History, Principle and Techniques for Waveform Optimization in External Defibrillations
Authors: Changlin Yin, Bihua Chen, Lei Gao and Yongqin LiCardiac defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical current to the fibrillating heart with the aid of a device named defibrillator. Defibrillation waveform, which is the temporal pattern of its amplitude measured by voltage or current, is one of the principle determinants of defibrillation efficacy. The purpose for the optimization of the waveform is to improve the defibrillation efficacy while de Read More

Radar Cross Section Identification of Air Targets using the Cosine Transform and Neural Networks
Authors: Mustafa Emre Aydemir and Ersin GoseTarget identification has always been as important as the radar itself. This paper presents an innovative approach to the problem of aircraft identification from its radar cross section. Radar cross section (RCS) data are passed through Discrete Cosine Transform. The Cosine Transform extracts the dominant features of the data. This provides compression of large amounts of RCS information into much smaller sizes of si Read More
