Shift multiplexing is a holographic recording method that uses a spherical reference wave. We extend the principle to a thin slab of holographic material that acts as a waveguide. Total internal reflection folds the reference spherical beam in one dimensio ...
In this paper we develop a Bethe approximation, based on the cluster variation method, which is apt to study lattice models of branched polymers. We show that the method is extremely accurate in cases where exact results are known as, for instance, in the ...
The paper presents a new method for the automatic monitoring of bridges deformations. Based on the use of electronic high precision inclinometers, this method permits to accurately reconstruct the deflected shape of the bridge and to follow its long-term e ...

The authors present a method for generating conversations between human-like agents and this will be done by proposing specific parameters for inter-agent messages with an approximation of virtual sound propagation. We will then be able to simulate appropr ...
In this paper, we present a method to improve video OCR with multiple character hypotheses. The text regions in video need to be binarized before work as the input of current OCR system. Tranditional binarization do not use any structural information about ...
Endosseous implant to be applied to a human or animal bone, said implant having a smooth or rough surface texture and wherein said surface has been treated with at least one organic compound carrying at least one phosphonic acid group or a salt thereof and ...

Many laboratory studies have shown the beneficial effects of weld improvement methods on the fatigue strength of welded details. However, no structural codes systematically include weld improvement methods in detail classification. The purpose of this pape ...
A method and a microscopy imaging apparatus for generating an optically sectioned image of a specimen are provided. The method comprises the steps of:illuminating the specimen with a modulating, spatially periodic illumination pattern; imaging said specime ...
Catalysts immobilised in ionic liquids have been analysed using electrospray ionisation ion trap mass spectrometry, which allows identification of the catalyst without contamination from the ionic liquid; additionally, a new ionic liquid containing the Mon ...
The invention teaches grayscale specific character outline modification techniques for synthesizing contrast controlled grayscale pixmap characters of improved appearance at any resolution and size. In addition, methods for computing the visually optimal s ...
