Multi-Frequency Tracking via Group-Sparse Optimal Transport

Isabel Haasler

In this letter, we introduce an optimal transport framework for inferring power distributions over both spatial location and temporal frequency. Recently, it has been shown that optimal transport is a powerful tool for estimating spatial spectra that chang ...

Mechanism balancing taxonomy

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans

The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the elimination of the shaking forces and moments exported onto their supporting structure or ...

Dynamic behavior of exposed geomembrane systems in pressure waterways

Giovanni De Cesare, Samuel Luke Vorlet, Roberto Proença Seixas

Geomembrane systems have been used in dams and reservoirs as rehabilitation technology since several decades and are now used worldwide. They act as impervious layer to prevent and mitigate water leakage and damage to structures. They meet the needs of man ...

Rock-Flow Cell Parameters Evaluation Using Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry

Giovanni De Cesare, Javier Neves da Silva, Andre Luis Stakowian

This work presents a study of two-phase flow generated inside a rock-flow cell setup. It is characterized by a pipe section filled with fluid (oil in our studies) that is put into oscillation around its mass centre by an electric motor. This type of appara ...

Methods for Calibrating the Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance: Frequency to Mass and Compensation for Viscous Load

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

The main output from an Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance is a frequency shift. This note describes how to separate the mass- and viscous load contributions to this shift by a calibration procedure. The mass calibration is made by electroplating ...

Strength and timing of primary and secondary vortices generated by a rotating plate

Karen Ann J Mulleners, Diego Francescangeli

Accurate predictions of how vortices grow, evolve, and separate from aerodynamic objects are desirable for various applications ranging from autonomous aerial vehicles to wind turbines. Here, we present an experimental characterisation of the formation pro ...

Step Change Detection for Improved ROCOF Evaluation of Power System Waveforms

Mario Paolone, Asja Derviskadic, Alexandra Cameron Karpilow, Guglielmo Frigo

In the analysis of power grid waveforms, the presence of amplitude or phase steps can disrupt the estimation of frequency and rate-of-change-of-frequency (ROCOF). Standard methods based on phasor-models fail in the extraction of signal parameters during th ...

Optical measurement method for mechanical time base characterization

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

The recent adoption of silicon components by the mechanical watch industry has triggered the search for new time bases to advantageously replace the traditional balance and hairspring oscillator. In particular, flexure-based oscillators manufactured in sil ...

Molecular motor crossing the frontier of classical to quantum tunneling motion

Harald Brune, Roland Widmer, Jan Prinz, Samuel Thomas Stolz

The reliability by which molecular motor proteins convert undirected energy input into directed motion or transport has inspired the design of innumerable artificial molecular motors. We have realized and investigated an artificial molecular motor applying ...

Statically and dynamically balanced oscillator based on Watt's linkage

Simon Nessim Henein, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Ilan Vardi

We present a new mechanical oscillator architecture that can be made insensitive to linear and angular accelerations while keeping constant oscillation frequency. The oscillator has the kinematics of a Watt linkage, so we call it a Watt oscillator. In orde ...

Effect of periodic gas-puffs on drift-tearing modes in ADITYA/ADITYA-U tokamak discharges

Harshita Raj, Abhijit Sen

The effect of a periodic train of short gas-puff pulses on the rotation frequency and amplitude of drift-tearing modes has been studied in ADITYA/ADITYA-U tokamak. The short gas puffs, injecting approximately similar to 10(17)-10(18) molecules of fuel gas ...

A hybrid control strategy for force and precise end effector positioning of a twisted string actuator

Jamie Paik, Andres San Millan Rodriguez

We propose a new control approach for the twisted string actuation (TSA) system; a hybrid control scheme consisting of two nested loops, considering the motor angle and the axial force at the clamping point of the actuator as the system outputs. We show th ...

From Polarizability to Effective Permittivity of Time-Varying Materials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Theodoros Koutserimpas, Mohammad Sajjad Mirmoosa

In this talk, we describe excitation of time-varying dipolar particles (time-modulated meta-atoms) by external time-varying fields from a nonstationary and causal perspective. For a time-harmonic excitation, we introduce a complex-valued function, called t ...
