A conductance formula is obtained which contains contributions due to both coherent and sequential tunneling. We discuss the limiting regimes of completely coherent tunneling and completely incoherent ...

A car that brought the visceral and inherent danger of driving a race car onto the road was the Caparo T1 sports car that ...

Around the time that the F40 was produced, automatic transmissions had been employed, but in relatively docile models like the 400 GT. The Dodge Viper, whether it be the first installment ...

We extend the formulation of position-based rods to include elastic volumetric deformations. We achieve this by introducing an additional degree of freedom per vertex -- isotropic scale (and its ...

A transmission is a vehicle’s gearbox. It’s roughly analogous to the gear shifter and chain system employed in bicycles. Transmission components are always mounted straight on the engine so that their ...

The single most important thing in a sequential sim-racing gearbox is that the clicks when changing gear are mechanically clear and distinct. Of course, it should feel like you are using a real ...

There are far more logical engine choices out there than the V-10, but clearly no one told Dodge, Lexus, Porsche, Audi or Lamborghini.

15-210 aims to teach methods for designing, analyzing, and programming sequential and parallel algorithms and data structures. The emphasis is on teaching fundamental concepts applicable across a wide ...

The Viper nameplate carried on from 1991 ... and it had the world’s first sequential manual transmission with seven forward gears. Later on, the M5 would be equipped with a six-speed manual ...

A next-gen Lagrange-Newton solver for nonconvex constrained optimization. Unifies barrier and SQP methods in a generic way, and implements various globalization flavors (line search/trust region and ...
