The performance of antennas can severely deteriorate in the presence of adjacent electrically-large scatterers. In this work, we use a conducting hollow cylinder to shield the scatterer. The cylinder is shelled with single layer dielectric…

In this chapter, we review some recent developments in the field of photonics: cloaking, whereby an object becomes invisible to an observer, and mirages, whereby an object looks like another one (say, of a different shape). Such optical…
Explicitly disentangling style and content in vision models remains challenging due to their semantic overlap and the subjectivity of human perception. Existing methods propose separation through generative or discriminative objectives, but…
