This paper proposes an ultra-low power CMOS random number generator (RNG), which is based on an oscillator-sampling architecture. The noisy oscillator consists of a dual-drain MOS transistor, a noise generator and a voltage control oscillator. The dual-drain MOS transistor can bring extra-noise to the drain current or the output voltage so that the jitter of the oscillator is much larger than t...

Dynamic behaviors of a particle or a bouncing ball in a generalized Fermi-acceleration oscillator are investigated. The motion switching of a particle in the Fermi-oscillator causes the complexity and unpredictability of motion. Thus, the mechanism of motion switching of a particle in such a generalized Fermi-oscillator is studied through the theory of discontinuous dynamical systems, and the c...

hepatitis b vaccination is safe and effective, although breakthrough infection occasionally occurs in those who receive the vaccine and hepatitis b immunoglobulin (hbig) prophylaxis. sequence variation in their antigenic regions is one of the most powerful strategies that are used by viruses to escape recognition by b and t cell-mediated immune responses. the aim of this study was to explore th...

abstract objectives: interruption of rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has become a leading therapeutic strategy in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy however, aceis and arbs do not uniformly suppress the rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. plasma aldosterone levels are elevated in a group of patients despite therapy and this phenomenon known as aldosterone escape or aldosterone break...

In this paper, a new modified Chua oscillator is introduced. The original Chua oscillator is well known for its simple implementation and mathematical modeling. A modification of the oscillator is proposed in order to facilitate the synchronization and the encryption and decryption scheme. The modification consists in changing the nonlinear term of the original oscillator to a smooth and bounde...

The “position” and “momentum” operators for the q-deformed oscillator with q being a root of unity are proved to have discrete eigenvalues which are roots of deformed Hermite polynomials. The Fourier transform connecting the “position” and “momentum” representations is also found. The phase space of this oscillator has a lattice structure, which is a non-uniformly distributed grid. Non-equidist...

Single LC oscillators are known for their good phase noise performance. In this paper we analyse the effect of cross-coupling two LC oscillators in order to provide quadrature outputs, which are mandatory in modern transceiver architectures. We present a theoretical study that shows that due to coupling a frequency shift exists and the oscillator quality factor is reduced, leading to a poorer p...

We tested predictions of a computational model (Hill et al., 2002) of the leech heartbeat timing network. The timing network consists of two segmental oscillators located in the third (G3) and fourth (G4) segmental ganglia. Each oscillator consists of two reciprocally inhibitory oscillator interneurons along with the coordinating interneuron fibers that link them. In the model, the network was ...

This paper presents a ring oscillator with the function of the oscillation controlled for wireless sensor systems (WSSs). The proposed oscillator consists of a NAND gate, 4 inverters, and 1-, 3-, 9-times buffer stage. Operation of it is controlled by the NAND gate. The oscillator can reduce the power loss because the oscillator is oscillated during only high level input. The proposed oscillator...
