A new type of pneumatic oscillator is presented which produces triangular waveforms of pressure versus time. The device can be used for both high power and low power applications. It utilizes a freely floating disk which translates back and forth a short distance inside a housing between two dynamically unstable flapper nozzle valves. A theoretical analysis of the performance and stability of the device is given. A simplified analysis and design procedure which accounts for load flow is shown. Several prototype units were successfully operated and the experimental results obtained with them are described and compared with the predicted results.

The paper shows an idea of a new type of mechanical gear — the eccentric rolling transmission. The main parts of that transmission are rolling bearings, mounted eccentrically on the input shaft which cooperate with the special-shaped cam wheels mounted on the output shaft. The number of rolling bearings is equal to the number of cam wheels. On the basis of kinematic analysis equations of the curve which describe a shape of cam wheels were determined for two different cases: in the first one the directions of shafts rotations were opposite, and in the second they were the same. Kinematic analysis of the novel transmission was carried out to determine maximum gear ratio depending on the adopted input parameters. As a result of analyses a design procedure of the eccentric rolling transmission and CAD model were prepared.

In this paper, a new highly linear operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is presented. Proposed OTA employs two linearization techniques of cross-coupled double differential pairs and resistive source degeneration to achieve highly linear response under low power consumption. Considering the linearity and the frequency response issues as main parameters of OTA in the communication circuits, design procedure is theoretically formulated for the best linearity and optimum frequency compensation. Proposed OTA is simulated in 0.18-μm TSMC CMOS technology by Hspice simulator. While, the power consumption is only 467 μW, applying two-tone input voltage with amplitude of 0.6 Vp-p at 10 MHz frequency results in -61 dB third-order intermodulation (IM3) distortion of the output current that still remains below -44 dB for amplitudes up to 1 Vp-p. A precise frequency response analysis is performed which has resulted in optimum values of resistor and capacitor for miller compensation. Using common mode feedback in both stages and push-pull based output stage lead to 108 dB CMRR at DC that decreases to 84.5 dB at 100 kHz frequency.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.

Ambiguous effects of power on attributions of moral responsibility for an accident are interpreted to result from the intervening effects of need for power, which is aroused by the anticipation of exercising power over another. 160 subjects from introductory social psychology classes participated in a questionnaire-type experiment comparing effects of high/low carelessness, severe/minor consequences, and high/low power of the attributor in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design. In a follow-up experiment 30 subjects were assigned to conditions of high or low power, and their needs for power and moral attributions were measured. High power seemed to arouse need for power, which was curvilinearly related to moral judgments. Those high and low in need for power attributed more moral responsibility to the perpetrator of an accident than those with moderate levels of need for power. The results suggest complicated models of both moral judgments and experimenter effects related to the level or arousal of motivations.

Ingratiation refers to acts of flattery, typically given by a low-power person to a high-power one, performed to gain acceptance and approval. This study investigates ingratiation in the religious setting, asking whether people feeling high levels of guilt or shame tend to manifest such ingratiating behavior toward God. The study aimed to examine the mediating role of prayer in the relationship between guilt and shame and ingratiation toward God. A total of 148 respondents (80 women and 68 men) participated in the study. The Religious Ingratiation Scale, the Content of Prayer Scale, and the Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale were applied to the research. The results showed that feeling guilty increased the tendency to ingratiation toward God. Prayer was the significant mediator in this relationship. People high in guilt tend to flatter God by offering more adoration and fewer repine prayers.
