Variable noise and information transmission

Cellular noise and information transmission.

The technological revolution in biological research, and in particular the use of molecular fluorescent labels, has allowed investigation of heterogeneity of cellular responses to stimuli on the single cell level. Computational, theoretical, and synthetic biology advances have allowed predicting and manipulating this heterogeneity with an exquisite precision previously reserved only for physica...

Noise, information transmission, and force variability.

This study was designed to test the hypothesis derived from information theory that increases in the variability of motor responses result from increases in perceptual-motor noise. Young adults maintained isometric force for extended periods at different levels of their maximum voluntary contraction. Force variability (SD) increased exponentially as a function of force level. However, the signa...

Modeling and Sensitivity Analysis of Full Toroidal Continuously Variable Transmission

Design of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Metal Pushing Belt and Variable Pulleys

Nowadays, automakers have invested in new technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their products. Giant automakers have taken an important step toward achieving this objective by designing continuously variable transmission systems (CVT) to continuously adapt the power of the engine with the external load according to the optimum efficiency curve of e...

Noise-assisted transmission of binary information: theory and experiment.

We study the response of a bistable vertical cavity surface emitting laser to an aperiodic binary signal, by adding a variable amount of noise. The resulting behavior is an example of aperiodic stochastic resonance, and in this work we give a detailed comparison between analytical and numerical results and accurate experimental measurements. We characterize the phenomenon by using different app...
