3-D technology promises higher integration density and lower interconnection complexity and delay. At present, however, not much work on circuit applications has been done due to lack of insight into 3-D circuit architecture and performance. In this paper, we investigate the interconnect distributions of 3-D circuits. We divide the 3-D interconnects into horizontal wires and vertical wires and ...

12 Combustion runs at 700 oC in a horizontal laboratory furnace were carried out on two 13 different electric wires (PVC and halogen-free wire). Tests were performed in the 14 presence and in the absence of the metal conductor of the wires. The analyses of the 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorobenzenes (CBzs), chlorophenols 16 (CPhs), monoto octa-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and diben...

At the first stage of the ATF2 beam tuning, vertical beam size is usually bigger than 3!m at the IP. Beam waist measurements using wire scanners and a laser wire are usually performed to check the initial matching of the beam through to the IP. These measurements are described in this paper for the optics currently used ("x=4cm and "y=1mm). Software implemented in the control room to automate t...

At large distances the electromagnetic field of a wire is the same as the field produced by a bunch. Such a longrange beam-beam wire compensator was proposed for the LHC, and single beam tests with wire compensators were successfully done in the SPS. RHIC offers the possibility to test the compensation scheme with colliding beams. We report on measurements of beam losses as a function of transv...

Abstract The aim of this work was to examine uniaxial, torsion, and multi-axial fatigue characteristics ER100S-1 low carbon steel specimens fabricated with wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technique, a subcategory directed energy deposition (DED). Two distinct specimen orientations were tested—vertical horizontal, extracted perpendicular parallel the WAAM deposited layers, respectively. F...

In preclinical trials, a sensitive functional test is required to detect changes in the motor behaviour of the SOD1G93A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We evaluated changes in body weight and motor impairment in behavioural tests, such as the rotarod, the hanging-wire test and the treadmill, of transgenic and wild type mice. We found differences in detection of the onset of ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether novices can distinguish between properly and improperly placed guidewires in a vascular access model after only minimal training. METHODS This was a prospective study involving trainees with no previous training in sonographic guidewire visualization. A vascular access model was created with guidewires positioned inside or adjacent to simulated veins. Subjects w...

The purpose of this paper is to present an advanced method for welding fine wire to metal sheet, namely laser indirect shock welding (LISW). This process uses silica gel as driver sheet to accelerate the metal sheet toward the wire to obtain metallurgical bonding. A series of experiments were implemented to validate the welding ability of Al sheet/Cu wire and Al sheet/Ag wire. It was found that...
