Different types of planar broadband slow-wave systems are used for designing microwave devices. The papers published by Lithuanian scientists analyze and investigate the models of helical and meander slow-wave systems. The article carefully examines the applications of meander slow-wave systems and presents the areas where similar systems, e.g. mobile devices, RFID, wireless technologies are used and reviewed nowadays. The paper also focuses on the examples of the papers discussing antennas, filters and couplers that contain designed and fabricated meander slow-wave systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with a problem of experimental investigation and numerical simulation of gas aerodynamics of a multi-channel spiral cyclone with a tangential inlet. The paper presents an overview of experimental and theoretical works on the cyclones having a particularly complex turbulent flow and focuses on three-dimensional transport differential equations for a non-compressible laminar and turbulent flow inside the cyclone. The equations have been solved applying the numerical finite volume method using the RNG (Re-Normalisation Group) k-ε turbulence model. The numerical simulation of the flow cyclone has been carried out. The height of the cyclone is 0.80 m with 0.33 m in diameter, the height of the spiral-cylindrical part -0.098 meters and that of the cone - 0.45 m. Inlet dimensions (cylindrical part on the side), in accordance with drawings makes axb = 28x95 mm. The mathematical model for the air traffic movement cyclone has accounted for Navier-Stokes (Reynolds) three-dimensional differential equations. The simulation results have been obtained with reference to the cyclone of tangential velocity profiles using RNG k-ε turbulence model. The inlet velocity of 5.1 m/s slightly differs from experimental results, thus making an error of 7%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with pneumatic muscle MAS-20-200N-AA-MC-O, its dynamic properties and positioning accuracy as well as overviews experimental and theoretical works. The paper introduces the diagrams of vibration acceleration, discusses displacement dependence on pressure and load and presents a diagram of speed dependence on operating pressure. Vibroacceleration has been measured employing two accelerometers. Measurements have been carried out in three mutually perpendicular directions: x, y and z. The most important one is direction z, because this way the muscle performs a valuable displacement along the axis of the muscle, since this direction is the movement of the working muscle.

The paper presents modelling precise dual axis flexure-based precision positioning systems for micro-positioning applications. The positioning system is featured with monolithic architecture, flexure-based joints and piezo stacks. Its workspace has been evaluated via analytical approaches. Amplification mechanism is optimally designed. The mathematical model of the positioning system has been derived and verified by resorting to finite element analysis (FEA). The established analytical and (FEA) models are helpful for optimizing reliable architecture and improving the performance of the positioning system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artificial neural networks (ANN) have recently gained attention as fast and flexible equipment for modeling and designing microwave devices. The paper reviews the opportunities to use them for undertaking the tasks on the analysis and synthesis. The article focuses on what tasks might be solved using neural networks, what challenges might rise when using artificial neural networks for carrying out tasks on microwave devices and discusses problem-solving techniques for microwave devices with intermittent characteristics.
