The Navy has a need for monitoring conditions and gathering information in marine
environments. Sensors can monitor and report environmental parameters and potential …

Disorder in parameters appears to influence the collective behavior of complex adaptive
networks in ways that might seem unconventional. For instance, heterogeneities may …

This paper is focused on the exploitation of intrinsic nonlinear dynamics toward novel
measurement systems and readout methodologies. In particular, sensors that can be …

A coupling inertial navigation sensor (INS) system may proven to be beneficial for
performance improvement, especially when the manufacturing yield is very low for meeting …

We study the effect of noisy oscillatory input on the signal discrimination by spontaneously
firing neurons. Using analytically tractable model, we contrast signal detection in two …

Coupled-core fluxgate magnetometer (CCFM), which is based on the coupling-induced
oscillations in bistable nonlinear dynamics, can achieve self-excitation and obtain superior …

Bistable systems are prevalently found in many sensor systems. Recently, we have explored
(unidirectionally) coupled overdamped bistable systems that admit self-sustained …

Magnetic hysteresis is one example of the nonlinearity that underpins many practical
applications, particularly in the field of magnetic sensors such as fluxgate magnetometers …

Fluxgate magnetometers are, possibly, the simplest and most convenient magnetic flux
sensors and yet capable, in controlled environments and with some well-conceived …

The seminal work by Lorenz in 1963 [264], and later by May in 1976 [273–275], has led
scientists and engineers to recognize that nonlinear systems can exhibit a rich variety of …
