A concept of secret sharing scheme with the function of assignment is proposed. It provides great capabilities for many practical applications. In this scheme, the dealer can randomly assign one or more than one participant to get the secret at any time, but these participants can get nothing about ...

A new deghosting method based on the generalized triangulation is presented. First, two intersection points corresponding to the emitter position are obtained by utilizing two azimuth angles and two elevation angles from two jammed 3-D radars (or 2-D passive sensors). Then, hypothesis testing based ...

Mechanical failure modes leading to cracks or breeches in proton exchange membrane fuel cells are driven by mechanical forces associated with swelling from water uptake and shrinkage from dehumidification. To determine the magnitude of compressive mechanical stress imposed by water swelling in a pro...

Tangible augmented reality (TAR) technology opens a novel realm which integrates the computergenerated elements into the real word. Its applications into design education have been explored with a limitation to this entire area. TAR offers an innovative learning space by merging digital learning mat...

A new method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) target recognition is proposed. This method is accomplished via the combination of active contour without edges, Hu invariant moments and support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Image segmentation is performed by using active contour without edges. Th...
