One of the most popular techniques for accurate mobile positioning is based on the Time of Arrival (TOA) as a ranging metric. The accuracy of measuring the distance using TOA is sensitive to the multipath condition between ...

The use of modern high strength steels enables automotive producers to notably reduce the vehicle body mass and this way meet today’s fuel efficiency and green house gas emission requirements without compromising structural ...

The classification of natural images is an essential task in current computer vision and pattern recognition applications. Rock images are a typical example of natural images, and their analysis is of major importance in ...

Matrix converters are frequency converters which do not contain a direct current link circuit with passive components, unlike conventional frequency converters. Thus, matrix converters may provide a solution for applications ...

In many digital-filtering applications, it is crucial that the shape of the waveform to be filtered is preserved. This desirable property is owned by a class of digital filters, collectively referred to as linear-phase ...

This work focuses on the properties of model membranes rich in two lipids: cholesterol and cardiolipin. Despite being structurally very different, the biological significance of both of these lipids is partly related to ...

Finding ways to control electron transfer (ET) between molecules or molecular systems and to investigate efficient theoretical methods capable of describing ET is important for being able to design better molecular electronic ...

Sensors are used for obtaining information from their operating environment. Recently, the use of multiple sensory units as arrays or networks has become popular. This has been caused by developments in sensor technology ...

Location-based applications exist at the border of the real and virtual worlds. These two realities are merged into a single experience that provides some added value for the user. Objects in the real world, whose position ...

Speech technology in the form of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech synthesis (text-to-speech or TTS) has become common in everyday use. Applications such as in-car navigation, hands-free control of devices, ...
