Iii the course of study of arcing phenomena between electrical contacts, it has been long established that a condition for sustaining the short arc is to maintain a current through the arc greater
An important phase in the study of discharge phenomena between contacts is that involving the break of an inductive circuit.
The problem of contact erosion due to arcing has been the subject of a large number of investigations.
It has been shown 1 that an arc may be initiated between contacts at close separations at voltages well below the spark breakdown potential of the surrounding atmosphere.
About a century and a half ago Samuel Morse worried about optimizing the construction of his telegraph code. How many dots and dashes should he assign to each letter?
To evaluate the quality and reliability of electronic and optical devices, we depend on sophisticated test equipments.
Cantor distributions of identical radiating apertures allow the design of low side-lobe arrays (see Puente-Baliarda and Pons, Antennas Propagat 44 (1996) 730-739).
Malloc(3) is considered to be a robust building block.
We discuss what test sequences should be used to accurately emulate dispersive transmissions with multilevel modulations.
We propose that the metal-semiconductor transition in the BaPb sub (1-x) Bi sub x O sub 3 alloy system is caused by a cooperative effect of both 'breathing-type' charge density waves and ordering
