Evidence for bistability in the perception of motion and stationarity was obtained for a displaced dot-figure embedded in a background of randomly moving noise dots. In the temporal symmetry condition, the figure was presented for the same duration in its two locations; either figure motion or random motion was perceived, depending on the number of noise dots. In the temporal asymmetry conditio...

Avalanche photodiode detectors have and will continue to be used in many diverse applications such as laser range finders and photon correlation studies. This paper discusses APD structures, critical performance parameters and the excess noise factor.

This paper introduces a framework for event correlation in communication systems. We will show how the concept of a class in objectoriented methodology can be used to provide scalability to the framework. Events and system topology information are combined to generate the causal information needed for correlation. Geometric representation of codewords is used to overcome the noise factor. Tempo...

Under this heading we shall combine the noise work which heretofore has been reported under the titles "Microwave Electronics" and "Semiconductor Noise." The major reasons for the change stem from the unifying directions in which the research has led us. The unifying concepts that we have thus far encountered originate from the general terminal description of noisy linear networks, and the disc...

This paper presents a conceptually simple and resource efficient method for robust parameter design. The proposed method varies control factors according to an adaptive one-factor-at-a-time plan while varying noise factors using a two-level resolution III fractional factorial array. This method is compared with crossed arrays by analyzing a set of four case studies to which both approaches were...

Supplementary Fig. S2 Rotem analysis. (A) Representative human whole blood thromboelastogram (ROTEM) profiles. Venous blood was preincubated with a sub-threshold recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) alone (1.1 nmol/L), rtPA/DLF (1.1 nmol/L), NF alone, DLF alone and rpTF/NF. (B) In each condition, the rate of fibrinolysis was assessed by the reduction of the amplitude of the thromboel...

In this paper I propose an alternative factor model whose common factor follows a mean-plus-noise process. While the existing methods for factor models should be valid for this model, their performance may be misleading in small samples. Because the likelihood function of this model is not tractable, I estimate this model by Bayesian methods. When applied to U.S. macroeconomic time series, we f...

If G and H are vertex-transitive graphs, then the framing number fr(G,H) of G and H is defined as the minimum order of a graph every vertex of which belongs to an induced G and an induced H. This paper investigates fr(Cm, Cn) for m < n. We show first that fr(Cm, Cn) ≥ n+2 and determine when equality occurs. Thereafter we establish general lower and upper bounds which show that fr(Cm, Cn) is app...

A common choice to select λ so that a measure of noise performance is equal: a common choice is the noise figure (NF). However, this is only applicable when comparing algorithms with identical data. It is thus not suitable to compare across electrode positions or stimulation strategies (as illustrated in the example below). Noise Figure Distinguishability as a noise performance metric for EIT a...

A 65-nm CMOS receiver tailored for breast cancer diagnostic imaging is demonstrated for the first time. The receiver shows 31-dB conversion gain, NF dB, 28 dBm, IIP dBm and IIP dBm over a band from 1.75 to 15 GHz. A programmable injection-locked divider generates quadrature LO signals with a I/Q phase error over three octaves without requiring any calibration or tuning. The receiver shows a fli...
