This article presents the design of a miniaturized wearable patch antenna to be utilized for body area network (BAN) applications. To reduce size crown fractal geometry technique has been adopted, and which resulted in reduction 26.85%. Further, polyester cloth has used as substrate make proposed flexible one, suitable biomedical devices. The designed functions 2.45 GHz ISM band gain bandwidth ...

Abstract In this paper, the design and development of dual-band triple-band fractal microstrip patch antennas with enhanced gain are presented. The structure is based on Sierpinski carpet fractal, where multiband functionality achieved by applying iteration technique. antenna characteristics along analysis reflection coefficient radiation patterns for each (DBFMPA) operating at 4.9 5.3 GHz (TBF...

Due to their smaller size and light weighted structures patch antennas are accustomed in modern communication Technology. With additional size in reduction, micro strip antennas are commonly used in handsets, GPS receivers etc. This paper presents a novel design of fractal shape patch antenna using U-slot on patch and defected ground structure. Due to slots on patch and ground, tri-band resonat...

Synaptic vesicles were isolated from the nerve terminals of Torpedo electric organ. After fusion, 'giant' vesicles were formed which could be examined by the patch clamp technique. One of the cationic channels, the P channel, shows a small preference for K+ compared to Na+ and has multiple conductance levels. Its rate of opening is voltage and calcium dependent. Fractal analysis of the P channe...

We have argued elsewhere [Cannon, M.D., Meltzer, D.J., 2004. Early Paleoindian foraging: examining the faunal evidence for large mammal specialization and regional variability in prey choice. Quaternary Science Reviews 23, 1955–1987] that the North American archaeofaunal record provides little support for the notion that Early Paleoindians across the continent practiced a uniform subsistence st...

To better understand the nature of the cortical deficit in amblyopia we undertook a systematic investigation of second-order processing in 8 amblyopic and 8 normal observers. We investigated local detection, discrimination and global integration. Our local stimulus consisted of a Gaussian patch of fractal noise multiplied by a 1-d sinusoidal modulator. Our global stimulus consisted of an array ...
