What is Mode: Definition and 324 Discussions

In x86 computing, unreal mode, also big real mode, huge real mode, flat real mode, or voodoo mode is a variant of real mode, in which one or more segment descriptors has been loaded with non-standard values, like 32-bit limits allowing access to the entire memory. Contrary to its name, it is not a separate addressing mode that the x86 processors can operate in. It is used in the 80286 and later x86 processors.

    Sliding mode observer gain -- How do I find it?

    Hi, I have a 2nd order of sliding mode observer of the form: \dot{\hat{x}} = \hat{f}(x,t) + \delta f + \Psi(u,y) +[ \frac{d \Omega}{dx}]^{-1} \upsilon where ##\upsilon##: \upsilon_1= \alpha_1 \lambda_1^{1/2} | y_1 -\hat{x}_1|^{1/2}*sign(y_1 -\hat{x}_1) \upsilon_2= \alpha_2...

    Input characteristics of a BJT in CB mode

    Homework Statement Does this mean that the forward bias p-n junction starts behaving as a conductor at very small input voltage i.e. of the order of 50 mV and it decreases as VCB increases? The two circuits i.e. forward bias circuit and reverse bias circuit are independent. Then why should...

    MATLAB Sliding mode observer in Matlab or Simulink

    Hi, I have designed a variable-based observer analytically on paper. Now it's time to implement it in Simulink/matlab. Suppose we have followings in a tire model. The EOM says: J\dot{\omega} = T-R_eF_x m\dot{v}_x = F_x where J is the inertia of the wheel, \omega is the angular velocity , m is...

    I Transmission in Single Mode Waveguide

    Hello there, I was wondering if the power profile of a single mode waveguide can be changed? I mean, a wave that travels through the waveguide will have a harmonic shape, right? Is it possible to get a different shape of the power profile? Thank you :)

    Why Does Mode Conversion Occur When a Longitudinal Wave Hits an Interface at an Oblique Angle?

    when a longitudinal wave beam hits the interface at an oblique angle, we can have both refracted longitudinal and transverse waves, so as with reflected.that's because some of longitudinal waves have converted to transverse waves.but why is that? what is the origin? p/s: sorry for bad English :(
