The benefits of oscillating disc cutting

The benefits of Oscillating Disc Cutting (ODC) over all conventional cutting techniques is that it is capable of breaking very hard rock at acceptable-to-good excavation rates with very low cutter forces. This paper outlines that the oscillating cutting action and the water jets as well as the inertial mass all serve to reduce cutter forces.

Understanding and analyzing the performance of MIMO systems from the microwave perspective

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless systems use multiple element antennas at the transmitter and receiver to offer improved capacity over conventional single antenna systems in a rich scattering environment. In this paper, the microwave perspective of operation of MIMO system is given. Following the new interpretation of operation, an electromagnetic model is introduced to assess the MIMO system transmission capacity. The proposed model is shown to provide good agreement with reported results in the literature.
