The consumption of power has become an important issue in modern VLSI design. Power consumption can be reduced by replacing some flip-flops with fewer multi-bit flip-flops. Multi-bit flip-flop is one of the methods for clock power consumption reduction. This project focuses on reduction of power using multi-bit flipflops by clock synchronization. Two single bit flip-flops are synchronized with ...

Valproic acid (VPA) is a short, branched fatty acid with broad-spectrum anticonvulsant activity. It has been suggested that VPA acts directly on the plasma membrane. We calculated the free energy of interaction of VPA with a model lipid bilayer using simulated annealing and the continuum solvent model. Our calculations indicate that VPA is likely to partition into the bilayer both in its neutra...

Operation of a novel wavelength selective electro-optic flip-flop is demonstrated. The flip-flop consists of an anti-reflection coated two-section semiconductor laser diode with optical feedback from two fiber Bragg gratings. Electrical set and reset signals cause the lasing output to toggle between two distinct lasing wavelengths with a mode suppression ratio of greater than -35 dBm.

A modified Linear Feedback Shift Register is designed in which power consumption reduction by deactivating the clock signal to Flip Flop when the output signal is same as input signal. The power consumption of the new LFSR is reduced due to the reduced switching of Flip Flop To verify, the maximum, minimum and average

AMPA receptors are hetero-oligomers composed of subsets of four distinct subunits, termed GluR1, GluR2, GluR3, and GluR4. Using quantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis, we have found that light-induced degeneration of rat retina dramatically suppresses developmental progression of the flip-to-flop alternative splicing switch of retinal GluR1 mRNA. When animals were raised under standard...

The ‘flip-flop’ phenomenon has now been found to occur on several late-type stars: active longitudes, associated with dark regions of the surface, are seen to jump by 180◦. A simple non-linear non-axisymmetric mean field dynamo model is described, in which for the first time magnetic behaviour is found that is akin to the observed flip-flop.

A multiway arbiter may be constructed from an interconnected structure of inverting gates which is a generalisation of the bistable flip-flop. Features of the dynamic behaviour of such a ‘multi-flop’ are illustrated by analysis and simulation based on a very simple non-linear dynamic model of each gate. Limitations of such a component as an arbiter are explained.

Thanks to the highly effective memory bandwidth of the vector systems, they can achieve the high computation efficiency for computation-intensive scientific applications. However, they have been encountering the memory wall problem and the effective memory bandwidth rate has decreased, resulting in the decrease in the bytes per flop rates of recent vector systems from 4 (SX-7 and SX-8) to 2 (SX...
