A low-power 1.6-GHz phase-locked loop (PLL) based on a novel supply-regulated voltage-controlled oscillator (SR-VCO) including an active-loop filter (ALF) is realized. In this PLL, an active RC filter is combined with SR-VCO, achieving the advantages of ALF PLL without penalties in power consumption or phase noises. The PLL has measured rms jitter of 4.82 ps, and its core consumes 990 μW from 1...

This paper describes a dual delay-locked loop architecture which achieves low jitter, unlimited (modulo 2 ) phase shift, and large operating range. The architecture employs a core loop to generate coarsely spaced clocks, which are then used by a peripheral loop to generate the main system clock through phase interpolation. The design of an experimental prototype in a 0.8m CMOS technology is des...

Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management has evolved to be a mature area of supply chain management in its own right. Guide and Van Wassenhove (2009) describe how this research began with focusing on tactical and operational issues such as the disassembly of products or shop-floor control and coordination, and later started addressing issues pertaining to the entire reverse supply chain such ...

This paper studies coordination and competition issues in a closed-loop supply chain. The supply chain consists of two competing manufacturers who collect the used-product for remanufacturing through a common retailer. We obtain the optimal wholesale prices, and the optimal fraction of collection for the two cases: case1 (uncoordinated system) and case2 (channel-coordinated system). Furthermore...

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Siping Road, 200092 Shanghai, China Abstract This paper considers a pricing and remanufacturing problem in closed-loop supply chain which includes one dominant manufacturer and one retailer under uncertain environment. The remanufacturing cost, market demand, and collection cost are characterized as unce...

Closed loop supply chain aims at integrating return products in the traditional supply chain processes. The return flows generate new uncertain elements (returns and leadtimes) and optimization of inventory control in this context is a complex issue. Inventory policies have to generate good performances (service level, cost) and be easy to implement in practice. A supply chain model based on si...

At the strategic level, closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management involves long-term decisions regarding the location and capacity allocation of forward/reverse logistics facilities, the assignment of products to facilities, and the distribution of products between facilities and their end users or suppliers. Both demand and return handling must be taken into account, and the overall problem b...
