This paper proposes a blind reversible watermarking approach for medical images based on histogram shifting in wavelet domain. An integer wavelet transform is applied to map the integer host image components to integer wavelet coefficients. The watermark information is inserted into the high frequency subband regions of the transformed image. According to the capacity required for the watermark...

We report a demonstration of the measurement of the ratio between an optical modulation sideband component and the nonshifted light component by time-averaged heterodyne holography in off-axis and frequency-shifting configuration, through coherent frequency-division multiplexing with a dual optical local oscillator. Experimental results of sinusoidal vibration sensing are reported. This techniq...

We numerically investigate self-frequency blueshifting of a fundamental soliton in a gas-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. Because of the changing underlying soliton parameters, the blueshift gives rise to adiabatic soliton compression. Based on these features, we propose a device that enables frequency shifting over an octave and pulse compression from 30 fs down to 2.3 fs.

The effects of orthographic neighborhood density and word frequency in visual word recognition were investigated using distributional analyses of response latencies in visual lexical decision. Main effects of density and frequency were observed in mean latencies. Distributional analyses additionally revealed a density × frequency interaction: for low-frequency words, density effects were mediat...

We recently reported the analysis of the frequency noise in the frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM) both in high-Q and low-Q environments [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 043708 (2009)]. We showed in the paper that the oscillator noise, the frequency fluctuation of the oscillator, becomes prominent in the modulation frequency lower than f(0)∕2Q, where f(0) and Q are the resonance frequ...
