Evolving Image Sensor Architecture through Stacking Devices

3D-stacking architecture for low-noise high-speed image sensors

In this paper, architectures for low-noise high-speed image sensors based on 3D stacking technology are discussed. Effectiveness of the 3D-stacking technology for low-noise high-speed image sensors is demonstrated in an implementation of a 33Mpixel 240fps 3D-stacked CMOS image sensor based on 12b 3-stage cyclic-based pipelined ADCs. For extremely low noise and wide dynamic range imaging, highly...

Modular Extracellular Sensor Architecture for Engineering Mammalian Cell-based Devices

Engineering mammalian cell-based devices that monitor and therapeutically modulate human physiology is a promising and emerging frontier in clinical synthetic biology. However, realizing this vision will require new technologies enabling engineered circuitry to sense and respond to physiologically relevant cues. No existing technology enables an engineered cell to sense exclusively extracellula...

Evolving Teleo-Reactive Programs for Block Stacking using Indexicals through Genetic Programming

This paper demonstrates how strongly-typed genetic programming may be used to evolve valid teleo-reactive programs that solve the general block-stacking problem using indexicals.

CMOS Image Sensor Architecture for Primal-Dual Coding

A CMOS image sensor architecture for primal-dual coding (PDC), the developed image sensor and the sensing side of the system, as well as preliminary sensor test results are presented in this paper. The architecture proposed in this work uses pixels with the embedded 2-bit latches which are responsible for the pre-loading and storing of the exposure codes. The subsequent exposure code (mask) can...
