With the purpose to compare the physical features of the electromagnetic field, we describe the synthesis of optical singularities propagating in the free space and on a metal surface. In both cases the electromagnetic field has a slit-shaped curve as a boundary condition, and the singularities correspond to a shock wave that is a consequence of the curvature of the slit curve. As prototypes, we generate singularities that correspond to fold and cusped regions. We show that singularities in free space may generate bifurcation effects while plasmon fields do not generate these kinds of effects. Experimental results for free-space propagation are presented and for surface plasmon fields, computer simulations are shown.

ABSTRACTSemi-insulating (SI) silicon carbide (SiC) was evaluated as a candidate material for dielectric substrate for patch antennas suitable for monolithic antenna integration on a SiC semiconductor chip. Computer simulations of the return loss were conducted to design microstrip patch antennas operating at 10 GHz. The antennas were fabricated using SI 4H-SiC substrates, with Ti-Pt-Au stacks for ground planes and patches. A good agreement between the experimental results and simulation was obtained. The radiation performance of the designed SiC based patch antennas was as good as that normally achieved from antennas fabricated using conventional RF materials such as FR4 and Rogers. The antennas had the gain around 2 dBi at 10 GHz, which is consistent with the conventional antennas of a similar size.

We examine how initial coherences in open chiral systems affect distinguishability of pure versus mixed states and purity decay. Interaction between a system and an environment is modeled by a continuous position measurement and a two-level approximation is taken for the system. The resultant analytical solution is explored for various parameters, with emphasis on the interplay of initial coherences of the system and dephasing rate in determining the purity decay and differences in the time evolution of pure versus mixed initial states. Implications of the results for several fundamental problems are noted.

Abstract For practical operation of dividing manifolds, the discharge uniformity is a property generally required. To investigate the dependence of discharge uniformity on the manifold geometry and operating conditions, analytical solution to the governing equation, Bajura's equation, was secured. Furthermore, examples were derived by substituting experimental data into the analytical solutions; the resultant curves of discharge distribution indicated essential agreement between the theoretical and experimental results. For evaluating the property of discharge distribution, a uniformity index, U, was introduced. The calculated results of U showed a well-defined dependence of uniformity on the dimensionless parameter, γ, and a maximum of U presented around 1.44 of γ.

Human perception is a complex nonlinear dynamics. Motivated by biological experimental findings, two networks of coupled chaotic elements for image segmentation are introduced in this chapter. In both models, time evolutions of chaotic elements that correspond to the same object in a given image are synchronized with one another, while this synchronized evolution is desynchronized with respect to time evolution of chaotic elements corresponding to other objects in the image. The first model is a continuous flow and the segmentation process incorporates geometrical information of input images; while the second model is a network of discrete maps for pixel clustering, accompanying an adaptive moving mechanism to eliminate pixel ambiguity. Computer simulations on real images are given.

Abstract In the engineering practice, knowing the technical condition of industrial equipment under operating results shortening of repairs, repairs machinery to smart planning based on the time evolution of bearing wear, detect and correct errors on their installation or repair. This is one of the most important objectives of proactive maintenance; maintenance engineer must follow and monitor the wear of equipment with moving parts to prevent damage and removing them permanently from service, ensuring repair costs as low as possible. The aim of this paper is to present a particular case study on vibro- acoustic diagnosis of equipment and components subject to wear during operation to prevent catastrophic damage, as well as human and material losses.

Liquid crystals, a material that exhibits brilliant changes in color over narrow temperature bands, have been successfully used to study the temperature field that is produced by a cryosurgical cannula (cryoprobe). Cryoprobe tip temperatures ranging from −36 to −117 C were used to produce frozen regions in a clear gel. Experimental results compare within experimental uncertainty with results of a one-dimensional analytical solution for predicting ice growth rates.
