Various equalization and detection techniques are considered for the digital video cassette recorder (DVCR) application. Bit error rate (BER) performances are evaluated based on computer simulation. The equalization/detection schemes considered are class IV partial response equalisation followed by Viterbi algorithm detection (PR4/VA), extended class IV combined with VA detection (EPR4/VA), decision feedback equalization (DFE) and fixed-delay tree search with decision feedback (FDTS/DF). For all cases, the rate 24/25 modulation DC-controlled channel code is used. The BER simulations are performed at different channel SNR values and in the presence of off-track, head-tape space variations and sampling phase error. The results show that the FDTS/DF with a search depth of 3 has significant performance advantage and improved robustness over other schemes under various channel conditions.

We address the problem of coherent detection of a signal embedded in heavy-tailed noise modeled as a subGaussian, alpha-stable process. We assume that the signal is a complex-valued vector of length L, known only within a multiplicative constant. The dependence structure of the noise, i.e., the underlying matrix of the sub Gaussian process, is not known. The intent is to implement a generalized likelihood ratio detector which employs robust estimates of the unknown noise underlying matrix and the unknown signal strength. The performance of the proposed adaptive detector is compared to that of an adaptive matched filter that uses Gaussian estimates of the noise underlying matrix and the signal strength and is found to be clearly superior. The proposed new algorithms an evaluated via Monte-Carlo simulation.

Discrete-time systems using /spl delta/-operator instead of shift operator are being studied vigorously in view of the many numerical advantages they provide. In the design of discrete-time filters, polynomial transformations from continuous-time systems play an important role. This paper would present efficient tabular algorithms to perform polynomial transformation between continuous-time {s-variable}, /spl delta/-DT {/spl gamma/-variable} and q-DT {z-variable} systems. Both 1-D and 2-D cases are considered.

In this project we consider automated vehicle location and classification systems. Current systems which utilize loop detectors or video cameras have deficiencies. Video based systems are sensitive to environmental conditions and do not perform well in vehicle classification. The new generation of range or distance sensors that are being developed offer the promise of sensors which are not sensitive to lighting conditions and provide information which should give better vehicle detection and classification percentages than current systems. The focus of this project is to develop an automated vehicle location and classification system based upon imagery obtained from range sensors. Image analysis operators and classification methods are developed for vehicle classification. Preliminary results indicate that accurate vehicle classification can be obtained.

Considering a closed loop model of the cardiovascular system, the authors develop accurate multi-input linear and nonlinear approaches for estimation of the heart beat interval time series using mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), instantaneous lung volume (ILV) and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). The nonlinear model proved to be more adequate compared to the linear one, with respiration being the most nonlinear component of the system.

A system of T resources (wireless channels) shared by a number of un-buffered applications is considered. The shared transmission resources are defined to be the slots (packet transmission times) of a TDMA frame (service cycle). Packets which are not allocated a channel within the current service cycle are dropped. The quality of service (QoS) vector is equivalently described in terms of (diverse) packet dropping probabilities (p/sub i/), or (diverse) packet dropping rates (d/sub i/). From a precisely defined region of achievable QoS vectors, easy to implement scheduling policies that deliver the achievable QoS vectors are derived. As an example, a policy that delivers a target QoS vector is derived; its performance is verified through simulations.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation scheme purported to be insensitive to the multipath effects of a mobile communication channel as well as exhibiting immunity to narrow-band interference via hole punching in the OFDM spectrum. We examine and verify the OFDM bit error rate sensitivity to low level interference and introduce and demonstrate a spectrum spreading technique to reduce the effect of the narrow-band interferer.

This paper deals with the definitions and the testing for the presence of various symmetries in the magnitude response of two-dimensional (2-D) delta operator formulated discrete-time systems. The symmetry constraints defined provide a unification with the analog 2-D case. With the sampling period=0, the results correspond to the conditions on analog polynomial magnitude symmetry.

The high temperature consolidation of fiber reinforced titanium matrix composites (TMCs) seeks to reduce the concentration of matrix pores (i.e. increase relative density) while simultaneously minimizing fiber microbending/fracture and the growth of reaction product layers at the fiber-matrix interface. These three goals have conflicting dependencies upon the consolidation processes variables (temperature and pressure), and "trial and error" has had difficulty in identifying optimal process pathways that lead to composites with the least fiber damage, reaction layer thickness and matrix porosity. Here, model predictive control (MPC) concepts have been combined with dynamic consolidation models to investigate the design of locally optimal process cycles that minimize fiber damage, reaction product layer thickness and pore concentration. The approach is used to path plan the input process schedules for a Ti-6Al-4V/SCS-6 TMC system. We then show how useful process windows (i.e. an approximation to the domain of the reachable goals) can be computed by varying the goal and repeating the path planning procedure.

We propose an architecture for multiresolution classification based on a wavelet decomposition and a hierarchical neural network. Each layer of the neural network is a "frequency expert" associated with a single frequency channel. Higher layers in the hierarchy integrate the information provided by the layers below, leading to a network where different "experts" cooperate to explain the input data. We illustrate the performance of this architecture on edge detection, a problem which is well known to be best addressed in a multiresolution framework.
