1 Furse, Cynthia M.Statistical comparison of capacity predictions for realistic MIMO channelsThe impact of antenna polarization on channel capacity is explored in multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems. An idealized polarization model involving branch power rations (BPR's) and channel cross-coupling is incorporated into channel-specific capacity calculations. Results are compared f...2007-01-01
2 Tasdizen, TolgaAutomatic markup of neural cell membranes using boosted decision stumpsTo better understand the central nervous system, neurobiologists need to reconstruct the underlying neural circuitry from electron microscopy images. One of the necessary tasks is to segment the individual neurons. For this purpose, we propose a supervised learning approach to detect the cell membra...2009
3 Furse, Cynthia M.Making a world of difference recruitment of undergraduate students at USUThis paper describes two creative methods that are used to recruit undergraduate students at Utah State University. The fmt is "Engineering State", a four day hands-on immersement in a wide array of engineering disciplines, and the second is a slide show called "Making a World of Difference - Women ...Student recruitment; Undergraduate recruitment; Engineering State1999
4 Mathews, V. JohnVector quantization of images using visual masking functionsABSTRACT This paper presents an image compression technique that incorporates visual masking functions in vector quantizer systems. Visual masking functions provide a description of the maximum amount of noise that can be present in an image, while remaining undetected when the image is viewed by ...1992
5 Mathews, V. JohnSubband vector quantization of images using hexagonal filter banksAbstract Results of psychophysical experiments on human vision conducted in the last three decades indicate that the eye performs a multichannel decomposition of the incident images. This paper presents a subband vector quantization algorithm that employs hexagonal filter banks. The hexagonal filte...1992
6 Harrison, Reid R.Low-power FM transmitter for use in neural recording applicationsWe present a low power FM transmitter for use in neural recording telemetry. The transmitter consists of a low noise biopotential amplifier and a voltage controlled oscillator used to transmit the amplified neural signals at a frequency of 433 MHz.

7 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.; Jones, Bryan W.Optimal-path approach for neural circuit reconstructionNeurobiologists are collecting large amounts of electron microscopy image data to gain a better understanding of neuron organization in the central nervous system. Image analysis plays an important role in extracting the connectivity present in these images; however, due to the large size of these ...2008
8 Harrison, Reid R.Micropower circuits for bidirectional wireless telemetry in neural recording applicationsState-of-the art neural recording systems require electronics allowing for transcutaneous, bidirectional data transfer. As these circuits will be implanted near the brain, they must be small and low power. We have developed micropower integrated circuits for recovering clock and data signals over ...Micropower circuits; Neural recording systems; Low-power CMOS circuits, RF telemetry; Transcutaneous data link; Transmitter2005-01-01
9 Tasdizen, TolgaWatershed merge forest classification for electron microscopy image stack segmentationAutomated electron microscopy (EM) image analysis techniques can be tremendously helpful for connectomics research. In this paper, we extend our previous work [1] and propose a fully automatic method to utilize inter-section information for intra-section neuron segmentation of EM image stacks. A wat...2013-01-01
10 Simpson, Jamesina J.A novel ELF radar for major oil depositsThis letter proposes a novel extremely low frequency (ELF) radar for major oil deposits. Using our recently developed whole-Earth electromagnetic wave propagation model based upon the finite-difference time-domain method, we have determined that detection of the radial (vertical) component of the sc...2006-01-01
11 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Radiative pair transitions in p-type ZnSe:Cu crystalsShallow levels with an ionization energy of 0.012 eV play an important role in the photoelectronic properties of p-type ZnSe:Cu crystals. These levels exhibit the characteristics of the higher-lying member of an imperfection pair involved in luminescence emission, as well as of a trap determining lo...Ionization energy; Luminescence emission; Crystals1968

Given data sets representing C objects to be stored in a database, and given a new data set for an object, determine the object in the database that is most like the object measured. We so...1997
13 Stevens, KennethSymbolic verification of timed asynchronous hardware protocolsCorrect interaction of asynchronous protocols re- quires verification. Timed asynchronous protocols add another layer of complexity to the verification challenge.

15 Mathews, V. JohnAn optimal design procedure for intraband vector quantized subband codingAbstTact- Subband coding with vector quantization is addressed in this paper. Forming the data vectors from both between and within the subbands is considered. The former of these two schemes is referred to as interband coding and the latter as intraband coding. Interband coder design is relatively ...1995
16 Stevens, KennethRelative timing based verification of timed circuits and systemsAggressive timed circuits, including synchronous and asynchronous self-resetting circuits, are particularly challenging to design and verify due to complicated timing constraints that must hold to ensure correct operation.
