Multiple Scattering And Attenuation Phenomena In Diffraction Imaging, Mani Azimi, A. C. Kak Feb 1985

Multiple Scattering And Attenuation Phenomena In Diffraction Imaging, Mani Azimi, A. C. Kak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The problem of cross sectional (tomographic) imaging bf objects with diffracting sources is addressed. Specifically the area of investigation is the effect of multiple scattering and attenuation phenomena in diffraction imaging. The validity of either the Born or the Rytov approximations is the basic assumption behind all the inverse scattering techniques in diffraction tomography. To test these techniques When these assumptions are not satisfied, we have developed a computational procedure for the calculation of the “ true” scattered fields from a multi-component object. Using this procedure, the performance of two available diffraction reconstruction techniques is examined in the presence of …


Imaging With Diffraction Tomography, Malcolm Slaney, A. C. Kak Feb 1985

Imaging With Diffraction Tomography, Malcolm Slaney, A. C. Kak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The problem of cross sectional (tomographic) imaging bf objects with diffracting sources is addressed. Specifically the area of investigation is the effect of multiple scattering and attenuation phenomena in diffraction imaging. This work reviews the theory and limits of first order diffraction tomography and studies iterative techniques that can be used to improve the quality of tomographic imaging with diffracting sources. Conventional (straight-ray) tomographic algorithms are not valid when used with acoustic or microwave energy. Thus more sophisticated algorithms are needed; First order diffraction tomography uses a linearized version of the wave equation and gives an especially simple reconstruction algorithm. …

Writing A Scientific Paper Prior To The Research, Charles F. Babbs, Martha M. Tacker Jan 1985

Writing A Scientific Paper Prior To The Research, Charles F. Babbs, Martha M. Tacker

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

The traditional approach to preparing a research report for publication is to begin writing after the study has been completed. We propose another approach- to write a "zeroth" draft before the study is begun. This approach helps to focus the investigator's attention during the planning stage on critical aspects of the study. The discipline of writing down the rationale, the methods, and the variety of possible outcomes and their significance helps to clarify the logic on which the study is based. If these are acceptable to all authors and colleagues in the zeroth draft, it is likely that the research …


Joseph S. Redding's Contributions To Cardiac Resuscitation, Sandra H. Ralston, Charles F. Babbs Jan 1985

Joseph S. Redding's Contributions To Cardiac Resuscitation, Sandra H. Ralston, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

The experimental studies conducted by the late Joseph S. Redding over the past three decades with his students and colleagues form the scientific basis for many aspects of present cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Redding's research was characterized by its elegance, simplicity, common-sense reasoning, and clinical relevance. Much of his work conducted in the 1960's anticipated with uncanny accuracy some of the most actively discussed issues in resuscitation today (Table 1). Most interesting are Redding's classic studies related to diastolic arterial pressure and myocardial perfusion during CPR, abdominal binding, acid-base status, and use of methoxamine versus other adrenergic drugs for cardiac resuscitation. …


Hierarchical Classification Of Multitemporal/Multispectral Scanner Data, D. F. Lozano-Garcia, Roger M. Hoffer Jan 1985

Hierarchical Classification Of Multitemporal/Multispectral Scanner Data, D. F. Lozano-Garcia, Roger M. Hoffer

LARS Technical Reports

Most techniques for computer classification of multispectral scanner data involve a "single-stage" approach in which every pixel in the data is classified in a single step, using a single set of training statistics and a single set of wave length bands. Hierarchical classifiers, on the other hand, involve a sequence of classification steps, each of which can involve a different wavelength band or combination of wavelength bands. In addition, at each step in the classification process only one spectral class or a specific group of spectral classes are separated from all other classes in the data. Since a relatively small …

Dynamic Studies Of Multiterminal Dc-Ac Systems, Alireza Hamzei-Nejad, C. M. Ong Dec 1984

Dynamic Studies Of Multiterminal Dc-Ac Systems, Alireza Hamzei-Nejad, C. M. Ong

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In transient stability programs that use a static dc network representation, the procedure to determine the control mode of operation and the solution of the multiterminal dc system is complex and time consuming. A systematic approach that is based on a linear programming formulation is presented in this thesis. The constraints incorporated in the LB formulation automatically ensure that the solution obtained is feasible. It is shown that the method is not only computationally efficient but also versatile in its ability to handle many of the common control characteristics, such as those of the constant angle (extinction and ignition), constant …


Final Report: Theory Of Advanced High Efficiency Concentrator Cells, Mark S. Lunstrom, R. J. Schwartz, C. M. Maziar, P. D. Demoulin Dec 1984

Final Report: Theory Of Advanced High Efficiency Concentrator Cells, Mark S. Lunstrom, R. J. Schwartz, C. M. Maziar, P. D. Demoulin

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The goal of this project was to begin -developing accurate, and ultimately predictive, device models for III-V concentrator cells. The project consisted of extending a one-dimensional numerical device model previously developed at Purdue to III-V solar cells. We also began verifying the accuracy of the code by comparing computed and measured solar cell characteristics. Gallium arsenide was selected because it is the most mature III-V technology and because GaAs solar cells have demonstrated high conversion efficiency [l,2,3]. The present device model should be useful in optimizing GaAs solar cells and forms a foundation that can be extended to other III-V …


Microprocessor- Oriented Algorithms For Data Communications, Veljko Milutinovic Dec 1984

Microprocessor- Oriented Algorithms For Data Communications, Veljko Milutinovic

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Data modem design has attracted a lot of scientific and commercial interest for more than three decades now. The field is important from a scientific point of view, since reliable data communications require very sophisticated solutions to many associated problems. From a commercial point of view its importance arises from the ever- rising needs for Computer networking and distributed processing in general. Modem algorithms are real-time in nature, so adequate technological support is important for modem design development. Advances in VLSI are opening new possibilities in this area and current trends toward integration of computing and communications are placing new …


Parallel Algorithms For Isolated And Connected Word Recognition, Mark Alan Yoder, Leah H. Jamieson Dec 1984

Parallel Algorithms For Isolated And Connected Word Recognition, Mark Alan Yoder, Leah H. Jamieson

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

For years researchers have worked toward finding a way to allow people to talk to machines in the same manner a person communicates to another person. This verbal man to machine interface, called speech recognition, can be grouped into three types: isolated word recognition, connected word recognition, and continuous speech recognition. Isolated word recognizers recognize single words with distinctive pauses before and after them. Continuous speech recognizers recognize speech spoken as one person speaks to another, continuously without pauses. Connected word recognition is an extension of isolated word recognition which recognizes groups of words spoken continuously. A group of words …
