By having communication pixels, a decision that which one of the neighboring pixels shall collect the distributed charges is taken.

EVALUATION OF RADIATED EMISSIONS FROM PCB AND CABLES AT POST-LAYOUT LEVELPiero Belforte
This document presents a study evaluating methods to predict radiated emissions from printed circuit boards (PCBs) and attached cables at the design stage. It tests models of the radiated emissions of simple two-layer PCBs with and without an attached cable by comparing simulations to measurements. For PCBs alone, a model using Hertzian dipoles accurately predicts differential mode emissions. A more accurate model is then presented which considers both differential and common mode emissions, where common mode radiation is caused by ground noise on the PCB. The document finds that accounting for this ground noise is important when a cable is attached to the PCB, as the cable can be excited by this common mode signal.

This document describes two techniques for designing optical XNOR and NAND logic gates. The first technique uses a 2D array of coupled optical cavities with Kerr nonlinearity. Discrete cavity solitons are numerically simulated and used to demonstrate optical XNOR and NAND gates by controlling soliton interactions with a Gaussian beam. The second technique uses multi-mode interference waveguides to convert the phase of binary-phase-shift keying input signals to amplitude at the output, implementing optical XNOR and NAND logic. Numerical simulations using the finite element method show contrast ratios of 21.5 dB for the XNOR gate and 22.3 dB for the NAND gate.

Generation of Quantum Photon Information Using Extremely Narrow Optical Tweez...University of Malaya (UM)
A system of microring resonator (MRR) is presented to generate extremely narrow optical tweezers. An add/drop filter system consisting of one centered ring and one smaller ring on the left side can be used to generate extremely narrow pulse of optical tweezers. Optical tweezers generated by the dark-Gaussian behavior propagate via the MRRs system, where the input Gaussian pulse controls the output signal at the drop port of the system. Here the output optical tweezers can be connected to a quantum signal processing system (receiver), where it can be used to generate high capacity quantum codes within series of MRR’s and an add/drop filter. Detection of the encoded signals known as quantum bits can be done by the receiver unit system. Generated entangled photon pair propagates via an optical communication link. Here, the result of optical tweezers with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 0.3 nm, 0.8 nm and 1.6 nm, 1.3 nm are obtained at the through and drop ports of the system respectively. These results used to be transmitted through a quantum signal processor via an optical computer network communication link.

This document discusses the application of smart antenna interference suppression techniques in TD-SCDMA systems. It first provides background on TD-SCDMA and smart antenna technology. It then describes two adaptive beamforming algorithms - LMS and RLS - and simulates their performance at interference suppression in MATLAB. The simulation results show that both algorithms can effectively form a main beam towards the desired user and nulls towards interferers. RLS converges faster than LMS, though it has higher computational complexity. The study demonstrates that smart antenna techniques can improve signal quality in TD-SCDMA systems by suppressing interference.
Pietro Santoro characterized the power loss of an optical fiber splice in his laboratory session. He measured the input and output power of a spliced fiber to determine the power loss introduced by the splice. Poor core alignment, axial run-out, and gaps between fibers can cause power loss at a splice by disrupting the fiber's optical properties. Santoro set up the experiment using a laser diode, power meter, splicer and cleaver. He recorded the input and output power measurements to analyze the power loss of the splice.
Design of a Selective Filter based on 2D Photonic Crystals Materials IJECEIAES
Two dimensional finite differences temporal domain (2D-FDTD) numerical simulations are performed in cartesian coordinate system to determine the dispersion diagrams of transverse electric (TE) of a two-dimension photonic crystal (PC) with triangular lattice. The aim of this work is to design a filter with maximum spectral response close to the frequency 1.55 μm. To achieve this frequency, selective filters PC are formed by combination of three waveguides W 1 K A wherein the air holes have of different normalized radii respectively r 1 /a=0.44, r 2 /a=0.288 and r /a= 0.3292 (a: is the periodicity of the lattice with value 0.48 μm). Best response is obtained when we insert three small cylindrical cavities (with normalized radius of 0.17) between the two half-planes of photonic crystal strong lateral confinement.

An optimized discrete wavelet transform compression technique for image trans...IJECEIAES
Transferring images in a wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) knows a fast development in both research and fields of application. Nevertheless, this area of research faces many problems such as the low quality of the received images after their decompression, the limited number of reconstructed images at the base station, and the high-energy consumption used in the process of compression and decompression. In order to fix these problems, we proposed a compression method based on the classic discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Our method applies the wavelet compression technique multiple times on the same image. As a result, we found that the number of received images is higher than using the classic DWT. In addition, the quality of the received images is much higher compared to the standard DWT. Finally, the energy consumption is lower when we use our technique. Therefore, we can say that our proposed compression technique is more adapted to the WMSN environment.
Object tracking is one of the most important problems in modern visual systems and researches are
continuing their studies in this field. A suitable tracking method should not only be able to recognize and
track the related object in continuous frames, but should also provide a reliable and efficient reaction
against the phenomena disturbing tracking process including performance efficiency in real-time
applications. In this article, an effective mesh-based method is introduced as a suitable tracking method in
continuous frames. Also, its preference and limitation is discussed.
This document presents an adaptive mesh method for object tracking in video frames. The method uses an adaptive mesh structure instead of a uniform mesh, where nodes are selected adaptively between frames based on object movement. This provides more robustness to minor or major occlusions. The method estimates background to be covered and uncovered background regions, applies polygon approximation to model borders, and estimates optical flow for node movement. It was shown to effectively handle challenges in tracking like occlusions while maintaining real-time performance. Some limitations are its complexity and inability to guarantee occlusion of all inter-nodal regions.

Design and manufacturing of iris waveguide filters for satellite communicationTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
We propose in this paper, two bandpass filters in waveguide technology having rectangular symmetrical discontinuities with a half-radius r, designed and operating respectively in the X-Band (9-11.5) GHz and C-Band (3.5-5.5) GHz. These filters consists of eight irises placed symmetrically respectively on standard rectangular waveguides WR90 and WR229 in which resonant irises are inserted.

The comparison between the numerical and electromagnetic results, which we obtained for the filters, constitutes a means of validation of computer simulation technology (CST) environment and Mician for the design of the other circuit elements in the various frequency bands. We observed excellent consistency between the simulation curves and those of the measurements. The results obtained are promising and pave the way for the use of these structures in the fields of telecommunications.

This paper presents a new approach of Forward-Backward Time-Stepping (FBTS)
utilizing Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method with Overset Grid Generation (OGG)
method to solve the inverse scattering problems for electromagnetic (EM) waves. The proposed
FDTD method is combined with OGG method to reduce the geometrically complex problem to a

system, thus, it provide an efficient approach to integrate with the FBTS technique. Here, the
characteristics of the EM waves are analyzed. For the research mentioned in this paper, the
‘measured’ signals are syntactic data generated by FDTD simulations. While the ‘simulated’
signals are the calculated data. The accuracy of the proposed approach is validated. Good
agreements are obtained between simulation data and measured data. The proposed approach
has the potential to provide useful quantitative information of the unknown object particularly for
shape reconstruction, object detection and others.

Nevertheless, this area of research faces many problems such as the low quality of the received images after their decompression, the limited number of reconstructed images at the base station, and the high-energy consumption used in the process of compression and decompression. In order to fix these problems, we proposed a compression method based on the classic discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Our method applies the wavelet compression technique multiple times on the same image. As a result, we found that the number of received images is higher than using the classic DWT. In addition, the quality of the received images is much higher compared to the standard DWT. Finally, the energy consumption is lower when we use our technique. Therefore, we can say that our proposed compression technique is more adapted to the WMSN environment.

The results obtained are promising and pave the way for the use of these structures in the fields of telecommunications.
Design of Linear Array Transducer Using Ultrasound Simulation Program Field-IIinventy
This document summarizes a study that used the ultrasound simulation program Field II to model and simulate the pressure field generated by a linear array transducer and its propagation through biological tissue. The study designed a 16-element linear array transducer with Field II and simulated its impulse response. It then propagated the acoustic field through a human kidney tissue and observed the pressure profile and beam pattern at the focal point. The study also compared the impulse response, pressure field, beam pattern and detected images produced by linear arrays with 32 elements versus 64 elements. The results demonstrated Field II's ability to simulate ultrasound transducers and propagate fields through tissue.
A New Approach for Solving Inverse Scattering Problems with Overset Grid Gene...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This paper presents a new approach of Forward-Backward Time-Stepping (FBTS)
utilizing Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method with Overset Grid Generation (OGG)
method to solve the inverse scattering problems for electromagnetic (EM) waves. The proposed
FDTD method is combined with OGG method to reduce the geometrically complex problem to a
simple set of grids. The grids can be modified easily without the need to regenerate the grid
system, thus, it provide an efficient approach to integrate with the FBTS technique. Here, the
characteristics of the EM waves are analyzed. For the research mentioned in this paper, the
‘measured’ signals are syntactic data generated by FDTD simulations. While the ‘simulated’
signals are the calculated data. The accuracy of the proposed approach is validated. Good
agreements are obtained between simulation data and measured data. The proposed approach
has the potential to provide useful quantitative information of the unknown object particularly for
shape reconstruction, object detection and others.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Definition:
Optical loss is the ‘reduction in intensity of light’ or reduction of optical
power as light propagates through a material or device.
It is usually expressed in units of decibels per unit length (dB/cm) or
decibels per unit distance (dB/m)
To numerically calculate optical loss, We can use the following formula:
Optical Loss (in dB) = -10log (Pout/Pin)
where Pout is the output optical power and Pin is the input optical power.
