Abstract--This paper investigates the synthesis of a spatial stiffness matrix using simple line springs. A new algorithm is developed, which enables the selection of constituent sp...
Abstract— We present a path planning method for autonomous underwater vehicles in order to maximize mutual information. We adapt a method previously used for surface vehicles, an...

Abstract. We propose a shape descriptor for 3D ear impressions, derived from a comprehensive set of anatomical features. Motivated by hearing aid (HA) manufacturing, the selection ...
Abstract. We prove that for every graph H, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar graph can be contracted to H. We introduce contractions and topological min...
