Dissipative voltage regulator system for minimizing heat dissipatio
Voltage regulator with multiple parallel power source sections
Voltage regulator provides improved voltage-regulating system in which power dissipation and consequent heat generation are minimized. Each power source section is controlled sequentially so that only one operates in a linear range at a time
A human factors approach to range scheduling for satellite control
Range scheduling for satellite control presents a classical problem: supervisory control of a large-scale dynamic system, with unwieldy amounts of interrelated data used as inputs to the decision process. Increased automation of the task, with the appropriate human-computer interface, is highly desirable. The development and user evaluation of a semi-automated network range scheduling system is described. The system incorporates a synergistic human-computer interface consisting of a large screen color display, voice input/output, a 'sonic pen' pointing device, a touchscreen color CRT, and a standard keyboard. From a human factors standpoint, this development represents the first major improvement in almost 30 years to the satellite control network scheduling task
c-Myc induced changes in higher order rDNA structure accompany growth factor stimulation of quiescent cells
Human c-Myc is believed to be a high level coordinator of protein synthesis capacity and cell growth rate, capable of activating transcription by all three nuclear RNA Polymerases. Direct activation of rDNA transcription by c-Myc is functionally conserved in rat cells, despite high divergence in non-coding rDNA sequences, suggesting that this coordinating role is likely to be a general within mammals. Upon re-feeding of starved cells, c-Myc activity enhances the efficiency of RNA Polymerase I and SL1/TIF-1B recruitment to the rDNA and rapidly induces higher order gene loop structures in rDNA chromatin that juxtapose upstream and downstream rDNA sequences. Furthermore c-Myc induced gene-loop formation in rDNA genes occurs independently of rDNA transcription, implying that it may be an early step in the re-programming of quiescent cells as they enter the growth cycle
Quantum state transfer between a Bose-Einstein condensate and an optomechanical mirror
In this paper we describe a scheme for state transfer between a trapped
atomic Bose condensate and an optomechanical end-mirror mediated by a cavity
field. Coupling between the mirror and the cold gas arises from the fact that
the cavity field can produce density oscillations in the gas which in turn acts
as an internal Bragg mirror for the field. After adiabatic elimination of the
cavity field we find that the hybrid system of the gas and mirror is described
by a beam splitter Hamiltonian that allows for state transfer, but only if the
quantum nature of the cavity field is retained
Form Factors from a Relativistic Dynamical Model of Pion Electroproduction
We obtain the electromagnetic form factors of the transition
by analyzing recent pion-electroproduction data using a fully relativistic
dynamical model. Special care is taken to satisfy Ward-Takahashi identities for
the Born term in the presence of form factors thereby allowing the use of
realistic electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon and pion. We parametrize
the dependence of the {\it bare} form factors by a
three-parameter form which is consistent with the asymptotic behavior inferred
from QCD. The parameters of the bare form factors are the
only free parameters of the model and are fitted to the differential
cross-section and multipole-analysis data up to (GeV/c) in the
-resonance region. This analysis emphasizes the significance of
the pion-cloud effects in the extraction of the resonance parameters.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, several small corrections, to be published in

Diffraction and trapping in circular lattices
When a single two-level atom interacts with a pair of Laguerre-Gaussian beams
with opposite helicity, this leads to an efficient exchange of angular momentum
between the light field and the atom. When the radial motion is trapped by an
additional potential, the wave function of a single localized atom can be split
into components that rotate in opposite direction. This suggests a novel scheme
for atom interferometry without mirror pulses. Also atoms in this configuration
can be bound into a circular lattice
