Integral imaging (InIm) working with a pixelated device (e.g., a display panel) and a microlens array (MLA) suffers from low spatial resolution because of a significant trade-off between the spatial and angular resolution. The system bandwidth is presumed to be limited by the Nyquist frequency set by the pixel pitch. This study demonstrates that InIm intrinsically works in an incoherent synthetic aperture (ISA) manner with unexploited resolution capabilities. The sampling shifts between lenslets can be controlled and utilized to construct "computational galvos" to introduce varying aliasing; as a result, the Nyquist frequency is broken for optical super-resolution (SR). In particular, an InIm system can be configured for an N-fold oversampling rate with N lenslets. Furthermore, in an InIm display, the fill factor of a pixel's emitting area is always lower than 100%, so the bandwidth limit set by the pixel shape, i.e., two times the Nyquist frequency, is loosened. An InIm display prototype was built with an oversampling rate of four and a pixel fill factor of 75%. In the experiment, the proposed SR method achieved a 2.12 times resolution without dynamic devices or time-multiplexing.

This paper introduces a novel contactless single-chip detector that utilizes impedance-to-digital conversion technology to measure impedance in the microfluidic channel or capillary format analytical device. The detector is designed to operate similarly to capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detectors for capillary electrophoresis or chromatography but with the added capability of performing frequency sweeps up to 200 kHz. At each recorded data point, impedance and phase-shift data can be extracted, which can be used to generate impedance versus frequency plots, or phase-shift versus frequency plots.

It is well known that the sedimentary rock record is both incomplete and biased by spatially highly variable rates of sedimentation. Without absolute age constraints of sufficient resolution, the temporal correlation of spatially disjunct records is therefore problematic and uncertain, but these effects have rarely been analysed quantitatively using signal processing methods. Here we use a computational process model to illustrate and analyse how spatial and temporal geochemical records can be biased by the inherent, heterogenous processes of marine sedimentation and preservation.

For direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in the low-frequency range, we improve spatial resolution using generalized frequency-sum (gFS) beamforming with the Qth order frequency-sum autoproduct. The order Q does not exceed the maximum value, determined by the criteria that the sum of frequencies used to create the autoproduct must be less than the array's spatial Nyquist frequency. Unlike other high-resolution beamformers, gFS maintains stable performance even with a single snapshot and is unaffected by the coherence of steering vectors.

In this paper, we propose a novel optimization approach to designing wideband infinite impulse response (IIR) digital fractional order differentiators (DFODs) with improved accuracy at low frequency bands. In the new method, the objective function is formulated as an optimization problem with two tuning parameters to control the error distribution over frequencies. The gradient based optimizer (GBO) is effectively employed on the proposed objective function.

Introduction: Anticoagulants (AC) are associated with epistaxis in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a treatment that allows AF patients to stop AC. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk of developing epistaxis following LAAO versus direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) and warfarin.
