This paper analyses the common characteristics and relevance of animal behavior and traffic behavior. It describes the feedback mechanism of animal behavior and the information process of traffic behavior from the point of view on automatic control, and then points out that the two behaviors are both controlled by themselves and environment. at last, by analyzing bats' echolocation system, this paper...
Animal intrusion detection is a major application in human habitats like institutions and agricultural fields to ensure safety and security to the life and assets of human. In this paper, a new image processing method is proposed to detect the presence of animals using Line Model Approach based on their skeletons. In this new frame work, the simple Background subtraction followed by a fast Star Skeletonization...
Since the introduction of the Conducted Electrical Weapons (CEW) several studies have been conducted and multiple reports have been published on safety of these devices from a medical point of view. Use of these devices in different situations and reported deaths attracts media attention and causes general anxiety around these devices. These devices have several limitations- such as rate of fire or...
The purpose of this study was to develop a robotic endoscope that is low invasive, easy to operate and capable of locomotion from the rectum to the appendix in the human body. We believe that it would contribute to relieving pain in patients. We therefore developed a robotic endoscope that consists of a front and rear body with clockwise and anticlockwise helical fins, respectively. The front and...
Whenever a voltage potential is present between two points - in close enough proximity - for a human or an animal to bridge the gap between them, there is the possibility for current to flow through the body. For the purposes of this paper, the contact scenarios of interest are limited to publicly or privately accessible locations such as swimming pools, hot tubs, pipe lines, street lights, electric...
The maximum distance between the heart and a model Taser stimulation dart, called the dart-to-heart distance, at which the Taser can directly cause ventricular fibrillation (VF), was measured in pigs. A 9-mm-long blunt probe was advanced snugly through the surrounding tissues toward the heart. Five animals [pig mass = 61.2plusmn6.23 standard deviation (SD) kg] for ten dart-to-heart distances where...
