We introduce Central McCoy rings, which are a generalization of McCoy rings and investigate their properties. For a ring R, we prove that R is right Central McCoy if and only if the polynomial ring R[x] is right Central McCoy. Also, we give some examples to show that if R is right Central McCoy, then Mn(R) and Tn(R) are not necessary right Central McCoy, but Dn(R) and Vn(R) are right Central McCoy, where Dn(R) and Vn(R) are the subrings of the triangular matrices with constant main diagonal and constant main diagonals, respectively.

In the present paper we concentrate on a natural generalization of NC-McCoy rings that is called J-McCoy and investigate their properties. We prove that local rings are J-McCoy. Also, for an abelian ring R, we show that R is J-McCoy if and only if eR is J-McCoy, where e is an idempotent element of R. Moreover, we give an example to show that the J-McCoy property does not pass Mn(R), but S(R; n);A(R; n);B(R; n) and T(R; n) are J-McCoy

We introduce the notion of J-Armendariz rings, which are a generalization of weak Armendariz rings and investigate their properties. We show that any local ring is J-Armendariz, and then fined a local ring that is not weak Armendariz., Comment: 9

For a ring endomirphism, we introduce the central skew Armendariz rings, which are a generalization of skew Armendariz rings and central Armendariz rings, and investigate their properties., Comment: 9 pages

A rigorous theoretical investigation has been made on electron acoustic wave propagating in unmagnetized collisionless plasma consisting of a cold electron fluid, non-thermal hot electrons and stationary ions. Based on the pseudo-potential approach, large amplitude potential structures and the existence of solitary waves are discussed. The reductive perturbation method has been employed to derive the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for small but finite amplitude electrostatic waves. An algebraic method with computerized symbolic computation, which greatly exceeds the applicability of the existing tanh, extended tanh methods in obtaining a series of exact solutions of the KdV equation. Numerical studies have been made using plasma parameters close to those values corresponding to the dayside auroral zone reveals different solutions i.e., bell-shaped solitary pulses, rational pulses and solutions with singularity at a finite points which called blowup solutions in addition to the propagation of an explosive pulses. The result of the present investigation may be applicable to some plasma environments, such as terrestrial magnetosphere., Comment: 15 pages include 8 figures

A theoretical investigation has been made of electron acoustic wave propagating in unmagnetized collisionless plasma consisting of a cold electron fluid and isothermal ions with two different temperatures obeying Boltzmann type distributions. Based on the pseudo-potential approach, large amplitude potential structures and the existence of Solitary waves are discussed. The reductive perturbation method has been employed to derive the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for small but finite amplitude electrostatic waves. An algebraic method with computerized symbolic computation, which greatly exceeds the applicability of the existing tanh, extended tanh methods in obtaining a series of exact solutions of the KdV equation, is used here. Numerical studies have been made using plasma parameters close to those values corresponding to Earth's plasma sheet boundary layer region reveals different solutions i.e., bell-shaped solitary pulses and singularity solutions at a finite point which called "blowup" solutions, Jacobi elliptic doubly periodic wave, a Weierstrass elliptic doubly periodic type solutions, in addition to the propagation of an explosive pulses. The result of the present investigation may be applicable to some plasma environments, such as earth's magnetotail region and terrestrial magnetosphere., Comment: 18 pages contain 8 figures included in one file, add 2 references (12&13) and correct eq (3b)

A miniaturized instrumentation package comprising a (1) Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, (2) an inertial measurement unit (IMU) consisting largely of surface-micromachined sensors of the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) type, and (3) a microprocessor, all residing on a single circuit board, is part of the navigation system of a compact robotic spacecraft intended to be released from a larger spacecraft [e.g., the International Space Station (ISS)] for exterior visual inspection of the larger spacecraft. Variants of the package may also be useful in terrestrial collision-detection and -avoidance applications. The navigation solution obtained by integrating the IMU outputs is fed back to a correlator in the GPS receiver to aid in tracking GPS signals. The raw GPS and IMU data are blended in a Kalman filter to obtain an optimal navigation solution, which can be supplemented by range and velocity data obtained by use of (l) a stereoscopic pair of electronic cameras aboard the robotic spacecraft and/or (2) a laser dynamic range imager aboard the ISS. The novelty of the package lies mostly in those aspects of the design of the MEMS IMU that pertain to controlling mechanical resonances and stabilizing scale factors and biases.

This paper discusses the construction of solid-state frequency multiplier chains utilized far teraherz receiver applications such as the Herschel Space Observatory . Emphasis will he placed on the specific requirements to be met and challenges that were encountered. The availability of high power amplifiers at 100 GHz makes it possible to cascade frequency doublers and triplers with sufficient RF power to pump heterodyne receivers at THz frequencies. The environmental and mechanical constraints will be addressed as well as reliability issues.

A device to protect electronic circuitry from high voltage transients is constructed from a relatively thin piece of conductive composite sandwiched between two conductors so that conduction is through the thickness of the composite piece. The device is based on the discovery that conduction through conductive composite materials in this configuration switches to a high resistance mode when exposed to voltages above a threshold voltage.

Superconductor-Insulator Superconductor (SIS) tunnel junctions made of NbN/MgO/NbN and Nb/AlOx/Nb, with cross-sectional areas of about 0.30 and 0.25 micrometer(Sup2) respectively, fabricated and tested for use as mixers at frequencies near 205 GHz. Cross sections must be small to make capacitances of devices acceptably small for operation at this frequency. NbN and Nb good materials choices as superconductors because of high energy gap, and mechanically and electrically rugged and chemically stable.

Electrical characteristics of superconducting microstrip transmission lines measured at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. Submicron Josephson (super-conductor/insulator/superconductor) junctions used as both voltage-controlled oscillators and detectors to measure frequencies (in range of hundreds of gigahertz) of high-order resonant electromagnetic modes of superconducting microstrip transmission-line resonators. This oscillator/detector approach similar to vacuum-tube grid dip meters and transistor dip meters used to probe resonances at much lower frequencies.
