چکیده
Sensor misalignment is often a key consideration for high performance motion control systems that use MEMS inertial measurement units (IMUs) in their feedback loops. For the gyroscopes in the IMU, sensor misalignment describes the angular difference between each gyroscope’s axis of rotation and the system defined inertial reference frame, also known as the global frame. Managing the impact that misalignment has on sensor accuracy can require unique packaging, special assembly processes, or even complex inertial testing in the final configuration. All of these things can have a major impact on important project management metrics such as schedule, investment, and the total cost associated with the IMU in each system. Therefore, sensor alignment is a metric that warrants consideration during early stages of the design cycle, while there is time to define the system architecture around the most efficient solution. After all, nobody wants to burn through 80% of their project schedule and budget to find out that their inexpensive sensor requires hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars in unexpected cost adders to meet nonnegotiable deliverables to their end users. Ouch!

Time interleaving is a technique that allows the use of multiple identical analog-to-digital converters1 (ADCs) to process regular sample data series at a faster rate than the operating sample rate of each individual data converter. In very simple terms, time interleaving (IL) consists of time multiplexing a parallel array of M identical ADCs, as shown in Figure 1, to achieve a higher net sampl...

Used in a wide range of industrial, automotive, and commercial applications, electric motors are controlled by drives that vary the electrical input power to control the torque, speed, and position. High-performance motor drives can increase efficiency and deliver faster, more accurate control. Advanced motor-control systems combine control algorithms, industrial networks, and user interfaces, ...

Cognitive theories of dialogue hold that entrainment, the automatic alignment between dialogue partners at many levels of linguistic representation, is key to facilitating both production and comprehension in dialogue. In this paper we examine novel types of entrainment in two corpora—Switchboard and the Columbia Games corpus. We examine entrainment in use of high-frequency words (the most comm...
