Some Recent Advances and Applications of Infrared Detector Technology at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
نویسنده
چکیده
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has a long history in the development and application of infrared detector technology for the exploration of our planetary system. We will describe some recent applications of IR detector technology at JPL for ground based astronomy, the Earth Observing System, the Cassini Mission to Saturn and the other proposed planetary missions. The infrared detector technologies to be discussed include single element, multiplexed linear and staring arrays, using a wide variety of infrared sensing materials including InSb, InGaAs, HgCdTe (PV & PC) and SiAs.

ON THE FUZZY SET THEORY AND AGGREGATION FUNCTIONS: HISTORY AND SOME RECENT ADVANCES
Several fuzzy connectives, including those proposed by Lotfi Zadeh, can be seen as linear extensions of the Boolean connectives from the scale ${0,1}$ into the scale $[0,1]$. We discuss these extensions, in particular, we focus on the dualities arising from the Boolean dualities. These dualities allow to transfer the results from some particular class of extended Boolean functions, e.g., from c...
