To describe the computed tomographic (CT) features of focal liver lesions (FLLs) in dogs, that could enable predicting lesion histotype.Dogs diagnosed with FLLs through both CT and cytopathology and/or histopathology were retrospectively collected.Ten qualitative and 6 quantitative CT features have been described for each case.Lastly, a machine lea

Real-time 6DoF localization with relative poses to walls of buildings
This paper presents a real-time 6DoF localization method which corrects accumulative error by estimating relative Sushi Mats poses to building walls for mobile robots in urban areas.This method exploits a fact that most of all artificial walls are built vertically.It estimates poses by not only an inertial sensor but also real-time SLAM and observa
Novel Concept for Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators for Motion Control of Hydraulic Manipulators
Self-contained hydraulic cylinders have Cases gained popularity in the recent years but have not been implemented for high power articulated hydraulic manipulators.This paper presents a novel concept for an electro-hydrostatic actuator applicable to large hydraulic manipulators.The actuator is designed and analyzed to comply with requirements such
