Low depth carry lookahead addition using charge recycling threshold logic (2002)

Peter Celinski, Said Al-sarawi, Derek Abbott, Centre High, Performance Integrated

The main result of this paper is the development of a low depth carry lookahead addition technique based on threshold logic. Two such adders are designed using the recently proposed charge recycling...

De-noising techniques for terahertz responses of biological samples (2001)

Ferguson, B. S., Abbott, Derek

Signal processing techniques may be used to improve the speed, resolution and noise robustness of pulsed terahertz (T-ray) imaging systems. Such systems have a wide range of applications and much...

Motion detection and stochastic resonance in noisy environments (2001)

Harmer, G. P., Abbott, Derek

Several motion detection schemes are considered and their responses to noisy signals investigated. The schemes include the Reichardt correlation detector, shunting inhibition and the Horridge...

Optimal wavelet denoising for phonocardiograms (2001)

Messer, S. R., Agzarian, J., Abbott, Derek

Phonocardiograms (PCGs), recordings of heart sounds, have many advantages over traditional auscultation in that they may be replayed and analysed for spectral and frequency information. PCG is not a...

Noninvasive Cardiac Flow Assessment Using High Speed Magnetic Resonance Fluid Motion Tracking

Wong, Kelvin Kian Loong, Kelso, Richard Malcolm, Worthley, Stephen Grant, Sanders, Prashanthan, Mazumdar, Jagannath, Abbott, Derek

Cardiovascular diseases can be diagnosed by assessing abnormal flow behavior in the heart. We introduce, for the first time, a magnetic resonance imaging-based diagnostic that produces sectional flow...

What Is Stochastic Resonance? Definitions, Misconceptions, Debates, and Its Relevance to Biology

McDonnell, Mark D., Abbott, Derek

Stochastic resonance is said to be observed when increases in levels of unpredictable fluctuations—e.g., random noise—cause an increase in a metric of the quality of signal transmission or...
