As the particles rebound, they compress an adjacent region, and so on down the line to generate a travelling wave.

An algorithm based on travelling wave dynamics controlled the timing difference between the Walk Mate's input and output.

When a pattern of electrical pulses passes round the ring, the distortions create a travelling wave which extends or contracts the lens to focus it.

Moreover, in fields like solar cells, travelling-wave tubes and read-out integrated circuits, there is either only one domestic supplier or a financially weak supplier.

These reflect subthreshold membrane potentials and strongly modulate the spiking of hippocampal neurons and synchronise across the hippocampus in a travelling wave pattern.

They were considered to be limited to a single shock wave travelling at several times the speed of sound.

It's as though some slow-travelling psych-wave has taken four decades to roll eastwards from Haight-Ashbury and has finally broken in Williamsburg.

For example, a plane travelling at Mach 15 would produce a needle-shaped shock wave.
