An optimal stereo sequence needs to be rectified in order to avoid vertical disparities and similar image distortions. However, due to imperfect stereo rigs, vertical disparities occur mainly due to a mechanical misalignment of the cameras. Several rectification methods are known, most of them are based on a strong calibration. However, calibration data is often not provided, such that the rect...

Abstract. This paper mainly describes the rectification method of digital airborne image distortion. First, according to the digital sensor model, the mathematical model of airborne image is built up for processing the geometrical data of image, which is also the key for digital rectification. Then, the principle of digital rectification is explained through discussing the direct method and the...

Polyamines cause inward rectification of (Kir) K+ channels, but the mechanism is controversial. We employed scanning mutagenesis of Kir6.2, and a structural series of blocking diamines, to combinatorially examine the role of both channel and blocker charges. We find that introduced glutamates at any pore-facing residue in the inner cavity, up to and including the entrance to the selectivity fil...

Herein we report a theoretical study of diode-like behavior of negatively charged (e.g., glass or silica) nanopores at different potential scan rates (1-1000 V·s(-1)). Finite element simulations were used to determine current-voltage characteristics of conical nanopores at various electrolyte concentrations. This study demonstrates that significant changes in rectification behavior can be obser...

Abstract Rectification of tilting ratchets is investigated, going beyond the well-studied over-damped regime. The negative friction Langevin dynamics technique is employed to evaluate rectification coefficient such as that for the d.c. voltage of a SQUID rocking ratchet. Numerical results for rectification coefficient in a wide range of temperatures show that variation in the value of damping p...

Synchronous rectification in a high-performance converter design is essential for low-voltage and high-current applications because significant efficiency and power density improvements can be achieved by replacing Schottky rectification with synchronous rectification MOSFETs. Many critical parameters for synchronous rectification MOSFETs and even parasitic components in devices and printed cir...

We show both theoretically and experimentally that the ion-selectivity of a conic nanopore, as defined by a normalized density of the surface charge, significantly affects ion current rectification across the pore. For weakly selective negatively charged pores, intra-pore ion transport controls the current and internal ion enrichment/depletion at positive/reverse biased voltage (current enters/...

Inward rectifier K+ channels mediate the K+ conductance at resting potential in many types of cell. Since these K+ channels do not pass outward currents (inward rectification) when the cell membrane is depolarized beyond a trigger threshold, they play an important role in controlling excitability. Both a highly voltage-dependent block by intracellular Mg2+ and an endogenous gating process are p...

Molecular rectification is a particularly attractive phenomenon to examine in studying structure-property relationships in charge transport across molecular junctions, since the tunneling currents across the same molecular junction are measured, with only a change in the sign of the bias, with the same electrodes, molecule(s), and contacts. This type of experiment minimizes the complexities ari...
