Natural indicators of the electrical polarity of a direct current (DC) source is limited to semiconductor based diodes and transistors. Recently a novel bio-natural indicator of the polarity of a DC source have been reported. Mimosa Pudica or sensitive plant is found to be a natural detector of a DC source polarity, however the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not known. This paper aims ...

We present an improved detection scheme for a two-wave mixing interferometer with a Bi12SiO20 crystal. The proposed detection scheme allows quasi-balanced detection of ultrasonic signals whereby electrical disturbances are suppressed. Quasi-balancing is achieved by changing the polarity of the high voltage at the photorefractive crystal, leading to an inversion of the optical interference signa...

This paper presents a study of the relationship between Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) parameters on the EDM efficiency factors using a full factorial design, based on pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity parameters in EDM machining of AISI H13 tool steel. The results show that, in positive polarity, the plasma flushing efficiency and pulse efficiency increase according to the puls...

In the introduction to a recent paper by the writer (5), -the phenomenon of the polar transport of auxin in plants was briefly discussed. It was indicated there that the electrical theory of the polar transport of auxin was one of the most widely accepted ones. This theory states that the inherent electrical polarity of plants is the cause of the longitudinal polar transport of the negative ion...

Electrically driven resistance change in metal oxides opens up an interdisciplinary research field for next-generation non-volatile memory. Resistive switching exhibits an electrical polarity dependent "bipolar-switching" and a polarity independent "unipolar-switching", however tailoring the electrical polarity has been a challenging issue. Here we demonstrate a scaling effect on the emergence ...

phase sensitive detector described here has two principal applications: a- to produce a d.c out put proportional to- the amplitude of an incoming a,c signal and indicate, by the outut polarity, the phase of the signal with respect to an internal reference. b- to detect the presence of a signal of known phase and frequency which would otherwise be lost in «background noise» and to measure its am...

Polarity inversion based speech watermarking scheme hide data in speech by modification of the speech polarity. This paper build a statistical model of the polarity detection problem, based on this model, the original polarity detection scheme and the optimal detection scheme are analyzed and compared. The theoretical analysis results are validated by Monte Carlo simulation, the optimal polarit...
