A sensor array employs a parameter to induce a time-varying phase angle phi on an optical signal that comprises a phase generated carrier. The phase angle phi is calculated through employment of only four samples, where all the four samples are based on the optical signal.

True zero-clearance cutting on a commercial scale is provided via a cutting area including a sacrifice material that is relatively softer than the cutter. One example is a cutting system which is capable of cutting a material such as, for example, tape or paper, into a fiber or powder. Destruction of the material is further enhanced by advantageous strategic patterning of cutting edges on a rotary...

A method and device for vehicle control are proposed. When it is judged that a transmission is in an operation state (Step S200) and the current state is not a creep driving state (Step S202), it is determined that a normal gear shift is being performed. Then, an anti-jerk function is stopped (Step S208). Further, when it is judged that the current state is the creep driving state (Step S202) and ...
