DSNet: Deep and Shallow Feature Learning for Efficient Visual Tracking (2018)

In recent years, Discriminative Correlation Filter (DCF) based tracking methods have achieved great success in visual tracking. However, the multi-resolution convolutional feature maps trained from other tasks like image classification, cannot be naturally used in the conventional DCF formulation. Furthermore, these high-dimensional feature maps significantly increase the tracking complexity and thus limit the tracking speed. In this paper, we present a deep and shallow feature learning network, namely DSNet, to learn the multi-level same-resolution compressed (MSC) features for efficient online tracking, in an end-to-end offline manner. Specifically, the proposed DSNet compresses multi-level convolutional features to uniform spatial resolution features. The learned MSC features effectively encode both appearance and semantic information of objects in the same-resolution feature maps, thus enabling an elegant combination of the MSC features with any DCF-based methods. Additionally, a channel reliability measurement (CRM) method is presented to further refine the learned MSC features. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the MSC features learned from the proposed DSNet on two DCF tracking frameworks: the basic DCF framework and the continuous convolution operator framework. Extensive experiments show that the learned MSC features have the appealing advantage of allowing the equipped DCF-based tracking methods to perform favorably against the state-of-the-art methods while running at high frame rates.
CMOS Distributed Amplifiers With Extended Flat Bandwidth and Improved Input Matching Using Gate Line With Coupled Inductors (2009)

This paper presents a state-of-the-art distributed amplifier with coupled inductors in the gate line. The proposed coupled inductors, in conjunction with series-peaking inductors in cascode gain stages, provide bandwidth extension with flat gain response for the amplifier without any additional power consumption. On the other hand, gate-inductor coupling improves the input matching of the amplifier considerably. The detailed analysis and design methodology for the proposed distributed amplifier are presented. The new four-stage distributed amplifier, fabricated using an IBM 0.18-¿m complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor process, achieves a power gain of around 10 dB, input and output return losses better than 16 and 18 dB, respectively, a noise figure of 3.6-4.9 dB, and a power consumption of 21 mW over a 16-GHz flat 1-dB bandwidth. The measured IIP <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> of the amplifier is between 0.1 and 3.75 dBm across the entire band.
Encapsulación de extractos antioxidantes desde sub-productos agroindustriales: una revisión (2020)

Actualmente se generan grandes cantidades de subproductos agroindustriales como residuos, aun cuando pueden ser fuente importante de variados compuestos antioxidantes. Una de las formas de aprovechar esta funcionalidad es concentrar los antioxidantes mediante la elaboracin de extractos, siendo las "extracciones verdes", que usan solventes como agua o etanol, que por ser ms amigables con el medio ambiente y la salud humana, han sido las ms estudiadas en los ltimos aos. Sin embargo, uno de los principales problemas de reutilizar este tipo de compuestos bioactivos es mantener su estabilidad, debido a que luego de ser extrados desde su matriz biolgica son muy sensibles a distintas condiciones medioambientales y de almacenamiento. Una tecnologa que puede reducir la inestabilidad de los compuestos antioxidantes es la encapsulacin, la cual tambin reduce las alteraciones organolpticas que se pudieran producir cuando son incorporados en alimentos. Segn nuestro conocimiento no existen revisiones de encapsulacin de extractos de sub-productos agroindustriales (en donde se puede encontrar una gran variedad de compuestos antioxidantes) y la informacin existente se basa en compuestos antioxidantes especficos encapsulados. Por tanto, el objetivo de esta revisin fue recopilar informacin actualizada respecto a la encapsulacin de extractos antioxidantes obtenidos a partir de sub-
State of the art HOT performances for Sofradir II-VI extrinsic technologies (2016)

SOFRADIR is the worldwide leader on the cooled IR detector market for high-performance space, military and security applications thanks to a well mastered Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) technology, and recently thanks to the acquisition of III-V technology: InSb, InGaAs, and QWIP quantum detectors. Strong and continuous development efforts are deployed to deliver cutting edge products with improved performances in terms of spatial and thermal resolution, low excess noise and high operability. The actual trend in quantum IR detector development is the design of very small pixel, with high operating temperature. To maintain the detector performances and operability at high temperature, the number of pixels exhibiting extra noise like 1/f and RTS noise must be limited. This paper presents the recent developments achieved in Sofradir in terms of HOT MCT extrinsic p on n technology, blue MW band (cut-off wavelength of 4.2&mu;m at 150K) and extended MW band (cut-off wavelength of 5.3&mu;m at 130K). Comparison between optimized and non-optimized technology will be presented in terms of NETD temperature dependency, MTF, 1/f noise and the corresponding impact on RFPN (Residual Fixe Pattern Noise) and its stability up to 170K will be shown.
Electrically driven strain-induced deterministic single-photon emitters in a van der Waals heterostructure (2021)

Quantum confinement in atomically-thin TMDCs enables the realization of deterministic single-photon emitters. The position and polarization control of single photons have been achieved via local strain engineering using nanostructures. However, most existing TMDC-based emitters are operated by optical pumping, while the emission sites in electrically pumped emitters are uncontrolled. Here, we demonstrate electrically driven single-photon emitters located at the positions where strains are induced by atomic-force-microscope indentation on a van der Waals heterostructure consisting of graphene, hexagonal-boron nitride, and tungsten diselenide. The optical, electrical, and mechanical properties induced by the local strain gradient were systematically analyzed. In particular, single-photon emission was observed at the indentation sites at 4 K. The emission exhibits photon anti-bunching behavior with a g(2)(0) value of ~0.3, intensity saturation and a linearly cross-polarized doublet. This robust spatial control of electrically driven single-photon emitters will pave the way for the practical implementation of integrated quantum light sources.
Cell-free translation of immunoglobulin messenger RNA from MOPC-315 plasmacytoma and MOPC-315 NR, a variant synthesizing only light chain. (1975)

Total poly(A)-containing mRNA was isolated from the MOPC-315 and MOPC-315 NR plasmacytomas. The RNA was further fractionated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-sucrose gradients. The MOPC-315 mRNA fractions directed the synthesis of both the heavy chain and light chain precursor of the MOPC-315 IgA protein in a cell-free extract of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. None of the MOPC-315 NR mRNA fractions tested programmed the synthesis of the heavy chain in this system. Analysis of cell-free products by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by immunoprecipitation demonstrated that no translatable heavy chain mRNA could be extracted from the MOPC-315 NR variant plasmacytoma.
Steroid and thyroid hormone profiles following a single injection of partly purified salmon gonadotropin or GnRH analogues in male and female sea lamprey (1985)

The effects of exogenous administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues or of a partly purified salmon gonadotropin extract (GTH) on the duration of steroid and thyroid hormone levels were determined in female and male sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, tested under differing temperature and reproductive status. Plasma estradiol levels, but not androgens, were significantly elevated in response to the GnRH analogues or GTH injection compared to controls in female and male lampreys. Higher temperature and/or advance in time of maturation appeared to be inversely related to plasma estradiol levels. These data provide further evidence of hypothalamic control over reproductive function in lampreys. Plasma thyroxine was significantly elevated after female lampreys were treated with GTH, GnRHa (10 micrograms/lamprey) or GnRHa (1 microgram/lamprey) compared to controls. The present study is the first to demonstrate that the GnRH analogue stimulated in some way the pituitary-thyroid axis. These data suggest that a GnRH activity may activate both gonado- and thyrotropic secretion or that the endogenous hormone may itself have both functions in one of the most primitive vertebrates, the sea lamprey.
Nanoscale resolution scanning thermal microscopy with thermally conductive nanowire probes (2013)

Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) - a type of scanning probe microscopy that allows mapping thermal transport and temperatures in nanoscale devices, is becoming a key approach that may help to resolve heat dissipation problems in modern processors and develop new thermoelectric materials. Unfortunately, performance of current SThM implementations in measurement of high thermal conductivity materials continues to me limited. The reason for these limitations is two-fold - first, SThM measurements of high thermal conductivity materials need adequate high thermal conductivity of the probe apex, and secondly, the quality of thermal contact between the probe and the sample becomes strongly affected by the nanoscale surface corrugations of the studied sample. In this paper we develop analytical models of the SThM approach that can tackle these complex problems - by exploring high thermal conductivity nanowires as a tip apex, and exploring contact resistance between the SThM probe and studied surface, the latter becoming particularly important when both tip and surface have high thermal conductivities. We develop analytical model supported by the finite element analysis simulations and by the experimental tests of SThM prototype using carbon nanotube (CNT) at the tip apex as a heat conducting nanowire. These results elucidate vital relationships between the performance of the probe in SThM from one side and thermal conductivity, geometry of the probe and its components from the other, providing pathway for overcoming current limitations of SThM.
<title>Optimum decoding and detection of a multiplicative amplitude-encoded watermark</title> (2002)

The aim of this paper is to present a novel approach to the decoding and the detection of multibit, multiplicative, watermarks embedded in the frequency domain. Watermark payload is conveyed by amplitude modulating a pseudo-random sequence, thus resembling conventional DS spread spectrum techniques. As opposed to conventional communication systems, though, the watermark is embedded within the host DFT coefficients by using a multiplicative rule. The watermark decoding technique presented in the paper is an optimum one, in that it minimizes the bit error probability. The problem of watermark presence assessment, which is often underestimated by state-of-the-art research on multibit watermarking, is addressed too, and the optimum detection rule derived according to the Neyman-Pearson criterion. Experimental results are shown both to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical analysis and to highlight the good performance of the proposed system.
Detecting Experiences from Weblogs (2010)

Weblogs are a source of human activity knowledge comprising valuable information such as facts, opinions and personal experiences. In this paper, we propose a method for mining personal experiences from a large set of weblogs. We define experience as knowledge embedded in a collection of activities or events which an individual or group has actually undergone. Based on an observation that experience-revealing sentences have a certain linguistic style, we formulate the problem of detecting experience as a classification task using various features including tense, mood, aspect, modality, experiencer, and verb classes. We also present an activity verb lexicon construction method based on theories of lexical semantics. Our results demonstrate that the activity verb lexicon plays a pivotal role among selected features in the classification performance and shows that our proposed method outperforms the baseline significantly. 1
GaAs Surface Passivation for Device Applications. (1981)

Abstract : Three new MBE grown samples of graded Al(1-x)Ga(x)As on GaAs (100) have been prepared and characterized in an effort to develop a practical dielectric for GaAs surface passivation. In addition a systematic C-V study of a previously grown MBE structure as a function of oxidation time was carried out. In all cases, the thermal oxide produced on these samples appears to have excessive leakage which may be the cause for the absence of any observed inversion. An analysis of previously published results on thermally oxidized MBE grown graded layers of Al(1-x)Ga(x)As on GaAs suggests that these results may not be completely understood. Current results suggest that other insulators should be investigated as possible substitutes for the thermally grown oxides. Several device structures involving deposited SiO(x) on GaAs (100) surfaces of known composition did not produce satisfactory C-V results from a passivation criteria. A novel photochemical process was developed to deposit nearly stoichiometric SiO2 on GaAs surfaces at room temperature. Several methods of depositing Al oxides were investigated; Al deposition in the presence of an O2 plasma discharge was found to produce relatively thick layers of an intermediate Al oxide. (Author)

<title>NETEX Task 1: a study of the effect of ultrawideband (UWB) emitters on existing narrowband military receivers</title> (2003)

The goal of the DARPA NETEX program is to create a wireless networking technology for the military user that enables robust connectivity in harsh environments and support its integration into new and emerging sensor and communication systems. Phase 1 resulted in a thorough understanding of the effects of UWB system operation on existing military spectrum users based on modeling, simulation, and measurements. DARPA procured UWB emitters and broadband antennas to use as interference sources and contracted with the NAWC AD to provide candidate victim systems from the existing US inventory for testing. Testing was conducted on thirteen systems from October 2002 through March 2003. The purpose of this paper is to describe the results of these tests. It will provide a brief definition of UWB emissions as described by the US FCC and describe the generic UWB emitter used for these tests. It will then provide a brief overview of the general test plan and explain how it was adapted to the various systems tested. It will then provide a discussion of the results as they apply to the purpose of the NETEX program. Finally, the paper will look at where NETEX is going after Task 1.
1-Benzyl-3,5-bis(4-chlorobenzylidene)piperidin-4-one (2011)

The title compound, C(26)H(21)Cl(2)NO, crystallizes with two symmetry-independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In both mol-ecules, the central heterocyclic ring adopts a sofa conformation. The dihedral angles between the planar part of this central heterocyclic ring [maximum deviations of 0.011 (1) and 0.036 (1) Å in mol-ecules A and B, respectively] and the two almost planar [maximum deviations of 0.020 (1) and 0.008 (1) Å in A and 0.007 (1) and 0.011 (1) in B] side-chain fragments that include the aromatic ring and bridging atoms are 20.1 (1) and 31.2 (1)° in mol-ecule A, and 26.4 (1) and 19.6 (1)° in mol-ecule B. The dihedral angles between the planar part of the heterocyclic ring and the benzyl substituent are 79.7 (1) and 53.2 (1)° in mol-ecules A and B, respectively. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the two independent mol-ecules into dimers.
Synthesis of Novel Epoxy Resins by Radical Copolymerization of Various Vinyl Ethers having an Epoxy Group with N-Phenylmaleimide and Properties of Their Cured Resins (2020)

To develop novel epoxy resins having both high adhesion and excellent heat resistance, radical copolymerizations of 4-vinyloxybutyl glycidyl ether (VBGE) or 2-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether (VEEGE) with N-phenylmaleimide (NPMI), in addition to copolymerization of 2-vinyloxyethyl glycidyl ether (VEGE) with NPMI, which was reported in our previous study, were carried out. The effects of flexibility of the central chain unit of epoxy-containing vinyl ethers (VEs) on the thermal, mechanical, and adhesive properties of the obtained copolymers were investigated. These radical copolymerizations using AIBN as an initiator in benzene at 60 ̊C afforded copolymers having number-average molecular weights of 91,000 to 161,000 in high yield. 1H NMR analysis showed that the structure of the obtained copolymers consisted of VBGE unit or VEEGE unit and NPMI unit. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the copolymers depended on the composition of the copolymers and decreased as the flexibility of the pendant moiety of VE units increased. The thermal decomposition temperature (Td) of the obtained copolymers was higher than 300 ̊C, indicating their high heat resistance. Tensile shear adhesion strength and tensile strength of the cured copolymers (epoxy content: 2.52~2.63 mmol/g) obtained by curing reaction with polyfunctional aromatic amines were measured. Tensile shear adhesion strength was 1.8 to 4.6 N/mm2 and tensile strength was 21 to 28 MPa, which was found to depend on the flexibility of the pendant moieties of the VE units in the copolymer.

Circuit and Modeling Solutions for High-Speed Chip-to-Chip Communication (2007)

This dissertation presents methods for modeling and mitigating voltage noise and timing jitter across high-speed chip-to-chip interconnects. Channel equalization and associated tuning schemes have been developed to target the distinct characteristics and signal degradation exhibited in the clock and data signals of multi-Gigabit/second digital communication links. Multiple methods for generating realistically degraded signals for the purpose of simulation are also presented and used to verify the proposed equalization and filtering topologies. Specifically, a new technique for modeling high-speed jittery clocks in the frequency domain is presented and shown to reduce transient simulation time and memory requirements, while simultaneously improving the timing resolution and accuracy of the simulation by minimizing the dependence on the transient simulation time-step. The technique is further developed to provide unprecedented control over the timing characteristics of the generated signals, and is then extended to the generation of random data signals with definable jitter statistics. Through these techniques,realistic clock and data waveforms are constructible, providing for the visualization of the combined effects of voltage and timing degradation, while at the same time tracking the phase relationship between the clock and data signals as they pass across their respective channels and through the receiving circuitry of the communication link. New methods for the automated tuning of second-order continuous-time channel equalizers are proposed based on the simulated or measured single pulse and double pulse responses of the transmission channel. Using only one degree of freedom, the methods target the reduction of inter-symbol interference (ISI) as identified in the single and double pulses. Through tuning either the circuit quality factor (Q), the peaking frequency, or the frequency zero, the methods are shown to adapt to a variety of channel lengths and datarates from the same original equalizer transfer function, implying a good degree of generality, while offering a simple, yet effective, method for ISI reduction. Finally, the design of an active 5 Gigahertz (GHz) bandpass filter, employed for high-speed clock conditioning, is presented and shown to address both random and deterministic components of the clock signal degradation. The bandpass transfer function is achieved through a combination of AC coupling and a resonant LC tank consisting of on-chip interleaved spiral inductors and a tunable capacitor array. Through adjusting the load capacitance in parallel with the inductors, the center frequency of the filter is tunable over a range of nearly 5GHz. The design targets a supply voltage of 1.2 volts and draws approximately 5.7 milliamps of current.
Sizing of energy storage for microgrids (2012)

This paper presents a new method based on the cost benefit analysis for optimal sizing of an energy storage system in a microgrid (MG). The unit commitment problem with spinning reserve for MG is considered in this method. Time series and feed-forward neural network techniques are used for forecasting the wind speed and solar radiations respectively and the forecasting errors are also considered in this paper. Two mathematical models have been built for both the islanded and grid-connected modes of MGs. The main problem is formulated as a mixed linear integer problem (MLIP), which is solved in AMPL (A Modeling Language for Mathematical Programming). The effectiveness of the approach is validated by case studies where the optimal system energy storage ratings for the islanded and grid-connected MGs are determined. Quantitative results show that the optimal size of BESS exists and differs for both the grid-connected and islanded MGs in this paper.
