A method is presented for automated segmentation of vessels in two-dimensional color images of the retina. This method can be used in computer analyses of retinal images, e.g., in automated screening ...

We report a novel three-segmented fiber-collimator using self-assembled fluorinated polymer lens and a beam expanding coreless silica fiber of 200-μm diameter spliced to single-mode optical fiber.

Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling can improve the bandwidth utilization. In this paper, we will provide a comprehensive survey on the topic. The history and the applications of FTN signaling are ...

This article summarizes an autonomous driving project by musculoskeletal humanoids. The musculoskeletal humanoid, which mimics the human body in detail, has redundant sensors and a flexible body ...

The performance of copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin film solar cell has been numerically simulated with different buffer and absorber layers thickness. The cell structure based on CIGS ...

SiC materials are currently metamorphosing from research and development into a market driven manufacturing product. SiC substrates are currently used as the base for a large fraction of the world ...

This paper describes a project to create a novel design and simulation tool for quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), namely QCADesigner. QCA logic and circuit designers require a rapid and accurate ...

Synchrophasor Standards have evolved since the introduction of the first one, IEEE Standard 1344, in 1995. IEEE Standard C37.118-2005 introduced measurement accuracy under steady state conditions as ...

String matching has sparked renewed research interest due to its usefulness for deep packet inspection in applications such as intrusion detection, virus scanning, and Internet content filtering.

Security of QKD is guaranteed by the quantum mechanics laws rather than unproven assumptions employed in computational cryptography. Unfortunately, the secret-key rates are way too low and ...

This paper reviews the extended Cauchy model and the four-parameter model for describing the wavelength and temperature effects of liquid crystal (LC) refractive indices. The refractive indices of ...

This paper presents a novel adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) sampling approach for learning from imbalanced data sets. The essential idea of ADASYN is to use a weighted distribution for different minority ...
