This paper describes a new digital design laboratory developed for undergraduate students in this electrical and computer engineering curriculum. A top-down rapid prototyping approach with commercial computer-aided design tools and field-programmable logic devices (FPLDs) is used for laboratory projects. Students begin with traditional transistor–transistor logic-based projects containing a few...

Design automation or computer-aided design (CAD) for reconfigurable computing system is giving a new concept of research and development in system design for present and future technological environment. The basic ability of reconfigurable computing is to perform computations in hardware to increase performance, while retaining the flexibility of application software. The purpose of this paper ...

statement of problem: recent clinical results for zirconia all-ceramic restorations have revealed that the fracture rate 6-15% of the zirconia framework is so low and the core of zirconia has high stability. however, chipping-off fractures of porcelain are the most common reason for failures of zirconia in the fixed partial dentures. objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare the shea...

This module presents the basic structure of combinational logic circuits, and introduces the use of computer aided design (CAD) tools in modern circuit design. Combinational logic circuits use networks of logic gates to produce outputs that change in strict relation to input changes; that is, an output can only change state immediately after an input changes state. In a combinational circuit, s...

 The DSCH program is a logic editor and simulator designed by a research group under the leadership of E.Sicard, a professor of INSA of Toulouse . DSCH is used to validate the architecture of the logic circuit before the microelectronics design is started. DSCH provides a user-friendly environment for hierarchical logic design, and fast simulation with delay analysis, which allows the design a...

This panel will discuss a rapidly expanding application area of databases: Computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). CAD is playing an important role in diverse fields such as logic design, printed wiring board design, chemical process control, structural engineering, architecture, aircraft and automobile design, design of mechanisms, cartography, etc. On the one hand, all these applic...

This paper presents a control model of the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming process of a tube. The theoretical part includes calculations to measure the change in tube thickness through the developed process. The hydroforming and the dual hydroforming processes are simulated in the SOLIDSIMULATION software and the static and the dynamic simulations are modeled. The obtained results for th...
