A Demodulation Scheme Based on Measuring Interference Fringe Visibility With a Highly Birefringent Fiber Based Michelson Interferometer

We propose a novel demodulation scheme based on measuring interference fringe visibility and demonstrate it using a typical Michelson interferometer (MI) configuration.The key component to achieve the scheme is a section of highly birefringent fiber (HBF) spliced into the sensing arm to function as the sensing element.The optical path difference (O

A positive complement dependent cytotoxicity immunoglobulin G crossmatch due to auto-antibodies with a negative luminex bead assays in a renal transplant recipient: A Diagnostic dilemma

Transplant recipients are always Fruit Bowls at a risk of developing anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies due to prior sensitizing events such as blood transfusions, multiple pregnancies, or transplantation.Unexpected positive outcomes can be seen in complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) based assays due to underlying autoimmune disorder
