Palmisano et al (2000 Perception 29 57-67) found that adding coherent perspective jitter to constant-velocity radial flow improved visually induced illusions of self-motion (vection). This was a surprising finding, because unlike pure radial flow, this jittering radial flow should have generated sustained visual--vestibular conflicts--previously thought to always reduce/impair vection. We attem...

ABSTRACT Recent CHIME/FRB observations of the periodic repeating fast radio bursts (FRB) 180916B have produced a homogeneous sample 44 bursts. These permit redetermination modulation period and phase window, in agreement with earlier results. If periodicity results from precession an accretion disc, analogy those Her X-1, SS 433, many other superorbital periods, width observable window indicate...

What is the relationship between the temporal jitter in the arrival times of individual synaptic inputs to a neuron and the resultant jitter in its output spike? We report that the rise time of firing rates of cells in striate and extrastriate visual cortex in the macaque monkey remain equally sharp at different stages of processing. Furthermore, as observed by others, multiunit recordings from...

Due to the isochronous nature of multimedia data streams, they require special handling by the underlying data network to provide guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). For pre-orchestrated multimedia documents, the important QOS parameters are bandwidth, jitter and reliability. A data network may employ a large number of service disciplines that provide guaranteed QoS, such as PGPS, SCFQ, VC, WF...

This paper analyses the impact of jitter when applied to route discovery in reactive (on-demand) routing protocols. In multi-hop non-synchronized wireless networks, jitter--a small, random variation in the timing of message emission--is commonly employed, as a means to avoid collisions of simultaneous transmissions by adjacent routers over the same channel. In a reactive routing protocol for se...

The TTCrx mezzanine card was installed on the Clock and Control Board [2] and connected to a TTCvx module via a 100 m optical cable. The TTCvx provided the 40.00 Mhz clock source for the TTCvi module. Measurements were conducted while repeatedly transmitting two broadcast (BC) commands over channel B and L1 Accept over channel A (case 1) and then again without the BC commands / L1 Accepts (case...

It is well known that timing jitter can degrade the bit error rate (BER) of receivers that recover clock information from the input data. However, timing jitter can also result in an indefinite increase in the settling time of clock recovery circuits at the receivers, particularly in low swing mesochronous systems. Mesochronous clock retiming circuits are required in repeaterless low swing on-c...

The new lightwave long-haul transmission systems typically use surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filters for timing recovery, in place of the phase-locked loops favored in slower systems. We report here analytical studies of jitter phenomena allowed by two kinds of filter ripple. The ripple is capable of causing jitter to accumulate exponentially with the number of regenerators N in a repeatered line...
