This paper describes a novel framework for managing connections to mobile hosts in the Internet. The framework, SLM, integrates the notions of Quality of Service management and mobility management and forms a base for overall session management. We compare SLM with the currently most widely adopted mobility management framework Mobile IP, and show how some of Mobile IP’s deficiencies are overco...

The generation of multiple vortex cones using an annular aperture array and a spatial light modulator (SLM) is studied. The direct downscale imaging of an SLM on the surface of an annular aperture enables the direct-phase modulation of the annular aperture. It is experimentally demonstrated that the direct-phase modulation of an annular aperture array can control both the topological charge and...

We present a novel method for the efficient generation of even, odd, and helical Mathieu-Gauss beams of arbitrary order and ellipticity by means of a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM). Our method consists of displaying the phase of the desired beam in the SLM; the reconstructed field is obtained on-axis following a spatial filtering process with an annular aperture. The propagation invar...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been currently under intense research for broadband wireless transmission due to its robustness against multi-path fading. In multicarrier modulation, the most commonly used technique is OFDM, it has recently become very popular in wireless communication. The main drawback of OFDM is Peak to average power ratio (PAPR). This paper present sel...

Electro-assisted extraction of ionic drugs from biological fluids through a supported liquid membrane (SLM) and into an aqueous acceptor solution was recently introduced as a new sample preparation technique termed electromembrane extraction (EME). The applied electrical potential across the SLM has typically been in the range of 1-300 V. Successful extractions have been demonstrated even with ...

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is becoming very diffused in layer manufacturing processes because of the possibility to build complex 3D parts. The process is mainly suited for the production of tools and inserts with internal undercuts and channels for conformal cooling in fast injection molding cycles. Manufacturing of parts is obtained by consolidating successive layers of metal powder materi...

Compressive sensing (CS) in a photonic link has a high potential for acquisition of wideband sparse signals. In CS it is necessary to mix the input sparse signal with a pseudorandom sequence prior to subsampling. A pulse shaper with a spatial light modulator (SLM) can be used in photonic CS as an optical mixer to improve the speed of mixing. In this approach, the sparse signal is modulated on a...

Before laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) can be used reliably and quantitatively in a clinical setting, there are several theoretical and practical issues that still must be addressed. In order to address some of these issues, an electro-optical system that utilizes a nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM) to mimic LSCI experiments was assembled. The focus of this paper is to ...

In the era of modern wireless technology Multicarrier communication is one of the more suitable and reliable communication techniques. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is used as modulation technique in multicarrier communication. OFDM has numerous advantages over single carrier communication but in spite of the advantages it suffers from one major drawback that is OFDM signal ...

The GSG (GRP33, Sam68, GLD-1) domain is a protein module found in an expanding family of RNA-binding proteins. The numerous missense mutations identified genetically in the GSG domain support its physiological role. Although the exact function of the GSG domain is not known, it has been shown to be required for RNA binding and oligomerization. Here it is shown that the Sam68 GSG domain plays a ...
