The Signal Processing Instructional Facility (SPIF Lab) is an experiment in using in interactive multimedia for teaching concepts related to linear systems theory and signal processing. The goals of the SPIF lab are to augment, enhance, and interconnect sophomore, junior, and senior level courses with the common thread of linear systems and transforms by unifying the experimentation medium. In this fashion, physical phenomenon is returned to the forefront of engineering education. The laboratory features powerful Mathematica Notebooks (a form of hypertext) and interactive applications that use dedicated DSP microprocessors.

With the availability of a large number of software packages for electromagnetic (EM) education through the national computer Applications in Electromagnetic Education (CAEME) Center [1] and other individual efforts, there have been some concerns regarding the ability to integrate this software effectively in routine classroom teaching. Basically, congested EM curricula do not provide instructors with sufficient time to include software demonstrations and simulations during class periods. It is also not clear whether students will be able, adequately and independently, to understand basic underlying concepts and physical phenomena from visualization of colorful graphics and from the output of performed simulations. To help integrate available EM software in classroom teaching for both instructor use and student independent study, CAEME developed three interactive video lessons for student instruction. Interactive media lessons integrate and allow individuals to interactively manipulate information from multimedia such as video, software, and animated graphics, and also include instructional information such as quizzes and tutorials. In this article, we present the features of three interactive video lessons in EM developed by CAEME. These lessons include tutorials, simulations from CAEME software and videos, and quizzes to evaluate student understanding. The lessons use animated graphics illustrating specific dynamic phenomena and specific measurement procedures. They also keep a record of student quiz scores for instructor use. These, as well as other features of the three developed interactive video lessons, and the software and hardware requirements for developing such lessons, will be described.

During laser treatment, coagulation affects the optical properties of the tissue. In particular, the formation of a white lesion increases the scattering coefficient significantly. This change in the optical properties in turn affects the laser light distribution in the tissue. For example, what is the effect of the white lesion formed during photocoagulation of the retina upon reflection and fluence rate? This problem was simulated on a model medium consisting of a thin absorbing black paint layer covered with a 1cm thick layer of fresh egg white. The egg white layer was subdivided into coagulated (white) and uncoagulated (clear) layers. The optical properties of coagulated and uncoagulated egg white were determined. These values were used to model light distribution in the medium for varying thicknesses of the coagulated egg white layer using the one dimensional Adding Doubling method. Our results show that the fluence reaching the paint layer increases until the coagulated layer reaches 100μm, after which it falls off exponentially. It was also found that the total reflected light increases almost linearly at first as the coagulated layer thickens, and then begins to level off to an R∞ at a coagulation thickness of 2mm. Experimental measurements of reflection from a lesion with a CCD camera confirm the computed trends. These results provide a theoretical foundation for control of lesion thickness using reflectance images.
We introduce a continuous time method to analyze the response of median, pseudomedian, average (mean), and midrange filters to certain periodic signals. The filter definitions are generalized to continuous time, and t...

The growth of high quality Si/GaAs superlattices on GaAs substrates using molecular beam epitaxy is described. A typical superlattice structure consisted of ten periods of thin (<5Å) layers of pseudomorphic silicon alternating with thick GaAs layers; typical GaAs thicknesses range from 100Å to 1850Å. In situ reflection high energy electron diffraction analysis of the structures during growth showed the silicon layers developed a (3 × 1) reconstruction, while the GaAs exhibited a (4×)→(3×)→(3×1)→(2×4) reconstruction sequence. Both observations agree with prior studies of the growth of embedded silicon in GaAs/Si/GaAs heterostructures. X-ray diffraction using the (004) reflection showed sharp and intense satellite peaks (out to 22 orders in one case), indicating a high level of structural quality. Very good agreement has been obtained between observed diffraction patterns and those calculated via dynamical simulation.
