We have investigated numerically a narrowband near unity mid-infrared absorber based on a periodic array of gold split cross antenna backed by a dielectric spacer and a gold backmirror. We systematically studied the spectral dependence on the antenna parameters and explored the optimized parameters for nanofabrication. The optimized structure has a linewidth of 39nm at 3.17µm and the peak absorption...
Dempster-Shafer Theory has been extensively employed in the field of information fusion due to its impressive capability to cope with uncertain information. But when it deals with completely conflictive evidences or highly conflictive evidences, the phenomenon of counter intuition will occur. In this paper, shortcomings of the commonly accepted measure of conflict are analyzed and to avoid the wrong...
This paper reports a novel method for passive DC current sensing without using a cord separator. In this method, a piezoelectric thin-film cantilever with a micro-magnet on its end is positioned near a power cord. The DC current in the power cord induces a magnetic field, which generates a magnetic force acting on the micro-magnet. Consequently, the piezoelectric cantilever is bent and induces an...
With the increase in GPS-enabled devices, socialmedia sites, such as Twitter, are quickly becoming a primeoutlet for timely geo-spatial data. Such data can be leveragedto aid in emergency response planning and recovery operations. Unfortunately, the information overload poses significantdifficulty to the quick discovery and identification ofemergency situation areas. The system tackles this challengeby...
There are many applications where multiple data sources, each with its own features, are integrated in order to perform an inference task in an optimal way. Researchers have shown that for many tasks like webpage classification, image classification, and pattern recognition, combining data from multiple information sources yields significantly better results than using a single source. In these tasks...
