Within a certain range ofambient illumination b-waves elicited by red (695 nm) test flashes against dimmer backgroundlights were smaller in size than against brighter ones. Accordingly, incremental thresholdsfor red flashes decreased as the intensity of background lights increased within this intensityrange. The results suggest that cone pathways may be suppressed by rods in darkness anddim illumination. The phenomenon was absent for photoreceptor potentials(PⅢ components),indicating that the rod-cone interaction occurs in second-order retinal neurons.展开更多

To use commonly wideband linear array with tapped delay line (TDL) structure and complex weights, the FIB design is provided according to the rule of minimizing the sidelobe level of the beampattern at the reference frequency while keeping the distortionless response constraint in the mainlobe direction at the reference frequency, the norm constraint of the weight vector and the amplitude constraint of the averaged spatial response variation (SRV). This kind of beamformer design problem can be solved with the interior-point method after being converted to the form of standard second order cone programming (SOCP). The computer simulations are presented which illustrate the effectiveness of our FIB design method for the wideband linear array with TDL structure and complex weights.展开更多
