This paper presents the design of an algorithm to provide end-to-end multichannel load balancing and failover for generic SANs. A virtual channel is formed by the aggregation of multiple subchannels. This provides scalability as sub-channels can be added or removed when required. Multiple sub-channels also improve the reliability of-storage network. By exchanging information between 2 hosts, the algorithm is also able to balance both the transmission and reception load. Additional information can be added to transmitted packets by lowering the MTU value of a virtual network interface. This additional information can be used to identify the network storage protocol used so as to provide end-to-end multichannel functionality independent of the network storage protocol used. Results have shown that the implementation is able to provide higher throughput with the added benefits of end-to-end load balancing and failover to both hyperSCSI and iSCSI

A novel self-sensing thermal actuator incorporating a micromirror is proposed as a fine positioning actuator for the precise-tracking mechanism of a high-density optical drive. Due to the bimorph effect, a bilayer cantilever, consisting of two materials with different thermal expansion, can provide force or displacement with change in temperature. In the proposed thermal actuator, an integrated micromirror suspended by four identical thermal bilayer cantilevers is vertically driven to move upwards by a driving voltage. Meanwhile, the mirror position can be detected by an embedded high-sensitivity piezoresistive sensor. The process flow of the self-sensing actuator is presented with the prototypes. The experimental results show that the micromirror can be driven up to an equivalent 1.4 /spl mu/m displacement in the tracking direction by the driving voltage of 3 V. The device also has a measured resonant frequency of 7 kHz and displacement sensitivity of 0.04 ppm//spl Aring/ to support high bandwidth servo feedback control in an optical drive.

Images are often contaminated by impulse noise. The major drawback of median filtering and its variants - that are widely used for removing impulsive noise - is the blurring effect for large window sizes and low noise suppression for small window sizes. In this paper, a fuzzy-competitive algorithm for removing impulse noise in images is proposed. The proposed algorithm utilized fuzzy inference systems for impulse detection. The detected impulses are then removed using long-range correlation information in a competitive scheme. The experimental results show that the performance of our method in removing impulsive noises is better than that of most other state-of-the-art methods

Neuroscientists believe that human beings recognize faces not only by utilizing some holistic search among all learned faces, but also through a feature analysis that aimed to specify more important features of each specific face. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical classifier that uses both holistic search and per face dominant feature analysis to recognize faces. Reinforcement learning is used to find a set of dominant features for each image in a training dataset. Wavelet transform is employed as a preprocessing tool, which results in higher discrimination among classes. Simulation studies justify the better performance of the proposed method as compared to that of eigenface method.

This paper proposes a new method of face representation which is used for face recognition by SVM. For face representation we have used a two-step method, first two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to transform the faces to a more discriminated space and then principal component analysis (PCA) is applied. The proposed method produced a significant improvement which includes a substantial reduction in error rate and in time of processing during the obtaining PCA orthonormal basis.

Electromagnetic theory of plasma oscillations in field-effect transistor with two-dimensional electron channel is presented. Two different key electromagnetic problems are considered. They are the problems of diffraction of the plane electromagnetic wave (i) on the slot in infinite perfectly conductive plane, which is bridged by 2D electron channel and (ii) on the perfectly conductive strip, which screens partially an infinite 2D electron sheet located at a given distance from the strip. New physics inherent in these problems is revealed.

详细信息
High-frequency response of field-effect transistors and diodes with two-dimensional electron channels is strongly affected by plasma oscillations in the channel. This phenomenon in its various manifestations can be used for the detection, frequency multiplication and generation of terahertz radiation. One of the main parameters of a device, which determines its high-frequency properties, is the device impedance. We calculate here the impedance of a slot diode with conductively contacted two-dimensional electron channel using the full system of the Maxwell equations. In this way, we account for the radiation resistance and inter-contact capacitance from first principles.
