In this paper, we consider how to apply the sequence space and the shift register generator (SRG) theories to distributed sample scrambling (DSS), which exhibits the best performance in scrambling of small frame-sized signals. We first consider how to predict scrambling sequences using their samples, which is a basic problem for a proper synchronization within the DSS systems. Then for DSS scra...

The present study investigated the effects of phrase length and scrambling in the processing of Japanese sentences. Reading times of short phrases, long phrases, verbs, and whole sentences, measured by the method of self-paced reading, did not differ in terms of phrase-length order and scrambling. In addition, four types of sentences constructed on the basis of phrase-length order and scramblin...

Japanese speakers have a choice between canonical SOV and scrambled OSV word order to express the same meaning. Although previous experiments examine the influence of one or two factors for scrambling in a controlled setting, it is not yet known what kinds of multiple effects contribute to scrambling. This study uses naturally distributed data to test the multiple effects on scrambling simultan...

We present a theoretical analysis of one-time key based phase scrambling for image matching using phase-only correlation (POC). Phase scrambling is used for visual information protection of templates. The effect of scrambling on POC values is analyzed. As a result, the peak value, which is used as a measure of signal congruence, of the POC between nonscrambled signals can be estimated by observ...

We propose and demonstrate a novel scheme for obtaining quasi-uniform rate polarization scrambling at up to 752 krad/s in fiber optic systems by using cascaded multiple fiber squeezers with each one placed in a certain orientation. Additionally, this polarization scrambler is compatible with both single-polarization and polarization-multiplexing systems. We also show that scrambled SOP with thi...

An audio fingerprint is a content-based compact signature that summarizes an audio recording. Audio Fingerprinting technologies have recently attracted attention since they allow the monitoring of audio independently of its format and without the need of meta-data or watermark embedding. These technologies need to face channel robustness as well as system accuracy and scalability to succeed on ...
