We have performed calculations to assess the phase shifts and efficiency of an adiabatic transfer process using orthogonal linearly and circularly polarized laser beams of the same frequency. By using this type of adiabatic transfer as the ‘optical’ elements of an atom interferometer, atoms can be kept in a magnetically insensitive state for the majority of the time, thus reducing the phase shi...

Aim: To generate and demodulate an amplitude shift keyed (ASK) signal and a binary FSK signal. Amplitude shift keying-ASK-in the context of digital communications is a modulation process, which imparts to a sinusoid two or more discrete amplitude levels. These are related to the number of levels adopted by the digital message. For a binary message sequence there are two levels, one of which is ...

Preoperative continuous-wave Doppler spectral analysis was used to generate two parameters, peak frequency in the internal carotid artery (fmax) and the ratio of peak frequencies in the internal and common carotid arteries (carotid index). These were compared with direct measurement of residual lumen diameter in pathologic specimens obtained from carotid endarterectomy in 37 patients. Doppler s...

the nmr spectra of azo dyes, 5-arylazobarbituric (5a-g), 5-arylazo-1,3-dimethylbarbituric(6a-g) and 5-arylazothiobarbituric acids (7a-g) were studied in dmso-d6 in differentconcentrations. an intramolecular hydrogen bond was observed and indicating that thehydrazone forms is mostly predominant. the peak of the hydrazone proton was severelybroadened and its chemical shift appeared at down field ...

A displacement-sensitive capacitive probe technique was used in the first turn of guinea pig cochleas to examine whether the motion of the basilar membrane includes a displacement component analogous to the dc receptor potentials of the hair cells. Such a "dc" component apparently exists. At a given location on the basilar membrane, its direction toward scala vestibuli (SV) or scala tympani (ST...

A novel mechanism of MRI contrast enhancement, based on the detection by a balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence of the proton resonance frequency shift induced by bulk magnetic susceptibility (BMS) contrast agents, was investigated. The potential for this contrast mechanism to image blood vessels was explored. The relaxation time and the frequency shift effects of gadolinium- a...
