1. Technology for Consumers: Proceedings of the RESNA International Conference (Toronto, Ontario, Canada, June 6-11, 1992).

Author

RESNA: Association for the Advancement of Rehabilitation Technology, Washington, DC., Presperin, Jessica J., Presperin, Jessica J., and RESNA: Association for the Advancement of Rehabilitation Technology, Washington, DC.

Abstract

This proceedings document contains approximately 250 papers and posters presented at a conference on the advancement of rehabilitation and assistive technology. Individual sessions focused on the following topics: quantitative functional evaluation, upper limb and therapeutic stimulation, human-computer interface developments, information networking, gerontology, clinical seating and mobility issues, robotics and advanced technology, systems development and speech synthesis in augmentative and alternative communication, sensory aids, clinical applications of adapted computer use, approaches to assistive technology service delivery, positioning and mobility, simulation for lower limb function, rural rehabilitation, job accommodations, clinical issues and research in augmentative and alternative communication, research in powered mobility design and control, assistive technology devices and evaluations, personal transportation, special education, technology transfer, and clinical concepts in powered mobility. Additional brief papers on similar topics were presented at poster sessions and are reprinted. Also provided are the text of papers presented at an international symposium on robotic manipulators in rehabilitation practice, presentations of the Wheelchair Standards Committee, and winning papers of the Easter Seal student design competition. Proceedings papers typically include an abstract, text, illustrations or graphs, address of the principal investigator, and references. (DB)

Abstract

This proceedings document contains approximately 250 papers and posters presented at a conference on the advancement of rehabilitation and assistive technology. Individual sessions included the following topics: augmentative and alternative communication, personal transportation, technology transfer, service delivery and public policy, computer applications, quantitative functional assessment, manual and powered wheelchairs, computer applications, robotics, rural rehabilitation, seating, aging, robotics, special education, human factors in computer access, functional electrical stimulation exercise, prosthetics and orthotics, information networking, computer interface techniques, and sensory aids. Additional invited papers or presentations at poster sessions covered wheeled mobility and seating, service delivery, rural rehabilitation, robotics, augmentative and alternative communication, technology transfer, sensory aids, motor coordination, and information networking. Additionally, the six winning papers of the Easter Seal student design competition are included. Proceedings papers typically include an abstract, text, illustrations or graphs, address of the principal investigator, and references. (DB)

Abstract

Summary: This book includes a series of scientific papers published in the Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence and Ambient Intelligence at the journal Electronics MDPI. The book starts with an opinion paper on "Relations between Electronics, Artificial Intelligence and Information Society through Information Society Rules", presenting relations between information society, electronics and artificial intelligence mainly through twenty-four IS laws. After that, the book continues with a series of technical papers that present applications of Artificial Intelligence and Ambient Intelligence in a variety of fields including affective computing, privacy and security in smart environments, and robotics. More specifically, the first part presents usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in combination with wearable devices (e.g., smartphones and wristbands) for recognizing human psychological states (e.g., emotions and cognitive load). The second part presents usage of AI methods in combination with laser sensors or Wi-Fi signals for improving security in smart buildings by identifying and counting the number of visitors. The last part presents usage of AI methods in robotics for improving robots' ability for object gripping manipulation and perception. The language of the book is rather technical, thus the intended audience are scientists and researchers who have at least some basic knowledge in computer science.

4. Flexitranstore. Special Session in the 21st International Symposium on High Voltage Engineering (ISH 2019)

Author

Németh, Bálint, Ekonomou, Lambros, and Németh, Bálint

Subjects
Electrical engineering, Electronics engineering, Electronics, Engineering, Microelectronics, Power electronics
Abstract

Summary: This open access book comprises 10 high-level papers on research and innovation within the Flexitranstore Project that were presented at the FLEXITRANSTORE special session organized as part of the 21st International Symposium on High Voltage Engineering. FLEXITRANSTORE (An Integrated Platform for Increased FLEXIbility in smart TRANSmission grids with STORage Entities and large penetration of Renewable Energy Sources) aims to contribute to the development of a pan-European transmission network with high flexibility and high interconnection levels. This will facilitate the transformation of the current energy production mix by hosting an increasing share of renewable energy sources. Novel smart grid technologies, control and storage methods, and new market approaches will be developed, installed, demonstrated, and tested introducing flexibility to the European power system. FLEXITRANSTORE is developing a next-generation Flexible Energy Grid (FEG) that will be integrated into the European Internal Energy Market (IEM) through the valorization of flexibility services. This FEG addresses the capabilities of a power system to maintain continuous service in the face of rapid and large swings in supply or demand. As such, a wholesale market infrastructure and new business models within this integrated FEG must be upgraded for network players, and offer incentives for new ones to join, while at the same time demonstrating new business perspectives for cross-border resource management and energy trading.
