High-speed links which employ source synchronous clocking architectures have the ability to track correlated jitter between clock and data channels up to high frequencies. However, system timing margins are degraded by channel skew between clock and data signals and high-frequency loss. This paper describes how these key channel effects impact the jitter performance and influence the clocking a...

Conventional susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) uses both phase and magnitude data for the enhancement of venous vasculature and, thus, is subject to signal loss in regions with severe field inhomogeneity and in the peripheral regions of the brain in the minimum-intensity projection. The purpose of this study is to enhance the visibility of the venous vasculature and reduce the artifacts in ...

Counteracting geometrical attacks remains one of the most challenging problems in robust watermarking. In this paper, we resist rotation, scaling, and translation (RST) by constructing a kind of deformable pyramid transform (DPT) that is shift-invariant, steerable, and scalable. The DPT is extended from a closed-form polar-separable steerable pyramid transform (SPT). The radial component of the...

Disorder of size (polydispersity) and mass of discrete elements or particles in randomly structured media (e.g., granular matter such as soil) has numerous effects on the materials’ sound propagation characteristics. The influence of disorder on energy and momentum transport, the sound wave speed and its low-pass frequency-filtering characteristics is the subject of this study. The goal is unde...

The aim of the study is to demonstrate that some methods are more relevant for implementing the Real-Time Nearfield Acoustic Holography than others. First by focusing on the forward propagation problem, different approaches are compared to build the impulse response to be used. One of them in particular is computed by an inverse Fourier transform applied to the theoretical transfer function for...

We report on the reconstruction of absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of breast tissue in vivo of a patient with mastopathic disease. Distributions of times of flight of photons through the compressed breast were recorded by paraxial scanning. From data measured at four different source-detector offsets optical properties were reconstructed within the linear Rytov approximation by a...
