PAGE 298 A method for identifying the tau protein involved in Alzheimer's disease has been developed by researchers in France. An acoustic wave system is used to differentiate the concentration of tau protein solutions (30-480 µM) by measuring the viscoelastic properties (G’ and G”); this provides information on the different states of polymerisation of the tau protein. PAGE 351 Researchers from China have developed the first effective data imaging method using airborne strip-mode synthetic aperture ladar (SAL). It is based on subaperture phase gradient autofocus (PGA) and normalised cross correlation (NCC). SAL works at a wavelength 104–5 times shorter than synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and so can be used at a finer resolution. Acoustic wave sensor used to detect tau protein involved in Alzheimer's disease. PAGE 308 A dual-mode IO driver and termination scheme is proposed, the device can efficiently trade-off between power, swing and impedance control. The hybrid transmitter design allows for low-speed data transmission under 0.5Gb/s and high-speed transmission up to 3.4 Gb/s. Korean researchers fabricated a prototype in 45nm CMOS process with a total chip area of 0.022 mm2. First effective airborne synthetic aperture ladar (SAL) data imaging method. PAGE 314 A kinaesthetically guided approach to tele-operation of anthropomorphic robot hands is presented in research from India. The computationally lean grasp generation procedure seeks to represent individual grasp poses in terms of an ordered set of contact points on a virtual sphere imagined within the grasp enclosure. Efficient dual-mode IO driver and termination scheme. PAGE 353 A reconfigurable phase converter that allows frequency-switching has been fabricated by researchers in China. The length of the slot in the ground plane can be altered using PIN-diodes, which permits switching at 0.9GHz and 1.6GHz. The simple structure allows for ordinary microwave integrated circuit fabrication. The approach circumvents the dimensional complexities of the hand kinesiology Switchable frequency (0.9GHz and 1.6GHz) phase inverter.
