Usage examples of oscillator.

In the synchronized state, both of the other oscillators have voltage 0 too.

The end result was a population split into a synchronized pack and a disorganized band of fringe oscillators.

As he made the distribution even narrower, more and more oscillators were co-opted into the synchronized pack.

As the diversity is reduced and the oscillators become more similar, the order parameter rises as the synchronized pack conscripts more of the population.

Cesium oscillators, hydrogen masers, satellites, and synchronizers opened an unlikely door to wonder - one which led him to relativity, radioactivity, and nuclear science.

And the result of those conversations is often synchrony, in which all the oscillators begin to move as one.

The resulting positive feedback process led to a runaway, accelerating outbreak of synchrony, in which many oscillators rushed to join the emerging consensus.

In 1995, the biologists David Welsh and Steve Reppert at Massachusetts General Hospital discovered that the brain does contain a population of oscillators with distributed natural frequencies, which do pull one another into synchrony, and which do make a more accurate oscillator en masse than individually.

This approximation is the sociological analog of the all-to-all coupling we encountered in the simplest oscillator models, where every firefly can see every other.

One set their sealer back to zero, and the oscillator began again to tick.

Like any other biological population, these oscillators were bound to be diverse: Some would be inherently faster than others, preferring to fire 12 times a second, while others might run slow, firing only 8 times a second, though most would be somewhere in the middle, with natural frequencies close to 10 cycles a second.

And as for nonlinear techniques, the few that were available were restricted to very small systems, like a single oscillator or two coupled oscillators.

For the kind of question he was asking, about the population dynamics of thousands of interacting nonlinear oscillators, he would have to find his own way.

He made sure he was out of the field effect of the miniature microwave oscillator, what Berrier had described as an updated, state-of-the-art Tesla Coil.

The convolver that she needed was little more than a nonlinear oscillator, and there were resistors and capacitors in the signal generator that could perform dual functions.
