The effect of electron irradiation-induced shrinking on glass nanocapillaries with diameters ranging from 75 to 14 nm was analyzed by measuring the conductance characteristics with and without DNA translocation. We have investigated nanocapillary shrinking ...
Synchronization of oscillators based on anharmonic nanoelectromechanical resonators. Experimental implimentation allows for unprecedented observation and control of parameters governing the dynamics of synchronization. Close quantitative agreement is found ...
Frequency response function (FRF) measurements take a central place in the instrumentation and measurement field because many measurement problems boil down to the character- ization of a linear dynamic behavior. The major problems to be faced are leakage ...
Estimation of the temporal derivatives of a noisy position signal is a ubiquitous problem in industrial and robotics engineering. Here, we propose a new approach to get velocity and acceleration estimates of cyclical/periodic signals near to steady-state r ...
We propose a new approach to semi-automated delineation of curvilinear structures in a wide range of imaging modalities. Earlier approaches lack robustness to imaging noise, do not provide radius estimates for the structures and operate only on single chan ...

In this paper we present a new architecture for PLL-based high-speed demodulation of frequency-modulated AFM signals. In our approach, we use single-sideband frequency up-conversion to translate the AFM signal from the position sensitive detector to a fixe ...
In its most basic form an oscillator consists of a resonator driven on resonance, through feedback, to create a periodic signal sustained by a static energy source. The generation of a stable frequency, the basic function of oscillators, is typically achie ...
We present a model for phase noise that fits experimentally observed trends in our high performance optomechanical oscillators (OMO) demonstrating a phase noise of -102dBc/Hz at 1kHz offset from a 74MHz carrier. ...
A self-sustained Radiation-Pressure driven MEMS ring OptoMechanical Oscillator (RP-OMO) attaining an anchor-loss-limited mechanical Q-factor of 10,400 in vacuum has posted a best-to-date phase noise of -102 dBc/Hz at a 1 kHz offset from a 74 MHz carrier, m ...
