NAND flash is a key storage technology in modern computing systems. Without it, many devices would probably not exist today or would at least not benefit from as many features. The very large success of this technology motivated massive efforts to scale it down in order to increase its density further. However, NAND flash is currently facing physical limitations that prevent it reaching smaller...

Miniaturization has evolved in the creation of a pocket-size imaging device which can be utilized as an ultrasound stethoscope. This study assessed the additional diagnostic power of pocket size device by both experts operators and trainees in comparison with physical examination and its appropriateness of use in comparison with standard echo machine in a non-cardiologic population. Three hundr...

A unified, closed form analytical drain current model for partially and fully depleted SOS MOSFETs was investigated. The analytical model was developed using first order principles of operation of the device and basic explanation of the physical constraints responsible for hot carriers effects. The approach solved for the channel field to find closed form solutions for the critical voltages giv...

We present a virtual digital camera sensor, whose aim is to simulate a real (physical) image capturing sensor. To accomplish this task, the virtual sensor operates in two steps. First, it accepts a physical description of a given scene and simulates the entire process of photon sensing and charge generation in the sensor device. This process is affected by noise, mostly photon noise. Second, it...

Identification of physical parameters for soft objects is very important for surgical simulation, human modeling and food engineering. This paper presented a method to identify the physical parameters of uniform rheological deformation based on 1D FE model simulations. Firstly, the real parameters were given to the model and simulations were done. Then, simulation results were analyzed and iden...

In this paper, we present a framework for digital forensics that includes an investigation process model based on physical crime scene procedures. In this model, each digital device is considered a digital crime scene, which is included in the physical crime scene where it is located. The investigation includes the preservation of the system, the search for digital evidence, and the reconstruct...
