We measured depth from interocular delay (The Pulfrich effect) using a dynamic random-dot pattern, consisting of a spatially-random noise field, the individual elements of which were sinusoidally-modulated in luminance over time. When an interocular phase difference in the flicker was introduced the display appeared to rotate in depth around a vertical axis like a transparent textured cylinder....

We propose a new distributed scheduling scheme for guaranteeing quality of service(QoS) in WSNs. We first introduce the two multi-hop delay factors which can be caused by conventional TDMA scheduling;queueing delay and the delay by random link schedule. Next, this paper drives average end-toend delay of the proposed scheduling scheme that sequentially schedules the slots on the path and the con...

The performance of high-speed VLSI circuits is increasingly limited by interconnect coupling noise. In this paper we present a closed-form crosstalk noise model with accuracy comparable to that of SPICE for an arbitrary ramp input. We also develop a simplified delay model for estimating delays on coupled RC lines considering input slew times for both aggressor and victim lines. We then apply ou...

This article is concerned with the local stabilization problem for discrete-time systems both distributed state delay and fast-varying input under actuator saturations. By introducing some terms concerning distributedly delayed current state, a novel polytopic model first proposed to characterize saturation nonlinearity. Then, by incorporating piecewise Lyapunov functional summation inequalitie...

We analyze circuit switching in a multiprocessor network where connection requests or sessions arrive at each node of the network according to a Poisson process with rate Each session joins the appropriate input queue at its source node and upon advancing to the head of the queue transmits a set up packet to establish a connection If the set up packet is successful it reserves the links on the ...

Logic and structural transformations to reduce power have been considered by a number of authors. [2, 3, 4, 5]. However, all the results presented so far have been based on models of power and estimation methods that may not be a accurate re ection of `real world' constraints. The performance requirements of industrial designs often signi cantly restrict the applicability of the power reducing ...

We discuss a nite horizon H∞ control problem for time-varying systems with input delays. Clarifying a relationship between two H∞ control problems in input delay case and in measurement delay case, we derive a solution in input delay case based on the known result for the H∞ control problem in measurement delay case, and show that the solution has the same predictor–observer structure as the so...

A Texas Instruments TMS320C30 floating point digital signal processor has been used to implement a noise canceler/self-tuning filter for extracting sinusoidal audio signals from broad-band noise. A very significant part of the work is the optimization of the tuner's performance through proper choice of relevant adaptive filter parameters as well as efficient TMS320C30 code design and implementa...
