The experimental optical cross-connect based on delivery and coupling switch features all-optical property. It consists of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, arrayedwaveguide gratings, optical switches and optical combiners. In 4 channel wavelength division multiplexing with 1.6 nm spacing, the difference in power level among channels for output signals from the optical cross-connect was within 2 dB.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for implementing a microstrip patch antenna with circular polarization characteristics through an asymmetric inset feed structure. The proposed method involves designing an antenna by taking advantage of the length difference of the asymmetric inset slots inserted into the antenna, as well as the lengths of additional slots incorporated into the design to achieve circular polarization characteristics. Using this approach, we designed and fabricated an antenna operating at 2.4 GHz in the S-band for satellite communication systems, utilizing a 1 mm thick FR-4 dielectric substrate. The measurement results confirmed a gain of 2dBi, an axial ratio of less than 3dB, and a reflection coefficient below -10dB in the frequency range of 2.35 to 2.43 GHz. Based on these results, it is expected that by employing the proposed method, circularly polarized antennas utilizing inset feeds can be realised, thereby making them applicable in small satellite communication systems and various wireless IoT environmental service applications that use the ISM band.

Consider the three-dimensional system of difference equations $x_{n+1}=\frac{{\prod_{j=0}^{k}}z_n-3j}{{\prod_{j=1}^{k}}x_n-(3j-1)\;\(a_n+b_n{\prod_{j=0}^{k}}z_n-3j\)}$, $y_{n+1}=\frac{{\prod_{j=0}^{k}}x_n-3j}{{\prod_{j=1}^{k}}y_n-(3j-1)\;\(c_n+d_n{\prod_{j=0}^{k}}x_n-3j\)}$, $z_{n+1}=\frac{{\prod_{j=0}^{k}}y_n-3j}{{\prod_{j=1}^{k}}z_n-(3j-1)\;\(e_n+f_n{\prod_{j=0}^{k}}y_n-3j\)}$, n ∈ ℕ₀, where k ∈ ℕ₀, the sequences $(a_n)_{n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$, $(b_n)_{n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$, $(c_n)_{n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$, $(d_n)_{n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$, $(e_n)_{n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$, $(f_n)_{n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$ and the initial values x_-3k, x_-3k+1, …, x₀, y_-3k, y_-3k+1, …, y₀, z_-3k, z_-3k+1, …, z₀ are real numbers. In this work, we give explicit formulas for the well defined solutions of the above system. Also, the forbidden set of solution of the system is found. For the constant case, a result on the existence of periodic solutions is provided and the asymptotic behavior of the solutions is investigated in detail.

Background and Objectives: In masking level difference (MLD), the masked detection threshold for a signal is determined as a function of the relative interaural differences between the signal and the masker. Study 1 analyzed the results of school-aged children with good school performance in the MLD test, and study 2 compared their results with those of a group of children with poor academic performance. Subjects and Methods: Study 1 was conducted with 47 school-aged children with good academic performance (GI) and study 2 was carried out with 32 school-aged children with poor academic performance (GII). The inclusion criteria adopted for both studies were hearing thresholds within normal limits in basic audiological evaluation. Study 1 also considered normal performance in the central auditory processing test battery and absence of auditory complaints and/or of attention, language or speech issues. The MLD test was administered with a pure pulsatile tone of 500 Hz, in a binaural mode and intensity of 50 dBSL, using a CD player and audiometer. Results: In study 1, no significant correlation was observed, considering the influence of the variables age and sex in relation to the results obtained in homophase (SoNo), antiphase (SπNo) and MLD threshold conditions. The final mean MLD threshold was 13.66 dB. In study 2, the variables did not influence the test performance either. There was a significant difference between test results in SπNo conditions of the two groups, while no differences were found both in SoNo conditions and the final result of MLD. Conclusions: In study 1, the cut-off criterion of school-aged children in the MLD test was 9.3 dB. The variables (sex and age) did not interfere with the MLD results. In study 2, school performance did not differ in the MLD results. GII group showed inferior results than GI group, only in SπNo condition.

In order to color analyze of in Farnsworth Test Panel D-15 using a Protan, Deutan and Tritan test, we introduced the CIE system so that measured the reflectance light spectrum intensity in the 380~780 nm wavelength regions. The color difference of Panel D-15 was depended on the intensity of reflectance ratio in the 400~450 nm, 500~600 nm and more than 650 nm wavelength regions. From the reflectance spectra, we obtained the tristimulus X, Y, Z values, the $L^*a^*b^*$ and $L^*ab$ values of the 3-Dimension CIELAB system in a complement plane and light-darkness axis, the $U^*V^*$ values and the x, y values of chromaticity coordinates.

Background: Dental procedures commonly involve the injection of local anesthetic agents, which causes apprehension in patients. The objective of dental practice is to provide painless treatment to the patient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in reducing the pain due to local anesthetic injection. Materials and Methods: A prospective, split-mouth study was conducted on 25 patients. In Condition A, LLLT was administered followed by the administration of a standard local anesthetic agent. Patients' perception of pain with use of LLLT was assessed based on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). In Condition B, LLLT was directed to the mucosa but not activated, followed by the administration of local anesthesia. VAS was used to assess the pain level without the use of LLLT. Results: Comparison between Condition A and Condition B was done. A P value < 0.001 was considered significant, indicating a definite statistical difference between the two conditions. Conclusion: In our study, we observed that LLLT reduced pain during injection of local anesthesia. Further multi-centric studies with a larger sample size and various modifications in the study design are required.

A novel instrumentation amplifier(IA) using positive polarity current-conveyor(CCII+) for electronic measurement systems with low cost, wideband, and gain control with wide range is designed. The IA consists of two CCII+, three resistor, and an operational amplifier(op-amp). The principal of the operating is that the difference of two input voltages applied into two CCII+ used voltage and current follower converts into same currents, and then these current drive resistor of (+) terminal and feedback resistor of op-amp to obtain output voltage. To verify operating principal of the IA, we designed the CCII+ and used commercial op-amp LF356. Simulation results show that voltage follower used CCII+ has offset voltage of 0.21mV at linear range of ${\pm}$4V. The IA had wide gain range from -20dB to 60dB by variation of only one resistor and -3dB frequency for the gain of 60dB was 400kHz. The IA also has merits without matching of external resistor and controllable offset voltage using the other resistor. The power dissipation of the IA is 130mW at supply voltage of ${\pm}$5V.
