Mathews, V. John | Adaptive, quadratic preprocessing of document images for binarization | Abstract-This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for preprocessing document images prior to binarization in character recognition problems. Our method is similar in its approach to the blind adaptive equalization of binary communication channels. The adaptive filter utilizes a quadratic system mod... | 1998 | |

Normann, Richard A.; Shah, Maulik R. | Study of printed spiral coils for neuroprosthetic transcranial telemetry applications | We have explored the use of printed spiral coils (PSC's) for neuroprosthetic transcranial telemetry applications. We fabricated two-dimensional PSC's on a thin (25 microns) polyimide substrate using copper (35 microns) as a conducting material. All the coils had a fixed inner diameter of 1.0 cm.

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Taylor, P. Craig | Excitation energy dependence of photoinduced absorption in intrinsic a-Si:H | We have studied subgap absorption of intrinsic a-Si:H induced by below- and above-gap photoexcitation. We find very similar photoinduced subgap absorption spectra when excited with 2.4 eV or 1.2 eV light. Both spectra exhibit a power-law dependence on laser intensity ?T ~ 1a, where a is 0.5 and 0.7... | Intrinsic a-Si:H; Subgap absorption; Photoinduced absorption; Gap photoexcitation; Photomodulation; Electronic states | 1998 |
