TL;DR: A coherent Doppler lidar has been used in an aircraft to measure the two-dimensional wind field in a number of different atmospheric situations as discussed by the authors, including flights in California, in Oklahoma at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, and in Montana at the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment.
Abstract: A coherent Doppler lidar has been used in an aircraft to measure the two-dimensional wind field in a number of different atmospheric situations. The lidar, a pulsed CO2 system, was installed in the NASA Convair 990, Galileo II, and flown in a summer field program that included flights in California, in Oklahoma at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, and in Montana at the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE). This paper provides a brief description of the instrumentation and summarizes the research flights. Examples of some of the results are given along with plans for future use of the lidar.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the trade-off between MIMO vs. phased array radars relative to cost, system complexity, and risk considering numerous real world effects that are not included in most theoretical analyses.
Abstract: MIMO communication is theoretically superior to conventional communication under certain conditions, and MIMO communication also appears to be practical and cost-effective in the real world for some applications. It is natural to suppose that the same is true for MIMO radar, but the situation is not so clear. Researchers claim many advantages of MIMO radar relative to phased array radars (e.g., better detection performance, better angular resolution, better angular measurement accuracy, improved robustness against RFI, ECM, multipath, etc.). We will evaluate such assertions from a system engineering viewpoint. In particular, there are serious trade-offs of MIMO vs. phased array radars relative to cost, system complexity, and risk considering numerous real world effects that are not included in most theoretical analyses. Moreover, in many cases one can achieve essentially the same radar system improvement with phased array radars using simpler, less expensive, and less risky algorithms. We evaluate roughly a dozen asserted advantages of MIMO radar relative to phased arrays.

01 Nov 1982TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave transparent base is used for cooking or baking in a microwave oven, which includes a partitioned tray and cover which are held in substantially fixed horizontal alignment by a microwave base.
Abstract: A utensil for cooking or baking in a microwave oven. The utensil includes a partitioned tray and cover which are held in substantially fixed horizontal alignment by a microwave transparent base. The tray and cover are metallic and shield the interior there defined from microwave energy. A ferrite layer on the underside of the tray absorbs microwave energy to provide heat which conducts through the tray to the cooking compartments. The utensil can be used to fry and bake different foods simultaneous without intermixing the respective juices. Apertures in the cover provide for the escape of steam from the interior of the utensil.

TL;DR: An adaptive whitening technique that overcomes the problem of conventional whitening failure at low EMG amplitude levels by cascading a nonadaptive whitening filter, an adaptive Wiener filter, and an adaptive gain correction.
Abstract: Previous research showed that whitening the surface electromyogram (EMG) can improve EMG amplitude estimation (where EMG amplitude is defined as the time-varying standard deviation of the EMG). However, conventional whitening via a linear filter seems to fail at low EMG amplitude levels, perhaps due to additive background noise in the measured EMG. This paper describes an adaptive whitening technique that overcomes this problem by cascading a nonadaptive whitening filter, an adaptive Wiener filter, and an adaptive gain correction. These stages can be calibrated from two, five second duration, constant-angle, constant-force contractions, one at a reference level [e.g., 50% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)] and one at 0% MVC. In experimental studies, subjects used real-time EMG amplitude estimates to track a uniform-density, band-limited random target. With a 0.25-Hz bandwidth target, either adaptive whitening or multiple channel processing reduced the tracking error roughly half-way to the error achieved using the dynamometer signal as the feedback. At the 1.00-Hz bandwidth, all of the EMG processors had errors equivalent to that of the dynamometer signal, reflecting that errors in this task were dominated by subjects' inability to track targets at this bandwidth. Increases in the additive noise level, smoothing window length, and tracking bandwidth diminish the advantages of whitening.

TL;DR: The authors' results confirmed the theoretical explanation of L. Breiman (1996) that bagging improves unstable, but not stable, learning algorithms and boosting enhanced accuracy of a weak learner.
Abstract: Two ensemble methods, bagging and boosting, were investigated for improving algorithm performance. The authors' results confirmed the theoretical explanation of L. Breiman (1996) that bagging improves unstable, but not stable, learning algorithms. While boosting enhanced accuracy of a weak learner, its behavior is subject to the characteristics of each learning algorithm.
