This paper provides an introduction to an intriguing geometric phenomenon that can occur when considering narrowband bivariate signals. This so-called geometric phase may appear when the signal normalized second order instantaneous moment follows a smooth curve in the curved projective space. The resulting geometric phase is independent of the sign...
This paper focuses on the AUD in a NOMA network. To do so with a reduced complexity, we propose a new strategy based on Grover’s quantum algorithm to perform the minimum searching so as to implement the ML receiver. As current quantum processors still suffer from noise in the so-called NISQ era, we propose to use Grover’s routine with a reduced num...
This paper presents a novel actuation method to change the buoyancy of an underwater soft robot by pumping denser and less dense liquids, than the liquid the robot is immersed in, into the robot to actively change the mass of the robot and cause it to experience a change in buoyancy. The technological research gap lies in the method of pumping ligh...
Gait disorders in neurological diseases are frequently associated with spasticity. Intramuscular injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) can be used to treat spasticity. Providing optimal treatment with the highest possible benefit–risk ratio is a crucial consideration. This paper presents a novel approach for predicting knee and ankle kinemati...
Hyperspectral imaging systems based on multiple-beam interference (MBI), such as Fabry-Perot interferometry, are attracting interest due to its compact design, better throughput, and finer resolution. Unlike dispersive devices, spectra in interferometric systems are reconstructed from raw interferograms. Although the response function of MBI device...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a commonly used as complement to medication in the management of symptoms of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). Electrical stimulation is delivered in the brain via multi-contacts electrodes to structures of the basal ganglia. Stimulation tests during awake surgery allow to...
This article proposes an innovative inverse problem (IP) approach to demodulate interference signals from a triaxial optical borehole tiltmeter interrogated by a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer to 13 nm equivalent precision. The IP technique calculates the desired measurand, here displacement, by determining the five inherent optical parameters of...
We present a novel data management system tailored for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) research. It addresses challenges in heterogeneous data collection and management during the patient journey and subsequent data analyses. The system integrates an Electronic Data Capture platform (REDCap), a relational database (SQLite), and a brain imaging file st...
This paper introduces a couple of new time-frequency transforms, designed to adapt their scale to specific features of the analyzed function. Such an adaptation is implemented via so-called focus functions, which control the window scale as a function of the time variable, or the frequency variable. In this respect, these transforms are non-linear,...
This study evaluates multimodal imaging for characterizing microstructures in partially impregnated thermoplastic matrix composites made of woven glass fiber and polypropylene. The research quantifies the impregnation degree of fiber bundles within composite plates manufactured through a simplified compression resin transfer molding process. For co...
