Intrinsic Area Array ICs: What, Why, and How

The Why, Who, What, How, and When of Patient Engagement in Healthcare Organizations: A Response to Recent Commentaries

An Intrinsic Area{array Pad Router for Ics

Arranging I/Os in a matrix array over the core circuitry of an IC generally provides 5{10 times more I/Os than the traditional method of restricting pads to the periphery. This approach also minimizes overall die size. In this paper we describe the development of a new area{array pad router which di ers from other approaches in that no additional metal layer is added (unless needed) and no redi...

Aging, Pensions and Long-term Care: What, Why, Who, How?; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”

Japan has been aging faster than other industrialized nations, and its experience offers useful lessons to others. Japan has been willing to expand its welfare state with a long-term care (LTC) insurance to finance home care and nursing home care for frail elderly. As Ikegami shows, it created new facilities and expanded specialized staffing for home care, developed a c...

Diffusion of Innovation in Mental Health Policy Adoption: What Should We Ask about the Quality of Policy and the Role of Stakeholders in this Process?; Comment on “Cross-National Diffusion of Mental Health Policy”

In his recent study, Gordon Shen analyses a pertinent question facing the global mental health research and practice community today; that of how and why mental health policy is or is not adopted by national governments. This study identifies becoming a World Health Organization (WHO) member nation, and being in regional proximity to countries which have adopted a mental health policy as suppor...

Category 6 cable—Gigabit Ethernet over copper

What do you think of when someone mentions local area data networks? The chances are you picture communications ICs, protocols, network-interface connectors—the high-profile elements that engineers immediately equate with linking PCs into systems. But you'd be entirely wrong to ignore or dismiss the interconnection hardware that glues the infrastructure together. There's a revolution going on h...
