A Companding Technique to Reduce Peak-to-Average Ratio in Discrete Multitone Wireline Receivers by Miad Laghaei, Hossein Shakiba, Ali Sheikholeslami

“…This limitation is primarily due to substantial large amplitude peaks, which necessitates a reduction in the signal’s power levels to circumvent signal clipping. This, in turn, results in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which puts these modulations at a serious disadvantage compared to conventional modulation schemes. …”

Retrieval of Embolized Amplatzer Patent Foramen Ovale Occlusion Device: Issues Related to Late Recognition by Allan J. Davies, Nicholas Collins, Nicole Organ

“…While early, periprocedural device embolization can normally be managed with snare and percutaneous retrieval, late embolization requires a different management strategy due to inability of the device to deform to allow passage into a large caliber sheath. We present a case of asymptomatic device embolization recognized six months following implantation and discuss the challenges encountered in successfully retrieving the device.…”

Application of CAD Technology in Extracting Line Feature of Industrial Part Image by Fei Li

“…The experimental results show that the above algorithm is used to extract the line features of real industrial part images, and the median error of the difference between the reconstructed line length and the line length measured by the vernier caliper is 0.232 mm. The practice has proved that CAD technology has a certain auxiliary and guiding role in the research of industrial part image feature extraction algorithms. …”

The Importance of the Maxillary and Mandibular Incisors in Predicting the Canines and Premolars Crown Widths by Mohammed Rafid A. Al-Khannaq, Mohammed Nahidh, Dunia Ahmed Al-Dulaimy

“…The crown widths of the mandibular and maxillary incisors, canines, and premolars were assessed at the maximum mesiodistal dimension on the dental casts using a digital electronic caliper with 0.01 mm sensitivity. The correlation between combined mesiodistal crown widths of the mandibular and the maxillary incisors and combined mesiodistal crown widths of mandibular and maxillary premolars and canines has been determined using Pearson’s coefficient correlation test for each arch and gender. …”
