Patients with muscular dystrophy were investigated with Macro EMG to study activity from whole individual motor units, and with Scanning EMG to study the distribution of activity within the motor unit. Macro motor unit potentials were normal or only slightly reduced in amplitude. In Scanning EMG the units had unchanged mean length compared with normal, but an uneven distribution of the activity...

Time-domain equalization is crucial in reducing state dimension in maximum likelihood sequence estimation, and inter-carrier and inter-symbol interference in 802.11a and ADSL multicarrier systems. A time-domain equalizer, or TEQ, which is a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, placed in cascade with the channel produces an effective impulse response of ν + 1 samples that is shorter than the ch...
