A charge-coupled device (CCD) capable of 200 Mpixels/s readout has been designed and fabricated on thick, high-resistivity silicon. The CCDs, up to 600 microm thick, are fully depleted, ensuring good infrared to x-ray detection efficiency, together with a small point spread function. High readout speed, with good analog performance, is obtained by the use of a large number of parallel output po...

Current theories of second-order motion perception postulate that such motion is detected by either a high-level mechanism which computes the temporal correspondences between "features" extracted from the image, or low-level motion mechanisms which operate on a nonlinear, neural transformation of the luminance profile of the image. Theories which favour the latter strategy either suggest that f...

It is well known that, in contrast to general relativity, there are two conformally related frames, the Jordan frame and the Einstein frame, in which the Brans-Dicke theory, a prototype of generic scalar-tensor theory, can be formulated. There is a long standing debate on the physical equivalence of the formulations in these two different frames. It is shown here that gravitational deflection o...

Strategies that produce generalized responding are valuable, especially with regard to language acquisition, because relatively little training may result in large behavior changes. Conditions that result in generalized manding were analyzed in the current study. We demonstrated in reversal designs that undesirable or single-word responses were the predominant mand forms of 3 preschool children...

We demonstrate temporal imaging for the measurement and characterization of optical arbitrary waveforms and events. The system measures single-shot 200 ps frames at a rate of 104 MHz, where each frame is time magnified by a factor of -42.4x. Impulse response tests show that the system enables 783 fs resolution when placed at the front end of a 20 GHz oscilloscope. Modulated pulse trains charact...

1. ABSTRACT Devices which can add damping and strengthen structural systems, without changes to the existing components, were found recently extremely useful in retrofitting lightly reinforced frames and other structures. Some damping devices were developed purposely for building structures, however, many more were adapted from use in other industries such as the military and aerospace. Damping...

It is shown that one can make use of local instabilities in turbulent video frames to enhance image resolution beyond the limit defined by the image sampling rate. We outline the processing algorithm, present its experimental verification on simulated and real-life videos, and discuss its potentials and limitations.

We give several internal and external characterizations of pseudocompactness in frames which extend (and transcend) analogous characterizations in topological spaces. In the case of internal characterizations we do not make reference (explicitly or implicitly) to the reals.

The theory of frame transformation relation connecting body oriented angular momentum states and lab weakly coupled momentum states have been extended from rotor-electron to rotor-dimer systems. Coupling schemes are analyzed for weak and strong cases of correlation between lab and two different rotor body frames. It is shown that the frame transformation relation is a purely quantum effect at l...
