The technique of obtaining high resolution, second order, oscillation free (TVD), explicit scalar difference schemes, by the addition of a limited antidiffusive flux to a first order scheme is explored and bounds derived for such limiters. A class of limiters is presented which includes a very compressive limiter due to Roe, and various limiters are compared both theoretically and numerically.

Technical advances in RF and GaAs devices have generally outpaced those in device packaging. This disparity has created a situation where packaging technology can become a limiter to device performance. A process strategy is presented here for massively parallel creation of hermetic wafer scale packaging for RF devices.

This article presents an analysis and comparison of two middleware technologies: CORBA and SOAP/Web Services. Particularly, their applicability for building of mobile distributed applications was considered. The comparison was done with respect of the mobile wireless environment limitations such as low bandwidth, low channel reliability, and limiter computational resources.

Performance analysis schemes for wide-band -ary frequency-shift keying systems with a limiter-discriminator-integrator receiver are presented along with analysis and simulation results for 4-ary and 8-ary systems. The probability distribution of clicks is required for performance analysis and is determined in this letter for Rayleigh fading channels.

A combination of loss properties of Periodic Segmented Waveguides and second order wavelength conversion processes is shown to exhibit features which allow to realize an adjustable optical power limiter using classical integrated optics technologies. Results of numerical simulations are presented to confirm the viability of the proposed approach using input and output power levels in the range ...

Both the radially outer wall and the limiter are investigated as material boundary conditions for electrostatic gyrokinetic full particle distribution simulation for axisymmetric tokamaks. Emphasis is put on conditions keeping the simulation stable with least effect on the plasma turbulent structures. Introduction While the gyrokinetic formalism and its implementation in numerical procedures ar...

in this paper, the impacts of installing superconducting fault current limiter (sfcl)in radial and loop power distribution system are evaluated to improve voltage sag in both cases of with and without distributed generations (dg). among various sfcls, the hybrid type with a superconducting element in parallel with a current limiting reactor (clr) is selected. this is more effective than resisto...
