Sobh, Tarek M.; Henderson, Thomas C. | Robotic prototyping environment (Progress report) | Prototyping is an important activity in engineering. Prototype development is a good test for checking the viability of a proposed system. Prototypes can also help in determining system parameters, ranges, or in designing better systems. The interaction between several modules (e.g., S/W, VLSI, CAD,... | Prototyping; Prototyping environment; Robotic prototyping | 1994 |

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Wills, Norma M. | rRNA-mRNA base pairing stimulates a programmed -1 ribosomal frameshift | Base pairing between the 3' end of 16S rRNA and mRNA is shown to be important for the programmed -1 frameshifting utilized in decoding the Escherichia coli dnaX gene. This pairing is the same as the Shine-Dalgarno pairing used by prokaryotic ribosomes in selection of translation initiators, but for ... | Frameshifting; Escherichia coli; Binding Sites; Base Composition | 1994 |

Johnson, Christopher R. | Semi-automatic image segmentation: a bimodal thresholding approach | We have developed a semi-automatic image segmentation tool which combines conventional manual segmentation utilities with a novel automatic image segmentation algorithm. Manual segmentation is achieved by dropping control points and fitting cubic splines to these points. Automatic segmentation is a... | Image segmentation; Segmentation algorithms; Bimodal thresholding | 1994 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Sensing strategies based on manufacturing knowledge | We propose an approach for the inspection of machined parts that is based on knowledge of the actual manufacturing process for the parts to be inspected. A principal benefit of this approach is that sensing can be focused on those areas of parts where violations of tolerance specifications are most ... | Machined parts; Inspection; Sensing strategies; Toolpaths | 1994 |

Bruderlin, Beat | Sketching as a solid modeling tool | This paper describes 'Quick-sketch', a 2-d and 3d modeling tool for pen based computers. Users of this system define a model by simple pen strokes drawn directly on the screen of a pen-based PC. Lines, circles, arcs, or B-spline curves are automatically distinguished and interpreted from these strok... | Quick-sketch; Modeling tool; Pen based computers; Computer sketching | 1994 |

Sutherland, Karen T. | The stability of geometric inference in location determination | Geometric inference is widely used in computer vision, but very little attention has been given to the question of how geometric properties affect the resulting errors in the inferences made. This thesis addresses the problem of the stability of geometric inference in determining locations with a go... | Geometric inference; Location determination | 1994 |

Johnson, Christopher R. | Techniques for visualizing 3D unstructured meshes | We present a computational module for interactively visualizing, large-scale, 3D unstructured meshes. Scientists and engineers routinely solve large-scale computational boundary value problems on unstructured grids. These grids typically range from several hundred thousand elements to millions of el... | 3D unstructured meshes; Visualization | 1994 |

Brunvand, Erik L. | Testing micropipelines | Micropipelines, self-timed event-driven pipelines, are an attractive way of structuring asynchronous systems that exhibit many of the advantages of general asynchronous systems, but enough structure to make the design of significant systems practical. As with any design method, testing is critical. ... | 1994 | |

Cobb, James E. | Tiling the sphere with rational bezier patches | One of the fundamental problems in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) is the representation of shapes. Two representation schemes that have proved useful for modeling free-form shapes are parametric Bezier and B-spline surfaces [2,8]. In fact the Bezier patch is a special case of the B-spline ... | Tiling; rational Bezier patches; Computer Aided Geometric Design; CAGD; B-spline surface | 1994 |

Horch, Kenneth W. | Tracking changes in action potential shapes in chronic multi-unit intrafascicular recordings using neural network pattern recognition techniques | A novel scheme is proposed to train an Artificial Neural Network (A") classifier, on a repeated basis, in order to track temporal changes in the shapes of the action potentials recorded through chronically implanted intrafascicular electrodes. This scheme uses classification results of the ANN Clas... | Intrafascicular electrodes; Artificial neural network | 1994 |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Type-safe composition of object modules | We describe a facility that enables routine type-checking during the linkage of external declarations and definitions of separately compiled programs in ANSI C. The primary advantage of our server-style type-checked linkage facility is the ability to program the combination of object modules via a s... | object modules; ANSI C; Type-safe; type-checking | 1994 |

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Tuohy, Therese M. | Uninterrupted translation through putative 12-nucleotide coding gap in sequence of carA: business as usual | Previous work of others reported an untranslated stretch of 12 nucleotides in the 5' coding sequence of carA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, N-terminal protein sequencing of carA-lacZ translational fusions shows that these 12 nucleotides are normally translated in a continuous triplet manner, ... | Base Sequence; Protein Biosynthesis; Sequence Deletion | 1994 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | UPE: Utah prototyping environment for robot manipulators | Developing an environment that enables optimal and flexible design of robot manipulators using reconfigurable links, joints, actuators, and sensors is an essential step for efficient robot design and prototyping. Such an environment should have the right "mix" of software and hardware components fo... | prototyping environment; robot manipulators | 1994 |

Sobh, Tarek M.; Henderson, Thomas C. | URK: Utah robot kit - A 3-link robot manipulator prototype | In designing robot manipulators, the interaction between several modules (S/W, VLSI, CAD, CAM, Robotics, and Control) illustrates an interdisciplinary prototyping environment that includes different types of information that are radically different but combined in a coordinated way.

Sobh, Tarek M.; Henderson, Thomas C. | URK: Utah robot kit - a three-link robot prototype | In this paper we will present the stages of designing and building a three-link robot manipulator prototype that was built as part of a research project for establishing a prototyping environment for robot manipulators. Building this robot enabled us determine the required subsystems and interfaces ... | URK; Utah robot kit; robot manipulator prototype; prototyping environment; robot manipulators; three-link | 1994 |

Brunvand, Erik L. | Using FPGAs to prototype a self-timed floating point co-processor | Self- timed circuits offer advantages over their synchronously clocked counterparts in a number of situations. However, self-timed design techniques are not widely used at present for a variety of reasons. One reason for the lack of experimentation with self-timed systems is the lack of commercially... | 1994 | |

Neff, Rick | Versatile interaction specification of tools and agents | Vista is a software infrastructure addressing the vexing problem of software tool interaction?especially how to get egocentric tools to work well together.
