We examine the effect of phase distortion inherent in a spatial light modulator on the performance of an optical correlator. We examine such areas as input plane distortion, input and Fourier plane distortion, effect of phase mismatch between these planes, and the effect of additive white noise. When large distortions are present and the proper compensation is incorporated into the filter, we find a significant enhancement in performance in that the correlation response converges to a function and the SNR increases significantly. A theory is presented to explain this behavior.

Speech Enhancement for Cochlear Implant Recipients using Deep Complex Convolution Transformer with Frequency Transformation.

IEEE/ACM Trans Audio Speech Lang Process

The presence of background noise or competing talkers is one of the main communication challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users in speech understanding in naturalistic spaces. These external factors distort the time-frequency (T-F) content including magnitude spectrum and phase of speech signals. While most existing speech enhancement (SE) solutions focus solely on enhancing the magnitude response, recent research highlights the importance of phase in perceptual speech quality.

Bismuth ferrites, specifically perovskite-type BiFeO and mullite-type BiFeO, hold significant technological promise as catalysts, photovoltaics, and room-temperature multiferroics. However, challenges arise due to their frequent cocrystallization, particularly in the nanoregime, hindering the production of phase-pure materials. This study unveils a controlled sol-gel crystallization approach, elucidating the phase formation complexities in the bismuth ferrite oxide system by coupling thermochemical analysis and total scattering with pair distribution function analysis.

To further improve the leaching behavior of chromite in the submolten salt medium of NaOH-HO, a microwave roasting pretreatment for chromite is proposed in the present work. Effects of the roasting pretreatment modes and reaction parameters on the leaching rate of Cr were systematically investigated. The results showed that the leaching rate of Cr from the chromite ore could be greatly boosted after microwave roasting.

Hand-held robotic instruments enhance precision in microsurgery by mitigating physiological tremor in real time. Current tremor filtering algorithms in these instruments often employ nonlinear phase prefilters to isolate the tremor signal. However, these filters introduce phase distortion in the filtered tremor, compromising accuracy.

Motion-Compensated Multishot Pancreatic Diffusion-Weighted Imaging With Deep Learning-Based Denoising.

Invest Radiol

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (K.W., M.J.M., A.M.L., A.B.S., A.J.H., D.B.E., R.L.B.); Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA (K.W.); GE HealthCare, Houston, TX (X.W.); GE HealthCare, Boston, MA (A.G.); and GE HealthCare, Menlo Park, CA (P.L.).

Objectives: Pancreatic diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has numerous clinical applications, but conventional single-shot methods suffer from off resonance-induced artifacts like distortion and blurring while cardiovascular motion-induced phase inconsistency leads to quantitative errors and signal loss, limiting its utility. Multishot DWI (msDWI) offers reduced image distortion and blurring relative to single-shot methods but increases sensitivity to motion artifacts. Motion-compensated diffusion-encoding gradients (MCGs) reduce motion artifacts and could improve motion robustness of msDWI but come with the cost of extended echo time, further reducing signal.
