摘要:
A method for actively suspending a real plant in a vehicle includes modifying a control signal on the basis of a difference between a property of the real plant, as indicated by the response of the real plant to the control signal, and a property of a nominal plant.

An apparatus has an active suspension including an electromagnetic actuator coupled to a plant in a vehicle. A force bias eliminator is coupled to the plant for causing the actuator to experience a zero-mean load, and a vibration isolation block generates a control signal based on the response of a nominal plant to measured disturbances of the actively suspended plant. A compensation system modifies the control signal in response to a difference between the response of the nominal plant to the control signal and a measured response of the actively-suspended plant to the control signal.

摘要:
An apparatus includes a housing. A waveguide is located within the housing. The waveguide includes a first subsection that bends around a first axis and has a first cross-sectional area with an aspect ratio that is substantially different from unity. A second subsection bends around a second axis that is non-parallel to the first axis and includes a second cross-sectional area with an aspect ratio that is substantially different from unity. A third subsection acoustically couples the first subsection to the second subsection. The third subsection includes a third cross-sectional area with an aspect ratio that varies between the first aspect ratio and the second aspect ratio.

A load is powered by a power source and a capacitive element in series such that the voltage provided to the load is the sum of the voltages of the power source and the capacitive element. A power converter imposing a limit on a flow of current through at least a portion of the power converter is coupled to the power source and the capacitive element, and selectively causes the capacitive element to either be charged or to discharge depending on the amount of current drawn by the load. As the capacitor discharges, the power source is permitted to supply a relatively higher amount of current to the load.

摘要:
A method and system for probing a volume of material by detecting local conductivity in the material using microwave radiation. The probed volume of material is exposed to microwave radiation of a wavelength selected to excite the carriers of electrical current and induce localized heating in regions of the volume of material which is an electronic material or a device. A thermographic imaging system detects size and distribution of the locally heated regions, and a processing system determines a selected property of the material by analyzing the size and distribution of the locally heated regions. The thermographic imaging system can be an infra-red imaging system which detects infra-red radiation emitted from the locally heated region, or it can be a system which deposits a thermally sensitive film onto a surface of the material and detects thermally induced changes in the deposited film caused by the transferred heat. The testing system can be also used in conjunction with a light source to probe distribution of photoexcited carriers, or with an electronic testing system to examine local conductivity and performance of devices in an active or passive state.
