On motion detection through a multi-layer neural network architecture.

A neural network model called lateral interaction in accumulative computation for detection of non-rigid objects from motion of any of their parts in indefinite sequences of images is presented. Some biological evidences inspire the model. After introducing the model, the complete multi-layer neural architecture is offered in this paper. The architecture consists of four layers that perform segmentation by gray level bands, accumulative charge computation, charge redistribution by gray level bands and moving object fusion. The lateral interaction in accumulative computation associated learning algorithm is also introduced. Some examples that explain the usefulness of the system we propose are shown at the end of this article.

[Matrix analysis of the client's voice: QFD applied to healthcare management].

OBJECTIVE: To apply quality function deployment (QFD) methodology to identify clients' needs by relating complaints with perceived quality domains. SETTING: A hospital within the Public Health Service of Madrid. METHODS: Matrix analysis based on the QFD model was performed, using the surveys (1998-2002) conducted in the hospital with the Servqhos questionnaire and a sample of 363 complaints made in 2002. The complaints analyzed were selected using a non-probabilistic sampling method. RESULTS: QFD methodology was highly useful, allowing complaints to be related to the results of a perceived quality questionnaire and identification of the attributes with the greatest influence on patient satisfaction. It also allowed us to identify areas for improvement according to clients' needs.
