An important parameter governing the sensitivity and accuracy of elemental analysis by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) or by X-ray emission spectroscopy is the signal/noise ratio of the characteristic signal.

Perceived valence, tension, and movement of harmonic musical intervals (from the unison to the octave presented in a low- and high-register) and standard noises (brown, pink, white, blue, purple) were assessed in two studies that differed in the crossmodal procedure by which tension and movement were rated: proprioceptive device or visual analog scale. Valence was evaluated in both studies with the visual analog scale. In a preliminary study, the proprioceptive device was calibrated with a psychophysical procedure. Roughness of the stimuli was included as covariate. Tension was perceived higher in dissonant intervals and in intervals presented in the high register. The higher the high-pitch energy content in the standard noise, the higher the perceived tension. The visual analog scale resulted in higher tension ratings than the proprioceptive device. Perception of movement was higher in dissonant intervals, in intervals in the high register, and in standard noises than in musical intervals. High-pitch spectrum noises were associated with more sense of movement than low-pitch spectrum noises. Consonant intervals and low-register intervals were evaluated as more pleasant than dissonant and high-register intervals. High-pitch spectrum purple and blue noises were evaluated as more unpleasant than low-pitch spectrum noises.

Abstract With the development of semiconductor technology and the increment quantity of metal layers in past few years, backside EFA (Electrical Failure Analysis) technology has become the dominant method. In this paper, abnormally high Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) signal captured by Electro-Optical Probing (EOP)/Laser Voltage Probing (LVP) from backside is shown and the cause of these phenomena are studied. Based on the real case collection, two kinds of failure mode are summarized, and simulated experiments are performed. The results indicate that when a current path from power to ground is formed, the high SNR signal can be captured at the transistor which was on this current path. It is helpful of this consequence for FA to identify the failure mode by high SNR signal.

Object. The authors report on a new head coil into which the Leksell aluminum localization frame can be easily and securely mounted. Mechanically, the head coil interferes little with the patient. Methods. The head coil, which is for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, is a 12-element quadrature transmitand-receive high-pass birdcage coil with a nominal operation frequency (63.86 MHz). The coil was built into a plastic housing. This new head coil minimizes patient motion and provides a 20% increase in signal/noise ratios compared with standard head coils. An MR image test phantom was mounted in the coil and this allowed quantification of image distortion due to inhomogeneities in the main magnetic field, nonlinearity in the gradient field, and paramagnetism of the aluminum headframe. There were no significant differences in geometric distortion between the new head coil and the standard coil. Conclusions. The new head coil has advantages for reducing patient movement artifacts and has a better signal/noise ratio with no reduction in geometric accuracy.
