Because the underlying physiology of pathological tremor in a Parkinson's patient is not well understood, the existing physical and drug therapies have not been successful in tremor treatment. Different mathematical modeling of such vibration has been introduced to investigate the problem and reduce the existing vibration. Most of the models have represented the induced vibration as a sinusoida...

Recent measurements of the autocorrelation function of the Lyα clouds are analyzed from the point of view of a simple model with strong clustering on the small scales. It is shown that this toy model reproduces fairly well the important linear relation between amplitude of the absorber autocorrelation function and neutral hydrogen column density. In addition, it predicts a correct evolutionary ...

ABSTRACT A novel concept of the Cold-Electron Bolometer (CEB) with strong electrothermal feedback has been proposed. The concept is based on direct electron cooling of the absorber that serves as negative electrothermal feedback for incoming signal. This feedback is analogous to TES (transition-edge sensor) but additional dc heating is replaced by deep electron cooling to minimum temperature. I...

Whenever a tuned-mass damper is attached to a primary system, motion of the absorber body in more than one degree of freedom (DOF) relative to the primary system can be used to attenuate vibration of the primary system. In this paper, we propose that more than one mode of vibration of an absorber body relative to a primary system be tuned to suppress single-mode vibration of a primary system. W...

We present an XMM-Newton observation of NGC 7469, including studies of the X-ray and UV variability, 0.2−10 keV spectral continuum, Fe Kα emission line and the first-ever high-resolution X-ray spectrum of the soft X-ray warm absorber. We compare the properties of this X-ray warm absorber with the UV warm absorber as seen in a FUSE observation one year previously. The 0.2−10 keV spectral continu...

We recently reported on a Transition Edge Sensor (TES) composite bolometer for Fourier Transform spectroscopy which was designed, built and characterized. The design is based on a superconducting thermistor with SQUID readout, SiN membrane technology and a thin film metal mesh absorber which is optimized for the spectral range from 0.1 THz to 3 THz. A noise equivalent power (NEP) of 3.8×10-13 W...

A translational Lanchester damper is a device that adds damping to structure at point using series combination of viscous and mass. The problem in the practical realisation such stiffness required support mass, which changes dynamic behaviour device, introducing resonance frequency due interaction inertia forces. This vibration absorber. To achieve behaves broadly as rather than absorber, very ...

With continual interest in expanding the performance envelope of engineering systems, nonlinear components are increasingly utilized in real-world applications. This causes the failure of wellestablished techniques to mitigate resonant vibrations. In particular, this holds for the linear tuned vibration absorber (LTVA), which requires an accurate tuning of its natural frequency to the resonant ...
