Modeling of plasma motion in a toroidal solenoid by Tu, Yuqiang.

“…Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc (FCVA) deposition technique has received extensive attention recently due to its unique feature: vacuum arc is generated at one end of a toroidal solenoid filter, in which those ions and electrons in the arc follow the force line of the magnetic field and pass through, while those neutral particles moving in straight lines are filtered away, and a "purified" plasma is obtained at the other end. …”

Bit-error rate simulation for frequency-hopped multiple-access systems over fading channels by Le, Thi Ngoc Anh.

“…In this report, bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a fast frequency-hopped binary frequency-shift-keying (FFH/BFSK) system using diversity-combining over multiple-access interference (MAI), partial-band jamming (PBJ), additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels is presented. Five diversity-combining methods utilized in BER simulation to counter MAI and PBJ effects are square-law linear combining, product combining, hard-decision majority-vote (HDMV), self-normalizing and clipper receivers.…”
