Two-dimensional (2D) cross-correlation algorithms are necessary to estimate local displacement vector information for strain imaging. However, most of the current two-dimensional cross-correlation algorithms were developed for linear array transducers. Although sector and phased array transducers are routinely used for clinical imaging of abdominal and cardiac applications, strain imaging for t...

Abstract— This work investigates the improvement of the active reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antenna using liquid crystal layers. The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveg...

‎In this paper we consider the special classes of Sonnenschein matrices‎, ‎namely the Karamata matrices $K[alpha,beta]=left(a_{n,k}right)$ with the entries‎ ‎[{a_{n,k}} = sumlimits_{v = 0}^k {left( begin{array}{l}‎ ‎n\‎ ‎v‎ ‎end{array} right){{left( {1‎ - ‎alpha‎ - ‎beta } right)}^v}{alpha ^{n‎ - ‎v}}left( begin{array}{l}‎ ‎n‎ + ‎k‎ - ‎v‎ - ‎1\‎ ‎,,,,,,,,,,k...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...

background: disorders of sex development (dsds) belong to uncommon pathologies and result from abnormalities during gonadal determination and differentiation. various gene mutations involved in gonadal determination and differentiation have been associated with gonadal dysgenesis. despite advances in exploration of genes and mechanisms involved in sex disorders, most children with severe 46,xy ...

Tissue arrays can evaluate molecular targets in high numbers of samples in parallel. Array construction presents technical difficulties and tissue arrayers are expensive, particularly for small and medium sized laboratories. This report describes a method for the construction of 36 sample arrays using widely available materials. A blunted 16 gauge needle for bone marrow aspiration was used to e...

In this paper two linear arrays including a linear 1×4 and a planar 2×2 of microstrip patch and half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity hybrid antenna are introduced and investigated. These are simply implemented using low cost single layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...

A robust algorithm is presented for labeling rows and columns in an irregular array. The algorithm is based on hierarchical pattern matching to a local lattice which is used as a template. Starting from the best local match, the pattern is expanded hierarchically to encompass the entire array. An application to labeling digitized images of an array of tissue sections mounted on a microscope sli...

An electrically-activated phantom for evaluating diffuse optical imaging systems has been designed based on an array of semiconductor diodes which are used to heat a thermochromic dye embedded in a solidified polyester resin with tissue-like optical properties. The array allows individual diodes to be addressed sequentially, thus simulating the movement of a small volume of contrasting optical ...
