Seismic imaging using higher order statistics
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Improvements in seismic resolution beyond typical seismic wavelength will have significant implications for hydrocarbon exploration and production. Conventional imaging algorithms can be derived as a least squared optimization ...
A method for the optimization of the birdcage coil in MRI
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a volume coil is omen used to uniformly illuminate the sample being imaged with radio-frequency (RF) energy and then to receive the resulting MR signal. The coil is expected to achieve ...
Image texture analysis of elastograms
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
As the quest for curing cancer continues with ever growing determination and vigor, new medical imaging techniques have come up to help in early cancer detection. The early detection aids in the possibility of either ...
Implementation of a low power adaptive binary encoder
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The demand for a low power implementation of a data compression technique is driven by the need for small, light-weight portable electronic devices that need to operate on battery power for extended periods of time at ...
Estimation of the error for small-sample optimal binary filter design using prior knowledge
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Optimal binary filters estimate an unobserved ideal quantity from observed quantities. Optimality is with respect to some error criterion, which is usually mean absolute error MAE (or equivalently mean square error) for ...
Adhesion improvement of electroless copper depositions on titanium nitride by low temperature annealing
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Due to the ever decreasing dimensions of the inter-level metallic interconnects, alternative metal deposition processes must be explored as the current processes (chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition ...
Analysis of power estimation techniques in CDMA systems
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Power control is used in the reversed link to reduce the near-far problem in multi-user code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Power estimation is one of the key aspects of the power control scheme. We compare and ...
Microfracture fabric of the Punchbowl fault zone, San Andreas System, California
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The origin of fault zone structure is not completely understood. On the basis of mechanistic models of faulting, the characteristic internal structure of faults may largely be established early during growth of the fault, ...
An economical optical system design using phase diversity
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The resolution of an incoherent imaging system is olden limited aberrations. Phase aberrations by phase arise from a variety of sources including atmospheric turbulence, misaligned optical and improper mirror figure. ...
QoS enhancement with partial state
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Considerable work has been done in devising mechanisms for providing service guarantees within a network. These schemes can be broadly classified into two categories, schemes that require maintaining state for each flow ...
