Stable Periodic Motions of Inertia Wheel Pendulum via Virtual Holonomic Constraints

We present a new control strategy for an underactuated two-link robot, called inertia wheel pendulum. The system consists of a free planar rotational pendulum and a symmetric disk, attached to its end and directly controlled by a DC-motor. The goal is to create stable oscillations of the pendulum, which is not directly actuated. We exploit a recently proposed feedback control design strategy, base

On the radiation resistance for small capacitive dipole antennas

A relation between the radiation resistance and the quasi-static polarizability, input capacitance, and input inductance for small electric dipole antennas is investigated. The relation follows from the forward scattering sum rule and sum rules for the input impedance together with resonance models for the partial realized gain and the reflection coefficient.

Application of Laser Techniques for Combustion Studies

The aim for this work has been to increase the applicability of laser spectroscopy techniques for studies of combustion processes, both what regards in-flame experiments, exhaust-gas analysis and remote sensing of the atmosphere. Raman spectroscopy has been used for analysis of exhaust gases from flames, model fires of wood and for inflame measurements. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy CARS

Spike library based simulator for extracellular single unit neuronal signals

A well defined set of design criteria is of great importance in the process of designing brain machine interfaces (BMI) based on extracellular recordings with chronically implanted micro-electrode arrays in the central nervous system (CNS). In order to compare algorithms and evaluate their performance under various circumstances, ground truth about their input needs to be present. Obtaining ground

Computational heat transfer in research and design of heat exchangers

This paper gives a brief summary of computational methods in heat transfer equipment, i.e., CFD (computational fluid dynamics) methods for thermal problems, and turbulence modeling for single phase applications in the design, research and development of heat exchangers. Some examples for real heat exchangers are shown to demonstrate how CFD methods can be used as R & D tools. Nevertheless, lim
