126 Sikorski, KrisAn interior ellipsoid algorithm for fixed pointsWe consider the problem of approximating fixed points of non-smooth contractive functions with using of the absolute error criterion. In [12] we proved that the upper bound on the number of function evaluations to compute ?-approximations is 0(n3(In 1/? + In 1/1-q +In n)) in the worst case, where ...Ellipsoid algorithm; Contractive functions; Fixed points1998
127 Boll, Steven F.Application of the saber method for improved spectral analysis of noisy speechA stand alone noise suppression algorithm is described for reducing the spectral effects of acoustically added noise in speech. A fundamental result is developed which shows that the spectral magnitude of speech plus noise can be effectively approximated as the sum of magnitudes of speech and noise....Noise suppression algorithm; SABER method1977

130 Kessler, Robert R.Compiling distributed C++Distributed C++ (DC++) is a language for writing parallel applications on loosely coupled distributed systems in C++.

133 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.Cramer-Rao bounds for nonparametric surface reconstruction from range dataThe Cramer-Rao error bound provides a fundamental limit on the expected performance of a statistical estimator. The error bound depends on the general properties of the system, but not on the specific properties of the estimator or the solution. The Cramer-Rao error bound has been applied to scal...Cramer-Rao bounds; Error bounds; 3D reconstruction2003-04-18

135 Stoller, Leigh B.Direct deposit: a basic user-level protocol for carpet clusters?This note describes the Direct Deposit Protocol (DDP), a simple protocol for multicomputing on a carpet cluster. This protocol is an example of a user-level protocol to be layered on top of the low-level, sender-based protocols for the Protocol Processing Engine. The protocol will be described in te...Direct Deposit Protocol; DDP; Carpet clusters; Multicomputing; User-level protocol1995
136 Henderson, Thomas C.Explicit and persistent knowledge in engineering drawing analysisDomain knowledge permeates all aspects of the engineering drawing analysis process, including understanding the physical processes operating on the medium (i.e., paper), the image analysis techniques, and the interpretation semantics of the structural layout and contents of the drawing. Additiona...Engineering drawing analysis2003-10-10
137 Henderson, Thomas C.Implementing multi-sensor systems in a functional languageWe discuss a methodology for configuring systems of sensors using a functional language. To date no such general methodology exists, and existing multi-sensor systems have been hand-crafted around a particular application. Our main point is that the use of abstraction and of functional language fe...Multi-sensor systems; Multisensor systems1984
138 Lindstrom, Gary E.The key node method: a highly-parallel alpha-beta algorithmA new parallel formulation of the alpha-beta algorithm for minimax game tree searching is presented. Its chief characteristic is incremental information sharing among subsearch processes in the form of "provisional" node value communication. Such "eager" communication can offer the double benefit of...Key node method; Alpha-beta algorithm; Minimax; Game tree searching1983
139 Weinstein, DavidLead field basis for FEM source localizationIn recent years, significant progress has been made in the area of EEG/MEG source imaging. source imaging on simple spherical models has become increasingly efficient, with consistently reported accuracy of within 5mm. In contrast, source localization on realistic head models remains slow, with sub-...FEM source localization; Source imaging; EEG; MEG1999
140 Subrahmanyam, P.A.Modeling of call - by - need and stream primitives using CCSThe semantics of an applicative language are presented using the algebraic primitives introduced in CCS.

148 Keller, Robert M.An approach to determinacy proofsIt is known that any parallel program graph composed of continuous operators itself represents a continuous function. In other words, the network is determinate in the sense that for a given input, the output is unique, independent of the timing of the constituent operators.
