Recent work demonstrated hardware-based online malware detection using only low-level features. This detector is envisioned as a first line of defense that prioritizes the application of more expensive and more accurate software detectors. Critical to such a framework is the detection performance of the hardware detector. In this paper, we explore the use of both specialized detectors and ensem...

The slow speed of neural transmission necessitates that cortical visual information from dynamic scenes will lag reality. The "perceiving the present" (PTP) hypothesis suggests that the visual system can mitigate the effect of such delays by spatially warping scenes to look as they will in ~100 ms from now (Changizi, 2001). We here show that the Hering illusion, in which straight lines appear b...

A very high resolution positron emission tomography (PET) scanner for small animal imaging based on the idea of inserting a ring of high-granularity solid-state detectors into a conventional PET scanner is under investigation. A particularly interesting configuration of this concept, which takes the form of a degenerate Compton camera, is shown capable of providing sub-millimeter resolution wit...

in this paper, we deal with the problem of adaptive coherent signal detection in gaussian interference (clutter plus noise) for surveillance pulse radars. some of the adaptive radar detectors exploit the ar model for clutter. most of these detectors have been obtained using the glr test. this test relies on the maximum likelihood estimation whose accuracy depends on the number of data. whereas,...

Thermoacoustic computed tomography (thermoacoustic CT) has thepotential to become a mayor non-invasive medical imaging method. Inthis paper we derive a general mathematical framework of a novel mea-suring setup introduced in [5]. It takes measuring data of line detectorsand offers better imaging resolution than conventional approaches basedon point-data approximation. We...

We demonstrate a novel concept for a position sensitive microchannel plate detector. This detector provides sub-millimeter spatial resolution by examining the signal induced on a wire harp by the electron cloud from a microchannel plate detector. Wires in the harp are efficiently read out by coupling them to a delay line.

introduction: during radiotherapy, high accuracy in the dose delivery is required because there is a strong  relationship between the absorbed dose, local tumor control and particularly the normal tissue damage. in  many institutions, in vivo dosimetry using diodes is performed to check the actual dose delivered. in general,  the uncertainty in the dose delivered should fall within  ± 5% of the...

A Silicon Drift Detector Front-End and a Smart Readout System different from a trivial zerosuppression is proposed. ON-LINE pre-processing, using a Fast VLSI dedicated Fuzzy Processor, reduces significantly acquisition data volume and hardware requirements.
