Although superficial electromyographic signals are the most common input signal for machine learning algorithms in hand gesture recognition and finger force estimation applications, there are only a few commercially available systems for superficial EMG acquisition. This work proposes a cheap and easy to fabricate, dry superficial electrodes array. This system uses multiple active differential sensors integrated in a small double layer PCBs, each one uses two small rectangle areas of the bottom layer as conductive layer for signal acquisition. With a differential gain of 60dB between 23 and 3000Hz and a common mode rejection ration of −60dB at 60Hz. Design criteria and simulations are presented.

This article presents the simulation genetic algorithms with multi-agent system application to solve problems of collaboration and coordination, with the goal of minimizing the travel time of a fleet of drones. The experimental analysis compares the travel time of a deterministic algorithm versus a probabilistic algorithm in a multi-agent system with BDI architecture. The results show that the genetic algorithm delivers significant improvements in travel time, exceeding the deterministic algorithm by up to 35% on average. This article also discusses the feasibility of combining genetic algorithms and multi-agent systems for solving people search and rescue problems.

Building recognition from images is a challenging task since pictures can be taken from different angles and under different illumination conditions. Most of the building recognition methods use local and global handcrafted image features and do not consider the rejection scenario, where the method have to be capable of identifying if a given image does not belong to any of the classes of interest. We propose a method based on convolutional neural networks that obtain effective feature vectors to perform accurate classification of buildings. Additionally, we analyze and propose methods for the problem of classification with rejection.

We present a traffic control scheme in transmission queues of LTE systems in the downlink direction, based on traffic policing algorithms known as leaky bucket regulators with flows holding fractal and multifractal characteristics. The proposed control scheme aims at regulating the input traffic flows rate within an established profile. The simulation results have shown that the proposed control approach guarantees the efficient use of available LTE system resources.

Wildlife inventories contribute to gauging the value of biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest. However, few studies have been made about this subject, mainly because of the lack of appropriate technology. In this paper, the design of hardware and software of a low-cost long-lasting time flight drone is proposed with the purpose of serving as a data mule to export data from an isolated wireless multimedia sensor network located in a remote nature reservation.

The presence of outliers, noise, corrupt pieces of data and great quantity of samples in a multispectral image, makes the segmentation analysis work tedious. The fuzzy clustering approach, specially, is susceptible to inhomogeneity of characteristics. Furthermore, many algorithms such us FCM, PFCM, FCC, FWCM and modification aim to solve these problems by integrating spacial information. This process is carried through the analysis of the sample's neighborhood. This paper proposes the integration of the sample presence probability into a ”term” like form inside the existent model NFCC. This algorithm presents the basic steps for fuzzy clustering. With a middle variant that integrates the measure between each sample to all the centroids, this replaces the existent term by a new term. This new term integrates the spatial relationship between each sample of the multispectral image into a fitting term. The method is applied to multispectral images. Overall accuracy indicates that the term integrated to NFCC model decrease the overall cluster overlapping.

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT), together with the massive access of people to Internet and online social networks, are changing the communication structure of society. This new social and digital context is changing the way citizens access information. In this paper, we analyze the flow of information emitted by mass media in virtual environments. Specifically, we analyzed the information flow of the two tweets with the highest re-transmission, emitted by two well-known Ecuadorian newspapers (one public and one private), with a large circulation and national coverage, during the events of police insubordination of September 30, 2010. Our results show that the information dissemination network established by these two tweets follows a ”swarming” model. That is, multi-directional and multi-stage.

Asynchronous controllers based on Asynchronous Finite State Machines (AFSM) are widely used in the control unit design of asynchronous systems. These systems can be implemented in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), which are a low cost design alternative. Different styles have been proposed to implement AFSMs, but all of them have limitations when implemented in FPGAs. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel architecture for AFSMs in the local clock style. AFSMs are described in the extended burst-mode (XBM) specification. The existence of a local clock reduces the requirements of asynchronous logic, but the timing requirements may require the insertion of delays, which makes FPGA implementation difficult and leads to degradation of performance and reliability. The novel proposed local clock architecture is robust to setup and hold time violations, so they are free of timing analysis and do not need to introduce any kind of delays. The proposed architecture was applied to thirteen benchmarks and when compared to the local clock architecture of SICARELO tool, focused on FPGAs, it did not need to introduce any delays, whereas SICARELO had to introduce delays in all thirteen benchmarks of up to 4.9ns and there was an average reduction of 30% at the time of latency.

Technological advances have allowed the development of applications that help the early detection of melanoma. In this context, an image processing was developed to obtain Asymmetry, Border, Color, and Diameter (ABCD of melanoma). Using neural networks to perform a classification of the different kinds of moles. As a result, this algorithm developed after an analysis of 200 images was obtained a performance of 97.51%.
