Real filter based on Mellin radial harmonics for scale-invariant pattern recognition.
1994
Several theoretical and experimental studies are developed in order to simplify the construction of filters based on Mellin radial harmonics (MRH) for scale-invariant pattern recognition. A real filter based on MRH is designed. The impulse response of the filter is a hermitic function, obtained by a suitable modification of a MRH component. This real filter has the same scale invariance as the conventional complex MRH filters, with the main advantage of its simplicity. Both computer simulations and optical experiments are presented.
Method for determining the proper expansion center and order for Mellin radial harmonic filters
1993
Abstract A method to improve the behaviour of the Mellin radial harmonic (MRH) filters in scale invariant pattern recognition is presented. An algorithm has been introduced to obtain the proper expansion center and order of the MRH development of any object. The procedure consists of the suspression of the non-discriminant uniform background in the energy function of the target. Computer simulations are presented.
Measurement of Simplified Single- And Three-Phase Parameters for Harmonic Emission Assessment Based on IEEE 1459-2010
2021
This article investigates the feasibility of using a simplified approach, based on the measurement of power ratio parameters, for harmonic emissions assessment at the point of common coupling (PCC). The proposed approach comes from the common concept of power factor correction and the definitions of the IEEE Std. 1459-2010, where line utilization and harmonic pollution levels are evaluated by means of ratios between the power quantities of the apparent power decomposition. In addition to the IEEE Std. 1459–2010 indicators, in this article, the behavior is studied of additional parameters that are conceptually similar to those defined by the IEEE Std. 1459-2010. The suitability of such param…

2003
The nonlinear dielectric response of epitaxial heterostructures of relaxor ferroelectric PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 thin films was experimentally studied using digital Fourier analysis. The amplitudes and the phase angles of the dielectric harmonics were determined as a function of temperature and the amplitude of the sinusoidal ac field. The response of the films was reconstructed assuming a linear contribution of the film-electrode interface capacitance. In the films at low amplitudes of ac field, a glass-like behavior was identified by a maximum in the third-order nonlinear dielectric permittivity around the freezing temperature, accompanied by a square field dependence of the amplitudes of the odd …
The effect of interactions on Bose-Einstein condensation in a quasi two-dimensional harmonic trap
1999
A dilute bose gas in a quasi two-dimensional harmonic trap and interacting with a repulsive two-body zero-range potential of fixed coupling constant is considered. Using the Thomas-Fermi method, it is shown to remain in the same uncondensed phase as the temperature is lowered. Its density profile and energy are identical to that of an ideal gas obeying the fractional exclusion statistics of Haldane. PACS: ~03.75.Fi, 05.30.Jp, 67.40.Db, 05.30.-d
Quasi-Two-Dimensional Superfluid Fermionic Gases
2005
We study a quasi two-dimensional superfluid Fermi gas where the confinement in the third direction is due to a strong harmonic trapping. We investigate the behavior of such a system when the chemical potential is varied and find strong modifications of the superfluid properties due to the discrete harmonic oscillator states. We show that such quasi two-dimensional behavior can be created and observed with current experimental capabilities.
Replica field theory for anharmonic sound attenuation in glasses
2011
Abstract A saddle-point treatment of interacting phonons in a disordered environment is developed. In contrast to crystalline solids, anharmonic attenuation of density fluctuations becomes important in the hydrodynamic regime, due to a broken momentum conservation. The variance of the shear modulus Δ2 turns out to be the strength of the disorder enhanced phonon–phonon interaction. In the low-frequency regime (below the boson peak frequency) we obtain an Akhiezer-like sound attenuation law Γ ∝ Τω2. Together with the usual Rayleigh scattering mechanism this yields a crossover of the Brillouin linewidth from a ω2 to a ω4 regime. The crossover frequency ωc is fully determined by the boson peak …
Vortex rings in two-dimensional harmonic traps
2006
We use the configuration interaction technique to study vortex formation in rotating systems of interacting spinless fermions and bosons trapped in a two-dimensional harmonic potential. In the fermionic case, the vortices appear as holes in the Fermi sea and localize in rings. The yrast spectrum is dominated by rigid rotation of the vortex ring, showing periodic oscillations. The Bose system shows a similar yrast spectrum and vortex formation. This can be explained by a one-to-one correspondence of the fermion and boson many-particle configurations. A simple mean-field model can reproduce the oscillations in the yrast spectrum, but fails to explain the localization of vortices.
Nanoscale Heat Engine Beyond the Carnot Limit
2013
We consider a quantum Otto cycle for a time-dependent harmonic oscillator coupled to a squeezed thermal reservoir. We show that the efficiency at maximum power increases with the degree of squeezing, surpassing the standard Carnot limit and approaching unity exponentially for large squeezing parameters. We further propose an experimental scheme to implement such a model system by using a single trapped ion in a linear Paul trap with special geometry. Our analytical investigations are supported by Monte Carlo simulations that demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal. For realistic trap parameters, an increase of the efficiency at maximum power of up to a factor of 4 is reached, largely ex…
Coherent and squeezed vibrations for discrete variable harmonic oscillators
2009
In this work we study different types of coherent and squeezed states for the Charlier, Kravchuk and Meixner oscillators. We calculate the average values of different observables corresponding to the coherent states. We found that the coherent and squeezed states of the Kravchuk oscillator are unstable. There are also coherent and squeezed states that are similar to the coherent and squeezed states of the harmonic oscillator. We have introduced a discrete variable model for the biophoton coherent radiation, and the coherent thermal and squeezed thermal states. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.
