Although integral and differential nonlinearity may not be the most important parameters for high-speed, high dynamic performance data converters, they gain significance when it comes to highresolution imaging applications. The following application note serves as a refresher course for their definitions and details two different, yet commonly used techniques to measure INL and DNL in highspeed...

We extend the pseudoholomorphic curve methods from Floer theory to infinite-dimensional phase spaces and use our results prove existence of a forced time-periodic solution general Hamiltonian PDE with regularizing nonlinearity. In particular, when nonlinearity is sufficiently regularizing, bounded time-periodic, we an version Gromov-Floer compactness by using ideas Diophantine approximations ov...

We present a numerical method for a class of boundary value problems on the unit interval which feature a type of exponential and product nonlinearities. Also, we consider singular case. We construct a kind of spectral collocation method based on shifted Jacobi polynomials to implement this method. A number of specific numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the propos...

In the present research, synthesis of butyl oleate ester from oleic acid and butanol using loofa-immobilized Rhizopus oryzae as a whole cell biocatalyst (LIC) was studied in which hexane was used as the hydrophobic solvent. Decrease of mass transfer limitations as result of the interface formation between the two immiscible substrates, positively affected on the reaction progress (87% as the es...

An important question in designing cryptographic functions including substitution boxes S boxes is the relationships among the various nonlinearity criteria each of which indicates the strength or weakness of a cryptographic function against a particular type of cryptanalytic attacks In this paper we reveal for the rst time interesting connections among the strict avalanche characteristics di e...

The visual evoked potential is commonly used to estimate visual acuity in infants. The stimulus used is temporally modulated in order to drive the cortical response. Here it is proposed that distortion products generated by a front-end nonlinearity may contaminate the acuity estimate. Specifically, the nonlinearity might convert temporal modulation of a high spatial frequency grating into appar...

A function-based evaluation approach is proposed for a systematic study of fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID)-like controllers. This approach is applied for deriving process-independent design guidelines from addressing two issues: simplicity and nonlinearity. To examine the simplicity of fuzzy PID controllers, we conclude that direct-action controllers exhibit simpler design properti...

− Test signals that are used by high precise measuring have to contain minimum harmonic components of basic frequency. All non-linearity in electronic circuits may be sources of harmonic components in testing signals. Traditional methods and new method for the small nonlinearity measuring of electronic components and circuits are described in this paper. There are presented examples of measured...

The control of an ideal reactive distillation column is compared with that of a similar, but somewhat di2erent, real chemical system, the production of methyl acetate. Similarities and di2erences are observed. Three control structures are evaluated for both systems. A control structure with one internal composition controller and one temperature controller provides e2ective control of both syst...

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD592 is a two terminal monolithic integrated circuit temperature transducer that provides an output current proportional to absolute temperature. For a wide range of supply voltages the transducer acts as a high impedance temperature dependent current source of 1 μA/K. Improved design and laser wafer trimming of the IC’s thin film resistors allows the AD592 to achieve a...
