Minimum audible angle (MAA) thresholds were obtained for four subjects in a two-alternative, forced-choice, three up/one down, adaptive paradigm as a function of the orientation of the array of sources. With sources distributed on the horizontal plane, the mean MAA threshold was 0.97 degrees. With the sources distributed on the vertical plane (array rotated 90 degrees), the mean MAA threshold w...

In the area of membrane computing, a new computability model, now called P system was introduced by PAUN (2002) inspired from the cell structure and its functioning. One area of P systems deals with string objects and rewriting rules. Recently, array P systems with array objects and array rewriting rules were introduced. Here we introduce a new class of array P systems called sequential/paralle...

While saccadic eye movements produce rapid shift of images of objects on the retina, the visual world is perceived as stationary (visual stability), but the precise mechanisms involved in such perception remain unclear. We investigated if visual stimuli existing before and/or after a saccade serve to preserve visual stability. Participants observed a vertical array of light-spots flashing conse...

Three-dimensional (3D) integration and multi-level cell (MLC) are two attractive technologies to achieve ultra-high density for mass storage applications. In this work, a three-layer 3D vertical AlOδ/Ta2O5-x/TaOy resistive random access memories were fabricated and characterized. The vertical cells in three layers show good uniformity and high performance (e.g. >1000X HRS/LRS windows, >10(10) e...

We demonstrate full integration of vertical optical ring resonators with silicon nanophotonic waveguides on silicon-on-insulator substrates to accomplish a significant step toward 3D photonic integration. The on-chip integration is realized by rolling up 2D differentially strained TiO(2) nanomembranes into 3D microtube cavities on a nanophotonic microchip. The integration configuration allows f...

Ocean acoustic noise can be processed efficiently to extract Green's function information between two receivers. By using noise array-processing techniques, it has been demonstrated that a passive array can be used as a fathometer [Siderius, et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 120, 1315-1323 (2006)]. Here, this approach is derived in both frequency and time domains and the output corresponds to the ref...

A thermo-electric 3-D analysis of 980 nm vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays based on thefinite elementmethod (FEM) is presented in this paper. High performanceVCSEL array structureswith square mesas are modeled by applying a steady-state 3-D heat dissipation model. Several oxide aperture diameters (Da), substrate thicknesses, current densities, array sizes, heat flux, and tem...

This paper introduces a function of correlation between two hydrophones, basing on the Kuperman-Ingenito ocean ambient noise model. There is a similarity in form between the cross correlation function and the transfer function in ocean waveguide from a point source to a receiver. Thus, the noise cross correlation function between two hydrophones in vertical location can extract actual transfer ...

This paper presents the viewing angle improvement of integral imaging (II) three-dimensional (3D) display system using horizontal and vertical multi-directional projections and elemental image (EI) rearranging method with pepper and salt noise reduction. Through this way, each elemental lens of micro lens array gathers horizontal and vertical multi-directional illuminations of multiple EI sets ...
