A full analysis of equivalent encoders is presented which is subsequently used to enumerate the minimal encoders generating a convolutional code. We extend the known results on rate 1/n minimal encoders to the rate k/n case and derive enumerators for minimal encoders, canonical systematic encoders and Convolutional codes. Numerical results show that the majority of codes have minimal encoders whose...
This paper presents the Ancestral Differential Evolution (AncDE) algorithm, which extends the standard Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm by adding an archive of recently discarded ancestors. AncDE adds the ability to occasionally compute difference vectors between current and archived solutions, using these inter-generational difference vectors in place of traditional difference vectors. Results...
This paper documents current investigations which are attempting to find a suitable audio pattern to identify the moment when a prosthetic hip-joint replacement has been correctly inserted into the thigh bone. Research Questions: We have two objectives: first is there any distinctive pattern of sound frequency or resonation associated with proper femoral rasping? Second: can we predict the point where...
