Vertical Double Gate (DG) Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is believed to suppress various short channel effect problems. The gate to channel coupling in vertical DG-MOSFET are doubled, thus resulting in higher current density. By having two gates, both gates are able to control the channel from both sides and possess better electrostatic control over the channel. In o...

Digital sub-threshold circuits are significant for ultra-low power (ULP) applications. Operating circuits at ultra-low voltage levels leads to the less power per operation. An optimized method is separating the logic blocks based on performance requirement and utilizing multiple-supply voltage (VDD) for each blocks. In order to prevent an enormous static current in these multi-VDD circuits, vol...

Sub-threshold operation has proven beneficial for energy-constrained systems, as it enables minimum energy consumption in logic circuits during active computation [1], and reduces leakage current in components that must be constantly powered. Previous sub-Vt research, for example a 0.13μm processor with an 8b ALU and 2Kb SRAM [2], has demonstrated substantial energy savings. However, process sc...

In this paper, we propose a restricted, adaptive threshold approach for the segmentation of images of the glottis acquired from high speed video-endoscopy (HSV). The approach involves first, identifying a region of interest (ROI) that encloses the vocal-fold motion extent for each image frame as estimated by the different image sequences. This procedure is then followed by threshold segmentatio...
