Eigentimes and Very Slow Processes
We investigate the importance of the time and length scales at play in our descriptions of Nature. What can we observe at the atomic scale, at the laboratory (human) scale, and at the galactic scale? Which variables make sense? For every scale we wish to understand we need a set of variables which are linked through closed equations, i.e., everything can meaningfully be described in terms of th...
متن کاملCapacitors with Very Low Loss: Cryogenic Vacuum-Gap Capacitors
We report on measurements of capacitors with about 1 pF of capacitance, which have unmeasurably small leakage at very low frequencies, placing a lower bound of about 1019[2 on the parallel resistance at an effective frequency of 1 mHz. These measurements are made possible by two themes: the use of vacuum-gap capacitors (i.e., no dielectric material, operated in vacuum), and detection of leakage...
متن کاملVacuum self-focusing of very intense laser beams
We argue that long-range photon-photon attraction induced by the dipole interaction of two electron-positron loops can lead to "vacuum self-focusing" of very intense laser beams. The focusing angle Î ̧F is found to increase with the beam intensity I as Î ̧F âˆ1⁄4 I4/3; for the laser beams available at present or in the near future, Î ̧F 10-10 10-7.
متن کاملSource Seeking With Very Slow or Drifting Sensors
Slow sensors arise in many applications, including sensing chemical concentrations in tracking of contaminant plumes. Slow sensors are often the cause of poor performance and a potential cause of instability. In this paper, we design a modified extremum seeking scheme to account and exploit slow sensor dynamics. We also consider the worst case, which is sensor dynamics governed by a pure integr...
متن کاملSlow slumping of a very viscous liquid bridge
A layer of very viscous liquid (e.g. tar, molten glass) spans a chasm between two vertical walls. The slow fall or slump of this initially-rectangular liquid bridge is analysed. A semi-analytical solution is obtained for the initial motion, for arbitrary thickness/width ratios. The formal limits of large and small thickness/width ratios are also investigated. For example, the centre section of ...
