Using the concept of steerable filters, it is possible to represent the rotation of a known template – and thus arbitrary orientations of lines or edges – as a linear combination of a fixed number of base filters, thus allowing a computationally efficient detection of 1D structures. In spite of their usefulness in many image processing areas, such structures exhibit one important drawback: Due ...

Wireless power is one of the new promising technologies for IoT applications. The use arrays transfer to free-moving objects has revolutionized wireless transmission (WPT) Herein, we present an extendable platform transmitting a moving object receiving from array. transmitter (TX) consists two overlapping layers square planar coils rotated 45 degrees each other provide best electromagnetic flux...

Self-to-object spatial relations are generally considered to be transient and supported primarily by perceptual processes. The present study investigates whether people can acquire stable self-to-object spatial relations that are not disrupted by disorientation. Participants either simultaneously or sequentially viewed the object locations from a learning position amidst a geometrically irregul...

Tunable hydrophobic/hydrophilic flexible Teflon nanocone array surfaces were fabricated over large areas (cm(2)) by a simple two-step method involving the oxygen plasma etching of a colloidal monolayer of polystyrene beads on a Teflon film. The wettability of the nanocone array surfaces was controlled by the nanocone array dimensions and various additional surface modifications. The resultant T...
