A Novel Technique for the Analysis of Dielectric Waveguides
A new technique of analysis is presented in this thesis. The method invokes the principle of equivalent current sources to formulate a problem of open and enclosed dielectric waveguiding structures so that integral equations can be obtained in which integrations are performed only over a finite and …

Novel Technique for Gait Analysis Using Two Waist Mounted Gyroscopes
<p>Analysis of the human gait is used in many applications such as medicine, sports, and person identification. Several research studies focused on the use of MEMS inertial sensors for gait analysis and showed promising results. The miniaturization of these sensors and their wearability allowed the …

An empirical study of a novel technique : rationed-memory compiling
We present rationed-memory compiling, a new technique designed to reduce the memory consumption of programs. The technique lowers memory usage by decreasing the amount of memory that programs allocate, but not use actively. With rationed- memory compiling, whenever a program requests a memory …

Mixed Gas Transport Study Through Polymeric Membranes: A Novel Technique
… membranes with real time resolution. The technique employs a gas chromatograph as the selective detector for monitoring the variation in gas concentration, as the gases permeate through the membrane. The same set-up can also be used for conducting single gas permeation experiments. The …

Three-dimensional body scanning : a novel technique for body composition assessment
… due to excess body fat (BF). While several techniques exist there are few that are accurate, non-invasive, fast, and comfortable for subjects. The Three Dimensional (3D) body scanner is a new body composition assessment method that might serve as another option for investigators and …

Perichromism: a novel technique to distinguish between amorphous and crystalline material
… safety of a medicine. There are currently many techniques that are used to distinguish between morphological forms, but these have many drawbacks, including cost and limit of detection. In this context there are currently no techniques that can be adapted for on-line analysis. To distinguish …

Elastography using optical coherence tomography : development and validation of a novel technique
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by an accumulation of lipid and fibrous tissue in the arterial wall. Postmortem studies have characterized rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques by the presence of a large lipid-rich core covered by a thin fibrous cap. Studies employing …

A novel technique for phased array receivers based on an economic sampling scheme
… for each individual antenna. Alternative techniques, mainly based on TDMA, have been developed looking for lowering the number of elements in the system. However, these approaches increase the system bandwidth, multiplying it by a factor of $N$ (Number of antennas), as they use redundant …

Measurement of 'one over f noise' in infrared detection using a novel technique
… is measured and studied using two measurement techniques. The first technique is the commonly used conventional method of measuring 1/f noise that analyzes 1/f noise in the frequency domain and extracts the 1/f noise contribution from the power spectral densities. The second approach is a novel …

Computer simulation of a novel technique for Radio-Frequency Ablation of ventricular arrhythmias
… during the RFA procedure. In principle, our RFA technique only requires a single beat of VT to localize the exit site of the reentry circuit. The objective of this thesis is to determine in a simulation model if one can guide a catheter to the exit site of the reentry circuit using body surface …

An in Situ Study of the Stresses in Silicide Thin Films
A novel technique has been introduced to determine the film stress of metal silicon interfaced materials in-situ. This technique requires the use of a spatially wide yet highly collimated white beam of synchrotron radiation, and a properly chosen filter. The technique is properly termed Absorption …
