Sample selection and reconstruction for array-based multispectral imaging
(2009-02-23)
In this work we address the problem of acquisition of multispectral
images in a sampled form and the subsequent processing of the
acquired signal. The problem is relevant in the context of color
imaging in digital ...
Auto-Configuration in Multi-Hop Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2009-02-23)
As devices with wireless access technology, greater memory and longer battery life,
proliferate, there is a need to be able to allow more than one hop communication amongst
them. Also, such a network, with wireless enabled ...
Rechargeable Batteries Based on Specific Nonconjugated Conductive Polymers; Electrical, Optical and Structural Studies
(2009-02-23)
Rechargeable batteries based on specific nonconjugated conductive polymers have been studied and developed. Quadratic electro-optic effect and electron paramagnetic resonance characterization of a specific polymer was ...
Laser Beam Shaping Optical System Design Methods and Their Application in Edge-emitting Semiconductor Laser-based LIDAR Systems
(2008-09-09)
LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) systems are employed for numerous applications such as remote sensing, military applications, optical data storage, display technology, and material processing. Furthermore, they are ...
Built-In Self Test of Configurable Memory Resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(2008-09-09)
Testing embedded memory resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is difficult because the collective signal fan-in and fan-out is much greater than the available external I/O. A testing approach is needed that ...
Delay Test Scan Flip-flop (DTSFF) Design and Its Applications for Scan Based Delay Testing
(2008-09-09)
Scan based delay testing is currently mostly implemented using launch-on-capture (LOC) delay tests. Launch-on-shift (LOS) tests are generally more effective, achieving higher fault coverage with significantly fewer test ...
An Automatic Depth Control System for the On-the-Go Soil Strength Sensor
(2008-09-09)
Hardpans are areas of soil compaction formed by vehicle traffic or natural processes. These compacted areas beneath the topsoil can hinder successful crop production. A novel sensor for measuring soil strength was presented ...
Utilizing Microprocessor Based Relays as Predictive Tools to Mitigate Voltage Instability Problems That Stem from the Fast Voltage Collapse and Delayed Voltage Recovery Phenomena
(2008-09-09)
Fast voltage collapse and delayed voltage recovery are a growing concern in the power industry. Although there are several well-known methods to combat fast voltage collapse and delayed voltage recovery, additional methods ...
Design, Fabrication, and Dynamic Modeling of a Printed Circuit Based MEMS Accelerometer
(2008-09-09)
A MEMS capacitive-type accelerometer fabricated using printed circuit processing techniques is presented. A Kapton polymide film is used as the structural layer for fabricating the MEMS accelerometer. The accelerometer ...
Design of a Geotextile Roadbed Antenna to Create a Wireless Highway Network
(2008-09-09)
Incorporation of antennas into geotextile fabric to create a roadbed reinforcement with electronic transmission capabilities may find use in expanding communications infrastructures. The design of a model transmission ...
