An optimal design for an extra-low loss buried waveguide Y-branch splitter is presented over a broadband wavelength range from 1500~1600 nm. A tapered multimode waveguide section, earlier used to reduce the excess loss, is optimized when the light distribution at the end of the multimode waveguide section is matched to the profile of the symmetric supermode for the structure of the two branchin...

Analysis of common-azimuth migration for vertically layered media shows that downward continuing the data in a narrow strip around the zero crossline offset should yield a kinematically correct migration scheme. I introduce two migration methods that exploit the common-azimuth equations to define an optimal range of crossline-offset wavenumbers and thus to minimize the number of crossline offse...

Edges are important cues defining coherent auditory objects. As a model of auditory edges, sound on- and offset are particularly suitable to study their neural underpinnings because they contrast a specific physical input against no physical input. Change from silence to sound, that is onset, has extensively been studied and elicits transient neural responses bilaterally in auditory cortex. How...

This paper presents the modified integrator which we can use in the controlling scheme of an induction motor (IM). The modification tends to some advancement in direct torque control of induction motor. The undesirable variations which occur in the form of offset, gain error, etc can be eliminate by means of the involvement of the new integrator in the direct torque and flux control (DTFC) meth...

Yeshurun and Levy (2003) [Transient spatial attention degrades temporal resolution. Psychological Science, 14, 225 -231.] have suggested that visual attention enhances the activation of the parvocellular system and thus delays the perceived offset of a stimulus. We tested this assumption in a spatial cueing paradigm in which participants responded to stimulus offset. Consistent with this assump...

one of the limitations of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ofdm) in many applications is its sensitivity to frequency shifts, errors normally referred to as carrier frequency offset (cfo). although, this small offset is negligible in conventional single carrier communication systems, it is a severe problem in the ofdm systems. because, the carriers in ofdm are inherently closely spac...
