Abstract The noncircular synchronous belt drive mechanism has demonstrated certain achievements and been used in special fields. Research regarding mechanisms focused on optimization design kinematic analysis China, whereas two pulley transmissions have developed overseas. However, owing to the characteristics of pulley, real-time variation length slack during transmission is significant, resul...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study sought to determine the frequency of noncircular lumens in patients with significant carotid atherosclerotic disease and to evaluate the effect of noncircular lumens on stenosis measurement derived from angiographic projections. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients presenting with an internal carotid artery stenosis of at least 50% were imaged with spiral...

These two studies explored 3- and 5-year-olds' evaluation of noncircular and circular explanations, and their use of such explanations to determine informant credibility. Although 5-year-olds demonstrated a selective preference for noncircular over circular explanations (Experiment 1: Long Explanations; Experiment 2: Short Explanations), 3-year-olds only demonstrated a preference for the noncir...

The concept of attributed tree transducer is a formal model for studying properties of attribute grammars In this paper for output languages of noncircular producing and visiting attributed tree transducers we introduce and prove a pumping lemma We ap ply this pumping lemma to gain two results there is no noncircular producing and visiting attributed tree transducer which computes the set of al...

In this paper, we have considered the problem of blind source separation of noncircular signals. We have proposed a new Jacobi-like algorithm that achieves optimization of the optimal combination of complex fourth-order cumulant based contrasts. We have investigated the application to separation of non-Gaussian sources using fourth order cumulants. And computer simulations applied to noncircula...

The atmospheric glory caused by backscattering of sunlight from clouds usually has circular colored rings. However, glories with noncircular rings are frequently observed, especially along the edges of clouds. Noting that the angular radius of the rings of glories is a sensitive indicator of the size of the water droplets in clouds, several images of glories have been examined in an attempt to ...

Despite an increased interest in complex independent component analysis (ICA) during the last two decades, a closed form expression for the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for the demixing matrix is not known yet. In this paper, we fill this gap by deriving a closed-form expression for the CRB of the demixing matrix for instantaneous noncircular complex ICA. It contains the CRB for circular complex ICA ...
