This paper proposes two first-order all-pass filters using DDCCs as active elements, one resistor and one capacitor. Both proposed filters have two DDCCs, one grounded resistor and one grounded capacitor. Thus the two topologies are having minimum number of components and there is no need for matching constraints on passive components. The performance of the proposed circuits is examined using ...

BACKGROUND Positive-expiratory-pressure (PEP) therapy uses positive airway pressure generated by a either a fixed-orifice resistor or a threshold resistor. We hypothesized that tubing diameter and length, and the diameter of the PEP bottle's air-escape orifice would impact the PEP pressure delivered to the airway and determine whether the PEP bottle acts as a threshold resistor or a fixed-orifi...

Figure 1A shows an RC (resistor, capacitor) equivalent circuit model for a patch of passive neural membrane. The capacitor represents the fact that cellular membranes are good electrical insulators. The battery represents the sodium-potassium pump that acts to hold the electrical potential of the inside of the cell below that of the outside. This voltage difference is called the resting potenti...

2014 The rupture problem in a disordered system is investigated through numerical simulations and experiments in a discrete fusewire network. Statistical results on the current distribution and the maximum current as a function of the density of defects in the network are compared with theoretical interpretations. Specific defect interactions (enhancement and screening effects) are emphasized. ...

This article reports a novel ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET)-based crossbar array cascaded with an external resistor. The resistor is shunted the column of FeFET array, as current limiter and reduces impact variations in drain ( ${I}_{d}$ </tex-math...

Trust aware routing in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an important direction in designing routing protocols for WSN that are susceptible to malicious attacks. The common approach to provide trust aware routing is to implement an efficient reputation system. Reputation systems in WSN require a good rating approach that can model the information on the behavior of nodes in a way that represents...

In the present study, a model of a large Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery for use in the simulation of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) is developed. To attain this goal, an Equivalent Circuit (EC) consisting of a series resistor and two RC parallel networks is considered. The accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an HEV simulator are studied. The battery parameters identifica...

A formulation based on that of Stephen for randomly diluted systems near the percolation threshold is analyzed in detail. By careful consideration of various limiting procedures, a treatment of xy spin models and resistor networks is given which shows that previous calculations (which indicate that these systems having continuous symmetry have the same crossover exponents as the Ising model) ar...
