Definition and reuse of robot instructions is still an art that requires extensive engineering, not only of the infrastructure but also of the adaptation of robot capabilities to the context and domain at hand. Technical approaches are numerous, but the lack of practical success is an indication of hidden difficulties, which we have experienced as complications over the last two decades. Based on

A 2 V, 6 mA, 15% tuning range, 1.8 GHz VCO implemented in a standard 0.35 μm CMOS process is presented. The phase noise of the VCO has been greatly reduced by means of on-chip filters and one off-chip low frequency inductor. The phase noise measured at 3 MHz offset from the carrier is between -141.5 dBc/Hz and -138.5 dBc/Hz over the whole tuning range

In this paper we study multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) extensions of a recently proposed model reduction algorithm for single-input-multi-output (SIMO) linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. We discuss three versions, including a trivial modification of the SIMO method. Reduced models are found by solving a convex problem with Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints given a state space model or a

This paper begins with describing a case study of using the standard Web Map Services (WMS; from Open Geospatial Consortium) for mobile applications. There are two experiences from this case study that are interesting for the generalisation community: the amount of map information on the screen and the map file size. In this paper a usability study of the amount of map information is presented. Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomst av fetma och typ 2 diabetes ökar i Sverige, liksom globalt. Över 360 miljoner människor har diabetes och prognosen för år 2030 är drygt 550 miljoner (IDF 2011). Att arbeta med förebyggande åtgärder för att minska denna utveckling är därför nödvändigt. Något som har stor betydelse för hälsan är vilken typ av mat vi väljer att äta och dess näringsmässiga kvaliteRe-occurring hyperglycaemic episodes promote subclinical low-grade inflammation and CVD in type 2 diabetes, emphasising the therapeutic role of tight blood glucose regulation. A tight blood glucose regulation is probably beneficial also in healthy subjects and mild elevations in postprandial glycaemia and triglycerides are associated with impaired flow-mediated dilation and increased markers of ox

This study examines “capabilities” in the conceptual and empirical literatures, to reveal whether indeterminateness of value is a problem within RBV, as suggested by the recent tautology debate. Conceptual studies typically relate to capabilities in terms of the desired ends of their use, whereas empirical studies conceptualize capabilities as composite constructs with desired ends and content-ori

Statistical propagation channel models for MIMO systems can be grouped into two classes: physical and analytical. Physical models describe the statistics of the multipath components and are in widespread use for implementation and testing of systems (e.g. 3GPP, IEEE 802.11n). Analytical (or nonphysical) models describe the statistics of the transfer functions between the antenna elements at the tr
