The Ykt6 protein represents a novel soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein receptor (SNARE), as it is the only one known without a hydrophobic transmembrane region at the carboxy terminus. For this SNARE, however, membrane interaction is thought to be mediated through a cysteine/aliphatic/aliphatic/methionine or histidine (CAAX) C-terminal motif, a consensus sequence involved in prenylated membrane anchoring. To date, two full-length Ykt6 cDNAs have been reported, these being in yeast and human, with a further protein predicted from a Caenorhabditis elegans cosmid. Using a mouse EST clone identified as having 65% homology with the human Ykt6, we isolated a cDNA clone encoding the rat Ykt6 homolog (rYkt6). Sequence analysis of rYkt6 demonstrated that a high level of species conservation exists between the rat and human prenylated SNAREs, as both the nucleotide and amino acid sequences share >90% homology. Mammalian Ykt6 is shown here for the first time to be constitutively expressed in a variety of tissues. The species conservation and ubiquitous expression of prenylated SNAREs hence may be indicative of an important and central role for these proteins in cellular protein trafficking.

An on-line fault detection and isolation technique is proposed for the diagnosis of rotor vibration. The architecture of the systems mainly consists of feature generation and fault inference. A signal-based method is used for generating the features required by the subsequent neural fuzzy inference. In the signal-based approach, both lateral and axial vibration data are used for calculating signal features such as the average, the standard deviation, the maximum, and the harmonic multiples. A neural fuzzy network is exploited for intelligent inference of faults based on the extracted features. The proposed systems are implemented on the platform of a digital signal processor. Experiments carried out for a rotor kit, a centrifugal fan, and a centrifugal pump indicate the potential of the proposed techniques in predictive maintenance.

This paper offers a new approach to the definition of manufacturing activities, placing them in a broader framework to capture the dynamics of manufacturing in the economy. After discussing why in many cases it may bc appropriate to consider producer services and tnanttfacturing industries together, the paper analyzes the development of manufacturing and producer service industries in the United States. We examine the factors leading to the growth of producer services, concluding that unbundling, the shift of some activities (such as legal, accounting, and data processing services) from manufacturing to producer services industries, is an important explanation for this growth. Finally, we discuss the relationship between manufacturing and producer services. Our analysis, based on a broader definition of manufacturing, shows that over the last two decades the U.S. manufacturing base has declined only slightly rather than radically as suggested in many studies.

Motion recognition has received increasing attention in recent years owing to heightened demand for computer vision in many domains, including the surveillance system, multimodal human computer interface, and traffic control system. Most conventional approaches classify the motion recognition task into partial feature extraction and time-domain recognition subtasks. However, the information of motion resides in the space-time domain instead of the time domain or space domain independently, implying that fusing the feature extraction and classification in the space and time domains into a single framework is preferred. Based on this notion, this work presents a novel Space-Time Delay Neural Network (STDNN) capable of handling the space-time dynamic information for motion recognition. The STDNN is unified structure, in which the low-level spatiotemporal feature extraction and high-level space-time-domain recognition are fused. The proposed network possesses the spatiotemporal shift-invariant recognition ability that is inherited from the time delay neural network (TDNN) and space displacement neural network (SDNN), where TDNN and SDNN are good at temporal and spatial shift-invariant recognition, respectively. In contrast to multilayer perceptron (MLP), TDNN, and SDNN, STDNN is constructed by vector-type nodes and matrix-type links such that the spatiotemporal information can be accurately represented in a neural network. Also evaluated herein is the performance of the proposed STDNN via two experiments. The moving Arabic numerals (MAN) experiment simulates the object's free movement in the space-time domain on image sequences. According to these results, STDNN possesses a good generalization ability with respect to the spatiotemporal shift-invariant recognition. In the lipreading experiment, STDNN recognizes the lip motions based on the inputs of real image sequences. This observation confirms that STDNN yields a better performance than the exist...

In this paper, we propose a speech recognition algorithm which utilizes hidden Markov models (HMM) and Viterbi algorithm for segmenting the input speech sequence, such that the variable-dimensional speech signal is converted into a fixed-dimensional speech signal, called TN vector. We then use the fuzzy perceptron to generate hyperplanes which separate patterns of each class from the others. The proposed speech recognition algorithm is easy for speaker adaptation when the idea of 'supporting pattern' is used. The supporting patterns are those patterns closest to the hyperplane. When a recognition error occurs, we include all the TN vectors of the input speech sequence with respect to the segmentations of all HMM models as the supporting patterns. The supporting patterns are then used by the fuzzy perceptron to tune the hyperplane that can cause correct recognition, and also tune the hyperplane that resulted in wrong recognition. Since only two hyperplane need to be tuned for a recognition error, the proposed adaptation scheme is time-economic and suitable for on-line adaptation. Although the adaptation scheme cannot ensure to correct the wrong recognition right after adaptation, the hyperplanes are tuned in the direction for correct recognition iteratively and the speed of adaptation can be adjusted by a 'belief' parameter set by the user. Several examples are used to show the performance of the proposed speech recognition algorithm and the speaker adaptation scheme.

The relation among various semantic approaches for programming in three-valued logics is further clarified, some of the main results on Lassez and Maher's consequence operator are generalized, and all possible choices of three-valued implications under the following two conditions are found: (1) Every program has the (strong or weak) model intersection property, and (2) Fixpoints or post-fixpoints of Delahaye and Thibau, Fitting, and Lassez and Maher's consequence operators associated with a program coincide with its models. To overcome some objections to programming in three-valued logics, a four-valued semantics for logic programming with negation is also proposed.

© Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1999. Human experts tend to introduce intermediate terms in giving their explanations. The expert’s explanation of such terms is operational for the context that triggered the explanation, however term definitions remain often incomplete. Further, the expert’s (re) use of these terms is hierarchical (similar to natural language). In this paper, we argue that a hierarchical incremental knowledge acquisition process that captures the expert terms and operationalises these terms while incompletely defined makes the KA task more effective. Towards this we present our knowledge representation formalism Nested Ripple Down Rules (NRDR) that is a substantial extension to the Ripple Down Rule (RDR) KA framework. It allows simultaneous incremental modelling and knowledge acquisition. In this paper we analyse the conditions under which RDR converges towards the target knowledge base (KB). We will also show that the extra maintenance cost of an NRDR KB is minimal, and that the maintenance of NRDR requires similar effort to maintaining RDR for most of the KB development cycle.

This paper addresses the control problem of the six-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator known as the Stewart platform. This manipulating structure has been well-known for its use as a flight simulator. Recently, it has become an important element in virtual reality (VR) applications for providing motion sensation to users. In this research, we first analyze the hydraulic driving system and the kinematics of the Stewart platform. We then develop a fuzzy controller for the Stewart platform. The stability of the proposed fuzzy control systems are analyzed based on the Popov criterion stability theorem. Experimental results have shown that the designed fuzzy controller can drive the six-degree motion platform accurately, smoothly, and stably.

© 1999 IEEE. Open systems are being presented as the way forward for the construction of complex computer based systems of all types. They have had some success but as with all such attempts to solve problems in computing, it is being touted as a panacea. Before the success is lost in disgruntled disappointment, this reflection attempts to establish awareness of pitfalls which may save the open systems idea from going the way of all panaceas. This paper further suggests that open systems are only, the first step towards safe and reliable computing platforms for the future, and recommends an evolutionary path which includes such concepts as stable infrastructure architectures, domain and application openness and open systems engineering.
