Increasing demand for high precision positioning systems has motivated significant research in this field. Within this field, dual-stage nanopositioning systems have the unique potential to offer high-speed and long-range positioning by coupling a short-range, high-speed actuator with a long-range, low-speed actuator. In this paper, design considerations for a spatial filter are presented. The spatial filter allows for control allocation based on range of the signal as opposed to more commonly used frequency-based control allocation. In order to understand the spatial filtering approach more fully, this paper analyzes the filter in detail to understand limitations and give the user a more clear understanding of the approach. Simulation results are included to illustrate aspects of the discussion.

AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services are increasingly becoming a part of daily life; from smart homes to smart cities, industry, agriculture, it is penetrating practically in every domain. Data collected over the IoT applications, mostly through the sensors connected over the devices, and with the increasing demand, it is not possible to process all the data on the devices itself. The data collected by the device sensors are in vast amount and require high-speed computation and processing, which demand advanced resources. Various applications and services that are crucial require meeting multiple performance parameters like time-sensitivity and energy efficiency, computation offloading framework comes into play to meet these performance parameters and extreme computation requirements. Computation or data offloading tasks to nearby devices or the fog or cloud structure can aid in achieving the resource requirements of IoT applications. In this paper, the role of context or situation to perform the offloading is studied and drawn to a conclusion, that to meet the performance requirements of IoT enabled services, context-based offloading can play a crucial role. Some of the existing frameworks EMCO, MobiCOP-IoT, Autonomic Management Framework, CSOS, Fog Computing Framework, based on their novelty and optimum performance are taken for implementation analysis and compared with the MAUI, AnyRun Computing (ARC), AutoScaler, Edge computing and Context-Sensitive Model for Offloading System (CoSMOS) frameworks. Based on the study of drawn results and limitations of the existing frameworks, future directions under offloading scenarios are discussed.

In classical physics, time is considered absolute. It is believed that all processes, regardless of their complexity, do not affect the flow of time The theory of relativity determines that the flow of time for bodies depends both on the speed of movement of bodies and on the magnitude of the gravitational potential. It is believed that time in space orbit passes slower due to the high speed of the spacecraft, and faster due to the lower gravitational potential than on the surface of the Earth. Currently, the dependence of time on the magnitude of the gravitational potential and velocity (relativistic effect) is taken into account in global positioning systems. However, studying the relativistic effect, scientists have made a wrong interpretation of the difference between the clock frequency of an orbiting satellite and the clock frequency on the Earth's surface. All further studies to explain the relativistic effect were carried out according to a similar scenario, that is, only the difference in clock frequencies under conditions of different gravitational potentials was investigated. While conducting theoretical research, I found that the frequency of the signal changes along the way from the satellite to the receiver due to the influence of Earth's gravity. It was found that the readings of two high-precision clocks located at different heights will not differ after any period of time, that is, it is shown that the flow of time does not depend on the gravitational potential. It is proposed to conduct full-scale experiments, during which some high-precision clocks are sent aboard the space station, while others remain in the laboratory on the surface of the earth. It is expected that the readings of the satellite clock will be absolutely identical to the readings of the clock in the Earth laboratory.

Due to increasing demand of High Speed Re-entry vehicles for Space activities within the world, a serious issue associated with the method of deceleration down a vehicle is by the intense heat generated because of development of stronger shocks at the nose. The price of thermal protection systems (TPS) to cut back the warmth generated by the return vehicles is extremely high. In this paper, the ultimate outcome is to cut back the aero heating which is achieved by introducing a spike at frontal region of the nose. Additionally, this spike avoids the deterioration and preserves the structural integrity of space vehicle over elevated temperatures. Further, four totally different geometries of tip specifically Blunt, Slender, Snap and Pan for the aerospike has been introduced and their impact on performance is evaluated and compared with the vehicle having TPS. Hence, usage of aerospike in return vehicles is the most successful and economical over different protection system.
