We present a design of experiments (DOE) technique for microwave/millimeter wave flip chip characterization and optimization. Two optimization approaches, signal bump misalignment and transmission line compensation, are combined together for optimal performance for high frequency operation. First, the design of experiments method is presented and its advantages are emphasized. Then, the two tec...

Correlation is a common technique for the detection of shifts. Its generalization to the multidimensional geometric correlation in Clifford algebras has been proven a useful tool for color image processing, because it additionally contains information about a rotational misalignment. But so far the exact correction of a three-dimensional outer rotation could only be achieved in certain special ...

While organisations address business-IT alignment achievement, they are continually suffering from misalignments. The paper deals with the concept of misalignment, with special attention to enterprise architecture (EA)based analytical potential. In this study an analytical solution is built to approach the topic of strategic alignment from an EA-based perspective. The study aims to accomplish a...

The efficiency of wireless power transfer is sensitive to the horizontal and vertical distances between the transmitter and receiver coils due to the magnetic coupling change. To address the output voltage variation and efficiency drop caused by misalignment, a uniform voltage gain frequency control is implemented to improve the power delivery and efficiency of wireless power transfer under mis...

This paper presents a failure analysis on a failed intake valve in a gasoline engine. During an endurance test, an intake valve was broken and caused some damages on the piston. Material examinations (by a light microscope and also a scanning electron microscope) were conducted on the fracture surface of the intake valve shaft. Results showed that no pores or defects could be observed and the m...

The aim of the present study was to analyse the forces released by passive stainless steel self-ligating brackets (SLBs) and by a non-conventional elastomeric ligature-bracket system on conventional brackets ([slide ligatures on conventional brackets (SLCB)]) when compared with conventional elastomeric ligatures on conventional brackets (CLCB) during the alignment of apically or buccally malpos...

The supplementary material details the compensation ofsmall misalignment, caused by slight error in the camerapose. Compensating For Pose ErrorThere are small errors in φC(t). An error in φC(t) leads toa small misalignment during texture mapping in Eqs. (31) in[1]. To counter misalignment, phase correlation [2] is usedto perform local fine alignment of ρ̂(xtexture, t)...

This paper proposes an autonomous coil alignment system (ACAS) for electric vehicles (EVs) with dynamic wireless charging (DWC) to mitigate the reduction in received power caused by lateral misalignment between the source and load coils. The key component of the ACAS is a novel sensor coil design, which can detect the load coil’s left or right position relative to the source coil by observing t...

Aligning business and information systems has been in the scope of research initiatives from decades. Recently, some efforts emerged with a complementary approach focused on the misalignments study. This paper proposes a misalignment approach based on the medical science perspective for nomenclature, classification and detection of misalignments. We show that a metaphor between disease and misa...

Transcription errors by T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) may occur as the result of a mechanism in which the template base two positions downstream of the 3' end of the RNA (the TSn+1 base) is utilized during two consecutive nucleotide-addition cycles. In the first cycle, misalignment of the template strand leads to incorporation of a nucleotide that is complementary to the TSn+1 base. In the second cy...
