A novel piezoelectrically actuated scanning micromirror integrated with angle sensors is presented. The mirror with large size of 3×3mm2 locates in the center of the device, and piezoelectric actuators are symmetrically placed on both sides of the mirror. They are connected through torsion bars in which piezoelectric angle sensors are integrated. In order to obtain large deflection angle at a low operation voltage, the new actuator consisting of several parallel piezoelectric cantilevers is adopted. The machematical models of the mirror and piezoelectric actuator are given, and the piezoelectric angle sensors are designed to obtain high sensitivities. The simulation results indicate that the maximum mechanical deflection angle of the micromirror is 12.4° at an operation voltage of 25V, and the maximum output voltage of the angle sensor is 164.3mV. The resonant frequency associated with the torsional mode is 960Hz. The sensitivity of the angle sensor is 13.3mV/° without amplifying. The Scanning miromirror is suitable for optical scanning systems such as the microscope, the micro-spectrometer, the medical imaging, the barcode reader and so on.

Long Wave Infrared

Diamond has a broad spectral transmission range (>0.2 μm) and the largest Raman frequency shift (1,332 cm−1) among known Raman crystals. Hence, the diamond Raman laser has the potential to achieve lasing in the long-wave infrared (LWIR) range, which is difficult to reach via other crystalline lasers. Here, we report a new approach to achieve LWIR output using diamond Raman conversion and provide the corresponding analysis model and simulation results. The conversion efficiency is analyzed as function of the pump waist size, output-coupler transmission, and crystal length, at constant pump power. The maximum output power at which a diamond of relatively large size can be operated without damage is predicted. This study paves a way for high-power LWIR lasing in diamond.

Introduction. Reducing fluctuations in the load transported by hoisting cranes with a flexible rope suspension of the load is an urgent task since it can significantly reduce the time taken to complete the operation of moving the load. A promising direction for reducing load fluctuations is to optimize the trajectory of movement of the load suspension upper point.Materials and methods. The paper discussed the method of mathematical simulation of plane vibrations of a load moved by a crane with a horizontally moving suspension point, using the software of the MATLAB system. For modeling, the authors used the function of the MATLAB ode45 system, intended for the numerical solution of systems of non-stationary differential equations of arbitrary order.The second-order differential equation used to describe the fluctuations of the transported load and its implementation in the form of program code was presented. Moreover, the authors demonstrated the elements of program code for the analysis and visualization of simulation results.Results. The authors obtained and presented the series of graphs in the inclination angle’s changing of the cargo rope, the acceleration of the suspension point and the value of the objective function with the sinusoidal nature of the acceleration. The objective function was the sum of the absolute values of the deflection angle of the rope and the first derivative at the final moment of the suspension point’s movement with acceleration.Discussion and conclusions. As a result, the paper shows that the system with energy dissipation does not reach the zero value of the objective function even by a symmetrical nature of acceleration and deceleration of the suspension point. Therefore, it is necessary to give asymmetry to the acceleration and deceleration periods of the suspension point in order to completely absorb the residual fluctuations of the load.

A power amplifier (PA) for multi-mode multi-standard transceiver which is implemented in a TSMC 0.18μm process is presented. The proposed PA uses matching compensation, lossy matching network and negative feedback technique to improve bandwidth. To achieve the linearity performance, the two-stage PA operates in Class-A regime. Simulation results show that the power amplifier achieves maximum output power of more than 24dBm in 0.7~2.6GHz. The output P1dBof the PA is larger than 22dBm. The simulated power gain is more than 27dB. The S11 is less than-10dB and the S22 is under-5dB.

This paper describes a method for vehicle yaw rate estimation using two accelerometers and a steer angle sensor. This yaw rate estimate can be used as an inexpensive alternative to commercial yaw rate sensors in vehicle control applications. The proposed method combines two complementary approaches to yaw rate estimation using accelerometers. This new method is superior to either method used by itself. This paper presents the new approach, supporting analyses, simulation results and experimental validation. The simulation results are based upon both linear and nonlinear vehicle dynamics models and include important effects such as sensor drift and noise, disturbances acting on the vehicle, and model uncertainties. The experimental validation is based on test data from a specially instrumented vehicle driven on a test track. These results indicate that the proposed yaw rate estimation scheme performs well for a wide range of operating conditions and is not difficult to implement.
