Various nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques are widely used in the inspection of sub-surface flaws. This paper introduces the results of a research conducted to enhance the performance of eddy-current nondestructive evaluation (ECNDE) by developing an integrated computer based system. Advantages of this system include increasing test speed, while avoiding errors due to human factors. The system can be used to optimize various parameters affecting the performance of inspecting sub-surface cracks including probe configuration and operating frequency range. Inspectability is enhanced by advanced processing of raw eddy current signal. The two-dimensional wavelet transform is applied to eddy current c-scan images to extract feature vectors representing the material flaws. Artificial neural network techniques are then invoked to automate the detection and classification of sub-surface flaws.

The coders based upon ITU-T G.729 standard and its new version G.729A provide toll-quality speech for most operating conditions, and these coders are the prime candidates for the next generation of cellular systems. This paper presents new techniques for reducing the bit rate of these coders from 8 kbits/s to 7 kbits/s without introducing any bad effects into the coders' performance in clean or noisy environments, and without increasing the codec delay. The new coder is called algebraic CELP (ACELP) and has 7 kbits/s with 15 ms algorithmic delay.

This paper deals with the reference-free adaptive interference cancelling techniques. A new cross-coupled adaptive interference canceller (CC-AIC), with only a single input is introduced. This scheme is capable for cancelling narrow-band interference (NBI) from a broadband signal or wideband noise from a narrow-band signal with a significantly better cancellation performance than the conventional techniques. Cancellation was obtained even when the interference has a small power spectral density with respect to the desired signal and vice versa. Furthermore, this scheme can also be used efficiently as a speech enhancer.

In this paper we propose a MOSFET structure which limits the drawbacks of the traditional MOSFET. Moreover it is super-fast and can be operated in the GHz range. The suggested MOSFET is analyzed to prove its superior noise and high speed performance that makes it suitable to be used in GHz applications. The proposed MOSFET is realized by using the known MOSFET technology with a graded band gap channel (GBGC) in the longitudinal direction from the source to the drain with the greater band gap at the source side and the smaller one at the drain side. This graded band gap can be achieved by implanting atoms of a material which has a smaller band gap energy than silicon. The fractional ratio (/spl delta/) of the implanted atoms increases with the position x towards the drain.

This paper presents the replacement of the conventional manipulators in the hot cells of the ET-RR-1 nuclear research reactor by a robot, to prevent involved personnel from being exposed to nuclear radiation hazards. In this respect, the educational robot HERO 2000, after being coupled to a PC, and provided with a sensing mat which is known as the force sensing array (FSA), is programmed to be able to identify the position and orientation of an irradiation can that is falling on the ground of a hot cell, and consequently to be able to pick up and transport this can to a lathe for cutting. A computer program, translates the positions and orientations of the irradiation cans, on the basis of some proposed processing criteria, to the robot HERO 2000 joint angles by virtue of employing inverse kinematics. Experimental measurement reveals that the output data of the sensing mat, are associated with statistical uncertainties. Linear representation of the associated statistical uncertainties together with inverse kinematics differentials, permits prediction of the corresponding corrections for joint angles that are required to ensure successful picking up of irradiation cans.

Over the last two decades, the development of new printed and other planar antenna technology has fundamentally changed microwave engineering and microwave and millimeter wave communications. New planar antennas can be printed on substrates with minimal cost and processing. Low profile, highly efficient dielectric resonator antennas (DRA) have shown great potential with large bandwidth capabilities, low loss and flexibility over a large frequency range. In many new applications, these compact and low profile antennas, which can also be integrated with active devices, offer a practical and inexpensive solution to previously used configurations of waveguide or reflector-based antenna systems. Increased present and future demands by commercial wireless applications at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies require new innovations to exploit all the potential and flexibility that these classes of antennas could offer. This paper discusses these related issues by presenting several examples of some of the innovations in integrated planar active and passive antennas, and their related design and operations issues.

The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to determine the electromagnetic power distribution and calculate the specific absorption rates (SARs) inside human body. In this paper, this method is applied to evaluate SAR in an inhomogeneous tissue which has a cylindrical shape. An annular phased array (APA) consisting of eight dipoles is used to focus the SARs inside the model. A deionized water bolus is placed between the model and the radiating dipoles to improve field matching as well as to obtain superficial cooling. For this mode, focusing SAR by APA at one or both kidneys is investigated.

An accurate full-wave mode matching approach is used to analyze the dispersion characteristics of shielded microstrip. In contrast to the usual perturbation method it includes metallic loss by a self-consistent description without skin effect approximation. The analysis holds for arbitrary high losses and also for metallization dimensions smaller than the skin depth. The metallic strip is considered to be of finite conductivity with finite metallization thickness. The substrate used is GaAs.

Recognition method of human face using statistical analysis feature extraction and a neural network algorithm is proposed. In the preprocessing step we detect the edges of the face image by using the Sobel algorithm. Then we propose a new method to transform the two-dimension black and white image to a one-dimension vector. Finally, based on the statistical analysis, we extract seven features. In the recognition step we use the fast backpropagation (FBP) algorithm. Computer simulation results with 100 test images of 10 persons (the images of each person in a various pauses, facial expression, and facial details) show that the proposed method yields a high recognition rate.
