Ultra high resolution stepper motors design, development, performance and application
The design and development of stepper motors with steps in the 10 arc sec to 2 arc min range is described. Some of the problem areas, e.g. rotor suspension, tribology aspects and environmental conditions are covered. A summary of achieved test results and the employment in different mechanisms already developed and tested is presented to give some examples of the possible use of this interesting device. Adaptations to military and commercial requirements are proposed and show the wide range of possible applications
Performance of CAM based Safety Applications using ITS-G5A MAC in High Dense Scenarios
ETSI ITS-G5 is the current vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology in Europe, which will be standardized by ETSI TC ITS. It is based on IEEE 802.11p and therefore uses a CSMA/CA scheme for Media Access Control (MAC). In this paper we analyze the performance of CAM based safety applications using the ETSI ITS-G5 MAC technology in a challenging scenario with respect to MAC issues: A suitable freeway segment with 6 lanes in each direction. The freeway scenario is thoroughly modeled and implemented in the well known ns-3 simulation environment.
Based on this model, the paper shows the performance of CAM based safety applications under MAC challenging conditions. Therefore we provide a set of simulation results resting upon a particular performance metric which incorporates the key requirements of safety applications. Finally we analyze two concrete example scenarios to make a point how reliable CAM based safety applications are in high dense traffic scenarios
Towards a Formalization of pi-calculus Processes in Higher Order Abstract Syntax
Higher order abstract syntax is a natural way to formalize programming languages with binders, like the pi-calculus, because alpha-conversion and beta-reduction are delegated to the meta level of the provers, making tedious substitutions superfluous. However, such formalizations usually lack induction principles, and often give rise to exotic terms. Induction is necessary in syntax analysis, and certain important syntactic properties might be invalid in the presence of exotic terms. The paper introduces well formedness predicates for the pi-calculus with which exotic terms are excluded and, simultaneously, induction principles are obtained. The principles are then used in formal proofs of vital syntactic properties, mechanized in Isabelle/HOL.La syntaxe abstraite d'ordre supĂ©rieur est une technique pour la formalisation de langages comportant des constructions liantes tels que le pi-calcul. GrĂące Ă cette technique, l'utilisateur n'a pas Ă gĂ©rer explicitement une notion de substitution, l'alpha-conversion et la bĂ©ta-rĂ©duction faisant intervenir les variables du niveau meta; Cependant, dans une telle approche, l'on ne dispose pas de principe d'induction de maniĂšre naturelle, et de plus le langage tel qu'il est formalisĂ© peut englober des termes considĂ©rĂ©s comme exotiques; Dans ce travail nous dĂ©finissons des prĂ©dicats de bonne formation pour le pi-calcul permettant dâĂ©liminer les termes exotiques et fournissant des principes d'induction? Ceci rend possible la preuve de propriĂ©tĂ©s syntaxiques essentielles pour le pi-calcul., que nous formalisons dans le systĂšme Isabelle/HO
An HFB scheme in natural orbitals
We present a formulation of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations which
solves the problem directly in the basis of natural orbitals. This provides a
very efficient scheme which is particularly suited for large scale calculations
on coordinate-space grids.Comment: 5 pages RevTeX, (Postscript-file also available at

The rp-process and new measurements of beta-delayed proton decay of light Ag and Cd isotopes
Recent network calculations suggest that a high temperature rp-process could
explain the abundances of light Mo and Ru isotopes, which have long challenged
models of p-process nuclide production. Important ingredients to network
calculations involving unstable nuclei near and at the proton drip line are
-halflives and decay modes, i.e., whether or not -delayed proton
decay takes place. Of particular importance to these network calculation are
the proton-rich isotopes Ag, Ag, Cd and Cd. We
report on recent measurements of -delayed proton branching ratios for
Ag, Ag, and Cd at the on-line mass separator at GSI.Comment: 4 pages, uses espcrc1.sty. Proceedings of the 4th International

High-precision measurement of the half-life of Ga
The beta-decay half-life of 62Ga has been studied with high precision using
on-line mass separated samples. The decay of 62Ga which is dominated by a 0+ to
0+ transition to the ground state of 62Zn yields a half-life of T_{1/2} =
116.19(4) ms. This result is more precise than any previous measurement by
about a factor of four or more. The present value is in agreement with older
literature values, but slightly disagrees with a recent measurement. We
determine an error weighted average value of all experimental half-lives of
116.18(4) ms.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in PR
Alpha-decay lifetimes semiempirical relationship including shell effects
A new version of the semiempirical formula based on fission approach of alpha
decay is derived, by using the optimum values of the fitting parameters
determined for even-even nuclei, combined with hindrance factors for even-odd,
odd-even, and odd-odd nuclides. The deviations from experimental data for two
regions of nuclear chart (493 alpha emitters with Z=52-118 and 142 transuranium
nuclei including superheavies (Z=92-118), respectively) are compared with those
obtained by using the universal curve and the Viola-Seaborg semiempirical
relationship.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, revtex
