Reliable, Built-in, High-Accuracy Force Sensing for Legged Robots
(2006-06-28)
An approach for achieving reliable, built-in, high-accuracy force sensing for legged robots is presented, based on direct exploitation of the properties of a robot’s mechanical structure. The proposed methodology relies ...
Automatic generation of ETL processes from conceptual models
(11/06/2009)
Data warehouses (DW) integrate different data sources in order to give a multidimensional view of them to the decision-maker. To this aim, the ETL (Extraction, Transformation and Load) processes are responsible for extracting ...
NFC Approach: Towards a Simple Interaction
(01/01/2009)
Nowadays, there are devices with great computing capabilities and these in different places around us. This technology opens us new possibilities and allows us the simple and easy interaction between user and computer. We ...
Geophysical Investigations in the Old Panama Archaeological Site
(2006-06-28)
The results of geophysical prospections in an archaeological site of hispanic type in Panama (Central America) are presented in this article. The archaeological site of Old Panama has been intensively investigated with the ...
Seismic Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems with Structural Fuses
(2004-06-25)
Passive energy dissipation (PED) devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this article, metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) ...
A Multiagent Based Strategy for Detecting Attacks in Databases in a Distributed Mode
(2009-07-01)
This paper presents a distributed hierarchical multiagent architecture for detecting SQL injection attacks against databases. It uses a novel strategy, which is supported by a Case-Based Reasoning mechanism, which provides ...
Tunable optical filters using compound ring resonators for DWDM
(07/28/2003)
The device is based on a loop mirror in a ring resonator. The loop mirror allows tuning by changing the coupling coefficient of a directional coupler. The loop mirror is implemented using a Sagnac configuration to have the ...
