An iterative temporal registration algorithm is presented in this paper1 for registering 3D range images obtained from unmanned ground and aerial vehicles
We apply the elastic energy release rate (EERR) to identify the favored location ofquantum dot (QD) formation in the presense of a laterally or vertically
The fluid dynamics of channel geometries for liquid state materials characterization in microfluidic devices are investigated. A pressure driven microchannel
A phase-locked fiber laser-based supercontinuum source is presented. The linewidth of a single line of the IR frequency comb produced by fiber laser-based
