Transformations on channel graphs

A channel graph is a directed acyclic graph with a unique source vertex and a unique sink vertex, in which all edges are partitioned into stages according to their distance from the source. The blocking probability of a channel graph is the probability that every source to sink path is blocked. A general transformation that never decreases the blocking probability is developed. This transformation leads to a short proof of a generalization of a theorem of K. Takagi (1971) and a theorem of F. R. K. Chung and F. K. Hwang (1978) in the case of the binomial model     

Blind Signal Processing： I -Fundamental Concepts

This is the Part I of a sequence of articles on Blind Signal Processing. Blind Signal Processing is an emerging area of research. Mathematically speaking, from the relation x = As, it is a problem of determining both A and s from x. A unique feature of this problem is the characterization of its indeterminacy, and find conditions so that the solution of the above equation is “unique“. Three main branches will be discussed in later articles: Blind Signals Separation, Blind Channel Identification, and Blind Identification of Medium with Multiple-Layer Structure.     

Code modulation of m-sequences

A family of binary sequences exists with the property that the cross-correlation function of each member with a reference m-sequence has a unique pattern of four peaks with equal offsets from a constant base level. The positive peak is position invariant and knowledge of the locations of the remaining three peaks, which are negative, identifies the sequence. A simple method for generating the sequences is given and an application in the form of a system for data transmission by code modulation of an m-sequence carrier is proposed.     

Optimum Preventive Maintenance Policies for a 2-Unit Redundant System

Optimum preventive maintenance policies are discussed to maximize the availability for a 2-unit standby redundant system. The Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the pointwise availability and the steady-state availability are derived by applying a unique modification of the regeneration point techniques under the assumptions that all the distributions are arbitrary. A theorem gives the optimum preventive maintenance time which is a unique and finite solution of the equation under certain conditions. A numerical example is presented.     

Experimental Study of the Plasma Cathode Electron Gun

The high-power microwave devices with plasma-filled have been unique properties. One of the major problems associated with plasma-filled microwave sources is that ions from the plasma drift toward the gun regions of the tube. This bombardment is particularly dangerous for the gun,where high-energy ion impacts can damage The cathode surface and degrade its electron emission capabilities. One of the techniques investigated to mitigate this issue is to replace the material cathode with plasma cathode. A unique plasma cathode electron gun are investigated in detail experimentally in this paper. The PCE-gun has been operated at pulser voltage up to 8KV,discharge current up to 166A,and pulse lengths of up to 60μs.

A decision procedure for finite decipherability and synchronizability of multivalued encodings

A multivalued encoding is a variable length coding system in which more than one codeword may correspond to each source symbol.

Recent progress in synthesis of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently received a great deal of attention due to their unique structures and fascinating properties, as well as their potential applications. 2D hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN), an insulator with excellent thermal stability, chemical inertness, and unique electronic and optical properties, and a band gap of 5.97 eV, is considered to be an ideal candidate for integration with other 2D materials. Nevertheless, the controllable growth of high-quality 2D h-BN is still a great challenge. A comprehensive overview of the progress that has been made in the synthesis of 2D h-BN is presented, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of various synthesis approaches. In addition, the electronic, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties, heterostructures, and related applications of 2D h-BN are discussed.

Minimal-memory bit-vector architecture for computational mathematical morphology using subspace projections.

Computational mathematical morphology (CMM) is a nonlinear filter representation particularly amenable to real-time image processing. A windowed, translation-invariant filter is represented by a set of less-than-or-equal decisions that are executed by a parallel arrangement of comparators. In the state-of-the-art implementation, each pixel value of a windowed observation is indexed into separate lookup tables to retrieve a set of bit vectors which are "anded" together to produce a bit vector with a unique nonzero bit. The position of that bit is used to look up a filter value in a table. The number of stored bit vectors is proportional to the number of image gray levels. An architecture for CMM is presented that uses a minimal number of bit vectors so that required memory is less sensitive to the number of gray levels. The number of pixels in the observation window is the dimension of the image space. In the proposed architecure, basis elements are projected to subspaces of the image space and only bit vectors unique to each subspace are stored. Each projection corresponds to a subspace partition. Filter memory is greatly reduced by using intermediate lookup tables to map observations to unique bit vectors. We investigate two possible projection strategies: A fixed, singleton architecture, in which each subspace is one dimension, and a minimal architecture, in which a large number of subspace projections are searched for, one with minimal memory. Insensitivity to the number of gray levels is demonstrated through simulated, random-image space tessellations. We also present memory savings in a digital photocopier application.     

Digital Single-Sideband Modulation

This paper considers digitized Weaver modulators for single-sideband modulation that can be used in radio communications and telemetering. A system of 12 such modulators to process 12 analog signals digitally is replaced by six multiplex modulators at the cost of additional computation at the input but with an overall reduction in computation time and a higher degree of accuracy. A unique digital filter is developed that can interpolate and output samples at multiples of the input sampling rate and exhibits a passband that occurs above the Nyquist frequency with no apparent distortion effects. A discussion of the Fortran simulation of a combined modulator-demodulator structure is included to verify the effectiveness of this scheme.
