The MPEG standards are an evolving set of standards for video and audio compression. MPEG 7 technology covers the most recent developments in multimedia search and retreival, designed to standardise the description of multimedia content supporting a wide range of applications including DVD, CD and HDTV.Multimedia content description, search and retrieval is a rapidly expanding research area due to the increasing amount of audiovisual (AV) data available. The wealth of practical applications available and currently under development (for example, large scale multimedia search engines and AV broadcast servers) has lead to the development of processing tools to create the description of AV material or to support the identification or retrieval of AV documents. Written by experts in the field, this book has been designed as a unique tutorial in the new MPEG 7 standard covering content creation, content distribution and content consumption. At present there are no books documenting the available technologies in such a comprehensive way.* Presents a comprehensive overview of the principles and concepts involved in the complete range of Audio Visual material indexing, metadata description, information retrieval and browsing* Details the major processing tools used for indexing and retrieval of images and video sequences* Individual chapters, written by experts who have contributed to the development of MPEG 7, provide clear explanations of the underlying tools and technologies contributing to the standard* Demostration software offering step-by-step guidance to the multi-media system components and eXperimentation model (XM) MPEG reference software* Coincides with the release of the ISO standard in late 2001.A valuable reference resource for practising electronic and communications engineers designing and implementing MPEG 7 compliant systems, as well as for researchers and students working with multimedia database technology.

This paper discusses the steady state maximum and minimum torque outputs and the operation at unity power factor of the doubly fed twin stator induction machine and the doubly fed induction machine using equations with analytical solutions. Speeds above and below the natural or synchronous speed are discussed. The results of simulations, based on a laboratory machine comprising two nominally identical wound rotor induction machines, are presented. It is shown that the maximum torque for the doubly fed machine is independent of speed and for the doubly fed twin stator induction machine there are variable maxima and minima dependent on speed.

The testing of power quality in laboratory requires waveform sources to emulate the various disturbances present in electrical networks. Often arbitrary waveform generators are used to recreate these disturbances. The main limitation of this technique is the periodicity of their output signals. To circumvent this limitation, this paper proposes the usage of the Csound sound synthesiser software package as a source of power quality waveforms. This permits the creation of real time waveforms that are accurate and of long duration. It is also shown that this approach improves the testing of the conformance of power quality analysers to existing standards.

This paper reports the three-dimensional magnetic field analysis using the magnetic network method for evaluation of parameters and performance of a claw pole permanent magnet machine. The magnetic network model is built based on the principle of equivalent magnetic flux pipes and the network equations are derived to solve the nodal magnetic scalar potentials, which are used to calculate the magnetic flux flowing through different cross-sectional areas. The results are validated by 3D finite element method. The magnetic network technique has the advantage of combining the speed of the conventional magnetic circuit method and the computational accuracy of finite element analysis.

BACKGROUND: Acute renal allograft rejection with intimal arteritis is designated by the widely used Banff 97 classification as type 2A or 2B depending on the extent of arteritis, without regard to interstitial inflammation or tubulitis. We examined whether the distinction between type 2A and 2B is relevant to short- and long-term clinical outcomes, and if outcomes in this subset of acute rejection also are affected by tubulitis, interstitial inflammation, and several additional histologic and clinical parameters. METHODS: Pathology records were searched to identify cases of acute renal allograft rejection with intimal arteritis diagnosed between January 1985 and September 2000. For each case, the patient's chart was reviewed to determine the response of the rejection episode to therapy, type(s) of therapy given, and length of graft survival. All biopsies were reviewed and Banff acute and chronic indices recorded by a pathologist blinded to these data. Biopsies not showing type 2A or 2B rejection were excluded, as were repeat biopsies from the same patient and cases with recurrent glomerular disease, viral infection, donor-specific antibodies, or more than mild chronic change. RESULTS: The initial response to anti-rejection therapy was significantly worse in patients with type 2B acute rejection (N = 29) than in those with type 2A (N = 102) by univariate and multivariate analyses, despite more aggressive treatment of type 2B rejection. In a Cox proportional hazards model the hazard ratio for graft failure for 2B versus 2A was 1.9 (P = 0.05), but this was not significant when adjusted for the initial response to therapy. Cases with minimal or mild tubulitis responded better to therapy than those with moderate or severe tubulitis, although graft survival was not significantly affected by the tubulitis score. CONCLUSIONS: The distinction between types 2A and 2B acute rejection in the Banff 97 classification has significant prognostic value with regard to both short- ...

ABSTRACTCompressive stresses in thin capping films deposited onto low-k dielectric substrates are particularly prone to relaxation through buckling. This is due to insufficient cap/low-k film adhesion energy and to the compliance of low dielectric constant films. Low-k dielectric films, especially when porous, have low elastic modulus and demonstrate poor adhesion to other layers.When adhesion is poor the cap film can locally buckle as if unconstrained. The buckle front can propagate like a crack and lead to complete delamination of the cap layer. If the cap/low-k film adhesive energy is high, wrinkling instabilities can take place under specific conditions determined by the geometry and the mechanical properties of the stack. In this case the dielectric also deforms due to stress relaxation. A theoretical and experimental evaluation of the parameters influencing the occurrence of these instabilities is presented. This study was carried out to explore the application and reliability of low-k materials as dielectrics for advanced interconnects.

AbstractClustering and labeling are basic processes in speech and image recognition. In this paper, we present the design of an analog circuit for a clustering and labeling system and the performance evaluation results based on a simulation. The number of basic computation modules becomes huge when digital LSIs are designed for parallel processing. It becomes one reason for the increase in the chip area. Therefore, we propose an architecture for a clustering/labeling circuit. It introduces the similarity circuit that utilizes the fundamental characteristics of MOS and the C matrix circuit that outputs the results of the matrix computation. We use this circuit to conduct a circuit simulation that includes statistical analysis and confirm the ability to perform feature clustering of simple speech. The proposed analog circuit has an extremely simple architecture and is expected to decrease the chip area by about 1/36 compared to an 8‐bit digital design. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractIn this paper, the missile pitch‐axis autopilot design is revisited using a new and recently available linear parameter‐varying (LPV) control technique. The missile plant model is characterized by a linear fractional transformation (LFT) representation. The synthesis task is conducted by exploiting new capabilities of the LPV method: firstly, a set of H2/H∞ criteria defined channel‐wise is considered; secondly, different Lyapunov and scaling variables are used for each channel/specification which is known to reduce conserva tism; and finally, the controller gain‐scheduling function is constructed as affine matrix‐valued function in the polytopic co‐ordinates of the scheduled parameter. All these features are examined and evaluated in turn for the missile control problem. The method is shown to provide additional flexibility to tradeoff conflicting and demanding performance and robustness specifications for the missile while preserving the practical advantage of previous single‐objective LPV methods. Finally, the method is shown to perform very satisfactorily for the missile autopilot design over a wide range of operating conditions. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper we present a neural network-based system to detect small manmade objects in sequences of sector-scan sonar images created using signals of various pulse lengths. The sonar system considered has three modes of operation to create images over ranges of up to 800 m using acoustic pulses of different durations for each mode. After initial cleaning and segmentation to extract objects, features are computed from each object. These features consist of basic object size and contrast statistics, shape moments, moment invariants, and features derived from the second-order histogram of each object. Optimal sets of 15 features from the total set of 31 are chosen using sequential feature selection techniques. Using these features a neural network is trained to detect manmade objects in any of the three sonar modes. The proposed detector is shown to perform very well when compared with detectors trained specifically for each sonar mode and a number of statistical detectors. The proposed detector achieves a 92.4% detection probability at a mean false alarm rate of 10 per frame averaged over all sonar mode settings. Finally, research into Recurrent Neural Network detectors is described and shown to further improve performance.

Estimation and control strategies applied to the robotic excavator digger are briefly presented. Variable-structure-based techniques are employed to implement impedance control of excavator dynamics, and position/force control of the electrohydraulic systems for each working axis. This control takes into consideration uncertainties in modeling, friction, and bucket-soil interactions.

AbstractPhotonic crystals have a stopband characteristic (photonic bandgap: PBG) in which the light in a specific wavelength band is strongly attenuated. This structure is expected to exhibit the possibility of fine‐structure devices with sharp bends on the order of a wavelength that cannot be realized by weakly guided waves such as those in an optical fiber and a slab waveguide. However, significant difficulties are expected for their design and fabrication. Therefore, understanding and prediction by simulation are indispensable. To date, many analyses have been carried out by the FDTD method and the BPM method. In particular, for the fabrication of functional optical‐circuit devices, it is necessary to carry out a global analysis of the photonic crystal optical waveguide, including dielectric materials with dispersion and nonlinear effects. In this paper, the fundamental properties of photonic crystal optical waveguides containing various media are analyzed by means of the special feature of treating the medium condition in the condensed node spatial network method. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The disturbance suppression problem for nonlinear systems is examined in this paper. We review the so-called nonstandard mixed sensitivity problem, which introduces an integrator to a selected weight, as well as the linear classical disturbance suppression problem and the linear H? disturbance suppression problem. We extend this H? problem to the nonlinear case, and present a method to reduce the order of the state feedback HamiltonJacobi (HJ) partial differential equation for this nonlinear H? problem by extending the concept of comprehensive stability (Proceedings of the 36th Conference on Decision and Control, 1997, p. 4653; IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron. (1998) 488). Finally, we investigate the structure of the output feedback H? controller for disturbance suppression, and draw the conclusion that, as in the linear case, there must also be an integrator in the controller.

The combination of transmission control protocol (TCP) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) to deliver transport services may incur significant performance penalties due to the interaction of congestion control algorithms of TCP and ATM. In this paper, the authors examine two control categories (explicit window adaptation [EWA] and ACK bucket control [ABC]) and their representative schemes. In particular, they propose the fair intelligent EWA scheme for EWA and the fair intelligent ABC scheme for ABC. The key idea is to combine the feedback information from the receiver, from the ATM network, and from the local information at edge device intelligently to explicitly/implicitly control the TCP rate. The authors present simulation results to show that their schemes can control the buffer occupancy at edge device efficiently and can carry the benefits of ABR end-to-end, resulting in significant improvement in throughput, fairness, packet loss rate, and end-to-end delay for TCP connections. Both schemes are transparent to TCP, requiring no modifications in the ATM networks except at the network edge device. Importantly, they allow TCP to be used with any underlying network, not just ATM, as long as the network is capable of providing explicit feedback information concerning the availability of bandwidth.

AIM: To examine the effect of ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) on the immune liver injury induced by BCG infection, and investigate the relationship between degrees of hepatic damage and NO production in mice. METHODS: Immune hepatic injury was markedly induced by BCG-pretreatment (125 mg.kg(-1), 2-week, iv) or by BCG-pretreatment plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 125 microg.kg(-1), 12-hour,iv) in mice in vivo. Hepatocellular damage induced by BCG-pretreated plus inflammatory cytokines mixture (CM), which was included TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IFN-gamma and LPS in culture medium in vitro. Administration of GLP was performed by oral or incubating with culture medium at immune stimuli simultaneity. Liver damage was determined by activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum and in hepatocytes cultured supernatant, by liver weight changes and histopathological examination. NO production in the cultured supernatant was determined by the Griess reaction. Moreover, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression was also examinated by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: Immune hepatic injury was markedly induced by BCG or BCG plus inflammatory cytokines in BALB/c mice in vivo and in vitro. Under BCG-stimulated condition, augment of the liver weight and increase of the serum/supernatant ALT level were observed, as well as granuloma forming and inflammatory cells soakage were observed by microscopic analysis within liver tissues. Moreover, NO production was also increased by BCG or/and CM stimuli in the culture supernatant, and a lot of iNOS positive staining was observed in BCG-prestimulated hepatic sections. Application of GLP significantly mitigated hepatic tumefaction, decreased ALT enzyme release and NO production in serum/supernatant, improved the pathological changes of chronic and acute inflammation induced by BCG-stimuli in mice. Moreover, the immunohistochemical result showed that GLP inhibited iNOS protein expression in BCG-immune hepatic damage ...

This paper presents a new routing strategy for mobile ad hoc networks, called dynamic zone-based topology routing protocol (DZTR). We introduce new strategies to maintain up-to-date intrazone and interzone topology information at each node. We also propose a GPS-based location tracking mechanism, which reduces route discovery area and the number of nodes queried to find the required destination. Our routing strategy has been designed to work with a dynamic zone, which contains a set of member nodes. Every node outside a zone is called a single-state node. We perform theoretical performance analysis, which shows that our network topology creation process has significantly fewer overheads than flooding approaches.

Data cache prefetching is an effective technique So improve performance of cache memories, whenever the pre fetching algorithm is able to correctly predict useful data to be prefetched. To this aim, adequate information on the program's data locality must be used by the prefetching algorithm. In particular, multimedia applications are characterized by a substantial amount of image and video processing, which exhibits spatial locality in both the dimensions of the 2D data structures used for images and frames. However, in multimedia programs many memory references are made also to non-image data, characterized by standard spatial locality. In this work, we explore the adoption of different prefetching techniques in dependence of the data type (i. e., image and non-image), thus making it possible to tune the prefetching algorithms to the different forms of locality, and achieving overall performance optimization. In order to prevent interference between the two different data types, a split cache with two separated caches for image and non-image data is also evaluated as an alternative So a standard unified cache. Results on a multimedia workload (MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoders) show that standard prefetching techniques such as One-block-lookahead and the Stride Prediction Table are effective for standard data, while novel 2D prefetching techniques perform best on image data. In addition, at a parity of size, unified caches offer in general better performance that split caches, thank to the more flexible allocation of a unified cache space.

In this demonstration, we present a unified framework for semantic shot classification in sports videos. Unlike previous approaches, which focus on clustering by aggregating shots with similar low-level features, the proposed scheme makes use of domain knowledge of specific sport to perform a top-down video shot classification, including identification of video shots classes for each sport, and supervised learning and classification of given sports video with low-level and middle-level features extracted from the sports video. It's observed that for each sport we can predefine a small number of semantic shot classes, 5-10, which cover 90 to 95 % of sports broadcasting video. With supervised learning method, we can map the low-level features to middle-level semantic video shot attributes such as dominant object motion (a player), camera motion patterns, and court shape, etc. On the basis of the appropriate fusion of those middle-level shot attributes, we classify video shots into the predefined video shot classes, each of which has a clear semantic meaning. The proposed method has been tested over 3 types of sports videos: tennis, basketball, and soccer. Good classification results ranging from 80-95% have been achieved. The proposed framework provides a generic solution for sports video semantic shot classification, which can be adapted to a new sport type easily. With correctly classified sports video shots further structural and temporal analysis will be greatly facilitated.

Copyright © 2002 IFAC. This paper is devoted to the adaptive control design for a class of nonlinearly parameterized systems assuming the so-called generalized matching condition. A simple adaptive controller with a linear-in-parameter-like structure is designed to account for general parameter-dependent plant nonlinearities. An important feature of our approach is that compactness of parameter sets is not required. Global boundedness of the overall adaptive system and convergence to zero equilibrium state with any prescribed accuracy are established. Our construction technique takes advantage of Lipschitzian properties with respect to the parameter of the plant nonlinearity.

We discuss dynamic model reduction methods which preserve a certain structure in the underlying system. Specifically, we consider the situation where the reduction must be consistent with a partition of the system states. This is motivated by, for instance, situations where state variables are associated with the topology of a networked system, and the reduction should preserve this. We build on the observation that imposing block structure to generalized controllability and observability gramians automatically yields such state partitioned model reduction. The difficulty lies in ensuring feasibility of the resulting Lyapunov inequalities, which is in general very restrictive. To overcome this, we consider coprime factor model reduction. We derive an LMI characterization of expansive coprime factorizations that preserve structure, and use this to build a more flexible method for structured model reduction. An example is given to illustrate the method.

A significant proportion of link bandwidth measurement methods are based on IP's ability to control the number of hops a packet can traverse along a route via the time-to-live (TTL) field of the IP header. A new delay variation based path model is introduced and used to analyse the fundamental networking effects underlying these methods. Insight from the model allows new link estimation methods to be derived and analysed. A new method family based on packet quartets: a combination of two packet pairs each comprising a probe following a pacesetter packet, where the TTL of the pacesetter is limited and the end-to-end delay variation of the probes is measured, is introduced. The methods provide 'pathchar-like' rate estimates over multiple links without relying on the delivery of ICMP messages, with reduced invasiveness and other advantages. The methods are demonstrated using simulations, and measurements on two different network routes are used for illustration and comparison against available tools (pathchar and clink). A comprehensive analysis of practical issues affecting the accuracy of the methods, such as link layer headers, is provided. Particular attention is paid to the consequences of 'invisible' hops: nodes where the TTL is not decreased.

A highly accurate monitoring solution for active network measurement is provided without the need for GPS, based on an alternative software clock for PC's running Unix. With respect to clock rate, it's performance exceeds common GPS and NTP synchronized software clock accuracy. It is based on the TSC register counting CPU cycles and offers a resolution of around 1ns, a rate stability of 0.1PPM equal to that of the underlying hardware, and a processing overhead well under 1µs per timestamp. It is scalable and can be run in parallel with the usual clock. It is argued that accurate rate, and not synchronised offset, is the key requirement of a clock for network measurement. The clock requires an accurate estimation of the CPU cycle period. Two calibration methods which do not require a reference clock at the calibration point are given. To the TSC clock we add timestamping optimisations to create two high accuracy monitors, one based on Linux and the other on Real-Time Linux. The TSC-RT-Linux monitor has offset fluctuations of the order of 1µs. The clock is ideally suited for high precision active measurement.

Copyright © 2002 IFAC. The missile pitch-axis autopilot design is revisited using a new and recently available LPV control technique. The missile plant model is characterized by an LFT representation. The synthesis task is conducted by exploiting new capabilities of the LPV method: a set of H2/H∞ criteria is considered and different Lyapunov and scaling variables are used for each channel/specification. The method is shown to provide additional flexibility to tradeoff conflicting and demanding performance and robustness specifications for the missile while preserving the practical advantage of previous single-objective LPV methods.

An object-oriented 3-D sound scene description scheme is proposed. The scheme establishes a way to compose and encode timevarying spatial sound scenes using audio and acoustical objects. This scheme can be used in applications where efficient coding of interactive 3-D sound scenes is needed (e.g. interactive virtual displays and videoconferencing). It can also be used in non-interactive application such as cinema and 3-D music. The scheme offers clear advantages over multi-channel 3-D sound formats regarding scalability and interactivity with the sound-scene because each object has its own set of parameters and can be modified by the end-user at the decoding stage. The objectoriented approach also allows the creation of macro-object descriptors that allow fast and efficient coding of 3-D sound scenes using references to macro-object libraries. The scheme has been implemented in a XML schema and can be used to define 3-D sound scenes in XML format in a standard way.

Numerous studies have indicated that ATM available bit rate (ABR) service can provide low-delay, fairness, and high throughput, and can handle congestion effectively inside the ATM network. However, network congestion is not really eliminated but rather it is pushed out to the edge of the ATM network, packets from TCP sources competing for the available ATM bandwidth are buffered in the routers or switches at the network edges, causing severe congestion, degraded throughput, and unfairness. This poor performance is mainly due to the uncoordinated interaction between the congestion control mechanism of TCP and ATM. It is well accepted that some form of cooperation at edge device would help to control TCP traffic flow over ATM more effectively. We have previously proposed the fair intelligent explicit window adaptation (FIEWA) scheme and fair intelligent ACK bucket control (FIABC) scheme. The key idea is to combine the feedback information from the receiver, from the underlying ATM network, and from the local information at the edge device intelligently to explicitly/implicitly control the TCP rate. We present a comparative simulation study on our schemes with other established schemes; to identify the characteristics of each different scheme; and to indicate the requirement for a fairer, simpler and more robust coherent approach at the edge device.
