Abstract: A method is presented for the simulation of fluid networks consisting of uniform distributed elements and lumped dynamic, nonlinear elements. The uniform transmission elements may be lossy and ...

Abstract: A novel pneumatic acceleration sensor utilizing a single gas-bearing supported element is described. System damping and pneumatic signal output are obtained by reverse-flow flapper-nozzle valves ...

Abstract: An inference of the summed cross-sectional area of the airway network of the lung as a function of distance from the airway opening can be obtained noninvasively by inversion of high-frequency ...

Abstract: We describe a transient forced oscillation method for measurement of the input impedance of excised canine lungs. The technique employs a single uncalibrated data channel to record short duration ...
