Radar technology was designed to increase public safety on sea and in the air. Today radars are used in many fields of application, such as airdefense, air-traffic-control, zone protection (in military bases, airports, industry), people search and others. Classic pulse radars are often being replaced by continuous wave radars. Unique features of continuous wave radars, such as the lack of ambig...

Time-continuous wavefunction collapse mechanisms not restricted to markovian approximation have been found only a few years ago, and have left many issues open. The results apply formally to the standard relativistic quantum-electrodynamics. I present a generalized Schrödinger equation driven by a certain complex stochastic £eld. The equation reproduces the exact dynamics of the interacting fer...

We present theoretical and experimental work on upconversion based mid-wavelength infrared detection using silicon detectors without the need for cryogenic cooling. We consider both multi-spectral imaging and point spectroscopy targeting several specific applications. OCIS codes: (190.7220) Upconversion; (300.6340) Spectroscopy, infrared; (100.2960) Image analysis;

In this paper, a wave decoder based on the general re-entrant network for continuous speech recognition is described. The decoder design is based on the concept of self-adjusting decoding graph in which the decoding network is expanded and released frame-synchronously. The fast network expansion and release are made possible by utilizing a novel dynamic network sca olding layer. The self-adjust...

When Ca2+ is released from internal stores in living cells, the resulting wave of increased concentration can travel without deformation (continuous propagation) or with burst-like behavior (saltatory propagation). We analyze the "fire-diffuse-fire" model in order to illuminate the differences between these two modes of propagation. We show that the Ca2+ release wave in immature Xenopus oocytes...

Given the sensitivity of current ground-based Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. Hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. While with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...

Automatic disorder recognition in speech can be very helpful for the therapist while monitoring therapy progress of the patients with disordered speech. In this article we focus on prolongations. We analyze the signal using Continuous Wavelet Transform with 18 bark scales, we divide the result into vectors (using windowing) and then we pass such vectors into Kohonen network. Quite large search ...

This paper describes and characterizes the electrowetting-induced movement of droplets in an immiscible medium. When an aqueous droplet undergoes electrowetting-induced motion in a continuous phase of olive oil, the droplet glides through the olive oil at a much higher velocity than is possible in the absence of oil and is able to travel greater than 10 times the electrode separation distance. ...

We have identiÐed a likely radio counterpart to the low-mass X-ray binary MXB 1730[335 (the Rapid Burster). The counterpart has shown 8.4 GHz radio on/o† behavior correlated with the X-ray on/o† behavior as observed by the RXT E/ASM during six VLA observations. The probability of an unrelated, randomly varying background source duplicating this behavior is 1%È3% depending on the correlation tim...
