A resonance in the layered stracture occurs when echoes between two boundaries travel back and forth due to differences in acoustic impedances at the boundaries. For multi-layer structures a number of resonances can be observed depending on their geometry and condition. For each particular defect-free structure and given transducer we obtain a characteristic resonance pattern, an ultrasonic signature, which can be used as a reference. 

Multi-layered Perceptrons As might be expected, additioneil layers of neurons makes the analysis of the pattern capacity of multi-layered perceptrons more difficult. 

The theory of composite membranes with one active layer whose permeability varies with solute concentration is developed. The case of exponential dependence of permeability on concentration is treated in detail, but the case of a general dependence follows the same pattern and leads to the treatment of multi-layered membranes. 

KNN)13 14 and potential function methods (PFMs).15,16 Modeling methods establish volumes in the pattern space with different bounds for each class. The bounds can be based on correlation coefficients, distances (e.g. the Euclidian distance in the Pattern Recognition by Independent Multicategory Analysis methods [PRIMA]17 or the Mahalanobis distance in the Unequal [UNEQ] method18), the residual variance19,20 or supervised artificial neural networks (e.g. in the Multi-layer Perception21). 

When the multi-lamellae pattern is vertical to the feed reservoir layers, this is named vertical multi-laminating. When both are oriented in the same way, this is the horizontal variant... 

Flow patterns in concentrically multi-layered droplet mixers... 

M 54] [P 48] Separation-layer micro mixers with concentric multi-layered outlets can be operated in a droplet-forming mode [53] If fast precipitating solutions are contacted in this way with a solvent layer for initial separation, the part of the droplet close to the tube outlets remains transparent, which demonstrates that a tri-layered system still exists with the two reacting solutions not being intermixed, as evidenced by calcium carbonate formation in aqueous solutions as described in [39,136], At the droplet end cap the layers collide and circulation flow sets in. As a result, mixing is achieved and precipitation occurs. The circulation patterns are visualized by the particle trajectories.

One problem which arises when a detector array is attached to the face of a multi-layer module is the inability of the detector material to absorb forces generated by a mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion between the detector array material and the module. Furthermore, it is difficult to isolate a fault that may be attributable to either the detector elements, module wiring or processing elements. A buffer board is introduced in WO-A-8807764 (Grumman Aerospace Corporation, USA, 06.10.88) which facilitates electrical communication between the detector elements and the module and conductive patterns formed on the module layers, and also enhances the structural characteristics and separate testability of the system components.

The X-ray diffraction pattern of an 11-layer film of the mixed-stack CT complex of octadecyl-TCNQ doped with (Me)2P revealed that the film has a well-ordered layered structure in which the D and A are highly oriented [28], A d value of 3.3 nm indicates that each layer in the CT film contains biomole-cular layers of alternately stacked D and A. A comparison of the IR transmission and RA spectra of the one-layer mixed-stack CT films suggested that both chromophoric planes of D and A and their long molecular axes are preferentially perpendicular to the substrate surface, while the hydrocarbon chains are parallel to it [28]. In the case of the multi-layer CT films, the D and A planes were found to be slightly tilted with respect to the surface normal and the... 

Fig. 11(a) shows the AFM image of an 11-layer mixed-stack CT film of octadecyl-TCNQ and (Me)2P scanned at room temperature with a scan area of 2x2 pm2 [29]. It can be seen from the image that the CT film consists of platelet microcrystal domains of a few micrometers in size in which a multi-layered structure with many steps is observed. An analysis of the cross-sectional profile revealed that the layered platelet microcrystal domains have a step of 3.3 nm thickness [29]. This is in good agreement with the d value measured by the X-ray diffraction method [28]. Therefore, it seemed that the X-ray diffraction peaks originate from the multi-layered structure inside the domains. Each layer in the domains apparently consists of biomolecular layers of octadecyl-TCNQ and (Me)2P because the layer thickness of 3.3 nm is larger than the molecular length (3.0nm) of octadecyl-TCNQ. The biomolecular layer structure also supports that the CT film is in a mixed-stack pattern.

The data obtained permitted us to propose the model of atomic arrangement of the film structure, which is similar to that published before [2]. The structure shown in Figure 11.1(g) is multi-layered with each layer consisting of carbon atom chains in the sp -hybridization state. These chains are densely packed into a hexagonal lattice. According to the diffraction pattern and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images the distance between the chains is in the range of 0.490 to 0.503 nm. 

Multi-layer feedforward networks contain an input layer connected to one or more layers of hidden neurons (hidden units) and an output layer (Figure 3.5(b)). The hidden units internally transform the data representation to extract higher-order statistics. The input signals are applied to the neurons in the first hidden layer, the output signals of that layer are used as inputs to the next layer, and so on for the rest of the network. The output signals of the neurons in the output layer reflect the overall response of the network to the activation pattern supplied by the source nodes in the input layer. This type of network is especially useful for pattern association (i.e., mapping input vectors to output vectors).
