Attention to a location in a visual scene affects neuronal responses in visual cortical areas in a retinotopically specific manner. Optical imaging studies have revealed that cortical responses consist of two components of different sizes: the stimulus-nonspecific global signal and the stimulus-specific mapping signal (domain activity). It remains unclear whether either or both of these compone...

A methodology for automated analysis of print quality in inkjet printing has been developed and tested on 32 commercially available media. The methodology is based on an understanding of the phenomenology of ink-media interactions and their impact on print quality and user perception. The automated print quality analysis system described has a comprehensive set of built-in tools for quantifying...

hydrogenation of oils might be considered as the largest reaction in the edible oil industry. the reaction consists of the addition of hydrogen at the double bounds of fatty acids. although for some reasons this might be considered a desirable reaction but for some others it might create problems in the food and nutrition chain circle due to the formation of saturated and trans fatty acids. soy...

A comparison of human gaze patterns on illusions before and after a simple color manipulation is presented. The optical illusions used include Fraser’s illusion, Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s Rotating Snakes, and the Necker cube. All of these images were then modified in an attempt to render the illusion non-illusory. The images are then shown to 8 participants, split into two groups of 4. Each group will...

All-optical modulation of a spiropyran-based device, integrating the transmittance switching (absorption) and wavelength modulation (emission) of visible light frequency induced by alternating UV/visible light irradiation is demonstrated. As an alternative to conventional organic transistors, all-optical devices based on SP-PCL have potential utility as single molecular transistors for optical ...

Adaptive digital modulation in the optical domain is performed using an integrated optical modulator with a high symbol rate of 10 Gbaud. The optical digital-to-analogue conversion technique that employs an optical IQ modulator and a dual-polarization quadrature-phase-shift-keying (DP-QPSK) modulator is applicable to binary PSK, QPSK, and 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation. Analogue modulat...
