An experimental method to characterize the crosstalk and afterpulsing in silicon photomultipliers has been developed and applied to two detectors fabricated by Hamamatsu. An analytical model of optical crosstalk that we presented in a previous publication has been compared with new measurements, confirming our results. Progresses on a statistical model to describe afterpulsing and delayed cross...

Coupled switched capacitance causes crosstalk in ultra deep submicron/nanometer VLSI fabrication, which leads to power dissipation, delay faults, and logical malfunctions. We present the first memoryless transition bus-encoding technique for power minimization, errorcorrection, and elimination of crosstalk simultaneously. To accomplish this, we generalize balanced sampling plans avoiding adjace...

Crosstalk in VLSI interconnects is a major constrain in DSM and UDSM technology. Among various strategies followed for its minimization, shield insertion between Aggressor and Victim is one of the prominent options. This paper analyzes the extent of crosstalk in inductively coupled interconnects and minimizes the same through distributed shield insertion. Comparison is drawn between signal volt...

A complete and accurate method for static timing analysis of deep sub-micron devices in presence of crosstalk is introduced. This scheme provides an eficient plarforrn forfast and accurate static timing verijcution of large scale transistor and cell level netlists, with coupled interconnects and high switching speeds. This paper presents the solution to the crosstalk problem implemented in the ...

We would like to thank the authors of 15] for providing V4R routing solutions and sharing the information of the V4R via counting procedure. We would like to thank Randall Helzerman for proofreading our manuscripts. 15 For the layer assignment problem in VLSI layout, we can always represent the penalties for connict and discontinuity using a cost matrix for each edge. We assume we have the cost...

here a radius of the sphere, η = Q 2 3ca , ~v = d~ R/dt, ~ R coordinate of the center of the shell, ~ Fext some external force. The term in RHS of eq.(1), proportional to η, describes the effect of radiation reaction (effect of retardation). This model is a good tool to consider effects of radiation reaction, free of problems of classical point-like Lorentz-Dirac description (see, for ex.[3]).

The phenomenon of beamstrahlung can give rise to potentially dangerous hadronic backgrounds due to minjet production at the future linear colliders as well as at the γγ colliders that are under consideration. In this talk I will review briefly the current estimates of these backgrounds and predictions of the eikonalised minijet model for σ inel γγ. I end by pointing out issues that need to be s...

The effect of crosstalk errors is most significant in highperformance circuits, mandating at-speed testing for crosstalk defects. This paper describes a self-test methodology that we have developed to enable on-chip at-speed testing of crosstalk defects in System-on-Chip interconnects. The self-test methodology is based on the Maximal Aggressor Fault Model [13], that enables testing of the inte...

Recent physiological studies in the kidney proposed the existence of a secondary feedback mechanism termed 'crosstalk' localized after the macula densa. This newly discovered crosstalk contact between the nephron tubule and its own afferent arteriole may potentially revolutionize our understanding of renal vascular resistance and electrolyte regulation. However, the nature of such a crosstalk m...

Stereoscopic visualization systems based on liquid crystal shutter (LCS) eyewear and cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays provide today the best overall quality of three-dimensional (3-D) images and therefore have a dominant position in commercial as well as professional markets. Due to the CRT and LCS characteristics, however, such systems suffer from perceptual crosstalk ("shadows") at object boun...
