In magnetic disk drive actuators, requirements to record and read data at higher track densities has made mechanical resonances of the servo actuator, suspension and the head gimbal assembly a critial consideration. The application of piezo electric material in the servo actuator can be used to re ne and accomplish track following in (extremely) high track density magnetic data storage by contr...

Multi-zone recording increases disk capacity b y approximating fixed linear recording density. With $xed rotation speed, however, transfer rate varies with track location, as does the number of video streams that can be played concurrently. This paper proposes TrackPairing, a deterministic scheme for static intra-disk data layout. By recording each movie alternately on “outer” tracks and their ...

In this paper we propose highly parallel dedicated processors, able to provide precise on-line track reconstruction for future hadronic collider experiments. The processors, organized in a 2-level pipelined architecture, execute very fast algorithms based on the use of a large bank of pre-stored patterns of trajectory points. An associative memory implements the first stage by recognizing track...

In this article, we propose a new extension to a Dynamic Programming Algorithm (DPA) approach for Track-beforeDetect challenges. This extension enables the DPA to process time-delayed sensor data directly. Such delay might appear because of delays in communication networks. The extended DPA is identical to the recursive standard DPA in case of all sensor data appear in the timely correct order....

Molecular motors do not work in isolation in-vivo. We highlight some of the coordinations, cooperations and competitions that determine the collective properties of molecular motors in eukaryotic cells. In the context of traffic-like movement of motors on a track, we emphasize the importance of single-motor bio-chemical cycle and enzymatic activity on their collective spatio-temporal organisati...

This paper reviews the basic radar requirements for tracking small debris (1 to 10 cm). Based on results of the NASA ORDERACS experiment the frequency and sensitivity of five current world-wide radars collecting debris data are reviewed. An analysis of the tracking errors of these radars is provided. Based on their range, velocity, and angle track errors and search capability, the Russian Don-2...

It is proposed that the “threshold for etchable track formation” in plastics is associated with the linear density of activated polymeric clusters along the path of an ion, in the “grain-count regime.” Existing data for CR-39 reveal a change in etching rate in the neighborhood of z/β having the value of about 15-20. We infer that this defines the transition from the grain count regime to the tr...

This paper features a method of synthesizing the track irregularities by which the alignment may be analytically represented by a pseudo-stochastic function, as well as the implementation of such a method in the numerical simulation of the dynamic behaviour of the railway vehicles. The method described in Part I relies on the power spectral density of the track irregularities, as per ORE B 176 ...

ABSTRACT  Background: The essential constituents of cements like lime, silica and alumina are derived from earth’s crust in which radioactive elements like uranium, thorium etc are also present in varying amounts almost everywhere. These two elements are considered as the parent elements of uranium and thorium radioactive decay series in which radon and thoron are produced respectively as decay...

The links between the internal structure of galaxy groups and clusters and cosmological parameters are reviewed here. The mass density profiles of clusters, inferred from both optical analyses of the galaxy surface number density profile coupled with internal kinematics, and from weak gravitational lensing, appear cuspy with inner density profiles at least as steep as r, as is expected from hig...
