From some work by Carson, the relation between the earth response to a Heaviside function voltage and the response to an impulse is pointed out. A method of obtaining all other electrical measurements from the impulse response is indicated. It is suggested that a new experimental method might yield more accurate measurements of the electrical earth responses than can be had from suddenly applied DC transients, or any of the steady state measurements.

Electrical measurements were made on the surface of the earth with low frequency commutated current using nineteen separate frequencies and six electrode separations. Analysis of the data indicates that there is an effect of appreciable magnitude attributable to an interface 6000 feet below the surface.

We present two time invariant models for Global Systems for Mobile (GSM) position tracking, which describe the movement inx-axis andy-axis simultaneously or separately. We present the time invariant filters as well as the steady state filters: the classical Kalman filter and Lainiotis Filter and the Join Kalman Lainiotis Filter, which consists of the parallel usage of the two classical filters. Various implementations are proposed and compared with respect to their behavior and to their computational burden: all time invariant and steady state filters have the same behavior using both proposed models but have different computational burden. Finally, we propose a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) implementation of the Steady State Kalman, and Lainiotis filters, which does not require previous estimations but requires a well-defined set of previous measurements.

Numerical parameters for a compartmental model of a neuron can be chosen to conform both to the neuron's structure and to its measured steady-state electrical properties. A systematic procedure for assigning parameters is described that makes use of the matrix of coefficients of the set of differential equations that embodies the compartmental model. The inverse of this matrix furnishes input resistances and voltage attenuation factors for the model, and an interactive modification of the original matrix and its inverse may be used to fit the model to anatomic and electrical measurements.

Acoustic waves passing through a swirler generate inertial waves in rotating flow. In the present study, the response of a premixed flame to an inertial wave is scrutinized, with emphasis on the fundamental fluid-dynamic and flame-kinematic interaction mechanism. The analysis relies on linearized reactive flow equations, with a two-part solution strategy implemented in a finite element framework: Firstly, the steady state, low-Mach number, Navier–Stokes equations with Arrhenius type one-step reaction mechanism are solved by Newton’s method. The flame impulse response is then computed by transient solution of the analytically linearized reactive flow equations in the time domain, with mean flow quantities provided by the steady-state solution. The corresponding flame transfer function is retrieved by fitting a finite impulse response model. This approach is validated against experiments for a perfectly premixed, lean, methane-air Bunsen flame, and then applied to a laminar swirling flame. This academic case serves to investigate in a generic manner the impact of an inertial wave on the flame response. The structure of the inertial wave is characterized by modal decomposition. It is shown that axial and radial velocity fluctuations related to the eigenmodes of the inertial wave dominate the flame front modulations. The dispersive nature of the eigenmodes plays an important role in the flame response.

Spin-off maneuver of a flexible satellite using constant-amplitude thrusters is studied in this paper. The satellite consists of a rigid main body and two symmetrical solar panels. The panels are having structural flexibility and their motions are discretized following the finite element method. Under constant-amplitude thrusts, steady-state attitude angle oscillations may occur in large amplitude after the maneuvers. Since in operation the satellite should point to certain area on the earth precisely, these oscillations of course are not acceptable. To reduce the oscillations, proportional derivative (PD) based constant-amplitude input shaping logic is proposed to determine time locations of thruster switching. Then, under such inputs, spin-downs of the satellite are simulated numerically. Results of simulations indicate that the precise orientation of the satellite can be achieved.

A simple method is given for the design of exact deadbeat regulators and PI controllers when only N impulse or step response samples from the process are available. It is required that the process be linear, controllable, observable, time invariant, and that N≥2n, where n is the degree of the process. It is not required that the process be open-loop stable, in distinction with previously-given simple methods. This makes it easy to include any number of integrations in the controller to achieve steady-state tracking properties of arbitrary type.

We investigate the possibility of finding the source signature from multichannel seismic data by factorization of the Z-transforms of the seismic traces. In the convolutional model of the data, the source signature is the same from trace to trace within a shot gather, while the impulse response of the earth varies. In the noise‐free case, the roots of the Z-transform of the wavelet are the same from trace to trace, while the roots of the Z-transform of the impulse response of the earth must move from trace to trace. It follows that the roots of the wavelet can be found by the invariance of their positions. We demonstrate this using a simple wedge model. No assumptions about the length of the wavelet or the statistical properties of the impulse response of the earth are required. It is shown that this idea cannot work on real seismic data. There are two difficulties which we regard as insuperable. First, even without noise, a seismic trace cannot be regarded as a complete convolution, because the data are always truncated. This causes the factorization to be inexact: the wavelet roots move from trace to trace and are indistinguishable from the roots of the earth’s impulse response. Second, the addition of a small amount of noise alters the root pattern unpredictably from trace to trace and the roots of the wavelet are again indistinguishable from the roots of the earth’s impulse response. We conclude that it is impossible to identify and extract the true source signature from real seismic data using no assumptions about the statistical properties of the impulse response of the earth. We propose that the signature should be measured.
