Flat loudspeakers, flat video and 3-dimensional illusions... a requiem to myth of Flatmando?
نویسنده
چکیده
Once upon a time orthodox doctrines proclaimed a flat earth positioned at the focus of the universe. But Galileo shifted opinion in favour of a spherical geometry and with Newton, a better understanding of celestial dynamics emerged in the late 20 century. Yet as we approach the new millennium flatness returns, poised to transform the sociology of macro audio-video systems and economics towards a new paradigm. Will the new prophets be Azima, Stuart and Yamamoto with viaudiophiles worshipping in temples of NXT, Meridian and Pioneer? And will the technologies of Plasmatron, DVD, MLP and DTS herald a radical orientation to mass entertainment and communication?

Low dimensional flat manifolds with some classes of Finsler metric
Flat Riemannian manifolds are (up to isometry) quotient spaces of the Euclidean space R^n over a Bieberbach group and there are an exact classification of of them in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this paper, two classes of flat Finslerian manifolds are stuided and classified in dimensions 2 and 3.
متن کاملA numerical study of droplet deformation in a flat funnelform microchannel
Motivated by recent reported experiments, droplet deformation in a flat funnelform diverging microfluidic channel has been numerically studied. The structure of our microchannel is composed of two consecutive elements including a straight channel and a diverging channel. In this work, instead of solving the 3D Stokes equation, we solve a depth-averaged problem which is labeled two-dimensional p...
متن کاملModeling and Experimental Study of Carbon Dioxide Absorption in a Flat Sheet Membrane Contactor
comIn the present study, CO2 removal from natural gas stream has been studied using a flat sheet membrane contactor. A three dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the process. The model considers the transport of a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide and methane through a flat sheet membrane contactor module. The model is based on the non-wetted mode of operation, in which t...
متن کاملFluid Flow and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids over a Flat Plate with Conjugate Heat Transfer
The falling and settling of solid particles in gases and liquids is a natural phenomenon happens in many industrial processes. This phenomenon has altered pure forced convection to a combination of heat conduction and heat convection in a flow over a plate. In this paper, the coupling of conduction (inside the plate) and forced convection of a non-homogeneous nanofluid flow (over a flat plate) ...
متن کاملAnalyzing Effect of Friction on Spread and Budge in Flat Rolling by FEM Method
In this research a final element model for simulating three dimensional deformation in rolling of flat product is modeling in ABAQUS and further developed to study the frictional effects on spread and bulge. To predict the magnitude of bulging , the rolling process is approximated by successive forging steps. The elongation or the average spread at each step from the previous calculations are u...
