Abstract: A method for identifying a mechanical impedance of an electromagnetic load may include generating a waveform signal for driving an electromagnetic load and, during driving of the electromagnetic load by the waveform signal or a signal derived therefrom, receiving a current signal representative of a current associated with the electromagnetic load and a back electromotive force signal representative of a back electromotive force associated with the electromagnetic load. The method may also include implementing an adaptive filter to identify parameters of the mechanical impedance of the electromagnetic load, wherein an input of a coefficient control for adapting coefficients of the adaptive filter is a first signal derived from the back electromotive force signal and a target of the coefficient control for adapting coefficients of the adaptive filter is a second signal derived from the current signal.

Abstract: Comparing the performance of multiple versions or branches/paths of an application (e.g., a web service or application) may be conducted within a suitable computing environment. Such an environment may be virtual in nature, cloud-based, or server-based, and is hosted with tools for simultaneously (or nearly simultaneously) executing multiple containers or other code collections with the same or similar operating conditions (e.g., network congestion, resource contention, memory management schemes). By arranging the performance test of different application versions in different sequences executed in parallel in separate containers, fair comparisons of the tested applications will be obtained. Testing sequences may be executed multiple times, and metrics are collected during each execution. Afterward, the results for each metric for each code version are aggregated and displayed to indicate their relative performance quantitatively and/or qualitatively.
