We performed a retrospective study of 26 patients with acoustic tumors and 26 patients with otologically diagnosed cochlear pathology to determine the sensitivity (hit rate), specificity (false-alarm rate), and efficiency of six auditory brainstem response indices. In addition, a utility value was determined for each of these six indices. The I–V interwave interval, the interaural latency difference, and the absolute latency of wave V provided the highest hit rates, the best A’ values and good utility. The V/I amplitude ratio index provided high specificity but low sensitivity scores. In regard to sensitivity and specificity, using the combination of two indices provided little overall improvement over the best one-index measures.

This paper presents a new design of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based low-g accelerometer utilizing mode-localization effect in the three degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) weakly coupled MEMS resonators. Two sets of the 3-DoF mechanically coupled resonators are used on either side of the single proof mass and difference in the amplitude ratio of two resonator sets is considered as an output metric for the input acceleration measurement. The proof mass is electrostatically coupled to the perturbation resonators and for the sensitivity and input dynamic range tuning of MEMS accelerometer, electrostatic electrodes are used with each resonator in two sets of 3-DoF coupled resonators. The MEMS accelerometer is designed considering the foundry process constraints of silicon-on-insulator multi-user MEMS processes (SOIMUMPs). The performance of the MEMS accelerometer is analyzed through finite-element-method (FEM) based simulations. The sensitivity of the MEMS accelerometer in terms of amplitude ratio difference is obtained as 10.61/g for an input acceleration range of ±2 g with thermomechanical noise based resolution of 0.22 and nonlinearity less than 0.5%.

AbstractIn the article, the effects of the thermal viscosity and magnetohydrodynamic on the peristalsis of nanofluid are analyzed. The dominant neutralization is deduced through long wavelength approximation. The analytical solution of velocity and temperature is extracted by using steady perturbation. The pressure gradient and friction forces are obtained. Numerical results are calculated and contrasted with the debated theoretical results. These results are calculated for various values of Hartmann number, variable viscosity parameter and amplitude ratio. It is observed that the pressure gradient is reduced with an increase in the thermal viscosity parameter and that the Hartmann number enhances the pressure difference.

Cross-eye gain in cross-eye jamming systems is highly dependent on amplitude ratio and the phase difference between jammer antennas. It is well known that cross-eye jamming is most effective for the amplitude ratio of unity and phase difference of 180 degrees. It is assumed that the instabilities in the amplitude ratio and phase difference can be modeled as zero-mean Gaussian random variables. In this paper, we not only quantitatively analyze the effect of amplitude ratio instability and phase difference instability on performance degradation in terms of reduction in cross-eye gain but also proceed with analytical performance analysis based on the first order and second-order Taylor expansion.
