Maneuver detection is a very important task for maintaining the catalog of the orbital objects and space situational awareness. This paper mainly focuses on the typical maneuver scenario, where space objects only perform tangential orbital maneuvers during a relative long gap. Particularly, only two classical and commonly applied orbital transition manners are considered, i.e. the twice tangent...

OBJECTIVE To show how an extending capsulorrhexis can be rescued by a midway tangential capsular flap in order to achieve an uneventful phacoemulsification. DESIGN Consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients with extending capsulorrhexis treated at the Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran. METHODS First, a tangential capsular opening was created on the border of the presum...

Piping vibration which is mainly caused by the torsional vibration of rotary compressor can be a major noise source of air-conditioner. Especially, the tangential vibration of rotary compressor which is due to the torsional vibration is much higher than the radial vibration or the vertical vibration of compressor. A study as to how the tangential vibration of rotary compressor is related with t...

We developed a novel concept of using a negative acoustic lens to increase the acceptance angle of an unfocused large-area ultrasonic transducer (detector), leading to more than twofold improvement of the tangential resolution in both thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography. In both thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography, for a given transducer bandwidth, the aperture size of the detec...

If a contact of two purely elastic bodies with no sliding (infinite coefficient of friction) is subjected to superimposed oscillations in the normal and tangential directions, then a specific damping appears, that is not dependent on friction or dissipation in the material. We call this effect "relaxation damping". The rate of energy dissipation due to relaxation damping is calculated in a clos...

Summ~ry--A method is developed for representing the tangential displacements and tractions at the surface of the semi-infinite solid in terms of potential functions. In this form, a mathematical analogy is revealed between corresponding mixed boundary value problems involving tangential and normal surface displacements respectively. This analogy enables a general solution to be obtained to the ...

The wide application of GPS carrier-phase (CP) time transfer is limited by the problem of boundary discontinuity (BD). The discontinuity has two categories. One is “day boundary discontinuity,” which has been studied extensively and can be solved by a few methods [1–5]. The other category of discontinuity, called “anomaly boundary discontinuity (anomaly-BD),” comes from a GPS-measurements data ...

This paper shows the advantages of the material failure process simulation by improve finite elements with embedded discontinuities, using a new definition of traction vector, dependent on the discontinuity length and the angle. Particularly, two families of this kind of elements are compared: kinematically optimal symmetric and statically and kinematically optimal non-symmetric. The constituti...

[1] High-pressure assemblages of subducted oceanic crust are denser than the normal upper mantle but less dense than the uppermost lower mantle. Thus subducted oceanic crust may accumulate at the base of the upper mantle. Direct observational evidence for this hypothesis, however, remains elusive. We present an analysis of a negativepolarity shear wave converted from compressional wave at a sei...

Discontinuity-preserving Bayesian image restoration, based on Markov random fields (MRF), involves an intensity fleld, representing the image to be restored, and an edge (discontinuity) fleld. The usual strategy is to perform joint maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation of the intensity and discontinuity fields, this requiring the specification of Bayesian priors. Departing from this approach, w...
