An ode to Star Wars Galaxies
By allworkandlowpay 2 Comments
Star Wars: The Old Republic is quickly approaching, promising fans young and old the chance to live out a life in the world of Star Wars. Many people seem to forget that Bioware's game is hardly the first foray into the universe of blasters,scoundrels and Wookiees. Before TOR there was Star Wars Galaxies.
Wait! -- don't leave! I know, I know. It had mediocre scores. It had bugs ... a lot of bugs. But dammit, the game had moxie.
Perhaps it is simply nostalgia's clammy paws taking hold, but I can't seem to shake the experiences I had in SWG. The game was hardly my first MMO, I dedicated way too much of my youth playing Ultima Online, and shortly after that a little bit of time in Anarchy Online. But something was special about SWG.
When MMOs were beginning to make a more crafted experience, SWG was the hold-out. It was first and foremost a sandbox game. It was a sandbox almost to a detriment, sacrificing narrative and loot for "customibility" and user interaction. in SWG, the world was yours for the taking.
I started the game day one. I just turned 16 a week prior. I haste-fully rushed home from my local Gamestop, with my prized Limited Edition (which I still have). Loaded up, selected the Starsider server, and stared at my character creation screen. So many choices, so much customization. What would I be? Who would I be?
I choose a Rodian, a tiny green man named Atehik Iobah. I spent hours drafting his background. To an old DnD game-master and AOL chat room troll, the emphasis in MMORPG was always the "Arr Pee Gee."
For a person who does put the "RPG" in MMORPG, Star Wars Galaxies was a haven. The world allowed you to be whatever you wanted to be. My best friend, always a Star Wars fanatic, wanted nothing more than to be a moisture farmer on Tatooine. He did such, finding a plot of land and with just a few credits and a space-mule, began a successful franchise. The games profession system was unlike most class systems in MMOs today. You were given 250 skill points, and it was up to you how you chose to train and use them. You could master one of their their 24 professions, or mix and match. Did you want to be a fashion designer/dancer/bounty hunter? SWG didn't ask any questions, it didn't just your odd but strangely satisfying choice of career paths, it just let you. All this provided a world that was a rich sandbox, where you were left to your own devices.
I was instantly transported into a world of like minded geeks -- The SWG universe seemed so mold-able. We settled down and made a city of 250 strong, called Vagabond's Rest. With it came a rich past, lively characters, organized crime and even a political system.
The way Star Wars Galaxies gave players freedom seems like a dinosaur in the box of tricks for game developers now. It seems so important, at least to me, because despite its flaws, it is something that we will never see happen again. The MMO landscape has forever changed with games like World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic. The new standard for MMOs are all about crafted play experiences. You are one of the many, following the motions the developers laid out for you. There will never be a MMO again where you could find player cities to join or plots of land to till as a humble moisture farmer.
You can't blame the developers, after all, the cash cow was WoW, not SWG. It simply costs too much to make a MMO, we are talking a price tag in the millions, and a half of decade of time. Why try something new and risk all that capital, when you can go with something known and safe? It is a predicament not just isolated to the Massively Multi-industrial complex, but the video game industry as a whole. As games become more costly, and as more players slip from PC gaming to console alternatives, the MMO landscape will become continue with an over-saturation of clones. Games will become more linear, more structured, more homogenized.
There is hope on the horizon. Games like Terraria and Minecraft have shown developers that sandbox experiences, especially multiplayer ones, can in fact be profitable. Whatever the future holds, though, this cranky aging gamer will always hold a special place in his squishy meatbag soul for that imperfect gem, the last bastion of sandbox MMOs, Star Wars Galaxies.

Steve was a kuol guy, and put himself in danger many times a way to go but to be killed by a stinray, a strange unorthadox way to go. Steve Will be missed
Didi anyone see those surfer pay tribute to steve, so cool.
Hundreds of surfers gather to pay tribute to late CROCODILE HUNTER STEVE IRWIN in the waves off eastern Australia this weekend (09-10SEP06). The crusading naturalist died last week (04SEP06) when he was pierced through the chest by a stingray's barb while shooting a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef. Irwin was a talented surfer and an estimated 300 surfers paddled out from Alexandra Headline - many dressed in Irwin's trademark khaki. Lifeguard NIGEL MORTON says, "They paddled out probably about 300 yards offshore and made a very large circle. "There were several surfers in the centre of the circle that conducted the service."
You would never guess that he would be killed by nimals... at least i didn't think so. I thought he would die some other way. RIP Croc Hunter.
I will miss... a tough guy like him. He never beaten by croc in its habitat, but why killed by a stngray?? Steve, rest in peace...
Lives link to one another, and the world continues...
The croc dude was the man... Used to watch his show every saturday morning.
When I found out I was listening to Harmful if Swallowed by Dane Cook and he has a part about that guy. Its really funny until I found out. kinda ironic.
steve was a real pro with croc and still the best there is ever to come, rest steve your in a better place now

LOL at "don't tease the animals" that cracked me up....it's true!
Mir is very pissed and motivated...I'm not sure if the talking is going to help him....it would be a huge fight...Lesnar is just a beast...Mir better focus on one match at a time..
To be fair to mir he was talking just as much about lesnar leading up to the kongo fight and he came in and easily disposed of kongo.
No, just that him talking about lesnar before the carwin fight doesnt mean he is taking his training or carwin lightly.

Partial simultaneous updating in Hopfield memoriesPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 887 - 888
Cited by: Papers (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (176 KB)
A simple generalization of the Hopfield memory is presented. The model proposed updates simultaneously groups of a fixed number of neurons that are disjoint in the sense that each neuron belongs to one and only one group. An analysis is presented of the case in which one of the groups is chosen at random with equal probability and then is updated according to a rule equivalent to the one given by J.J. Hopfield (1982). It is shown that the rule minimizes an energy function in the same way as the original Hopfield model. Sufficient conditions on the corresponding connection matrix as to ensure stability are given View full abstract»
New graphics as computerized displays for human information processingPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 893 - 898| | Quick Abstract | PDF (656 KB)
A comparative study of various graphic and tabular representations of financial and accounting statistics in an interactive decision setting is presented. Controls are placed on demographic variables, cognitive style, abilities, and math and computer anxiety. Bar graphics are found to be a faster but more accurate form of man-machine communication that tabular presentation of information in credit rating and industry classification decisions. Star graphics take more time on the part of the user but improve the ability to make decisions which involve ranking alternatives. Persons whose cognitive style is more directed toward thinking than feeling have significantly better success in utilizing new graphic forms. It is argues that all new graphics should be tested for speed and efficacy for different types of information display and for people with different cognitive styles and computer backgrounds before they are incorporated into outputs for computerised decision-support systems View full abstract»
Exploration and dynamic shape estimation by a robotic probePublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 840 - 846
Cited by: Papers (11) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (620 KB)
A strategy for motion of a planar manipulator on an unknown surface is presented. To estimate a parameter vector for the surface, least-squares estimators are formulated that use both the kinematic and dynamic data available online. The authors begin with the presentation of a control strategy that uses local sensory data to guide the end effector incrementally over the surface. Force feedback is given, which is later shown to be successful in the uninterrupted maintenance of contact. Motion over the unknown shape is justified by demonstrating that a simple shape estimation algorithm can converge to give a parametric description of the surface. Geometric and differential models of the surface are presented and the estimation procedure is specified. Also presented are the results of a number of computer simulations for a three-link planar manipulator moving over an ellipse whose parameters are unknown to the controller. It is found that, in the presence of noise, dynamic data degrade the estimates View full abstract»
Adaptive self-calibration of vision-based robot systemsPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 811 - 824
Cited by: Papers (12)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1236 KB)
An adaptive self-learning process to dynamically and continuously learn the transformation between the camera space and the robot space is discussed. The process is referred to as the adaptive self-calibration of hand-eye systems in which a visual-feedback-based self-learning process is used for dynamically and continuously learning the hand-eye transformation through repetitive operation trials. The hand-eye system calibration is used in situ and in real time while the system is operating. Recursive real-time implementation using adaptive and square-root Kalman filtering techniques is described and recent related research is reviewed. An experimental stereo-vision-based hand-eye system is described. Both simulation and experimental results are presented View full abstract»
Model-based object recognition using a large-field passive tactile sensorPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 846 - 853
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (896 KB)
The results of a model-driven touch sensor recognition experiment are reported. The touch sensor used is a large-field tactile array. Object features appropriate for touch sensor recognition are extracted from a geometric model of an object, and a dual spherical image is formed. Both geometric and dynamic features are used to identify objects and their position and orientation on the touch sensor. Experiments show that geometric features extracted from the model are effective but that dynamic features must be determined empirically. Correct object identification rates, even for very similar objects, exceed 90%, a success rate much higher than would have been expected from only two-dimensional contact patterns. The position and orientation of objects, once identified, are very reliable. The authors conclude that large-field tactile sensors could prove useful in the automatic palletizing problem when object models (from a computer-aided design system, for example) can be utilized View full abstract»
Issues in low-dimensional sensing and feedback [in robot grippers]Publication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 832 - 839
Cited by: Papers (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (796 KB)
A discussion is presented of problems of multisensory integration and feedback in a robot gripper. Various contact and noncontact sensors are described and it is shown how a number of such `low-dimensional' sensors are integrable in an advanced robot gripper. The resulting gripper uses only a few data and power supply connections out of the wrist. Feedback structures are outlined with the main emphasis on different alternatives in force-torque feedback; the various approaches proposed in the literature are considered in more detail. The problem of sensor data fusion, including the redundancy problem, is briefly explained View full abstract»
Some discussion of static gripping and its stabilityPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 783 - 796
Cited by: Papers (21)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1296 KB)
An overview is presented of research done in the area of dextrous manipulation. The main issue has been how to control mechanical hands so that they can perform manipulation task with the same dexterity and sensitivity as the human hands. To achieve sophisticated algorithms for grasping, compliance control, and manipulation, the nature of the contact wrenches, twists, and compliance of the fingers have to be well understood. Here emphasis is on the area of dextrous manipulation encompassed by static grasping. The two main approaches to the problems of grasping reviewed are those motivated by a study of human hands and those motivated by the physical and mechanical properties of grasps such as contact types, number of fingers required to achieve grasp, equilibrium, stability and compliance View full abstract»
The likelihood ratio test for goodness of fit with fuzzy experimental observationsPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 771 - 779
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (804 KB)
Experiments are considered in which the person responsible for observation cannot crisply perceive the outcomes, but where each observable event can be identified with a fuzzy subset of the sample space. It is explained that in such a situation, the likelihood ratio test can immediately be derived for goodness of fit to a completely specified hypothetical distribution regarding the `exact experiment' on the basis of fuzzy information. On the other hand, if the hypothetical distribution involves unknown parameters the extension of the likelihood ratio test usually becomes unmanageable, because of the unoperativeness of the trivial generalization of the maximum likelihood principle to fuzzy observations. This last generalization is suitably approximated by means of the minimum inaccuracy principle of point estimation (introduced in previous papers as an operative extension of the maximum likelihood one, on the basis of the inaccuracy measure defined by D.F. Kerridge in 1961) whose use for the likelihood-ratio test for goodness of fit with fuzzy data provides a manageable procedure View full abstract»
Alternative implementations of Prolog: the microarchitecture perspectivePublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 693 - 698
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (572 KB)
An area that should provide opportunities for obtaining improvements in the performance of Prolog programming is explored: the microarchitecture of the uniprocessor engine. Alternative execution models are examined for a uniprocessor microengine, and their performance is measured on 14 separate benchmark programs; the resulting data is presented and analyzed. The author also examines the program size explosion that results from compiling directly to a low-level instrument assembly. The characteristics of an optimal microarchitecture are identified and opportunities for further improvement at the microengine level are discussed View full abstract»

An object recognition system based on global features and nearest neighbor matching is extended and enhanced using classification quality assessment methodology. For quality assessment, a classification decision is processed at two levels. The first is to reject options that are not contained in the model database. The second is to identify the likelihood of error for classifications of known objects. Both stages are based on empirically determined thresholds of measures that are generated solely from the system's a priori knowledge, exploiting the known characteristics of both physical object space and feature space. Results are presented for a standardized object identification task, with a set of six similar known objects, and four unknown objects. It is shown that objects outside the model database are effectively rejected and that the accuracy of known object identifications is increased by rejecting views of low classification quality View full abstract»
A model-based aid for monitoring and controlling a large-scale systemPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 888 - 892| | Quick Abstract | PDF (576 KB)
Approaches to aiding human performance in monitoring and controlling a large-scale system are considered. One particular approach that is based on a model of human performance is described in detail. The model includes a rule-based representation of procedural knowledge, a frame-based representation of declarative knowledge, and a fuzzy prioritization mechanism to handle rule of conflicts. The online aiding approach is implemented in a simulated large-scale system that requires human monitoring and control. Results from an experimental evaluation of the aid are inconclusive in that they do not demonstrate the benefit of a direct advice-giving system; however, the aiding approach was found helpful in some tasks View full abstract»
A dynamic approach to high-precision parts matingPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 797 - 810
Cited by: Papers (14)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1328 KB)
A method for the mating of tightly fitting parts in the presence of significant sensing, model, and control uncertainties is presented. Using this method randomly placed parts that were located using a three-dimensional laser range scanning system can be mated even when the clearance between them is only 0.001 in. The various sources of error introduced in the fine forced-guided motions used to execute assemblies are examined. Among these sources are noisy force/torque readings, mechanical vibrations, the presence of sliding and sticking frictions, and the possibility of eccentric oblique impacts. It is pointed out how most of these errors might be reduced or eliminated. Straight-line motion goals (SLMGs) are then processed by the basic building blocks of a dynamic planning strategy. By dynamically building an assembly plan out of SLMGs, it is possible to carry out robotic assemblies in the presence of sensing and model uncertainties while recognizing and recovering from errors introduced by control uncertainties. A specific instance of this approach is outlined View full abstract»
Reasoning with imprecise knowledge to enhance intelligent decision supportPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 756 - 770
Cited by: Papers (10)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1552 KB)
Decisionmakers often have to deal with knowledge that is both unstructured and imprecise in nature. Lack of structure forces the use of heuristic programming and artificial intelligence methods in automated decision support systems for such problems. At the same time, the knowledge representation and manipulation methods used should be able to include imprecise knowledge, where imprecision may be caused by uncertainty and/or fuzziness. The authors use their previously developed methodology (see Decision Support Syst. vol.2, no.3, 1986 and vol.2, no.4, 1986) for using imprecise reasoning in decision support systems to describe a prototype system based on this methodology. The system's behavior is examined using a set of sample problems. The knowledge representation mechanisms used are shown to have significant expressive power and facilitate the knowledge of engineering process through greater flexibility in the representation and use of imprecise knowledge. The system is able to provide additional information to the user that cannot readily be provided in systems limited to precise reasoning View full abstract»
RIPS: a platform for experimental real-time sensory-based robot controlPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 853 - 860
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (816 KB)
The design and performance benchmarking of the prototype robotic instruction processing systems (RIPS) at the Center for Robotic Systems in Microelectronics at the University of California-Santa Barbara, is discussed. The architecture of RIPS is specifically geared for robot control, yet the system is general and fully programmable and does not assume any manipulator characteristics. RIPS provides sufficient computing capacity to attack important real-time sensory-based robot control problems. Compliant control, multiple manipulator coordination, and manufacturing cell-level integration are presently under study. Experimental testing in these areas is possible because of RIPS' high computational performance for robot control problems: a Stanford manipulator using the computed torque method can be controlled with an update time of 255 μs. This time includes inverse kinematics, dynamic compensation, and proportional derivative servoing for the six-degrees-of-freedom manipulator View full abstract»
A survey on the design of multiprocessing systems for artificial intelligence applicationsPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 667 - 692
Cited by: Papers (6) | Patents (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (3024 KB)
Some issues in designing computers for artificial intelligence (AI) processing are discussed. These issues are divided into three levels: the representation level, the control level, and the processor level. The representation level deals with the knowledge and methods used to solve the problem and the means to represent it. The control level is concerned with the detection of dependencies and parallelism in the algorithmic and program representations of the problem, and with the synchronization and scheduling of concurrent tasks. The processor level addresses the hardware and architectural components needed to evaluate the algorithmic and program representations. Solutions for the problems of each level are illustrated by a number of representative systems. Design decisions in existing projects on AI computers are classed into top-down, bottom-up, and middle-out approaches View full abstract»
Real-time application of neural networks for sensor-based control of robots with visionPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 825 - 831
Cited by: Papers (86) | Patents (7)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (916 KB)
A practical neural network-based learning control system is described that is applicable to complex robotic systems involving multiple feedback sensors and multiple command variables. In the controller, one network is used to learn to reproduce the nonlinear relationship between the sensor outputs and the system command variables over particular regions of the system state space. The learned information is used to predict the command signals required to produce desired changes in the sensor outputs. A second network is used to learn to reproduce the nonlinear relationship between the system command variables and the changes in the video sensor outputs. The learned information from this network is then used to predict the next set of video parameters, effectively compensating for the image processing delays. The results of learning experiments using a General Electric P-5 manipulator are presented. These experiments involved control of the position and orientation of an object in the field of view of a video camera mounted on the end of the robot arm, using moving objects with arbitrary orientation relative to the robot. No a priori knowledge of the robot kinematics or of the object speed of orientation relative to the robot was assumed. Image parameter uncertainty and control system tracking error in the video image were found to converge to low values within a few trials View full abstract»
A gray-level threshold selection method based on maximum entropy principlePublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 866 - 871
Cited by: Papers (36) | Patents (9)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (536 KB)
A description is given of a gray-level threshold selection method for image segmentation that is based on the maximum entropy principle. The optimal threshold value is determined by maximizing the a posteriori entropy subject to certain inequality constraints which are derived by means of spectral measures characterizing uniformity and the shape of the regions in the image. For this purpose, the authors use both the gray-level distribution and the spatial information of an image. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by its performance on some real-world images. An extension of this method to chromatic images is provided View full abstract»
A description of the dynamic behavior of fuzzy systemsPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 745 - 755
Cited by: Papers (44)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (920 KB)
An approach is presented for analyzing the global behavior of a fuzzy dynamical system that applies the concept and method of cell-to-cell mapping to obtain the evolving trend of the states of a fuzzy dynamical system. The behavior of the fuzzy system is characterized by equilibria, periodic motions, and their domain of attractions. Min-max operation accumulates the fuzziness of a fuzzy system in every step of iterations and makes the state evolution obscure. The proposed method transforms a given fuzzy mapping to at Z-to-Z mapping and does not accumulate fuzziness. Both the real and fuzzy initial state response analyses are discussed. An inverted pendulum controlled by a fuzzy controller is analyzed to illustrate the validity of the method View full abstract»
The Connection Machine model CM-1 architecturePublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 707 - 713

An examination is presented of the performance of the Connection Machine model CM-1 system, a general-purpose computer capable of adapting to many sizes and types of data sets. An overview of the hardware and software systems is provided and a simple application is presented from which the raw performance of the machine is examined. This illustrates the power of data-level parallelism and indicates how CM-1 performance is enhanced by the use of virtual processors and variable word size. The CM-1 system consists of a 64000 processor array, from one to four front-end computers, and high-speed peripherals such as disks and image devices View full abstract»
Processing fuzzy temporal knowledgePublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 729 - 744
Cited by: Papers (55) | Patents (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1460 KB)
L.A. Zadeh's (1975) possibility theory is used as a general framework for modeling temporal knowledge pervaded with imprecision or uncertainty. Ill-known dates, time intervals with fuzzy boundaries, fuzzy durations, and uncertain precedence relations between events can be dealt with in this approach. An explicit representation (in terms of possibility distributions) of the available information, which may be neither precise nor certain, is maintained. Deductive patterns of reasoning involving fuzzy and/or uncertain temporal knowledge are established, and the combination of fuzzy partial pieces of information is considered. A scheduled example with fuzzy temporal windows is discussed View full abstract»
A flexible method for nonlinear multicriteria decision-making problemsPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 883 - 887
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (556 KB)
An iterative and interactive approach to formulating and solving multicriteria decision-making problems is proposed in which the modeling and the solution phases are not strictly separated but overlap. At each iteration, the decision-maker is allowed to designate criterion functions as objective functions or as constraints or as something in between. The algorithm guarantees all intermediate solutions to be efficient and the final solution to be a most preferred solution. While the algorithm does not provide information about the marginal rates of substitution among the objective functions at a solution point as given by other methods, the marginal substitution rates are obtained by comparing two objectives at a time. The algorithm can also be used to solve linear multicriteria decision-making problems. However, since the surrogate function is nonlinear, the procedure introduces nonlinearities into the problems and may not be as computationally efficient as some of the other available algorithms. The algorithm is illustrated using a specific problem in water resources management View full abstract»
RUBIC: a multiprocessor for rule-based systemsPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 699 - 706
Cited by: Papers (6) | Patents (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (604 KB)
It is shown how sequential production systems can be transformed into equivalent parallel forms by performing an analysis of rule interdependence. In the parallel production system model, rules fire simultaneously and the search space is reduced from the original form. A multiprocessor called RUBIC (rule-based inference computer) was designed to implement the parallel processing model. RUBIC has a message-passing architecture. The partitioning and mapping of production systems into the multiprocessor is achieved by optimizing a performance index such that inherent parallelism is maximized and interprocessor communication is minimized View full abstract»
Joint recognition and tracking for robotic arc weldingPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 714 - 728
Cited by: Papers (10) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1272 KB)
An automatic joint guidance system was developed as part of a project to develop an expert welding robot. The apparatus consists of a servo-robot laser scanner mounted on a conventional CLOOS model ROMAT 75/76 industrial welding robot. The computer vision system is able to recognize and track the joint to be welded without external information by using range data obtained from scanning the workpiece. An approach and some experiments related to achieving this ultimate goal are discussed. Three different joint types are identified. Tracking of the joint geometry is done by building, online, a three-dimensional model of the joint during the welding process. This approach is attractive because of its complete autonomy for joint recognition and its ability to trace the geometry while at the same time avoiding an elaborate teaching pass prior to the process. The algorithms used have been tested in a simulation using real laser data. The results indicate that it is possible to recognize automatically the joint type and then to track the joint during the process of welding View full abstract»

A method for segmenting three-dimensional overlapping surfaces is presented that is based on moving a light source in a horizontal plane relative to the surfaces to be segmented. Using a camera that is placed above the surfaces. The shadows cast by the surfaces at each light source angle are recorded and analyzed. The segmentation algorithm is simple and based on Boolean processing of the data. A set of experimental results demonstrates the robustness and usefulness of the method View full abstract»
New sensing strategies for monitoring moving polyhedral objects by machine visionPublication Year: 1989 , Page(s): 872 - 880| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1012 KB)
A set of sensing strategies is proposed for monitoring three-dimensional moving objects by computer vision. Three-dimensional (3-D) object surface points are selected as the features for monitoring 3-D moving objects because the point features are easy to detects, extract, store, and manipulate. It is proved that the minimum measurable feature point set for monitoring a 3-D moving convex polyhedral object is exactly the set containing all the junction points of the objects. Based on the sampling theorem and several properties of photogrammetry it is proved that the minimum data-acquisition rate of a vision system monitoring 3-D moving objects can be determined with discretely sampled two-dimensional image sequence data alone. Certain properties of orthographic projection useful for determining the minimum number of sensors needed
Ns to monitor 3-D moving convex polyhedral objects are investigated, and the bound on Ns are also derived. An algorithm for determining Ns and the corresponding directions of the sensors is proposed. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm is shown by three illustrative examples and an application example View full abstract»

Tagged: home decor
We've decided we have a deadline on the home, basically the due date of the baby bean… Which is a bit of a freak out moment for me, since I am a procrastinator by nature – at least when it comes to taking inspiration from my mind and putting it down on paper, then the follow-up. The bedroom is close to done, we've managed to decide on how we will add the baby bean to this space. Freak-out-mode has led to some good though, I am entering nesting mode like a champ. I've suddenly turned into the organizer from hell, everything should be organized, so that everything is simple when we have the baby bean to care for. Must be a struggle for the H, coming home to me every day, with a new idea for something that needs to be done ASAP. My main goal at the moment is sorting out a storage space downstairs, then there is the creation of a brilliant workspace for the two of us… I am getting quite tired of spending my time working on my laptop from the sofa or the dining room table… Will be a heavy load of work to deal with after NYE, but at least – I will be prepared!
How much do you want a nice chunky bench for your dining room right now? I'm feeling a bench crave coming on, via
This is a brilliant hallway setup, that chair, the art on the floor, the hooks on the wall… Inspiration bank! via
Art wall extravaganza! Absolutely beautiful, via
Kitchen love, that counter top is high on my kitchen to do list… unknown source
Perfection, via
I have promised to put my nesting craze to good use and work on the daddy gift of the century, the finishing of a great workspace for both me and the H… Right now I am in the mode of inspiration hunt + figuring out how and where to create it… I am loving the use of IKEA shelves as storage, need to look into these – give extra space on top as well since they are not floor to ceiling. via
Always craving the kubus candle holder, via
Suddenly I am feeling a black door crave coming on, via
Life in black and white… via
The one and only, the lamp, via
Kitchen love, great combination of black and white tiles… Mostly craving that chair though! via
Let the sunshine in, amazing windows! And the lamps in the ceiling, crave! via
There are three things I am craving in this space – that sofa, that amazing lamp and those amazing picture frames… via
I'll take the four-legged babies out for a play in the snow now, hoping your December days are filled with beautiful snow days!
We have finally gotten the internet in our new home fixed, so here I am – back on the inspiration trail! We are making great progress here at the moment, we've painted what needs to be painted on the second floor (our main floor), we've got most of the basic furniture sorted (we have somewhere to sit, somewhere to sleep and somewhere to eat) – so now it is all about sorting out what we are still in the need of and also organizing all of our boxes full of mess. Since I've been without the internet for a month or so, I haven't had the access to my general source of inspiration – so here comes an inspiration rant to make up for this month. To be honest, we are desperately in need for inspiration as well, we are at that point when it is all about the details and the pieces of furniture we didn't even know we needed. Here goes nothing, inspiration time!
So here we go, the room-by-room inspiration check is on its way. I'll start with the room we'll start fixing first, the bedroom. We have decided to fix the bedroom first, simply so we have a room to sleep in as we do the rest of the house…
I want the bedroom to be the perfect place to go to rest at night, and somewhere were you don't mind spending an entire Sunday… We are still contemplating if we want to mix up colors on the wall, or just go for one unison color. We have considered having a different color on the wall behind the bed, I like the idea of having a different color or texture on the one wall… Besides that I want a lot of lovely textures; wood, linen and metals… Anyone got any tips on fixing a bedroom please bring it on!?
First of all I love the colors in this room, and then the texture of the wall, via
The row of images and those pillows, bring it on, via
That border of hooks, pretty awesome, via
The bedding, via
The geometry, via
I am craving some linen bedding, via
Go grey, via
Neutral love, via
Adore the bedding, via
I want that Tokyo print, via
unknown source
Bright and light – perfect, via
Great bedroom grey! via
Love the grey wall, via
Black and white, via
Great tones, via
Love the photo wallpaper, maybe this would be a nice idea for the bedroom, via
Another great wall color, via
Tomorrow we are heading off to yet another viewing – and this time I have a bit of a suspicion this will give me a "I want to live here" feeling – or at least I hope it will… So in the name of home hunting here is one huge inspiration rant devoted to interiors giving me ideas for our new home.
There is simply something about the color combinations that really gets me going in this one, especially the pale blue walls, via
A lovely dressing area wouldn't be wrong… Not at all! via
I want that cabinet, stat! via
I've always loved this MALM dresser from IKEA, I regret leaving the one I had in Oslo when I moved – it's been a year and I still miss it. So definitely getting another one or maybe two when we get into a new space, and I feel pretty inspired by this idea of just adding some leather to the mix. via
I am always a sucker for anything built-in – like these built-in shelves – bring it on! via
I adore this shower – not only the piping and the amazing shower head, the contrast color in the built-in shelf is also a big plus. Definitely keeping this for inspiration if we have to redo a bathroom in the near future. via
Absolutely loving the color of this kitchen, a perfect hue don't you think? via
Another IKEA dresser gone DIY wonderful, via
This bedroom just has that perfect feel of comfort and relaxation to it, both images via
That brick wall! via
I love this deck chair, works perfectly outdoors for long summer days and inside with a cozy blanket for those cold winter nights… Sold! via
This bedding, and those stools at the end of the bed, yes please… via
The perfectly cozy kitchen! I just want a kitchen big enough for my stuff… via
Does anyone know where I can get a hold of those chairs? Crave it! via
A perfectly tiny dining nook – I am prepared to live with no space (city living is spaceless living to me), via
That's it for tonight…
Since we are on the look-out for our new home I thought it would be nice to fill the blog with some of the stuff I want to fill my new home with. So I've decided to do a series of posts on brand love, where I showcase some of the brands I'm going to turn to when it comes to filling our new space… This is just going to be a short selection, since it would end in total overload if I was going to go through the entire list of interior hunting ground.
Let's start the whole shabang with Tine K. Tine K is a Danish lifestyle brand, who seems to know the right balance between cold and warm, to create an amazing atmosphere. You can check out their own home right here. I personally love how this brand draws inspiration from around the home and brings it all together in a cohesive way. Of course we need to bring in to account the fact that the brand rips brilliantly at my Scandinavian roots!
Here is a collection of visual inspiration – the Tine K way.

unknown source
Inspired yet? I know I am.
Feel like getting off the grid? How about doing it in a gorgeous barn conversion – I know these lovely homes makes me want to jump of the grid asap! We are talking lovely brick work, high ceilings, lots of light and gorgeous beams. Just imagine finding the perfect quiet spot, the perfect old barn or stable to redo just the way you want it… It's absolutely one of the home-related dreams of mine!

The Vengeance of Rome
The Fourth Volume of the Colonel Pyat Quartet
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
Michael Moorcock's most infamous antihero continues his epic and hilariously distasteful escapades in this fantastic fourth installment of the Pyat quartet. Picking up where Jerusalem Commands left off, bisexual, cocaine-loving, Jewish anti-Semite Pyat enthusiastically embraces Fascism and manages to insinuate himself into Mussolini's inner circle. Sent by the fascist dictator on a secret mission to Munich, he becomes embroiled in Nazi Party intrigue and ultimately finds himself in the Dachau concentration camp. Thirty years later, having incredibly survived both Dachau and the Spanish Civil War, Pyat's tale winds down as he recounts his adventures to a writer named Moorcock. From Pyat's friendships with murderous dictators to his perverted sex acts with Nazi storm troopers, this book serves up a deliciously iconoclastic feast for fans of speculative fiction.less
