Untitled (Subject: Energy), Richard C. Heyser
Unpublished Writings
Fundamental energy relations are explored as a basis for the measurement of physical systems. By considering finite dimensional observations in linear Hilbert space it is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for the conservation of energy is the partitioning of any observation of that energy into two components which will be related through the Hilbert transform. The consequence of this relationship is demonstrated for the equilibrium storage of energy, point-wave duality in measurements, significance of complex representations involving circular form, the meaning of minimum phase and all-pass properties, and the introduction of new measurement characterizations such as the energy-time …

Unpublished Writings
In this paper, Richard C. Heyser explains the theories behind measuring sound by discussing its energy. Using what he calls abstract geometry, Heyser argues that measuring the transfer properties (that is, pressure and velocity) of sound's energy aids in the discovery of its amplitude and phase (or in-phase and quadrature).
