Whispering gallery mode resonators such as silica microtoroids can be used as sensitive biochemical sensors. One sensing modality is mode-splitting, where the binding of individual targets to the resonator breaks the degeneracy between clockwise and...

This paper presents an accuracy assessment of the main global scale Burned Area (BA) products, derived from daily images of the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Fire_CCI 5.1 and MCD64A1 C6, as well as the previous versions of bot...

Due to the known issue that the ranging in the 802.15.4™-2015 standard is prone to external attacks, the enhanced impulse radio (EiR), a new amendment still under development, advances the secure ranging protocol by encryption of physical layer...

We have developed the ABEAM-15, a custom-built multiplexed reflectance device for the detection of vapor phase and aerosolized chemical plumes. The instrument incorporates fifteen individual sensing elements, has wireless communications, offers suppo...

Compared with the commonly used lidar and visual sensors, the millimeter-wave radar has all-day and all-weather performance advantages and more stable performance in the face of different scenarios. However, using the millimeter-wave radar as the Sim...

Buckling stability of thin films on compliant substrates is universal and essential in stretchable electronics. The dynamic behaviors of this special system are unavoidable when the stretchable electronics are in real applications. In this paper, an...

The technical progress in the last decades makes photo and video recording devices omnipresent. This change has a significant impact, among others, on police work. It is no longer unusual that a myriad of digital data accumulates after a criminal act...

In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network-based template architecture that compensates for the disadvantages of existing watermarking techniques that are vulnerable to geometric distortion. The proposed template consists of a template...

This paper presents a novel approach for hand-held low-cost MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) gyroscope in-self calibration. This method does not need the support of external high-precision equipment compared with traditional calibration scheme...

Deep learning based methods have achieved state-of-the-art results on the task of ship type classification. However, most existing ship type classification algorithms take time–frequency (TF) features as input, the underlying discriminative inf...
