Data–Over–Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) permit the addition of highspeed data transfer to an existing Cable TV (CATV) system. In this paper, simple transmission protocol is considered. We propose random slot multiple access algorithm for contentions resolution. In this algorithm, p-persistence value for each user is prepared for mini-slot selection, and also, mini-slot in each...

Autonomous communications systems often involve the use of separate solar cells and antennas, which necessitate a compromise in the utilization of the limited surface area available. These separate items may be combined,, provided that the antennas and solar cells are compatible. To show the compatibility of solar cells and antennas, the concept is used to create linearly polarized slot antenna...

This paper reports the experimental demonstration of a coiled coaxial cable resonator capable of meeting the critical coupling condition using a reduced number of coils relative to previously reported coiled resonators. By introducing a second slot along the length of the device, a two-slot coiled coaxial cable resonator was fabricated and critical coupling observed at 22 turns. An additional d...

This paper presents a lightweight closure-conversion method that is driven by the results of wholeprogram interprocedural flow, reachability, points-to, and escape analyses. The method has been implemented and evaluated as part of a complete Scheme compiler. When compared with a baseline closure-conversion method that does no optimization, as well as conventional closureconversion methods that ...

Attention-based encoder-decoder neural network models have recently shown promising results in machine translation and speech recognition. In this work, we propose an attention-based neural network model for joint intent detection and slot filling, both of which are critical steps for many speech understanding and dialog systems. Unlike in machine translation and speech recognition, alignment i...

Abstract Slot synchronization is essential to Ad Hoc networks based on Time Division Multiplex Access (TDMA). Since there is no central node in the network, it is necessary to use a decentralized algorithm for synchronizing the local time slot reference. In this paper, the convergence performance of the decentralized slot synchronization algorithm for wireless Ad Hoc networks is analyzed for th...

Scales representing ambient conditions, ability to navigate the slot floor, cleanliness, interior decor and seating comfort all produce a significant effect on slot servicescape satisfaction. Scales representing slot servicescape satisfaction and gaming value produce significant effects on overall satisfaction with the slot experience. Overall satisfaction with the slot experience produces a si...

A new broadband and dual band circular slot cut modified circular microstrip antenna is analyzed and proposed. The parametric study to analyze the effects of circular slot which realizes broader bandwidth is presented. The circular slot creates two additional resonant modes near the fundamental TM11 mode resonance frequency of the equivalent circular patch and yields bandwidth of 202 MHz (8%). ...

Slot-waveguides allow light to be guided and strongly confined inside a nanometer-scale region of low refractive index. Thus stronger light-analyte interaction can be obtained as compared to that achievable by a conventional waveguide, in which the propagating beam is confined to the high-refractive-index core of the waveguide. In addition, slot-waveguides can be fabricated by employing CMOS co...

This paper discusses how to design a Radial Line Slot Antenna (RLSA) whose waveguide is filled with high loss dielectric materials. We introduce a new design for the aperture slot coupling synthesis to restrain the dielectric losses and improve the antenna gain. Based on a newly defined slot coupling, a number of RLSAs with different sizes and loss factors are analyzed and their performances ar...
