A single multi-plane light convertor (MPLC) is applied to simultaneously mitigate turbulence-induced crosstalk and demultiplex two orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexed channels for a free-space optical link. Comprised of six programmable phase planes, the MPLC placed at receiver side turbulence mitigation channel demultiplexing. Propagating through cascaded coaxial turbulence-distorted OA...

In this paper we describe the statistical machine transliteration system of Amirkabir University of Technology, developed for NEWS 2011 shared task. This year we participated in English to Persian language pair. We use three systems for transliteration: the first system is a maximum entropy model with a new proposed alignment algorithm. The second system is Sequitur g2p tool, an open source gra...

A new high speed Nd:YAG Thomson scattering AD Convertor (HYADC) that can directly convert the detected scattered light signal into a digital signal is under development. The HYADC is expected to improve a signal to noise ratio of the Nd:YAG Thomson scattering measurement. The data storage of the HYADC which is required for the direct conversion of whole plasma discharge is drastically reduced b...

Spectrum efficient data transmission is of key interest for high capacity optical communication systems considering the limited available bandwidth. Transmission of the high speed signal with higher-order modulation formats within the Nyquist bandwidth using coherent detection brings attractive performance advantages. However, high speed Nyquist signal generation with high order modulation form...

Recently, Microsoft introduced a game interface called Kinect for the Xbox 360 video game platform. This interface enables users to control and interact with the game console without the need to touch a controller. It largely increases the users’ degree of freedom to express their emotion. In this paper, we first describe the system we developed to use this interface for sound generation and co...

In this paper, interleave-division multiple access (IDMA) is used for overloaded multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. An iterative interference cancellation multiuser detection (IIC-MUD) method is proposed, which has almost the same complexity but can achieve almost optimal (MAP) performance, much better than that of elementary s...

Syntactic parsing is an important technique in the natural language processing, yet Latvian is still lacking an efficient general coverage syntax parser. This paper reports on the first experiments on statistical syntactic parsing for Latvian — a highly inflective Indo-European language with a relatively free word order. We have induced a statistical parser from a small, non-balanced Latvian Tr...

One of the fundamental problems with residue arithmetic is the difficulty associated with residue-to-binary conversion. In recently published papers, a hardware implementation of the Mixed-Radix system was proposed for the translation of residue coded outputs into binary number for a digital filter realization. These methods are presented as a block diagram or data flow chart and require integr...
