Show moreA robotic cane may include a grip handle, a cane body extending from the grip handle at a first end, a motorized omni-directional wheel coupled to a second end of the cane body, a balance control sensor, and a controller module. The balance control sensor provides a balance signal corresponding to an orientation of the robotic cane. The controller module may receive the balance signal from the balance control sensor and calculate a balancing velocity of the motorized omni-directional wheel based at least in part on the balance signal and an inverted pendulum control algorithm. The controller module may further provide a drive signal to the motorized omni-directional wheel in accordance with the calculated balancing velocity. The calculated balancing velocity is a speed and direction of the motorized omni-directional wheel to retain the robotic cane in an substantially upright position.

Show moreA computer-implemented depth estimation method based on non-parametric Census transform with adaptive window patterns and semi-global optimization. A modified cross-based cost aggregation technique adaptively creates the shape of the cross for each pixel distinctly. In addition, a depth refinement algorithm fills holes within the estimated depth map using the surrounding background depth pixels and sharpens the object boundaries by exerting a trilateral filter to the generated depth map. The trilateral filter uses the curvature of pixels as well as texture and depth information to sharpen the edges.

Show moreLive load factors of Strength I limit state for continuous girder highway bridges are calibrated based on reliability concept adopted by AASHTO LRFD and LRFR specifications. A uniform reliability is maintained for multi-girder highway bridges with various span lengths. WIM data, gathered by California, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Illinois State Department of Transportation are analyzed. Live load effects produced by WIM data are calculated using influence lines. Expected maximum live load effects in given periods are modeled and extrapolated by Gumbel distribution. A relativecalibration formula is developed in order to derive live load correction factors for designing/evaluating continuous highway bridges at a reliability level that is in consistent with simply supported highway bridges. Computer programming is conducted for data sorting and traffic statistical analysis.

Show moreStatistical process monitoring (SPM) is used in food processing industries to improve productivity and product quality. SPM can also provide information to operators on how close a process is to non-compliance to product safety limits, and carry out periodic checks of sensor accuracy at high frequency. Traditional SPM tools such as Shewhart charts are not appropriate for continuous food processes because of autocorrelation in data. Four alternative SPM techniques are presented and applied to high temperature short time (HTST) dairy pasteurization. The study attempted to achieve compliance of the HTST process operation with the recommended Pasteurized Milk Ordinance by providing a margin between the alarm limits of the monitoring chart and the safety limits. Monitoring of residuals and parameter change detection techniques ave used for monitoring processes with autocorrelated variables. Hotelling's T-2 and residuals of canonical variates techniques are used for monitoring multivariable processes.

Show moreThe heavy quark content associated with gauge boson production is of great interest to studies of QCD. These events probe the gluon and heavy-quark parton distribution functions of the proton, and also provide a measurement of the rate of final state gluon splitting to heavy favor. In addition, gauge boson plus heavy quark events are representative of backgrounds to Higgs, single top, and supersymmetric particle searches. Recent work with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron has measured the cross-section of several gauge boson plus heavy flavor production processes, including the first Tevatron observation of specific charm process p͞p → W + c. Results are found to be in agreement with NLO predictions that include an enhanced rate of g → c͞c =b͞b splitting. Lastly, a new analysis promises to probe a lower pT (c) region than has yet been explored, by fully reconstructing D* → D^0 (Kπ)π decays in the full CDF dataset (9:7 fb^1).

Title: EVALUATING DYNAMIC JOB PERFORMANCE: A FIELD STUDY OF DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE RATINGS

Show morePrevious research has established that job performance changes over time, yet the implications of this dynamism for performance evaluations remain unclear. Studies that have examined the implications of different dynamic performance characteristics have mostly been laboratory based and have included a variety of performance measures, except for supervisor ratings of performance. Therefore, the present study integrates and builds on the literature on dynamic performance and performance ratings by examining its effects in an applied setting. Predictions were made about how the patterns in objective performance over a 12-month performance period would relate to annual performance appraisal ratings. Based on the monthly performance of 1,100 troopers working for a state law enforcement agency, main effects were found on supervisor ratings for the mean and trend in objective performance. However, the performance trend unexpectedly had a negative association with performance ratings. An interaction between the performance trend and variability also provided new information about how dynamic performance characteristics may interact to have an influence on ratings. Findings from the current study add to the existing research on dynamic performance characteristics and performance ratings, but more research is needed to understand the implications for different jobs and contexts.

Show moreThe primary aim of this study is to address the neuropsychological functioning of adults with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) by examining the association of illness-related and psychosocial factors with cognition. The neuropsychological functioning of adults with SCD will be compared to that of controls matched on gender, race, and age. There is considerable evidence for neuropsychological complications associated with SCD (Anie, 2005; Schatz, 2004). Much of the cognitive deficits are thought to be the result of cerebrovascular accidents commonly suffered by this population. Studies of cognition in children with SCD suggest that cognitive complications tend to increase with age. Particularly implicated are deficits in attention, concentration, and executive functioning. Although the specific neuropsychological morbidity is not as clearly understood for adults with SCD as it is for children, global cognitive impairment within this population has been documented. In addition, pain negatively affects cognitive functioning in both children and adults (Libon et al., 2010). The pattern of impairment was suggested to be the result of additional demands on attentional capacity. However, the relationship between pain and cognitive performance in adults with sickle cell disease is less clear. As a result of frequent pain, individuals with SCD often report a low evaluation of quality of life particularly as a result of health complaints (Anie, 2005). Thus, the inter-dynamic of health -related quality of life, pain , and cognitive dysfunction is not entirely clear within the sickle cell population and therefore warrants examination.

Show moreThe present invention relates to the magnetic recording of televisions signals. The source of video signals is a television receiver. Adapter circuitry is disclosed which includes a detachable cable for coupling the magnetic transducing heads with the video output of the receiver for the purpose of recording the broadcast signal or the display of the reproduced video signal derived from the tape. Detachment of the cable places the television receiver in a condition to allow the display of the broadcast video instead of recording the broadcast video signal.
