Error compensation in optical monitoring was demonstrated many years ago for narrow bandpass and edge filters. It is shown here that the compensation effects can apply to a broader range of more general coatings. This is illustrated with a very broadband antireflection coating design of 20 layers and a ramp design of 13 layers. The choice of monitoring wavelength and monitoring strategy are imp...

Machining accuracy can be greatly increased through the use of highresolution position sensors, calibration of machine tool or robot components, and other measures which serve to improve the machine’s positional response to part programs. Unfortunately, much of the inaccuracy in finished parts is due to dynamically varying quantities, such as tool wear, chatter, or thermal expansion; random err...

In this paper the multiframe blind deconvolution method 1] for the identiication and correction of turbulence-induced phase aberrations in a ground-based telescope is extended to include the gains, backgrounds, and biases inherent in many charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. In addition, an application of this method to real telescope data is described.

An Artificial Neural Network-based error compensation method is proposed for improving the accuracy of resolver-based 16-bit encoders by compensating for their respective systematic error profiles. The error compensation procedure, for a particular encoder, involves obtaining its error profile by calibrating it on a precision rotary table, training the neural network by using a part of this dat...

Compared to the error factors of the Linear Array Digital Sun Sensor (DSS), those of the Area Array DSS are complicated and methods used for error compensation are not valid or simple enough. This paper presents the main error factors of the Area Array DSS and proposes an effective method to compensate them. The procedure of error compensation of Area Array DSS includes three steps. First, the ...

On speech signal processing, it is very important to find the fundamental frequency of voice. The reason is why it is used in variable places, such as speech-enhancement-system, speech-recognition system, speaker-classification-system, and handicapped assisting-system. However the pitch detection is difficult when the original signal is corrupted by noise, or put in transition section of voice....

A key feature of skilled object control is the ability to correct performance errors. This process is not straightforward for unstable objects (e.g., inverted pendulum or "stick" balancing) because the mechanics of the object are sensitive to small control errors, which can lead to rapid performance changes. In this study, we have characterized joint recruitment and coordination processes in an...

The k-Leaf Root problem is a particular case of graph power problems. Here, we study “error correction” versions of k-Leaf Root—that is, for instance, adding or deleting at most l edges to generate a graph that has a k-leaf root. We provide several NP-completeness results in this context, and we show that the NP-complete Closest 3Leaf Root problem (the error correction version of 3-Leaf Root) i...

Stochastic screen halftoning combines the speed of ordered dither and high quality of error diiusion. The general approach to stochastic screen design employs either spatial domain or frequency domain ltering to generate binary patterns with \blue noise" characteristic at each gray level, which can be summed to form a single threshold array. In this paper, we will propose a novel technique to d...
