This paper presents explicit analytical solutions of the pressure coefficient and the pressure ratio across the oblique shock and expansion waves in function of the flow deflection angle. These new explicit pressure-deflection solutions can be efficiently used in solving applied aerodynamic problems in supersonic flows, such as the aerodynamics of airfoils and wings in supersonic-hypersonic flo...

We propose two novel electro-optic (EO) deflectors based on two new nonrectangular geometries: the parabolic and the half-horn configurations. These devices not only provide excellent deflection angles, but also have the potential to build nonblocking 2 x 2 optical switches. A deflector figure of merit is defined, and comparisons with existing EO deflectors are given. Devices fabricated in LiTa...

Deflection profiles of y} and y are shown in Fig. 1 for M -100 kg, 7=490 kN, c = 307 m/sec, a = 226 m/sec, at t = 0.68, 1.02 ane 1.29 sec. At these times the mass positions are * = 52, 118, and 188 m. As shown in Fig. 1, maximum deflection is at the mass location. To determine the adequacy of the simplified mathematical model used in the analyses, the cable deflection at a known position was mo...

The steady state behavior of regular two-connected multihop networks in homogeneous load under hot-potato and single-buffer deflection routing is analyzed for ultrafast optical applications. Manhattan Street Network and ShuffleNet are compared in terms of throughput, delay and deflection probability both analytically and by simulation. It is analytically verified that single-buffer deflection r...

Microcantilever-based sensors can be used to detect molecular absorption of, for example, hydrogen gas, which causes changes in the surface stress, leading to deflection of the cantilever. Such a deflection can be determined by means of optical beam deflection, capacitance-, or piezo-resistance based readout. We have recently proposed a compact integrated mechano-optical sensor using a novel an...

The right-hand rules show the direction of the spin-induced deflection of baseball pitches: thus, they explain the movement of the fastball, curveball, slider and screwball. The direction of deflection is described by a pair of right-hand rules commonly used in science and engineering. Our new model for the magnitude of the lateral spin-induced deflection of the ball considers the orientation o...

We propose a dielectric photonic structure for ultrafast deflection and focusing of relativistic charged particle beams. The structure is designed to transform a free-space laser beam into a deflection force that acts on the free particles with the same optical phase over a distance of travel that is much greater than the laser wavelength. The proposed structure has a two-dimensional geometry a...

We simulate electrothermally induced flow in polymeric, insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) systems with DC-offset, AC electric fields at finite thermal Péclet number, and we identify key regimes where electrothermal (ET) effects enhance particle deflection and trapping. We study a single, two-dimensional constriction in channel depth with parametric variations in electric field, channel g...

PURPOSE To evaluate magnet-related translational attraction for cardiac pacemakers, ICDs, and an insertable loop recorder in association with exposure to "long-bore" and "short-bore" 1.5- and 3.0-Tesla MR systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen cardiac pacemakers, four ICDs, and one insertable loop recorder were evaluated for translational attraction using deflection angle tests performed at ...

The focus of this paper is on the design of time optimal control profiles for flexible structures subject to deflection constraints. The benchmark floating oscillator is used to illustrate the variation in the structure of the control profile as a function of permissible deflection. The transition from a 5 switch bang-bang to a 7 switch bang-bang to finally, a 7 switch profile which includes no...
