A practical pinch torque estimator based on the H∞ filter is proposed for low-cost anti-pinch window control systems. To obtain the acceptable angular velocity measurements, the angular velocity calculation algorithm was proposed with the measurement noise reduction logics in previous method. Apart from the previous works based on the angular velocity or torque estimates for detecting the pinch...

X-ray spectra of high energy density ~HED! Z-pinch plasmas have been analyzed by means of a comprehensive kinetic modeling. A new diagnostic, x-ray spectropolarimetry, was applied to study anisotropy of Z-pinch plasma. This diagnostic is based on theoretical modeling of polarization-dependent spectra measured simultaneously by spectrometers with different sensitivity to polarization. Specifical...

Cell adhesion and migration are dynamic processes requiring the coordinated action of multiple signaling pathways, but the mechanisms underlying signal integration have remained elusive. Drosophila embryonic dorsal closure (DC) requires both integrin function and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling for opposed epithelial sheets to migrate, meet, and suture. Here, we show that PINCH, a p...

BACKGROUNDS & OBJECTIVE End-stage renal disease (ESRD) frequently causes Protein Energy Wasting (PEW), which is an important morbidity and mortality factor. Although it is difficult to assess PEW with a reliable method, there are various methods such as Handgrip strength test (HST), serum albumin, cholesterol, etc. HST is a simple and reliable antropometric method which is used for nutritional ...

The paper extends the current known tables of Fermat’s pseudoprimes to base 3 with the bound of 10. The paper is motivated by works of C. Pomerance (1980), G. E. Pinch (2000), William Galway (2002) and Jan Feitsma (2009) who provided tables of pseudoprimes with base 2 up to 10 (Pinch), 10 (Galway) and 10 (Feitsma).

10 This paper introduces a new disjunctive formulation for the simultaneous optimization and heat integration of 11 systems with variable inlet and outlet temperatures in process streams as well as the possibility of selecting and 12 using different utilities. The starting point is the original compact formulation of the Pinch Location Method, 13 however, instead of approximating the “maximum” ...

Blackbody levels of emission in the electron cyclotron range of frequencies have been observed from an overdense (vpe;3vce) Madison Symmetric Torus @Dexter et al., Fusion Technol. 19, 131 ~1991!# reversed field pinch plasma, a result of electrostatic electron Bernstein waves emitted from the core and mode converted into electromagnetic waves at the extreme plasma edge. Comparison of the measure...
