Example Sentences
- "Using metal rollers to simulate the earth's cylindrical eddy currents, the team found some interesting results after beginning with a few viscosity problems. "...a more efficient geometry was found, so efficient that the dynamo would self-excite in a completely homogeneous state (i.e. with no insulation ) at a much lower rotor speed than was believed possible" [12] ."
- "The induction generator can self-excite using the external capacitor only if the rotor has an adequate remnant magnetic field."
- "This so-called "field flashing" reestablishes the residual magnetism to allow the generator to self-excite."
- "Thus warning systems can self-excite when they go on alert: When a decision maker thinks that an attack is likely, he will place more credence in reports indicating that a war is imminent than he would if the same information were received in a period of calm, and actions of the other side that usually would be missed or seen as innocent will be perceived as evincing hostile intentions."
- "In a subsequent revision of the RI hypothesis, mutually excitatory interactions between cholinergic and glutamatergic neurons underlie the rapidly escalating firing of pontine reticular REM-on neurons during REM sleep and cholinergic REM-on cells both self-excite and self-inhibit via cholinergic autoreceptors."
- "When both neurons self-excite themselves and have the same mutual interaction pattern, the mechanism of creation of a new attractive fixed point is shown to be that of saddle node bifurcation."
