These techniques are based on the PC-set method and the parallel technique of compiled unit-delay simulation. The first technique, called the synchronous parallel technique, is applicable only to synchronous circuits, but provides significant performance improvements over interpreted unit-delay simulation. The second and third techniques. called the convergence algorithm and the asynchronous parallel technique, are applicable to all circuits, both synchronous and asynchronous. The convergence algorithm, which is based on the PC-set method, provided significant performance increases for some circuits, but performed poorly on others. The asynchronous parallel technique performed rather poorly, and is covered only briefly.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":230446,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '92","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134119431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this method, a stereo pair of images is transformed into the Walsh series and then decomposed into a pair of strings, carrying the first eight coefficients of the Walsh series as attributes. In order to explicitly integrate the uniqueness and the ordering constraints into the matching process, a string-to-string matching technique is applied to bring the two strings into correspondence. The experimental results obtained show that this method presents a very effective approach to the recovery of the depth information.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":230446,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '92","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134604042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The image produced was a binary image. Upon consideration of the merits of different spectral transform methods, a Manz sequency ordered Walsh transform was chosen to obtain the power spectrum of the bubble image. Using the spectrum as the input to a three-layer neural network the bubble size distribution was predicted. Histograms showing bubble size distributions were the target outputs corresponding to sets of inputs. Neural network training involved using backpropagation in conjunction with a wide range of deviations. Bubble positions within the photograph were also varied. The input-output training pairs were simulated from images generated with known distributions and used to train the backpropagation network. The trained network was then tested using unseen images and the results were excellent.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":230446,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '92","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131321644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three media integral equations are derived and are solved for the charge distributions. The decoupling between such two-conductor microstrip transmission lines is investigated. It is found that the coupling between two conducting lines can be reduced significantly by removing dielectric material between the lines that have a rectangular shape. For the best decoupling, the width should be as wide as possible between the conducting lines, but the depth will have an optimum somewhere in the base dielectric substrate.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":230446,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '92","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115362975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
