Compact Sources

We describe the state-of-the art status of multifrequency detection techniques for compact sources in microwave astronomy. From the simplest cases where the spectral behaviour is well known (i.e., thermal SZ clusters) to the more complex cases where there is little a priori information (i.e., polarized radio sources) we will review the main advances and the most recent results in the detection problem.

Manipulation Strategy

Abstract The limited dexterity that existing hand prostheses provide to users contrasts with the manipulation abilities exhibited by state-of-the-art robot hands. This paper presents an underactuated robot hand with in-hand manipulation capabilities to demonstrate the use of underactuation in the development of effective hand replacements. This paper describes a specific underactuated hand architecture, representative of many existing underactuated hand prototypes. First, the hand is modeled and its ability to manipulate objects of different geometries is analyzed. Second, a manipulation strategy suitable for prosthetic applications is proposed. The strategy enables the hand to manipulate objects in-hand without any a priori information of their geometry or physical properties. Finally, experimental tests conducted to validate the theoretical results are presented.

Derivative Spectrometry

The problem of improving the resolution of composite spectra with statistically self-similar (fractal) noise is considered within the framework of derivative spectrometry. An algorithm of the numerical differentiation of an arbitrary (including fractional) order of spectra is produced by the statistical regularization method taking into account a priori information on statistical properties of the fractal noise. Fractal noise is analyzed in terms of the statistical Hurst method. The efficiency and expedience of this algorithm are exemplified by treating simulated and experimental IR spectra.
