Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a difficult technique and requires a great deal of practice to master. Research on the difference in movements between experts and novices performing the procedure has shown that experts perform movements more precisely than novices. Experts keep a fixed posture and use the upper arm muscles and wrist joints more effectively. These studies were conducted using optical...
In this paper, we examine the resource optimization problem in a broadcast relay network where a source broadcasts signals to the user receivers, which are distributed over a service region. The source does not have direct line-of-sight to the service area and the information is delivered through a relay. The objective of this paper is to jointly optimize the relay position as well as the power allocation...
In this paper we consider the exploitation of spatial time-frequency distribution (STFD) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems. STFD has been found useful in solving various array processing problems, such as direction finding and blind separation, where nonstationary signals are involved. Such treatment has been primarily limited to traditional array processing whereas its use in...
Palmprint verification is a relatively new but promising personal authentication technique for its high accuracy and fast matching speed. Two dimensional (2D) palmprint recognition has been well studied in the past decade, and recently three dimensional (3D) palmprint recognition techniques were also proposed. The 2D and 3D palmprint data can be captured simultaneously and they provide different and...
This paper considers the minimization of overall power transmitted from source and relay nodes in a multiuser cooperative network, constrained with the quality of service (QoS) of each user determined by their output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). In this paper, we consider a two-hop cooperative wireless network consisting of single-antenna nodes in which multiple concurrent links...
This paper presents a new biometric identifier, namely finger-knuckle-print (FKP), for personal identity authentication. First a specific data acquisition device is constructed to capture the FKP images, and then an efficient FKP recognition algorithm is presented to process the acquired data. The local convex direction map of the FKP image is extracted, based on which a coordinate system is defined...
