An optical fiber pressure sensor based on the photoelastic effect using a new compensation technique is described in this paper. ’ h o optical sources and a polarization-splitting prism are incorporated into a sensor system to minimize output drifts. The four major factors-the optical source power, the fiber loss, the optical coupling loss, and the modal power distribution in fibers-are well co...

The aim of this study was to analyse torsional optokinetic nystagmus (tOKN) in 17 patients with Menière's disease before and after (1 week, 1 month and 3 months) a curative unilateral vestibular neurotomy (UVN). The tOKN was investigated during optokinetic stimulations around the line of sight directed towards either the lesioned or the healthy side, at various constant angular velocities. Dyna...

This paper introduces a feedforward charge control method, which controls the displacement by the amount of current fed to the actuator. The method includes estimation and compensation of the power losses occurring in the actuator. Power losses are estimated with an experimentally created dynamic model, that does not include the load and self heating effects. Even though the method is based on ...

This paper investigates the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) on CEO compensation, using panel data constructed for the S&P 1500 firms on CEO compensation, financial returns, and reported accounting income. Empirically SOX (i) changes the relationship between a firm’s abnormal returns and CEO compensation, (ii) changes the underlying distribution of abnormal returns, and (iii) significant...

Multiplication is the main operation in many signal processing algorithms. High accuracy and low power dissipation are the most important objectives in many multimedia and lossy applications such as filtering, convolution, Euclidean distance, fast Fourier transform (FFT).The fixed width multipliers are used to maintain a fixed format and allow a little accuracy loss of output data. In this pape...

Public and private sector activities often bring about undesired income-distributional effects, and these give rise to considerations of ways to compensate the losers. When "lump-sum" compensation is not possible, "second-best" compensation arrangements need to be identified and evaluated. The term "compensation" is often used to mean explicit payments from those who gain from a policy change, ...

For anomalous trichromats, threshold contrasts for color differences captured by the L and M cones and their anomalous analogs are much higher than for normal trichromats. The greater spectral overlap of the cone sensitivities reduces chromatic contrast both at and above threshold. But above threshold, adaptively nonlinear processing might compensate for the chromatically impoverished photorece...

Introduction: Motion compensation (MoCo) is one of the key steps to gather well-focused images for airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). For SAR systems operating at low frequencies, e.g. the VHF/ UHF band, wide-beam processing is needed in MoCo to deal with the angular dependent motion error. Therefore, a sub-aperture MoCo algorithm was proposed [1] to compensate for the motion error across...

Abstract Copyright compensation is a special civil remedy for copyright infringements and the unlawful use of according to Finnish legislation. Its purpose ensure rightholder in situations where infringement evident, but proving harm or loss difficult. aims prevent infringing copyrighted material. This article studies which purposes may be pursued with criteria must fulfilled this pursuit. The ...
