In this paper, we present a novel image-based rendering technique, which we call manifold hopping. Our technique provides users with perceptually continuous navigation by using only a small number of strategically sampled manifold mosaics or multiperspective panoramas. Manifold hopping has two modes of navigation: moving continuously along any manifold, and discretely between manifolds. An impo...

The coherence of transport between two one-dimensional interacting Fermi liquids, coupled by single particle hopping and interchain interaction, is examined in the context of two exactly soluble models. It is found that the coherence of the inter-chain hopping depends on the interplay between inter-chain hopping and inter-chain interaction terms, and not simply on the ground state spectral prop...

Bipedal hopping has evolved as a mode of terrestrial locomotion in relatively few mammalian species. Despite large differences in body size, habitat use, and having evolved independently, all species that use bipedal hopping have remarkably similar limb morphology and posture. In addition, these species all have relatively long tails, presumably to assist in maintaining stability. However, the ...

Kinematic and kinetic methods (sacral marker, reconstructed pelvis, segmental analysis, and force platform methods) have been used to calculate the vertical excursion of the center of mass (COM) during movement. In this study we compared the measurement of vertical COM displacement yielded by different methods during able-bodied subjects' hopping at different frequencies (varying between 1.2 an...

The general approach for the description of correlated hopping in the Dynamical Mean-Field Theory which is based on the expansion over electron hopping around the atomic limit is developed. It is formulated in terms of the local irreducible parts (cu-mulants) of Green's functions and allowed to calculate thermodynamical functions. As a limit case the Falicov–Kimball model with correlated hoppin...

Atomic motion and electronic structures of Pd–Ni–Cu–P bulk metallic glasses were investigated using P nuclear magnetic resonance. The hopping rate of P atoms was determined by the stimulated echo technique. Significant hopping was observed in all alloys well below the glass transition temperature. Increasing the Cu content to above 25 at. % increases P hopping significantly, consistent with the...

Frequency hopping is a central method in wireless communication, offering improved resistance to adversarial interference and interception attempts, and easy non-coordinated control in dynamic environments. In this paper, we introduce a new model that supports a rigorous study of frequency hopping in adversarial settings. We then propose new frequency hopping protocols that allow a sender-recei...

In this paper, we address the problem of designing time hopping codes for multiple access communication impulse radio systems. Time hopping techniques are first reviewed, and performance in terms of correlation properties and Power Spectral Density are given. A new family of time hopping codes is presented, and performance are derived. Finally, advantages and disadvantages of different time hop...

SUMMARY We propose multitone-hopping code-division multiple access (MH-CDMA) using a feedback-controlled hopping pattern (FCHP) (FCHP/MH-CDMA). In the FCHP/MH-CDMA, part of the filter coefficients of an adaptive finite-duration impulse response (FIR) filter receiver are fed back to a transmitter, in which they are used as an updated hopping pattern. Each chip of the updated hopping pattern cons...
