This work mainly focuses on signal processing issues related to continuous-wave, polarization-based direct imaging schemes. Here, we present a mathematical framework to analyze the performance of the Polarization Difference ...

Load balancing has been a topic of interest in both academia and industry, mainly because of the scope for performance enhancement that is available to be exploited in many parallel and distributed processing environments. ...

"A distributed queueing Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is used in Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) networks. A modified version of the MAC protocol was proposed by R.R. Pillai and U. Mukherji in an attempt to overcome ...

The aim of speech scrambling algorithms is to transform clear speech into an unintelligible signal so that it is difficult to decrypt it in the absence of the key. Most of the existing speech scrambling algorithms tend ...

Hearing impairment is the number one chronic disability affecting people in the world. Many people have great difficulty in understanding speech with background noise. This is especially true for a large number of elderly ...

Multimedia' nature of an application refers to the presence of several media streams in parallel. Whether it is receiving real-time data or retrieving stored data, there exists an end-to-end delay in data transfer from ...

Power and Generator Transformers are important and expensive elements of a power system. Inadvertent failure of Power Transformers would cause long interruption in power supply with consequent loss of reliability and revenue ...

This thesis, presents a multiprocessor topology, the hierarchical network of hyper-cubes, which has a low diameter, low degree of connectivity and yet exhibits hypercube like versatile characteristics. The hierarchical ...

Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks or RAID is a popular method of improving the reliability and performance of disk storage. Of various levels of RAID, mirrored or RAID1 and rotating parity or RAID5 configurations have ...

The routing strategy used in today's Internet is best-effort service, where all data packets are treated equally. This type of service is not suited for applications such as video conferencing, and video on demand, that ...
