Eye contact captures attention and receives prioritized visual processing. Here we asked whether eye contact might be processed outside conscious awareness. Faces with direct and averted gaze were rendered invisible using interocular suppression. In two experiments we found that faces with direct gaze overcame such suppression more rapidly than faces with averted gaze. Control experiments ruled...

The objective of this paper is to present the modeling and analysis of a 1.7 Mva SMES-based voltage sag corrector devices. The topology of the SMES-based system and its response to an upstream fault are described. This paper details various modeling aspects of the device including methods to generate a triangular signal and an internal reference voltage. Models to characterize the harmonic cont...

Over the past several decades music production has evolved from something that was only possible with multiroom, multi-million dollar studios into the province of the average person’s living room. New tools for digital production have revolutionized the way we consume and interact with music on a daily basis. We propose a system based on a structured audio framework that can generate a basic mi...

We introduce from first principles a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging and target motion estimation method that is combined with compensation for radar platform trajectory perturbations. The main steps of the method are (a) segmentation of the data into properly calibrated small apertures, (b) preliminary motion estimation from the data using the Wigner transform and the ambiguity function...

We investigated a custom Monte Carlo (MC) platform in the generation of opto-physiological models of motion artefact and perfusion in pulse oximetry. With the growing availability and accuracy of tissue optical properties in literatures, MC simulation of light-tissue interaction is providing increasingly valuable information for optical bio-monitoring research. Motion-induced artefact and loss ...

In this study, the authors proposed explicit formulae of surge, heave, and pitch motion ship in regular waves expressed as function principal hull-form parameters extracted dominant those for simple estimation wave loads structural design. order to develop which have enough accuracy wide range applicability, theoretical approach was adopted based on linear seakeeping theory. process deriving fo...
