Remote plasma systems operating at moderate pressures (tens to hundreds of milli-Torr) are being developed for use in deposition and etching of microelectronics materials. In particular, remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (RPECVD) has been investigated for fabrication of μc-Si, Si3N4 and SiO2 films, as well as for plasma cleaning and passivation. RPECVD reactors typically consist...

Application size and complexity are the underlying cause of numerous security vulnerabilities in code. In order to mitigate the risks arising from such vulnerabilities, various techniques have been proposed to isolate the execution of sensitive code from the rest of the application and from other software on the platform (e.g. the operating system). However, even with these partitioning techniq...

The mobile adhoc network (MANET) requires effective intrusion response system. In this paper, we present an intrusion response system that supports the infrastructureless nature of MANETs. We propose a NHELLO and Link Layer based solution towards excluding malicious node which is robust against address spoofing from the attacker. In particular, we investigate how power adaption can be used to k...

In this paper, quantum efficiency (QE) measurements performed on type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice (T2SL) photodiodes operating in the mid-wavelength infrared domain, are reported. Several comparisons were made in order to determine the SL structure showing optimum radiometric performances : same InAs-rich SL structure with different active zone thicknesses (from 0.5μm to 4μm) and different active...

This paper addresses the problem of designing decentralized robust power system stabilisers for interconnected power systems by considering effects of parameter variations and interconnections from other generators. To make the controller robust against parameter variations around an operating point, variations in system parameters due to the load change are translated to the uncertainty framew...
