A bi-state bifurcation-based control system and method for nonlinear resonators, which
utilizes a control loop to servo on the edge of the bifurcation jump, either at the maximum …

Parametric resonance provides a sharp jump in resonance amplitude at the bifurcation
setpoint and is, therefore, ideal for ultrasensitive detection of mass or stress shifts that modify …
