We study asymptotic stability of continuous-time systems with mode-dependent guaranteed dwell time. These are reformulated as special cases a general class mixed (discrete–continuous) linear switching on graphs, in which some modes correspond to discrete actions and others evolutions. Each action has its own positive weight accounts for time-duration. develop theory the systems; particular, we ...

A general relation between the group delay and the dwell time is derived for quantum tunneling. It is shown that the group delay is equal to the dwell time plus a self-interference delay. The Hartman effect in quantum tunneling is explained on the basis of saturation of the integrated probability density (or number of particles) under the barrier.

Comparison of AFM and SEM images of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) grown within a dielectric matrix reveal subterranean nanotubes that are present within the matrix, and as such can be charge screened by the dielectric. Under adequate imaging conditions for the SWNT/silica sample the intensity of isolated nanotubes is found to be inversely proportional to the instrument dwell time (i.e....

The Escherichia coli flagellar motor senses the intracellular concentration of the response regulator CheY-P and responds by varying the bias between its counterclockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) rotational states. The response is ultrasensitive with a large Hill coefficient (approximately 10). Recently, the detailed distribution functions of the CW and the CCW dwell times have been measured fo...

This paper considers the case of smart antennas and multiple inputs multiple outputs (MIMO) systems, suited for the radio access of 3G mobile communications, involving two-dimensional spatio-temporal signal processing and two-dwell procedures. The main novelty of our work is twofold: first, a two-dwell acquisition technique is here performed to save the mean acquisition time versus one-dwell ac...
