It has been shown that time reversal (TR), which is developed in the acoustics domain, can also improve the detection performance of a radar system. However, the TR technique is no longer a good choice when the noise level is high since the retransmitted signal contains significant noise components. We investigate a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) detection process similar to TR detection...

The ATRAP experiment at the CERN Antiproton decelerator (AD) aiming for a precise CPT test by studying the antihydrogen atom includes a detection system for the antiproton annihilation products. Antihydrogen production studies require the knowledge of the produced antihydrogen atoms as well as absolute antiproton losses during the development. In 2008 the ATRAP experiment has been modified by a...

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) freeway sensor network has two components: the sensor system of 25,000 inductive loop sensors grouped into 8,000 vehicle detector stations (VDS) and covering 30,500 freeway direction-miles; and the communication network over which the sensor measurements are transported to Caltrans Traffic Management Centers. The sensor network is virtually...

The design and parameters of the IHEP–JINR neutrino detector, the largest experimental setup at the U-70 accelerator (IHEP, Protvino), is described. The main detector components (the drift chambers, the liquid-scintillator counters, the detector of electromagnetic showers, and the magnetic system) are described in detail. The organization of the on-line data-acquisition system and the off-line ...

Our shot boundary detection system mainly consists of three components: fade out/in(FOI)detector, cut(CUT)detector and gradual transition(GT)detector. The key technique of FOI detector is the recognition of monochrome frame. In CUT detector, second order derivative method is applied to get cut candidates,and then flashlight detector and other gradual transition filter module are incorporated to...

Suboptimal detectors of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) have been studied because the implementation of the optimum detector, the maximum-likelihood (ML) detector, has so far been considered infeasible for high-rate system. Sphere decoder (SD) using depth-first tree searching and K-best algorithm are used for near optimum detector. SD has the non-deterministic computational throughput and...

Parallel programming is becoming an important cornerstone of general computing. In addition, type systems have significant impact on program analysis. In this paper, we demonstrate an automated typebased system that soundly detects parallelizability of sequential functional programs. Our type inference system discovers the parallelizability property of a sequential program in a modular fashion,...

The laser alignment system of the ZEUS microvertex detector is described. The detector was installed in 2001 as part of an upgrade programme in preparation for the second phase of electron-proton physics at the HERA collider. The alignment system monitors the position of the vertex detector support structure with respect to the central tracking detector using semi-transparent amorphous-silicon ...
