This paper presents the design and the implementation of input/output (I/O) interface circuits for Gb/s-per-pin operation, fully compatible with low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) standard. Due to the differential transmission technique and the low voltage swing, LVDS allows high transmission speeds and low power consumption at the same time. In the proposed transmitter, the required tol...

The output error of the globoidal cam mechanism can be considered as a relevant indicator of mechanism performance, because it determines kinematic and dynamical behavior of mechanical transmission. Based on the differential geometry and the rigid body transformations, the mathematical model of surface geometry of the globoidal cam is established. Then we present the analytical expression of th...

Neutral differential equations find numerous applications in natural science and technology. For instance, they are frequently used for the study of distributed networks containing lossless transmission lines; see Hale 1 . In recent years, many studies have been made on the oscillatory behavior of solutions of neutral delay differential equations, and we refer to the recent papers 2–23 and the ...

Most of gas sources are located in long distances from consumption centers. Gas is sent to final consumption points sometimes thousands kilometers far from their sources after extraction. So according to gas industries development and improvement of its transmission industries, technical developments are necessary in order to analyze the gas transmission system. In this study for the first time...

BACKGROUND It is widely accepted that influenza transmission dynamics vary by age; however methods to quantify the reproductive number by age group are limited. We introduce a simple method to estimate the reproductive number by modifying the method originally proposed by Wallinga and Teunis and using existing information on contact patterns between age groups. We additionally perform a sensiti...

The problem of sound transmission and reflection from unbounded panels of functionally graded materials is studied using an analytical approach. By means of matrix manipulation and Fourier component analysis, the three-dimensional (3-D) governing equations of elastodynamics are converted into a system of ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients in the frequency and wavenumber ...

Similar to the single-carrier transmission [1], the bit error rate (BER) performance of DS-CDMA in a frequency-selective fading channel can be significantly improved with coherent frequency-domain equalization (FDE) instead of using Rake combining [2][3]. However, coherent FDE requires accurate channel estimation and the imperfect channel estimation results in the performance degradation. For p...

Abstract The multiple-access interference (MAI) limits the performance of the DS-CDMA uplink transmission. 2D OVSF spread/chip-interleaved DS-CDMA is an MAI-free system, and hence single-user coherent frequency-domain equalization (FDE) can be used instead of complicated multiuser detection (MUD). However, coherent FDE needs channel estimation. Pilot-assisted channel estimation is not reliable ...

In heterogeneous network environments, the network connections of a multi-homed device may have significant bandwidth differential. For a multihomed transmission protocol designed for network failure tolerance, such as SCTP, path selection algorithms for data transmission drastically affect performance. This article studies the effect of path bandwidth differential on the performance of retrans...
