Resistless electron beam lithography process for the fabrication of sub-50 nm silicide structures
(1997)
We report on a study of the fabrication of submicron silicide structures with a resistless lithography technique. Several different metals can be used as a basis for producing silicide using this method; in this work, ...
Modulation of functional connectivity following visual adaptation: homeostasis in V1
(2015)
Abstract: Sensory neurons exhibit remarkable adaptability in acquiring new optimal selectivity to unfamiliar features when a new stimulus becomes prevalent in the environment. In conventionally prepared adult anesthetized ...
Implementation of a simplified method in design of hysteretic dampers for isolated highway bridges
(2017)
Abstract: Using seismic isolation systems for highway bridges modifies the structure’s principal vibration modes, effectively reducing the seismic base shear conveyed from the superstructure to the substructure. However, ...
Full-scale measurement of the response of a CPV tracker structure prototype under wind load
(2017)
The response of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) structures under wind loading has to be carefully predicted to optimize the design of these structures. Designers normally rely on wind tunnel tests and equivalent static ...
A parallel supercomputer implementation of a biological inspired neural network and its use for pattern recognition
(2012)
Abstract : A parallel implementation of a large spiking neural network is proposed and evaluated. The
neural network implements the binding by synchrony process using the Oscillatory Dynamic Link Matcher
(ODLM). Scalability, ...
Wavelet noise reduction : application to speech enhancement
(2000)
Abstract : During the past decade, the Wavelet Transforms (WT) have been applied to various research areas. Their applications include signal and image denoising, compression, detection, and pattern recognition. To our ...
Novel concept of gas sensitivity characterization of materials suited for implementation in FET-based gas sensors
(2016)
Abstract : We propose a novel technique to investigate the gas sensitivity of materials for implementation in field-effect transistor-based gas sensors. Our technique is based on the measurement of the surface charge induced ...
Performance of three acoustical methods for localizing whales in the Saguenay - St. Lawrence Marine Park
(2008)
Abstract : Three algorithms are explored to localize fin whale calls recorded from a large-aperture hydrophone array deployed in the Saguenay—St. Lawrence Marine Park. The methods have to cope with varying sound speed in ...
Wavelet speech enhancement based on time-scale adaptation
(2006)
Abstract : We propose a new speech enhancement method based on time and scale adaptation of wavelet thresholds. The time dependency is introduced by approximating the Teager Energy of the wavelet coefficients, while the ...
Sensorial substitution system with encoding of visual objects into sounds
(2011)
Abstract : Visual and auditory prostheses involve surgeries that are complex, expensive, and invasive. They are limited to a small number of electrodes and can only be used when the impairment is peripheral. The Vibe and ...
