Many people are trying to be smarter every day. How's about you? There are many ways to evoke this case you can find knowledge and lesson everywhere you want. However, it will involve you to get what call as the preferred thing. When you need this kind of sources, the following book can be a great choice. sub threshold design for ultra low power systems integrated circuits and systems is the PD...

This paper compares the performance of the common 6T SRAM design and an improved 8T design in sub-threshold operation. Optimal parameters for the transistors are derived based on experimental data. The impact of process variation on SRAM’s performance and SNM are analyzed, together with redundancy as an alternative approach to reduce failure rate. Finally, in addition to bit-cells, various type...

Drawing on a representative sample of 152 couples, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the cross-lagged relationships between sub-threshold psychopathic traits in men and couple distress in both men and women over a twelve-month period. Path analyses showed that couple distress in men was related to an exacerbation of their primary psychopathic traits. There was a bidirectional re...

We present a new type of multi-class learning algorithm called a linear-max algorithm. Linearmax algorithms learn with a special type of attribute called a sub-expert. A sub-expert is a vector attribute that has a value for each output class. The goal of the multi-class algorithm is to learn a linear function combining the sub-experts and to use this linear function to make correct class predic...

Information processing in the brain crucially depends on the topology of the neuronal connections. We investigate how the topology influences the response of a population of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons to a stimulus. We devise a method to calculate firing rates from a self-consistent system of equations taking into account the degree distribution and degree correlations in the network. We ...

We present an algorithm that enables one to perform locally adaptive block thresholding, while maintaining image continuity. Images are divided into sub-images based some standard image attributes and thresholding technique is employed over the sub-images. The present algorithm makes use of the thresholds of neighboring sub-images to calculate a range of values. The image continuity is taken ca...

In order to achieve a longer battery life suppression of energy consumption is vital. A demand for design methods for less energy consumption is increasing. The subthreshold scaling can reduce energy per cycle significantly by the scaling of supply voltage (VDD) below threshold voltage (Vth). Threshold voltage of CMOS technology represents the value of the gate-source voltage when the current i...
