Real-time simulation of camera errors and their effect on some basic robotic vision algorithms

We present a real-time approximate simulation of some camera errors and the effects these errors have on some common computer vision algorithms for robots. The simulation uses a software framework for real-time post processing of image data. We analyse the performance of some basic algorithms for robotic vision when adding modifications to images due to camera errors. The result of each algorithm / error combination is presented. This simulation is useful to tune robotic algorithms to make them more robust to imperfections of real cameras. © 2013 IEEE

Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a stimulator of renin secretion.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was found to stimulate renin secretion in vivo in normal human volunteers. Moreover, CGRP stimulated the release of renin in vitro from isolated rat renal juxtaglomerular cells (half-maximal effective concentration [EC50] 100 nM) concomitant with stimulation of cAMP production (EC50 60 nM). Immunoreactive CGRP was recognized in rat renal cortical nerve fibers, and intact rat CGRP was identified in extracts of the rat renal cortex. Because CGRP containing sensory nerve fibers are seen in the region of the juxtaglomerular apparatus, it would seem that the release of CGRP from these afferent nerves may be involved in the physiological control of renin secretion

Access and Security System in Building Automation

Tato práce se zabývá problematikou automatizace budov, uvádí možnosti automatizace v dnešních inteligentních budovách. Podrobněji je zde řešena problematika automatizace budov u zabezpečovacích a přístupových systémů. Práce obsahuje základní pravidla těchto systémů a postup při realizaci přístupových a zabezpečovacích systémů. Cílem této diplomové práce je návrh přístupového a zabezpečovacího systému budov. Součástí práce je také vytvoření modelu, na kterém bude prakticky předveden přístupový a zabezpečovací systém. Tento model bude sloužit firmě ELMONT GROUP a.s. jako podklad pro řešení zakázek.This thesis deals with automation of buildings, provides the possibility of automation in today's intelligent buildings. The issue of building automation for security and access systems is solved in details. This thesis contains the basic rules of the systems and procedure in the implementation of access and security systems. The target of this thesis is the proposal of the access and security system for buildings. Part of the thesis is also creating a model, on which will be presented the access and security system. This model will be used by the company ELMONT GROUP as a basis for dealing with contracts.
