Unlike other VHDL-based analog simulation methods, these MixED sources compute not only a real number representing an output voltage but also an output impedance. This allows the outputs of several MiXED sources to be connected in order to drive the same node signal n . The voltage of this record-type signal is automatically computed at its element n . u by resolution functions in compliance with Kirchhoff's current law. The data structure of the node signal n , its self-defined resolution functions, and an associated driver component are presented and discussed to meet different simulation requirements, such as speed, versatility, current accuracy, and adaptive time stepping.

The analytical breather-solutions of the Nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger Equation (NLS) [1] have been intensively studied and verified experimentally in the time-space system of optical pulse propagation in fibers [2]. In space-space systems, i.e. in optical beam propagation breathers in ultra-fast nonlinear media have not been observed due to the breather's infinite background and a resulting extremely large power. In a lithium niobate slab waveguide with two second-harmonic (SH) resonances the resulting quasi-cubic cascaded quadratic nonlinearity provided together with the intrinsic cubic susceptibility enough nonlinearity for breather excitation at experimentally reachable powers. We could characterize the fi rst ultra -fast spatial -spatial optical breathers in a 5 -cm -long titanium indiffused lithium niobate slab waveguide at power levels down to tens of kW. The guided fundamental wave (FW) TM° fi lm mode at A = 1.32μm is phase -matched for type -I SH generation to TE 0 and TEi SH modes at temperatures near 295 and 344C. With temperature tuning the phase -mismatch and the two effective cascaded nonlinearities were adjusted. For breather observation, we aimed for a large phase -mismatch with low SH levels such that the cascaded nonlinearity is quasi -cubic and the propagation is well approximated by the NLS and its breather solutions. A frequency -doubled Nd:YAG-pumped OPA with CW-seeding delivered 5-ps long pulses with up to 200kW peak power in the waveguide. With a cylindrical telescope the beam was transformed into a very wide elliptical beam to approximate the breather background. The beam was end -fire coupled into the FW TM () mode. A variable few \% of the beam were separated and coupled with a tilt and good overlap to the main beam into the waveguide to produce a spatial modulation of the input with adjustable period and modulation depth. A beam width of 1.5mm was large enough in the compromise between available beam power and infinite beam width.

The volume and cost of the filter capacitor represents a major challenge in closely integrated high power integrated modular motor drives and techniques are needed to minimize this. The DC-link capacitor requires a large ripple current handling capability and cost, size and reliability limitations result in suitable candidate technologies being those with low volumetric energy densities.

However, most of the proposed concepts are not useful for measuring dc magnetic fields, because the conductivity of piezoelectric layers results in a strong decline of the sensor's sensitivity at low frequencies. In this paper, a novel functional principle of magnetoelectric sensors for dc magnetic field measurements is described. The sensor employs the nonlinear effect of voltage harmonic generation in a composite magnetoelectric structure under the simultaneous influence of a strong imposed ac magnetic field and a weak dc magnetic field to be measured. This physical effect arises due to the nonlinear dependence of the magnetostriction in the ferromagnetic layer on the magnetic field. A sensor prototype comprising of a piezoelectric fibre transducer sandwiched between two layers of the amorphous ferromagnetic Metglas (R) alloy was fabricated. The specifications regarding the magnetic field range, frequency characteristics, and noise level were studied experimentally. The prototype showed the responsivity of 2.5 V mT(-1) and permitted the measurement of dc magnetic fields in the range of similar to 10 nT to about 0.4 mT. Although sensor operation is based on the nonlinear effect, the sensor response can be made linear with respect to the measured magnetic field in a broad dynamic range extending over 5 orders of magnitude. The underlying physics is explained through a simplified theory for the proposed sensor. The functionality, differences and advantages of the magnetoelectric sensor compare well with fluxgate magnetometers.

It works in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 500 Hz, where surfactant exchange dynamics governs the relaxation process. The originality of instrument design is the consistent combination of modern measurement technologies with advanced imaging and signal processing algorithms. Key steps on the way to reliable and precise measurements are the excitation of harmonic oscillation of the bubble, phase sensitive evaluation of the pressure response, adjustment and maintenance of the bubble shape to half sphere geometry for compensation of thermal drifts, contour tracing of the bubbles video images, removal of noise and artefacts within the image for improving the reliability of the measurement, and, in particular, a complex trigger scheme for the measurement of the oscillation amplitude, which may vary with frequency as a result of resonances. The corresponding automation and programming tasks are described in detail. Various programming strategies, such as the use of MATLAB (R) software and native C++ code are discussed. An advance in the measurement technique is demonstrated by a fully automated measurement.

Moreover, at temperatures below ca. 0.5 K and in a small interval of velocity amplitudes between and a velocity that is about 2 \% larger, the flow pattern is found to be unstable, switching intermittently between potential flow and turbulence.

A broadband (3 dB bandwidth is larger than 10 Hz at an acceleration amplitude of 9.81 m s(-2)) vibration based energy harvester is proposed for transducing mechanical energy at such low frequencies into electrical energy. The mechanical setup converts low frequency mechanical vibrations into high frequency resonance oscillations of the transducer. This conversion is done by mechanical impacts on two mechanical stoppers. The originality of the presented design is that both low-frequency and high-frequency oscillators are permanently mechanically coupled. In the equivalent mechanical circuit, this coupling is achieved by connecting the ends of the stiff spring to both seismic masses, whereas one seismic mass (collison member) is also attached to the soft spring used as the constitutive element of a low-frequency oscillator. Further, both mechanical oscillators are not realized as conventional cantilever beams. In particular, the high frequency oscillator with the natural frequency of 340 Hz is a disc-shaped diaphragm with attached piezoelectric elements and a seismic mass. It is shown that it is possible to convert mechanical vibrations with acceleration amplitude of 9.81 m s(-2) in the region between approximately 7 and 25 Hz into electrical power larger than 0.1 mW with the maximum value of 0.8 mW.

Increasing the velocity amplitude above leads to a transition from potential flow to turbulence, where the large turbulent drag force varies as . In a small velocity interval \% above , the flow is unstable below 0.5 K, switching intermittently between both patterns. From time series recorded at constant temperature and driving force, the lifetimes of both phases are analyzed statistically.
