A Comparative Analysis Of Multichannel Data Acquisition Systems For Quality Assurance In External Beam Radiation Therapy, Iolanda Fuduli, Claudiu Porumb, Anthony Espinoza, Abdullah Aldosari, Martin Carolan, Michael Lf Lerch, Peter E. Metcalfe, Anatoly Rosenfeld, Marco Petasecca Jan 2015

A Comparative Analysis Of Multichannel Data Acquisition Systems For Quality Assurance In External Beam Radiation Therapy, Iolanda Fuduli, Claudiu Porumb, Anthony Espinoza, Abdullah Aldosari, Martin Carolan, Michael Lf Lerch, Peter E. Metcalfe, Anatoly Rosenfeld, Marco Petasecca

Anthony A Espinoza Mr

The paper presents a comparative study performed by the Centre of Medical Radiation Physics (CMRP) on three multichannel Data Acquisition Systems (DAQ) based on different analogue front-ends to suit a wide range of radiotherapy applications. The three front-ends are: a charge-to-frequency converter developed by INFN Torino, an electrometer and a charge-to-digital converter (both commercial devices from Texas Instruments). For the first two (named DAQ A and B), the CMRP has designed the read-out systems whilst the third one (DAQ C) comes with its own evaluation board. For the purpose of the characterization DAQ A and DAQ B have been equipped …


Data Driven Encoding Of Structures And Link Predictions In Large Xml Document Collections, M Hagenbuchner, A C. Tsoi, M Kc, Shujia Zhang Jul 2013

Data Driven Encoding Of Structures And Link Predictions In Large Xml Document Collections, M Hagenbuchner, A C. Tsoi, M Kc, Shujia Zhang

In recent years there have been some significant research towards the ability of processing related data, particularly the relatedness among atomic elements in a structure with those in another structure. A number of approaches have been developed with various degrees of success. This chapter provides an overview of machine learning approaches for the encoding of related atomic elements in one structure with those in other structures. The chapter briefly reviews a number of unsupervised approaches for such data structures which can be used for solving generic classification, regression, and clustering problems. We will apply this approach to a particularly interesting …


Very High Data Rate Mb-Ofdm Uwb Systems With Transmit Diversity Techniques, Ngoc Phuc Le, Le Chung Tran, Farzad Safaei Jun 2013

Very High Data Rate Mb-Ofdm Uwb Systems With Transmit Diversity Techniques, Ngoc Phuc Le, Le Chung Tran, Farzad Safaei

Professor Farzad Safaei

In this paper, the application of space time block codes in a very high data rate multiband-OFDM ultra-wideband (VHDR MB-OFDM UWB) system, where the Modified Dual Carrier Modulation (MDCM) scheme and Low Density Parity Check codes are deployed, is investigated. First, we present a new table-based mapping approach and derive soft-demapping expressions for the MDCM scheme. We then propose a space-time-frequency coded VHDR MB-OFDM UWB system by incorporating space time block codes into the conventional VHDR MB-OFDM UWB system. Numerical simulations of the system supporting a data rate of 1Gbps over the IEEE 802.15.3a channel models are implemented. The simulation …


Double Space-Time Transmit Diversity For Very High Data Rate Mb-Ofdm Uwb Systems, Ngoc P. Le, Le C. Tran, Farzad Safaei Jun 2013

Double Space-Time Transmit Diversity For Very High Data Rate Mb-Ofdm Uwb Systems, Ngoc P. Le, Le C. Tran, Farzad Safaei

Professor Farzad Safaei

In this paper, we investigate a multiband-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband (MB-OFDM UWB) system with very high data rates (VHDR) of several gigabits per second (Gbps). We propose a DSTTD-based VHDR MB-OFDM UWB system by incorporating a double space-time transmit diversity (DSTTD) scheme into the conventional MB-OFDM UWB system. At the receiver, an efficient soft-demapper that takes into consideration the noise enhancement due to a zero-forcing equalization is developed. Numerical simulations of the proposed system at a very high data rate of 2.Gbps over the IEEE 802.15.3a channel models are implemented. The simulation results show that this system could achieve …
