We propose a novel method for pull-in analysis in electrostatic actuation. In this method, pull-in angle can be found once the capacitance of electrodes is calculated as a function of rotation angle. This is based on our theory, which is that the pull-in angle only depends on the capacitance but not on spring constants or applied voltage. The theory is derived analytically and its limit of appl...

In this paper, an improved azimuth angle estimation method with a single acoustic vector sensor (AVS) is proposed based on matched filtering theory. The proposed method is mainly applied in an active sonar detection system. According to the conventional passive method based on complex acoustic intensity measurement, the mathematical and physical model of this proposed method is described in det...

one of the main goals of interpretation of gravity data is to detect location and edges of the anomalies. edge detection of gravity anomalies is carried out by different methods. terracing of the data is one of the approaches that help the interpreter to achieve appropriate results of edge detection. this goal becomes a complex task when the gravity anomalies have smooth borders due to gradual ...

A powerful method for liquid crystal ~LC! cell twist angle and retardation measurement is presented. This method is based on the spectroscopic ellipsometry. By varying the polarizer and analyzer angles only, a transmission spectrum containing null transmission at some particular wavelengths can be obtained. Analytical equations derived bases on a polarization analysis of twisted birefringent la...

We propose a new method to calculate Faraday rotation measure maps from multi-frequency polarisation angle data. In order to solve the so called nπ-ambiguity problem which arises from the observationally ambiguity of the polarisation angle which is only determined up to additions of ±nπ, where n is an integer, we suggest using a global scheme. Instead of solving the nπ-ambiguity for each data p...
