The well-known scaled small gain condition guarantees stability for a linear time invariant system subject to bounded complex nonlinear and/or time-varying perturbations. A polynomial time computable condition is derived that can be substantially less conservative for gain scheduled and other multivariable systems with repeated real time-varying parameters. The proof is a generalization of the ...

We determined preferred data-to-display mappings by asking experiment participants directly and then examined the psychophysical scaling functions relating perceived data values to underlying acoustic parameters. Presently, we are extending and validating the scaled mappings in practical data interpretation tasks. The resulting scaling functions, in conjunction with the experimental paradigm de...

A method for recovering structure and motion from a set of scaled orthographic silhouette views with unconstrained camera motion is presented. The outer epipolar tangencies between six or more views are used simultaneously to recover the relative pose of the cameras and hence the visual hull of the object. The camera representation proposed permits a closed form solution in the optimization of ...

Many geometric invariants have been reported in the literature. For two speciic diierential scale invari-ants we discuss the parameters involved and analyze the accuracy of their computation on real camera data. Our experimental data show signiicant errors in the observed values. Those errors seem to be inherent in the image formation and scaling process. They indicate the limitations of local ...

For the development of a rotational symmetrical polyurethane part with a steel reinforcement, a requirement/constraint driven approach to process design has been taken. In this approach a scale model of the process was built using fused deposition modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping technique, then used to validate design, material and process parameters. After selection and testing on the scaled ...

The paper presents the design of an on-axis coupled structure which is planar double-sided and suited for fabrication with deep X-ray lithography. It is a standing wave structure with an operating frequency of 91.392 GHz and is designed for the -mode. End cells and input power coupler are matched numerically by means of the code GdfidL. The main RF parameters are also determined numerically. Re...

SOI (silicon-on-insulator) technology suffers from a number of floating body effects, most notably parasitic bipolar and history effects. These are influenced by the rapidly increasing gate tunneling current caused by an ultra-thin gate oxide, even at scaled VDDs [8]. This paper analyzes these effects in detail and proposes a number of novel circuit styles to minimize them. Simulation results a...

where 2 = 0.03 and 2e = 1.0 are softening parameters. Here we have neglected the terms related to the small ratio of the electron mass to that of the nuclei. For cases of mass-scaled H2 with mass of hydrogen of Mp = 1836 and heavier, considered in this paper, this approximation leads to unnoticeable differences in the calculated HHG spectra. The interaction between the molecule and a laser fiel...
