uncoded MIMO systems. The second group explores the application of the PDA-aided detectors in some more sophisticated systems that are of great interest to the wireless research community. In particular, the design of iterative detection and decoding (IDD) schemes relying on the proposed low complexity PDA methods is investigated for the turbo-coded MIMO systems in Chapter 4 and 5. It has conventionally been regarded that the existing PDA algorithms output the estimated symbol-wise a posteriori probabilities (APPs) as soft information. In Chapter 4 and 5, however, we demonstrate that these probabilities are not the true APPs in the rigorous mathematical sense, but a type of nominal APPs, which are unsuitable for the classic architecture of IDD receivers. Moreover, our study shows that the known methods of calculating the bit-wise extrinsic logarithmic likelihood ratios (LLRs) are no longer applicable to the conventional PDA based methods when detecting M-ary modulation symbols. Additionally, the existing PDA based MIMO detectors typically operate purely in the probabilistic domain. Therefore, the existing PDA methods are not readily applicable to IDD receivers. To overcome this predicament, in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 we propose the approximate Bayes’ theorem based logarithmic domain PDA (AB-Log-PDA) and the exact Bayes’ theorem based logarithmic domain PDA (EB-Log-PDA) detectors, respectively. We present the approaches of calculating the bit-wise extrinsic LLRs for both the AB-Log-PDA and the EB-Log-PDA, which makes them well-suited for IDD receivers. Furthermore, we demonstrate that invoking inner iterations within the PDA algorithms – which is common practice in PDA-aided uncoded MIMO systems – would actually degrade the IDD receiver’s performance, despite significantly increasing its overall computational complexity. Additionally, we investigate the relationship between the extrinsic LLRs of the proposed EB-Log-PDA and of the AB-Log-PDA. It is also shown that both the proposed AB-Log-PDA- and the EB-Log-PDA-based IDD schemes dispensing with any inner PDA iterations are capable of achieving a performance comparable to that of the optimal maximum a posteriori (MAP) detector based IDD receiver in the scenarios considered, despite their significantly lower computational complexity. Finally, in Chapter 6, a base station (BS) cooperation aided distributed soft reception scheme using the symbol-based PDA algorithm and soft combining (SC) is proposed for the uplink of multiuser multicell MIMO systems. The realistic 19-cell hexagonal cellular model relying on radical unity frequency reuse (FR) is considered, and local cooperation based message passing is used instead of a global message passing chain for the sake of reducing the backhaul traffic. We show that despite its moderate complexity and backhaul traffic, the proposed distributed PDA (DPDA) aided SC (DPDA-SC) reception scheme significantly outperforms the conventional non-cooperative benchmarkers. Furthermore, since only the index of the quantized converged soft information has to be exchanged between collaborative BSs for SC, the proposed DPDA-SC scheme is relatively robust to the quantization errors of the soft information exchanged. As an appealling benefit, the backhaul traffic is dramatically reduced at a negligible performance degradation.

Abstract:
The human haptic system has an important role to play in human interaction with Virtual Environments (VEs). Unlike the visual and auditory systems, the haptic sense is capable of both sensing and acting on the environment and is an indispensable part of many human activities. In order to provide the realism needed for effective and compelling applications, VEs need to provide inputs to, and mirror the outputs of, the haptic system. These characteristics are the most important issues in the design of confined spaces and mechanical constructions using 6 DOF input devices in Immersive Projection Technology (IPT) or Cave-like systems. Inputs to the haptic system are in the form of haptic displays and outputs are actuator action commands, where the primary input/output variables are displacements and forces. The idea of total free movement in the IPT system was one of the corner stones of the present study. Therefore the force feedback system should also be wearable. The observer is able to reach objects placed above and below, grip them, and move freely in virtual space. This paper discusses the hardware and software structure of the haptic force feedback system for an IPT system, the theoretical functionality of McKibben actuators and the measured performance of a glove. Force control is based on fast solenoid valves, PID controller and a developed pneumatic muscle model. Muscle actuators are attached to the forearm and control the electronics and valves to a wearable backpack. A developed sensing and force-reflecting exoskeleton applies force to all four fingers and also the thumb. The device has five active DOFs, one for each finger. An ascension motion tracking device is used to track the position and orientation of the forearm. A Fifth Dimensional Technologies fiber optics data glove is used to measure the position of the fingers and provides better information on finger movements. Virtools 4.0 software and VRPN interface was used to connect the data glove, feedback device and PC-cluster.

Abstract:
Abstract The next frontier of MEMS applications is their use as computing units to harness data at the sensor level. In particular, MEMS intelligent computing unit has the unique promise of significantly increasing energy efficiency while simultaneously increasing data processing speeds and eliminating data latency in many applications such as wearable devices. Along this line, this paper presents a demonstration of the first simulated microelectromechanical (MEMS) network capable of classifying real-life experimental data based on acceleration measurement to distinguish between sitting and standing behaviors without the need for any computing or processing unit. The MEMS network is made of four MEMS; two MEMS in the input layer and two in the output layer. The first MEMS in the input layer is responsible for detecting a rising edge acceleration and allows the first MEMS in the output layer to be triggered at a following falling edge of the acceleration signal. This signature corresponds to the sitting activity. On the other hand, the second MEMS in the input layer is responsible for detecting the falling edge of the acceleration signal and allows the second output MEMS to declare a standing activity if it detects a following falling edge signal. This work demonstrates the potential of distinguishing between the sit and stand activities without any computing unit.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper is concerned with an experimental assessment of the application of both Electrorheological (ER) and Magnetorheological (MR) fluids in the control of impulsively applied loads. The ER device was built as a squeeze cell incorporating a chemically simple ER fluid, consisting of a suspension of a polymeric compound in a dielectric liquid carrier, sandwiched between two electrodes which, during impact, move towards each other, whilst the MR device was a commercially available vibration absorber. Each device was mounted in an experimental drop-hammer rig, which was capable of determining the instantaneous responses of the fluids for a range of applied loads. The transient characteristics of the devices were assessed for various mechanical force levels and, for the ER device, under DC excitation of the fluid in conjunction with a digital controller to provide a constant applied electrical field. Input and output force levels were monitored using a dedicated data acquisition system in conjunction with a PC enabling the dynamic response of the devices to be determined using a combination of displacement, force, velocity and acceleration measurements.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a preliminary study on characterizing the synchronized heterogeneous viscous behavior of soft materials upon macroscopic sinusoidal loading. Built upon a polymer-based microfluidic device capable of detecting distributed normal loads at a spatial resolution of 1.5mm, a rigid cylinder probe is employed to exert a macroscopic sinusoidal load on a sample placed on the device. Consequently, the synchronized heterogeneous viscous behavior of a sample translates to sinusoidal distributed loads, which are captured by the device. In a measurement, the input and output signals of a sample are the macroscopic sinusoidal load and the DC voltage outputs of the device, respectively, with the latter being representative of the sinusoidal deflections of a sample along its length. A preliminary data analysis is conducted on the recorded input and output signals to obtain their phase shifts at different frequencies, which are representative of the heterogeneous viscosity of a sample along its length. Several agar and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) samples and two animal cartilage tissue samples are prepared and measured. Variations among the measured phase shifts in a sample manifest its structural heterogeneity and demonstrate the feasibility of using the device to characterize the synchronized heterogeneous viscous behavior of soft materials upon macroscopic loading.

Abstract:
The design of a new device called Tissue Resonator Indenter Device (TRID) for measuring soft tissue viscoelastic properties is presented. The two degrees-of-freedom device works based on mechanical vibration principles. When TRID comes into contact with a soft tissue, it can identify the tissue’s viscoelastic properties through the change of the device’s natural frequencies and damping ratios. In this paper, the deign of TRID is presented assuming Kelvin model for tissues. By working in the linear viscoelastic domain, TRID is designed to identify tissue properties in the range of 0–100 Hz. Assuming Kelvin model for tissues, the current paper develops a method for determining unknown tissue parameters using input-output data from TRID. Moreover, it is proved that the TRID’s parameters as well as the Kelvin tissue model parameters are globally identifiable. A parametric identification method using the prediction error approach is proposed for identifying the unknown tissue parameters in a grey-box state-space model. The reliability and effectiveness of the method for measuring soft tissue’s viscoelastic properties is demonstrated through simulation in the presence of considerable input and output noises.

Abstract:
Online fault prediction in bearing plays a key role in industry automation for higher productivity and product quality. In this way Acoustic Emission Technology (AET) is one of the earliest documented applications that has been developed to rotating machinery monitoring. Predictions of output parameters in journal bearing are Junction of operational parameters in test–rig. In this paper an experimental work which is set-up by different load and speed and three viscosity type of one oil has been used for hydrodynamic bearing. During the tests, acoustic emission output parameters (AE RMS, ABS energy) were obtained. Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Interface System (ANFIS) as an advanced statistical method has been applied to predict the relationship between input and output parameters. In this way, obtained data was trained and the precision of the predicted model was tested to find efficiency of the proposed method. The results show that this method can predict AE output parameters by 0.1% error. In this way the effectiveness, as well as the ability of the proposed method for data mining is evaluable.

Abstract:
Abstract With enormous amounts of data being generated every day from countless sensors and sensor networks, the need for intelligent devices to process and make use of this data continues to grow and is only projected to increase. The advent of wearable technologies has exacerbated this problem, and with researchers struggling to process data locally with small power budgets, it is clear a solution is needed. Micro-electromechanical (MEMS)-based innovation will have high impact on these issues. MEMS devices can process computing taskes in the hardware level which consumes almost no power (nW). They are very small in size and do the classification without the need of storing the data which boosts up the power saving. Toward this goal, simulation results for a MEMS network to perform basic neural computing is shown in this paper. The network is made up of a mechanically connected network of three electrostatically controlled microstructures, two of which serve as input layers and the third as output (computing) layers. The mechanical coupling was achieved through stiffnesses connecting the masses of the MEMS. It has been demonstrated that such a device may be programmed to distinguish between a ramp (gradually growing) input signal and a step (abruptly rising) by applying suitable bias voltages to the electrostatic control electrodes. The findings serve as a proof of concept and founding to completing more sophisticated computational tasks using MEMS and opening a new direction for alternative efficient computing technologies compared to current digital computing.

Abstract:
Abstract In the last several years emission microscopy has become an essential tool for failure analysis, specifically for VLSI devices. This paper describes various die related failure mechanisms in CMOS ASIC devices which were detected by emission microscopy. The failure analysis results discussed in this paper are primarily of the devices which were analyzed over the period of the last three years, 1994 - 1996. These devices were from a broad spectrum of final test failures, qualification and reliability test failures, special evaluation failures, testing and assembly failures at customer sites, and end user field failures. In addition to the failure mechanism statistic scanning electron micrographic illustrations of some of the failure mechanisms and associated damage are presented in this paper. The data presented in this paper clearly show the effectiveness of photon emission microscopy. The value of emission microscopy really lies in quick detection of failure locations on the die which failed functionally or due to excessive static IOD, functional IOD, or input/output leakage currents. It has certainly impacted tum around time of the analysis as significant reduction in analysis time has been achieved. In some cases same day turn around was possible.

Abstract:
The objectives of this project were to develop nondestructive methods for detection of internal properties and firmness of fruits and vegetables. One method was based on a soft piezoelectric film transducer developed in the Technion, for analysis of fruit response to low-energy excitation. The second method was a dot-matrix piezoelectric transducer of North Carolina State University, developed for contact-pressure analysis of fruit during impact. Two research teams, one in Israel and the other in North Carolina, coordinated their research effort according to the specific objectives of the project, to develop and apply the two complementary methods for quality control of agricultural commodities. In Israel: An improved firmness testing system was developed and tested with tropical fruits. The new system included an instrumented fruit-bed of three flexible piezoelectric sensors and miniature electromagnetic hammers, which served as fruit support and low-energy excitation device, respectively. Resonant frequencies were detected for determination of firmness index. Two new acoustic parameters were developed for evaluation of fruit firmness and maturity: a dumping-ratio and a centeroid of the frequency response. Experiments were performed with avocado and mango fruits. The internal damping ratio, which may indicate fruit ripeness, increased monotonically with time, while resonant frequencies and firmness indices decreased with time. Fruit samples were tested daily by destructive penetration test. A fairy high correlation was found in tropical fruits between the penetration force and the new acoustic parameters; a lower correlation was found between this parameter and the conventional firmness index. Improved table-top firmness testing units, Firmalon, with data-logging system and on-line data analysis capacity have been built. The new device was used for the full-scale experiments in the next two years, ahead of the original program and BARD timetable. Close cooperation was initiated with local industry for development of both off-line and on-line sorting and quality control of more agricultural commodities. Firmalon units were produced and operated in major packaging houses in Israel, Belgium and Washington State, on mango and avocado, apples, pears, tomatoes, melons and some other fruits, to gain field experience with the new method. The accumulated experimental data from all these activities is still analyzed, to improve firmness sorting criteria and shelf-life predicting curves for the different fruits. The test program in commercial CA storage facilities in Washington State included seven apple varieties: Fuji, Braeburn, Gala, Granny Smith, Jonagold, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and D'Anjou pear variety. FI master-curves could be developed for the Braeburn, Gala, Granny Smith and Jonagold apples. These fruits showed a steady ripening process during the test period. Yet, more work should be conducted to reduce scattering of the data and to determine the confidence limits of the method. Nearly constant FI in Red Delicious and the fluctuations of FI in the Fuji apples should be re-examined. Three sets of experiment were performed with Flandria tomatoes. Despite the complex structure of the tomatoes, the acoustic method could be used for firmness evaluation and to follow the ripening evolution with time. Close agreement was achieved between the auction expert evaluation and that of the nondestructive acoustic test, where firmness index of 4.0 and more indicated grade-A tomatoes. More work is performed to refine the sorting algorithm and to develop a general ripening scale for automatic grading of tomatoes for the fresh fruit market. Galia melons were tested in Israel, in simulated export conditions. It was concluded that the Firmalon is capable of detecting the ripening of melons nondestructively, and sorted out the defective fruits from the export shipment. The cooperation with local industry resulted in development of automatic on-line prototype of the acoustic sensor, that may be incorporated with the export quality control system for melons. More interesting is the development of the remote firmness sensing method for sealed CA cool-rooms, where most of the full-year fruit yield in stored for off-season consumption. Hundreds of ripening monitor systems have been installed in major fruit storage facilities, and being evaluated now by the consumers. If successful, the new method may cause a major change in long-term fruit storage technology. More uses of the acoustic test method have been considered, for monitoring fruit maturity and harvest time, testing fruit samples or each individual fruit when entering the storage facilities, packaging house and auction, and in the supermarket. This approach may result in a full line of equipment for nondestructive quality control of fruits and vegetables, from the orchard or the greenhouse, through the entire sorting, grading and storage process, up to the consumer table. The developed technology offers a tool to determine the maturity of the fruits nondestructively by monitoring their acoustic response to mechanical impulse on the tree. A special device was built and preliminary tested in mango fruit. More development is needed to develop a portable, hand operated sensing method for this purpose. In North Carolina: Analysis method based on an Auto-Regressive (AR) model was developed for detecting the first resonance of fruit from their response to mechanical impulse. The algorithm included a routine that detects the first resonant frequency from as many sensors as possible. Experiments on Red Delicious apples were performed and their firmness was determined. The AR method allowed the detection of the first resonance. The method could be fast enough to be utilized in a real time sorting machine. Yet, further study is needed to look for improvement of the search algorithm of the methods. An impact contact-pressure measurement system and Neural Network (NN) identification method were developed to investigate the relationships between surface pressure distributions on selected fruits and their respective internal textural qualities. A piezoelectric dot-matrix pressure transducer was developed for the purpose of acquiring time-sampled pressure profiles during impact. The acquired data was transferred into a personal computer and accurate visualization of animated data were presented. Preliminary test with 10 apples has been performed. Measurement were made by the contact-pressure transducer in two different positions. Complementary measurements were made on the same apples by using the Firmalon and Magness Taylor (MT) testers. Three-layer neural network was designed. 2/3 of the contact-pressure data were used as training input data and corresponding MT data as training target data. The remaining data were used as NN checking data. Six samples randomly chosen from the ten measured samples and their corresponding Firmalon values were used as the NN training and target data, respectively. The remaining four samples' data were input to the NN. The NN results consistent with the Firmness Tester values. So, if more training data would be obtained, the output should be more accurate. In addition, the Firmness Tester values do not consistent with MT firmness tester values. The NN method developed in this study appears to be a useful tool to emulate the MT Firmness test results without destroying the apple samples. To get more accurate estimation of MT firmness a much larger training data set is required. When the larger sensitive area of the pressure sensor being developed in this project becomes available, the entire contact 'shape' will provide additional information and the neural network results would be more accurate. It has been shown that the impact information can be utilized in the determination of internal quality factors of fruit. Until now,

Abstract:
Gridded elevation models of the earth’s surface derived from airborne lidar data or other sources can provide qualitative and quantitative information about the terrain and its surface features through analysis of the local spatial variation in elevation. The DEM Breakline and Differencing Analysis Tool was developed to extract and display micro-terrain features and vegetative cover based on the numerical modeling of elevation discontinuities or breaklines (breaks-in-slope), slope, terrain ruggedness, local surface optima, and the local elevation difference between first surface and bare earth input models. Using numerical algorithms developed in-house at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Geospatial Research Laboratory, various parameters are calculated for each cell in the model matrix in an initial processing phase. The results are combined and thresholded by the user in different ways for display and analysis. A graphical user interface provides control of input models, processing, and display as color-mapped overlays. Output displays can be saved as images, and the overlay data can be saved as raster layers for input into geographic information systems for further analysis.

Abstract:
We explicitly derive a relationship between bilateral real exchange rates and primary commodity prices in a model that highlights the role of heterogeneity in production structures across countries. Fluctuations of just a few primary commodity prices account for between one third and one half of the volatility of the bilateral exchange rates of the United States against Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Once we calibrate our quantitative model with data from input-output matrices and shocks to generate the observed commodity price fluctuations, our model delivers the same volatility and persistence of real exchange rates as in the data.

Full text
Abstract:
The Geospatial Remote Assessment for Ingress Locations (GRAIL) Tools software is a geospatial product developed to locate austere entry landing zones (LZs) for military aircraft. Using spatial datasets like land classification and slope, along with predefined LZ geometry specifications, GRAIL Tools generates binary suitability filters that distinguish between suitable and unsuitable terrain. GRAIL Tools combines input suitability filters, searches for LZs at user‐defined orientations, and plots results. To refine GRAIL Tools, we: (a) verified software output; (b) conducted validation assessments using five unpaved LZ sites; and (c) assessed input dataset resolution on outcomes using 30 and 1‐m datasets. The software was verified and validated in California and the Baltics, and all five LZs were correctly identified in either the 30 or the 1‐m data. The 30‐m data provided numerous LZs for consideration, while the 1‐m data highlighted hazardous conditions undetected in the 30‐m data. Digital elevation model grid size affected results, as 1‐m data produced overestimated slope values. Resampling the data to 5 m resulted in more realistic slopes. Results indicate GRAIL Tools is an asset the military can use to rapidly assess terrain conditions.

Full text
Abstract:
We introduce a quantum neural network, QNN, that can represent labeled data, classical or quantum, and be trained by supervised learning. The quantum circuit consists of a sequence of parameter dependent unitary transformations which acts on an input quantum state. For binary classification a single Pauli operator is measured on a designated readout qubit. The measured output is the quantum neural network’s predictor of the binary label of the input state. We show through classical simulation that parameters can be found that allow the QNN to learn to correctly distinguish the two data sets. We then discuss presenting the data as quantum superpositions of computational basis states corresponding to different label values. Here we show through simulation that learning is possible. We consider using our QNN to learn the label of a general quantum state. By example we show that this can be done. Our work is exploratory and relies on the classical simulation of small quantum systems. The QNN proposed here was designed with near-term quantum processors in mind. Therefore it will be possible to run this QNN on a near term gate model quantum computer where its power can be explored beyond what can be explored with simulation.

Full text
Abstract:
Employing numerical prediction models can be a powerful tool for forecasting air quality and visibility hazards related to dust events. However, these numerical models are sensitive to surface conditions. Roughness features (e.g., rocks, vegetation, furrows, etc.) that shelter or attenuate wind flow over the soil surface affect the magnitude and spatial distribution of dust emission. To aide in simulating the emission phase of dust transport, we used a previously published albedo-based drag partition parameterization to better represent the component of wind friction speed affecting the immediate soil sur-face. This report serves as a guide for integrating this parameterization into the Weather Research and Forecasting with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model. We include the procedure for preprocessing the required input data, as well as the code modifications for the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) dust emission module. In addition, we provide an example demonstration of output data from a simulation of a dust event that occurred in the Southwestern United States, which incorporates use of the drag partition.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) has been employed for pavement design by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) since 2009 and has generated efficient pavement designs with a lower cost. It has been demonstrated that the success of MEPDG implementation depends largely on a high level of accuracy associated with the information supplied as design inputs. Vehicular traffic loading is one of the key factors that may cause not only pavement structural failures, such as fatigue cracking and rutting, but also functional surface distresses, including friction and smoothness. In particular, truck load spectra play a critical role in all aspects of the pavement structure design. Inaccurate traffic information will yield an incorrect estimate of pavement thickness, which can either make the pavement fail prematurely in the case of under-designed thickness or increase construction cost in the case of over-designed thickness. The primary objective of this study was to update the traffic design input module, and thus to improve the current INDOT pavement design procedures. Efforts were made to reclassify truck traffic categories to accurately account for the specific axle load spectra on two-lane roads with low truck traffic and interstate routes with very high truck traffic. The traffic input module was updated with the most recent data to better reflect the axle load spectra for pavement design. Vehicle platoons were analyzed to better understand the truck traffic characteristics. The unclassified vehicles by traffic recording devices were examined and analyzed to identify possible causes of the inaccurate data collection. Bus traffic in the Indiana urban areas was investigated to provide additional information for highway engineers with respect to city streets as well as highway sections passing through urban areas. New equivalent single axle load (ESAL) values were determined based on the updated traffic data. In addition, a truck traffic data repository and visualization model and a TABLEAU interactive visualization dashboard model were developed for easy access, view, storage, and analysis of MEPDG related traffic data.
