Characteristic polarization state theory is restudied for the symmetric coherent Sinclair scattering matrix case. First, the geometric relations of the characteristic polarization states on the Poincaré sphere are derived. Based on these relations, simple formulas are given for all of the characteristic polarization states of this Sinclair matrix in Stokes vector form. From the formulation, it ...

We estimate the internal and external parameters of the camera, and simultaneously the distortion S parameters. Our aim is the selection of the best distortion model, using stiatistical test for the importance of distortion parameters. Also we examine the accuracy in camera parameter estimation and 30 reconstruction, in relation with the noise in the image. We answer the question “until which l...

A geometrical argument is outlined to show the (already known) instability of an inflected liquid bridge between parallel planes in the case of equal contact angles. In contrast to the behavior of liquid bridges between parallel planes, it is shown that a liquid bridge between spheres exists which is stable and has two inflections. Along the way, a result relating stability and dH/dV for a fami...

This paper is to review important device parameters as the figures of merit (FOM) to understand the device characteristics for analog/RF applications. These FOM should be characterized and evaluated in technology development and model generation for analog/RF technologies. This paper has tried to show these FOM with both measured data and model simulation to help both technology developers and ...

We present a parametric method to automatically identify people in monocular low-resolution video by estimating the height and stride parameters of their gait. Stride parameters (stride length and cadence) are functions of body height, weight, and gender. Previous work has demonstrated effective use of these biometrics for identification and verification of people. In this paper, we show that p...

Inferring internal scattering parameters for general, heterogeneous materials, remains a challenging inverse problem. Its difficulty arises from the complex way in which scattering materials interact with light, as well as the very high dimensionality of the material space implied by heterogeneity. The recent emergence of diverse computational imaging techniques, together with the widespread av...

A free gait algorithm is proposed utilizing a new method of gait generation called primary/secondary gait. The primary gait is a fixed sequence of leg transfers with modified legend kinematic limits according to the obstacle presence, while the secondary gait is a flexible gait which is generated to adjust the leg-end position. The primary gait is generated considering the following four constr...

Abundance calculations for the p-nuclei involve an extended network of about 20,000 nuclear reactions of almost 2,000 nuclei. These rates are calculated with the statistical Hauser Feshbach Model (HF-Model). Elastic scattering experimental data provides a test for the global parameterizations of optical potentials that are used in these statistical model calculations. Recent experiments suggest...
