This article presents a new realisation of active RC sinusoidal oscillator with electronically tunable condition and frequency of oscillation (FO). As compared to the class of three resistors, two capacitors (3R-2C)-based canonic oscillators, the circuit proposed here uses only two resistors and two capacitors as the passive components and still provides non-interactive tuning laws for the condition of oscillation and the FO. The proposed circuit employs new bipolar programmable current amplifier as the active building block and is capable of simultaneously providing two explicit quadrature current outputs. SPICE simulation results have been included to verify the workability of the circuit as an oscillator and the tuning range of the FO. 相似文献
In this paper, a new active element called voltage differencing inverting buffered amplifier (VDIBA) is presented. Using single VDIBA and a capacitor, a new resistorless voltage-mode (VM) first-order all-pass filter (APF) is proposed, which provides both inverting and non-inverting outputs at the same configuration simultaneously. The pole frequency of the filter can be electronically controlled by means of bias current of the internal transconductance. No component-matching conditions are required and it has low sensitivity. In addition, the parasitic and loading effects are also investigated. By connecting two newly introduced APFs in open loop a novel second-order APF is proposed. As another application, the proposed VM APF is connected in cascade to a lossy integrator in a closed loop to design a four-phase quadrature oscillator. The theoretical results are verified by SPICE simulations using TSMC 0.18 μm level-7 CMOS process parameters with ±0.9 V supply voltages. Moreover, the behavior of the proposed VM APF was also experimentally measured using commercially available integrated circuit OPA860 by Texas Instruments. 相似文献
Chena Hot Springs is a small, moderate temperature, deep circulating geothermal system, apparently typical of those associated to hot springs of interior Alaska. Multi-stage drilling was used in some exploration boreholes and was found to be useful for understanding subsurface flow characteristics and developing a conceptual model of the system. The results illustrate how temperature profiles illuminate varying pressure versus depth characteristics and can be used alone in cases where staged drilling is not practical. The extensive exploration activities helped define optimal fluid production and injection areas, and showed that the system could provide sufficient hot fluids (∼57 °C) to run a 400-kWe binary power plant, which came on line in 2006. 相似文献
For Anatolian earthquakes, there are insufficient strong motion data from rock sites to model an attenuation relationship for Turkey. This necessitates the use of records from soil sites, which are significantly affected by amplification. In order to include soil site data in the attenuation analyses, boreholes were drilled at 64 recording stations on soil sites. After removing the effects of soil amplification, rock site and soil site data were combined to establish an attenuation relationship. Various models were tested through regression analyses using moment magnitude, epicentral distance and threshold peak horizontal ground acceleration. A new attenuation relationship is modeled for Turkey. 相似文献

Clark's nutcrackers cache pine seeds and recover them months later. Four experiments with 5 nutcrackers tested their ability to relocate their caches when the cache sites were selected by the experimenters. During Exp I, Ss had 18 cache sites available during each of 3 caching sessions, followed 10 days later by 4 recovery sessions. Recovery performance was above chance, and there were frequent revisits to previously emptied cache sites. During Exp II, hunger level (manipulated by prefeeding) had no effect on recovery accuracy. During Exp III, Ss were released into the experimental room with no seeds present. Probing behavior was directed at the old cache sites of Exp I and especially of Exp II. During Exp IV, the number of holes available during caching sessions had no effect on the accuracy of 3 of the 4 Ss. Findings suggest that spatial memory is a primary mechanism by which nutcrackers locate their caches. (30 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献
The performance of 4 seed-caching corvid species was tested using 2 different operant nonmatching tasks. These species differ in their dependence on stored food, and differences in spatial memory tests have been correlated with better performance by the more cache-dependent species. Acquisition and retention of a color non-matching-to-sample task was tested in Experiment 1. Acquisition of the color task was not correlated with cache dependence, and no differences between species in performance during memory testing were found. Acquisition and retention of an operant spatial non-matching-to-sample task was tested in Experiment 2. Species differences in the spatial task were found for acquisition and during retention testing. The influence of natural history on the evolution of memory is discussed.

The physical principle of proposed sensor is based on the combination of two effects: the modulation of permittivity tensor elements in materials with induced anisotropy by external magnetic field and the creation of sharp minima in reflectance on prism base at guided mode resonance. As result we can observe pointed up the polarization states of reflected light beam influenced by external magnetic field.
Procedures based on the Yeh’s 4×4 matrix formalism are described for the treatment of the electromagnetic interactions in prism-layered or -bulk structure with magnetic ordering. The tunneling phenomenon between coupling prism and inspected object is analyzed for ultrathin approximation and for the case of a gap spacing wide enough so that the prism could be considered as weak perturbation to the modes of the free structure. The value of Kerr rotation at resonant states achieves to one radian. Its dependence on in-plane modulation of magnetization direction offers the possibility to realize the magnetic vector sensor with angle distinguishing better than one degree. 相似文献
