The architecture of today's video cards is able to execute up to hundreds of thousands of operation in parallel. This ability creates the possibility to solve computationally intensive tasks with minimal effort. Our research aims to investigate how to use the graphics hardware for general computing ability in biological models. In the development we have used a re-thought, and upgraded successor of the Nvidia G80 architecture, Fermi-GF104 architecture, and the associated CUDA programming environment in C/C++ language environment. After the developer machine and the test environment were complied, a general cellular automaton modelling framework was developed. It is solved partly by parallel algorithm because it calculates on matrix data structure. Several parallel algorithms and data were tested using the system. The speed of program execution was measured and the CGMA (compute to global memory access) ratio was determined. Compared to the performance of the serial execution we experienced an order of magnitude increase.

The present paper proposes an expert system designed for teaching a robot in a flexible manufacturing line. The system can be used for acquiring data, monitoring the fabrication cells and in the knowledge acquisition process. An essential problem is teaching the robot in a way that it can act in any situation met in the manufacturing line. Using the vision system the robot can perceive its external environment; it offers the robot hints about the path it has to follow. The goal is to teach the robot so that it can act independently, without human intervention.

This study demonstrates the use of CAFM database structures during a real estate benchmarking project. The findings of the current survey may provide guidelines and assistance to Real Estate Management organizations that start to collect benchmark data from their CAFM systems. Potential data providers are encouraged to implement their benchmark projects in a systematic manner by following the recommendations derived from the survey.

The goal of this paper to introduce two alternative definitions for the possibilistic correlation coefficient by equipping the level sets of a joint possibility distribution with nonuniform probability distributions which are directly derived from the shape function of the joint possibility distribution. We also show some examples for their exact calculation for joint possibility distributions defined by Mamdani, Łukasiewicz and Larsen triangular norms.

At the present time in many countries of the worlds preoperative planning of interventions for lumbar joint is realized with caliper, protractor, plastic templates and x-ray images. From these reasons the measurement is time consuming with many errors. Over the past few years, an increasing appreciation of the usefulness of digital technology has emerged among various field of medicine. This paper presents current applications of computer technology in the field of surgery and pre-operative planning of total hip implantation. The new developed CoXaM software offers simple solution of the problems by using the digital x-ray images and handmade plastic templates. The developed software combines the digital x-ray images with the digital templates for planning implantation and reimplatation interventions of hip joints. The pre-operative planning process is fast, precise, and cost-efficient, and it provides a permanent, archived record of the templating process. The new proposed methodology provides the opportunity for comfortable, user-friendly and dimensionally accurate computer programming surgical operation.

The program for machine is important for creation a new parts in industry. In this time, the NC (numerical control) is very used. NC is technology, in which the program for controlling of the machine is used; for example for drilling, lathes, milling, conventional and unconventional cutting machines (laser, water-jet, plasma). CNC programming may use the application of Group Technology theory. Group Technology (GT) is a philosophy for manufacturing and strategy, which helps a company in understanding what it manufactures and how those products are then manufactured. When some properties are once identified, it is possible to capitalize on these similarities by processing together groups of families (similar parts). Then the opportunity for unnecessary duplication of effort for creation a new program and solving of some problems are minimized.

In this paper, we present an innovative approach coupling active contours with an ontological representation of knowledge, in order to understand scenes acquired by a moving camera and containing multiple non-rigid objects evolving over space and time. The developed active contours enable both segmentation and tracking of multiple targets in each captured scene over a video sequence with unknown camera calibration. Hence, this active contour technique provides information on the objects of interest as well as on parts of them (e.g. shape and position), and contains simultaneously low-level characteristics such as intensity or color features. The ontology we propose consists of concepts whose hierarchical levels map the granularity of the studied scene and of a set of inter- and intra-object spatial and temporal relations defined for this framework, object and sub-object characteristics e.g. shape, and visual concepts like color. The system obtained by coupling this ontology with active contours can study dynamic scenes at different levels of granularity, both numerically and semantically characterize each scene and its components i.e. objects of interest, and reason about spatiotemporal relations between them or parts of them. This resulting knowledge-based vision system was demonstrated on real-world video sequences containing multiple mobile highly-deformable objects.

This paper introduces a new approach to integrated education of engineering. For this purpose the authors studied higher education and industrial product modeling and proposed an integrated approach where higher education course and production equipment modeling are integrated with the controlled job floor automation environment. For the purpose of this environment, flexible manufacturing system was selected. The paper starts with an introduction of the integrated model and the method of integration. Following this, model communicated processes as well as course related processes and elements are explained considering the new integrated model. Finally, activities as well as tasks and their execution are discussed.

In this paper is presented an example of experimental analysis of biomaterials based on optical measurement methodology. GOM optical system and Aramis software were used to perform 3D experimental optical analysis of titanium alloys for biomedical applications. The possibilities of using this method for analyzing materials for biomedical applications are discussed, and having in mind that the system used in this experimental analysis is utilized to solve problems in structural integrity analysis and determining properties of materials, it is concluded that this method is suitable for analysis of irregular object geometries made of various materials, as is often the case in biomedical applications. Considering that titanium alloys have high sensitivity to fatigue induced by notches, a sharp-notch tension test was performed. The goal of this in vitro study was to measure and analyze fracture behaviour of Ti6Al4V alloy specimens. The major strain field of the titanium alloy specimen for crack tip opening and fracture are presented. It is shown that the application of a modern 3D optical measuring method is useful in determining some of the key properties of metallic materials in biomedical applications.
