Flexible optical fiber probe for surface roughness evaluation of internal channels in additively manufactured components by Subbarao, Guru Prasad Arudi, Haridas, Aswin, Patinharekandy, Prabhathan, Kapur, Pulkit, Chan, Kelvin, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…However, being a stochastic process, there is minimal control over the surface quality and thus require adequate quality checks before implementation. In this context, this paper investigates a flexible optical fiber probe and speckle correlation measurements to quantitatively estimate the average surface roughness, Ra, of areas within internal channels. …”

Scheduled activity energy-aware distributed cluster- based routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks with non-uniform node distribution by Nokhanji, Nooshin

“…SA-EADC adds another phase as “sensor redundancy check and activation” to EADC. It identifies the redundant sensor nodes, whose sensing coverage area are also covered completely by their direct neighbors and turns off them. …”

Blind detection of interlever parameters for block and convolutional coded sequences by Liu, Xuezhe.

“…Channel encoding is implemented in most digital communications to combat transmission errors, which is achieved by adding additional parity check bits to the data stream. However, channel encoder will not be able to handle the effects of fading or burst errors. …”
