From Prada to Tory Burch, Calvin Klein, Fendi, Victoria Beckham, and beyond: Women designers are pointing the way forward ...

This paper deals with the extraction of multiple models from noisy or outlier-contaminated data. We cast the multi-model fitting problem in terms of set coverage, deriving a simple and effective ...

Restaurants operator The Wendy's Company (WEN) announced on Tuesday the departure of President and CEO Kirk Tanner and the ...

A novel concept of designing compliant actuators called “small load, low stiffness; large load, high stiffness” was applied and proven effective in human-robot interaction in our previous work. This ...

Piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) are finding broad acceptance in applications where precision motion (sub-nano-meter level), large actuated force and/or high frequency operation are required. However, ...

This paper deals with the parametric identification of the Bouc-Wen model for smooth hysteresis. The interest of the problem stems from the fact that the Bouc-Wen model has been used experimentally to ...

In this paper, a novel camera calibration method based on a multilevel-edge-fitting ellipse-shaped analytical model (CCM-MEF-ESAM) is proposed. First, an ellips ...

From a computational point of view, the identification of Bouc-Wen (BW) hysteresis model is a hard task due to the large number of parameters to be found. This is one of the reasons for which it is ...

Conductive hydrogels are promising candidates for next-generation wearable electronics due to their flexibility, biocompatibility, and ion-conductive properties. However, achieving a balance among ...

Thus, developing a one-model-fits-all segmentation approach is desirable. In this paper, we introduce a randomness-restricted diffusion model for multiple ocular surface structure segmentation.
