18 Mar 1996TL;DR: The spherical construction offers extraordinary motion properties in cases where turning over or falling down are risks for the robot to continue its motion, and has full capability to recover from collisions with obstacles or another robots traveling in the environment.
Abstract: The paper deals with dynamics and control of a special type of mobile robot designed to act as a small platform to carry sensing devices or actuators in an environment where stability of the platform is critical, like in surveying unstructured hostile industrial environment exploring other planets, or simply being a part of a human place, like office or home, which has not been designed for mobile machines. The spherical construction offers extraordinary motion properties in cases where turning over or falling down are risks for the robot to continue its motion. Also it has full capability to recover from collisions with obstacles or another robots traveling in the environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide experimental design guidelines tailored ytterbium and erbium-based pumps around 1060 and 1550 nm, respectively, for supercontinuum generation in optical fibers.
Abstract: We review supercontinuum generation in optical fibers for particular cases where the nonlinear spectral broadening is induced by pump radiation from fiber-format sources. Based on numerical simulations, our paper is intended to provide experimental design guidelines tailored ytterbium and erbium-based pumps around 1060 and 1550 nm, respectively. In particular, at 1060 nm, we consider conditions under which the generated spectra are phase and intensity stable, and we address the dependence of the supercontinuum coherence on the input pulse parameters and the fiber length. At 1550 nm, special attention is paid to the case of dispersion-flattened dispersion-decreasing fiber, where we revisit the underlying physics in detail and explicitly examine the use of such fiber for supercontinuum generation with pumps of peak power in the range 200-1200 W and sub-10 m fiber lengths. We show that supercontinuum generation under such conditions can be highly coherent and can be applied to nonlinear pulse compression.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the problem of obtaining unique estimates of the parameters μ m and K s of the Michaelis-Menten equation for a microbial batch growth process.
Abstract: The reason for difficulties in obtaining unique estimates of the parameters μ m and K s of the Michaelis-Menten equation are analysed for a microbial batch growth process. With the aid of simulation studies in which the influences of different types of noise on the parameter estimates are compared, it is shown that, although theoretically identifiable in the deterministic case with ideal measurements, the parameters cannot in general be correctly determined from noisy measurements. The difficulties are further illuminated by estimation examples using real data. It certain situations, in which the value of the ratio K s / s o is high or in which only few and noisy measurements are available, the linear approximation of the Michaelis-Menten equation gives a better fit. The practical difficulties in obtaining correct values of the model parameters do not limit the applicability of the Michaelis-Menten model, which in most cases explains the bacterial growth behavior excellently. Rather, they underline the fact that care must be taken when utilizing parameter estimates for biological interpretations.
