In this paper we introduce the concepts of a multimode multi-relational fuzzy network and a regular fuzzy equivalence on such a network, and provide procedures for computing the greatest regular fuzzy and crisp equivalences contained in a given tuple of fuzzy equivalences.

We investigate high brightness pumping of a multi-kW Yb fiber amplifier in a bi-directional pumping configuration. Each pump outputs 2 kW in a 200 μm, 0.2 NA multi-mode fiber. Gold-coated specialty gain fibers, with 17 m MFD and 5-dB/meter pump absorption, have been developed. The maximum fiber amplifier output power is 3.1 kW, limited by multi-mode instability, with 90% O-O efficiency 12 GHz ...

Background and Aims: Production of acoustic cavitation by sonication has been recently recommended as a targeted treatment. The experimental results from studies indicate that the activity of cavitation generated by bi- or multi-frequency ultrasound irradiation is higher than that caused by single frequency irradiation. In this study, effects dual (1 MHz and 40 kHz) and single frequency soni...

Coupled-mode and coupled-power theories are described for multi-core fiber design and analysis. First, in order to satisfy the law of power conservation, mode-coupling coefficients are redefined and then, closed-form power-coupling coefficients are derived based on exponential, Gaussian, and triangular autocorrelation functions. Using the coupled-mode and coupled-power theories, impacts of rand...

In parametric speech coding, the accuracy of parameter quantization has a significant effect on speech quality. In this paper, we present a flexible and high-fidelity multi-mode quantization approach that combines the beneficial features of predictive vector quantization and matrix quantization. As an example, the proposed technique is employed in quantization of the power component in a wavefo...
