This technical report explores the degree of accuracy to which the propagation delay of WLAN packets can be measured using today’s commercial, inexpensive equipment. The aim is to determine the distance between two wireless nodes for location sensing applications. We conducted experiments and measured the time difference between sending a data packet and receiving the corresponding immediate ac...

Frame latency is one of the main QoS parameters and consequently an important target in performance testing. We compared MIMO, a new metric for measuring frame latency, versus other metrics and in particular versus LCD. Analysis of examples as well as measurement results demonstrated that MIMO is less affected by test workload and is a better indicator of the switch performance, in particular f...

in this paper, design and construction of a tactile sensor for measuring contact-force is presented. mechanism of measuring contact-force in this tactile sensor is based on impedance changing of piezoelectric crystal and voltage of different points in circuit as a result of applying force on the crystal. by considering a specific point in the circuit and recording the changes of its voltage, ma...

background: similar to the thermoluminescence (tl) spectra, the optical parameters variations can also be used in tl crystals for dosimetry purposes. these optical parameters can include absorption, transmission and reflection coefficients. materials and methods: single crystals of kbr and kcl which have been used in this research were grown from laboratory grade extra pure precursor powders. c...

Preferential attachment models were shown to be very effective in predicting such important properties of real-world networks as the power-law degree distribution, small diameter, etc. Many different models are based on the idea of preferential attachment: LCD, Buckley-Osthus, Holme-Kim, fitness, random Apollonian network, and many others. Although preferential attachment models reflect some im...

2 • 2 hexagonal structure, two frequency bands can be now placed at the same sheet in contrast to the single hexagonal structure where it can appear only one frequency band. This double hexagonal structure can bring improvements for the operators and may allow them to enhance many new factors. In particular, it can be used to enhance security energy and spacial flexibility in cellular networks....

New coordination polymer of [HgLCl2]n (1) with HgCl2 and Schiff base bidentate ligand (4-methoxyphenyl) pyridine-2yl methyleneamine (L) was prepared and structurally characterized. In the 1D network structure of 1, the mecury (II) ion adopts an HgN2Cl3 distorted square pyramid geometry. In this complex, one of the chlorine acts as bridging ligand connecting two adjacent mercury(II) ions while, ...

TiCl4, ammonia, inorganic salts as raw material, nanometer composite-crystal TiO2 powders were synthesized by two-step chemical method. Precursors were crystallized with different phase and stable composite-crystal TiO2 with anatase and rutile phase was prepared at low temperature. Quantitative control of crystal phase was realized. Remarkable factors includ...

Novel designs of demultiplexers based on photonic crystal fibers (PCF) s and photonic crystal waveguides (PCW) s are presented here. We have considered two types of PCFs and PCWs, namely Dual concentric core PCF, Multicore PCF, PCW with dielectric rods in air and PCW with air holes in dielectric background. Finite difference time domain method (FDTD) is employed to analyze all these devices at ...
