This paper proposes an RST−invariant multi−bit watermarking system based on LPM and DFT. This system embeds the watermark in a rotation and translation invariant domain obtained by first acquiring log−polar mapped DFT (LPM−DFT) magnitudes of an image, and then taking the magnitude of the 1−dimensional DFT along the angular axis of this LPM−DFT magnitudes. Neither the original cover image nor a ...

A review of the literature about calculating the adsorption properties of arsenic onto mineral models using density functional theory (DFT) is presented. Furthermore, this work presents DFT results that show the effect of model charge, hydration, oxidation state, and DFT method on the structures and adsorption energies for As and As onto Fe-(oxyhydr)oxide cluster models. Calculated interatomic ...

The assessment of defibrillation (DFT) efficacy has long been the standard of care during defibrillator implantation. To ensure an acceptable DFT safety margin, early defibrillator systems frequently required that the shock polarity and the location, type, or number of electrodes had to be altered. Advances in defibrillator and lead technology have resulted in lower and more consistent DFT thre...

A major application of the FFT is fast convolution or fast ltering where the DFT of the signal is multiplied term-by-term by the DFT of the impulse (helps to be doing nite impulse response (FIR) ltering) and the time-domain output is obtained by taking the inverse DFT of that product. What is less well-known is the DFT can be calculated by convolution. There are several di erent approaches to t...

Since implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) were first introduced, defibrillator threshold (DFT) testing was considered an integral part of the implant procedure. Perform‐ ing DFT testing verifies the ability of the ICD in detecting and aborting the lethal arrhythmia it was designed to treat. The process has evolved with the development of the ICD’s and the expanding indications for th...

BACKGROUND The defibrillation threshold (DFT) may be affected by biphasic shock duration (BSD), electrode configuration, and capacitance. The upper limit of vulnerability (ULV) may be used to estimate the DFT. For different lead configurations and phase 2 capacitances, we investigated in 18 pigs whether the use of ULV may predict waveforms with lowest DFT. METHODS AND RESULTS -DFT and ULV wer...
