Medical image segmentation based on non-parametric mixture models with spatial information

Because of too much dependence on prior assumptions, parametric estimation methods using finite mixture models are sensitive to noise in image segmentation. In this study, we developed a new medical image segmentation method based on non-parametric mixture models with spatial information. First, we designed the non-parametric image mixture models based on the cosine orthogonal sequence and defined the spatial information functions to obtain the spatial neighborhood information. Second, we calculated the orthogonal polynomial coefficients and the mixing ratio of the models using expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, to classify the images by Bayesian Principle. This method can effectively overcome the problem of model mismatch, restrain noise, and keep the edge property well. In comparison with other methods, our method appears to have a better performance in the segmentation of simulated brain images and computed tomography (CT) images.

CORDIC-Based Unified Architectures for Computation of DCT/IDCT/DST/IDST

In this paper, CORDIC (coordinate rotation digital computer)-based Cooley-Tukey fast Fourier transform (FFT)-like algorithms for power-of-two point discrete cosine transform/discrete sine transform/inverse discrete cosine transform/inverse discrete sine transform are proposed and their corresponding unified architectures are developed by fully reusing the unique two basic processing elements. The proposed algorithms have some distinguished advantages, such as FFT-like regular data flow, unique post-scaling factor, and arithmetic-sequence rotation angles. The developed unified architectures can compute four different transforms by simple routing the data flow according to the specific transform without feeding different transform coefficients or different transform kernels. The unfolding technique is used to overcome the problem of difficult to realize pipeline that occur in iterative CORDIC algorithms. Compared to existing unified architectures, the proposed architectures have a superior performance in terms of hardware complexity, control complexity, throughput, scalability, modularity, and pipelinability.     

Large S-section-ring-cavity diode lasers: directional switching, electrical diagnostics, and mode beating spectra

Semiconductor lasers with monolithically integrated ring cavities exceeding 1 cm in perimeter were fabricated and characterized optically and electrically. Directional switching was observed, influenced by S-section seeding of unidirectional operation. The lasing threshold was identified by differential current-voltage measurements, which are also shown to be useful in monitoring directional switching. Mode beating was observed at three radio-frequency bands: 7.6, 15.2, and 22.9 GHz.     

Improved voltage clamping scheme for ZVS PWM three-level converter

This paper proposes an improved zero-voltage-switching pulsewidth-modulation (ZVS PWM) three-level converter, which is improved from the original ZVS PWM three-level converter by merely exchanging the position of the resonant inductance and the transformer, such that the transformer is connected with the lagging switches. The improved converter has several advantages over the original, e.g., the clamping diodes conduct only once in a switching period, and the resonant inductance current is smaller in zero state, leading to a higher efficiency and reduced duty-cycle loss. A blocking capacitor is usually introduced to the primary side to prevent the transformer from saturating. This paper analyzes the effects of the blocking capacitor in different positions, and a best scheme is determined. A 2.5-kW prototype converter verifies the effectiveness of the improved converter and the best scheme for the blocking capacitor.

Electric Potential in a Dielectric Sphere Head Produced by a Time-Harmonic Equivalent Current Dipole

A time-harmonic equivalent current dipole model is proposed to simulate EEG source which deals with the problem concerning the capacitance effect. The expressions of potentials in both homogeneous infinite dielectric medium and dielectric sphere on the electroquasistatic condition are presented. The potential in a 3-layer inhomogeneous spherical head is computed by using this model. The influences on potential produced by time-harmonic character and permittivity are discussed. The results show that potentials in dielectric sphere are affected by frequency and permittivity.
