Evidence from pulsar wind nebula symmetry axes and radio polarization observations suggests that pulsar motions correlate with the spin directions. We assemble this evidence for young isolated pulsars and show how it can be used to…
We present a study of the gravitational time delay of arrival of signals from binary pulsar systems with rotating black hole companions. In particular, we investigate the strength of this effect (Shapiro delay) as a function of the…
Time--delayed feedback is exploited for controlling noise--induced motion in coherence resonance oscillators. Namely, under the proper choice of time delay, one can either increase or decrease the regularity of motion. It is shown that in…
It was recently shown that the use of feedback control can improve the performance of a flashing ratchet. We investigate the effect of a time delay in the implementation of feedback control in a closed-loop collective flashing ratchet,…
We discuss possible acceleration scenarios and methods for a mu+ mu- collider. The accelerator must take the beams from ~100 MeV to 2 TeV within the muon lifetime (2.2 x 10**(-6) E(mu)/m(mu) uS), while compressing bunches of 10**(12) muons…
In future normal-conducting linear colliders, the beams will be delivered in short bursts with a length of the order of 100 ns. The pulses will be separated by several ms. In order to maintain high luminosity, feedback is necessary on a…
An understanding of pulsar timing noise offers the potential to improve the timing precision of a large number of pulsars as well as facilitating our understanding of pulsar magnetospheres. For some sources, timing noise is attributable to…
Closed-loop or feedback control ratchets use information about the state of the system to operate with the aim of maximizing the performance of the system. In this paper we investigate the effects of a time delay in the feedback for a…
A complex digital circuit comprises of adder as a basic unit. The performance of the circuit depends on the design of this basic adder unit. The speed of operation of a circuit is one of the important performance criteria of many digital…

Aims: The binary pulsar PSR J1811-1736 has been identified, since its discovery, as a member of a double neutron star system. Observations of such binary pulsars allow the measurement of general relativistic effects, which in turn lead to…
The measurement error of pulse times of arrival (TOAs) in the high S/N limit is dominated by the quasi-random variation of a pulsar's emission profile from rotation to rotation. Like measurement noise, this noise is only reduced as the…
Recently we have reported on a compact microcontroller-based unit developed to accurately synchronise excimer laser pulses (Robert Mingesz et al, Fluct. Noise Lett. 11, 1240007 (2012), DOI: 10.1142/S021947751240007X, arXiv:1109.2632). We…

The ~800 yr-old pulsar J1846-0258 is a unique transition object between rotation-powered pulsars and magnetars: though behaving like a rotation-powered pulsar most of the time, in 2006 it exhibited a distinctly magnetar-like outburst…
We have found that there are two distinct emission modes in PSR B0809+74. Beside its normal and most common mode, the pulsar emits in a significantly different quasi-stable mode after most or possibly all nulls, occasionally for over 100…
