In order to make use of analysis and low noise design techniques one requires a knowledge of the noise performance of circuit elements, circuits and complete systems in order to determine whether they meet the specifications or not. Also to judge the effort of noise decreasing procedures in circuits one need to be able to measure the noise level. If high precision noise measurement is required ...

In the smart grid, smart meters, and numerous control and monitoring applications employ bidirectional wireless communication, where security is a critical issue. In key management based encryption method for the smart grid, the Trusted Third Party (TTP), and links between the smart meter and the third party are assumed to be fully trusted and reliable. However, in wired/wireless medium, a man-...

Conventional applications of matched-field processing (MFP) use large aperture vertical arrays and low frequency signals. It is well known that MFP’s sensitivity to environmental mismatch is proportional to frequency. Thus, real-world application of MFP to mid-frequency signals, e.g., 800 3000 Hz, is generally regarded a very difficult problem. Using small aperture vertical arrays can also comp...

Power Frequency Spectral Analysis (PFSA) which evaluates the power of the frequency components at a selected interval, was applied in this preliminary study using a 5MHz Doppler continuous wave flow velocity meter and a modified Edwards Spectraview 500 analyzer. PFSA was used to study the common, internal and external carotid arteries of ten young adult control subjects and 31 patients with ang...

Milimeter Wave (mmWave) is a solution to overcome of frequency limitations in 5G technology implementations using high frequency carrier domain. This research discusses about mmWave frequency selection for 5G technology using empirical methods for indoor propagation model. Several mmWave frequencies are simulated on indoor office environment. Based on simulation with Indoor Hotspot (InH) placed...

This paper studies the effects of frequency, pre-strain and electrode types on the dielectric property of a commercially available and most widely used acrylic elastomer, VHB 4910. The acrylic VHB film is pre-stretched in biaxial directions with the help of an in-house developed biaxial stretching device. The stretched film has been sandwiched between two card board frames to prepare samples of...

Musical meters vary considerably across cultures, yet relatively little is known about how culture-specific experience influences metrical processing. In Experiment 1, we compared American and Indian listeners' synchronous tapping to slow sequences. Inter-tone intervals contained silence or to-be-ignored rhythms that were designed to induce a simple meter (familiar to Americans and Indians) or ...

A novel capsule pipeline transportation system using a linear synchronous motor, called Magplane MagPipe, is under development with the intention to replace trucks and railways for hauling materials from the mine to the rail head, power plant or processing plant with reduced operating cost and energy consumption. The initial demonstration of a MagPipe line in Inner Mongolia will be a 500 meter ...

Enculturation is known to shape the perception of meter in music but this is not explicitly accounted for by current cognitive models of meter perception. We hypothesize that the induction of meter is a result of predictive coding: interpreting onsets in a rhythm relative to a periodic meter facilitates prediction of future onsets. Such prediction, we hypothesize, is based on previous exposure ...

Automatic meter analysis aims to annotate a recording of a metered piece of music with its metrical structure. This analysis subsumes correct estimation of the type of meter, the tempo, and the alignment of the metrical structure with the music signal. Recently, Bayesian models have been successfully applied to several of meter analysis tasks, but depending on themusical context, meter analysis...
