The paper presents a new quasi adiabatic logic family that uses two complementary split-level sinusoidal power supply clock for digital low power applications such as sensors. The proposed two-phase adiabatic static CMOS logic circuit (2PASCL) is using the principle of energy recovery and adiabatic switching. It has switching activity that is lower than dynamic logic and can be directly derived...

Three experiments examined the effects of image decorrelation on the stereoscopic detection of sinusoidal depth gratings in static and dynamic random-dot stereograms (RDS). Detection was found to tolerate greater levels of image decorrelation as: (i) density increased from 23 to 676 dots/deg2; (ii) spatial frequency decreased from 0.88 to 0.22 cpd; (iii) amplitude increased above 0.5 arcmin; an...

This paper proposes a new BIST (Built-In Self-Test) method for static testing of an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) with transition detection method. The proposed BIST uses a triangle-wave as an input test stimulus and calculates the ADC’s static parameters. Simulation results show that the proposed BIST can test both rising and falling transitions with minimal hardware overhead. key words: A...

Conventional liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo vessels are imposed with tank-fill limitations as precautions to prevent structural damage and stability-loss due high-impact sloshing, enforcing volume-fills be lower than 10% or higher 70% of the tank height. The restrictions, however, limit commercial operations, specifically when handling spot trades offshore loading/unloading at multiple ports...

Wave, antenna impedance, plasma density, and temperature anisotropy measurements are carried out for a helicon plasma source in nonuniform and uniform static magnetic fields. Strong axial density gradients associated with the nonuniform magnetic fields are observed to affect wave fields, absorption, and source efficiency. The wave field and antenna input impedance measurements are compared with...

Traditionally, static linearity and dynamic distortion tests are performed separately for ADCs. To this end, a low-frequency sinewave is histogrammed to measure static Integral Nonlinearity, and a high-frequency sine-wave is sampled for FFT processing to measure dynamic distortions and dynamic range. We propose to use a model-based technique to extract both static and dynamic nonlinearities fro...

in this paper, on the basis of a new strain gradient elasticity theory, wave propagation in rectangular nanoplates by considering in-plane magnetic field is studied. this strain gradient theory has two gradient parameters and has the ability to compare with the nonlocal elasticity theory. from the best knowledge of author, it is the first time that this theory is used for investigating wave pro...
