754 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.Feature preserving variational smoothing of terrain dataIn this paper, we present a novel two-step, variational and feature preserving smoothing method for terrain data. The first step computes the field of 3D normal vectors from the height map and smoothes them by minimizing a robust penalty function of curvature. This penalty function favors piecewise ...2003
755 Riloff, Ellen M.Feature subsumption for opinion analysisLexical features are key to many approaches to sentiment analysis and opinion detection.

763 Christensen, Douglas A.; Vincent, G. MichaelFiberoptic laser angioplasty probe with optical steerabilityWe have designed and bench tested an optically steerable fiberoptic probe for use in laser angioplasty. The unique feature of this design is the use of a gradient-index (GRIN) lens attached to the distal end of a seven-fiber bundle. By selecting which fiber of the bundle is illuminated by the source...Fiberoptic probe; GRIN lens; Steerability1990
764 McLennan, JohnFinal Report Geothermal Battery Energy StorageSolar and wind power are being introduced into electric grids to supplement and replace conventional electricity production.
