In this paper, we propose a fast labeling algorithm based on block-based concepts. Because the number of memory access points directly affects the time consumption of the labeling algorithms, the aim of the proposed algorithm is to minimize neighborhood operations. Our algorithm utilizes a block-based view and correlates a raster scan to select the necessary pixels generated by a block-based sc...

We demonstrate a simple, essentially alignment-free Transient-Grating Frequency-Resolved-Optical-Gating arrangement using a simple input mask that separates the input beam into three beams and a Fresnel biprism that crosses and delays them. It naturally operates single shot and has no moving parts. It is also extremely broadband and hence should be ideal for measuring pulses from optical parame...

Phased arrays of airborne ultrasound transducers are widely utilized as a key technology to achieve mid-air convergence intense ultrasound, which is applied variety systems, such contactless tactile presentation, acoustic-levitation and its application, mid-air-flow acceleration, etc. However, it requires considerably precise phase control with temporally severe synchronization between elements...

The Blue Noise Mask (BNM) is a halftone screen that produces unstructured visually pleasing dot patterns. The BNM combines the blue-noise characteristics of error diiusion and the simplicity of ordered dither. A BNM is constructed by designing a set of interdependent binary patterns for individual gray levels. In this paper, we investigate the quality issues in blue-noise binary pattern design ...

The adsorption and separation behavior of SO2-CO2, SO2-N2 and CO2-N2 binary mixtures in bundles of aligned double-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated using the grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method and ideal adsorbed solution theory. Simulations were performed at 303 K with nanotubes of 3 nm inner diameter and various intertube distances. The results showed that the packing with an inte...

b = 1. The index set I must be of the form I = A [ B [ C where A = f1g B = fz + 1 j z 2 C0; z + 1 2 C0g and C = f0z j z 2 C1; z + 1 2 C1g: Observe that these three sets are pairwise-disjoint. Therefore, The other cases can be treated similarly. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors wish to thank the anonymous referee for careful review of the original manuscript and helpful comments. Double-check of the c...
