torque, speed, and power as mechanical variables are associated with the functional performance of any rotating machinery. the real-time performance and the efficiency of a machine can be determined with on-line measurement of these parameters. in this investigation a rotary torque meter (transducer) was constructed from strain gauge sensors for measuring the torque of rotating shafts. the syst...

metal oxide surge arrester accurate modeling and its parameter identification are very important for insulation coordination studies, arrester allocation and system reliability. since quality and reliability of lightning performance studies can be improved with the more efficient representation of the arresters´ dynamic behavior. in this paper, big bang – big crunch and hybrid big bang – big cr...

Dynamic mechanical allodynia is a widespread and intractable symptom of neuropathic pain for which there is a lack of effective therapy. We recently provided a novel perspective on the mechanisms of this symptom by showing that a simple switch in trigeminal glycine synaptic inhibition can turn touch into pain by unmasking innocuous input to superficial dorsal horn nociceptive specific neurons t...

In this paper, a new high-speed circuit technique called differential cascode voltage switch with pass-gate (DCVSPG) logic tree is presented. The circuit technique is designed using a pass-gate logic tree in DCVSPG instead of the nMOS logic tree in the conventional DCVS circuit, which eliminates the floating node problem. By eliminating the floating node problem, the DCVSPG becomes a new type o...

A time-domain, non-Monte Carlo method for computer simulation of electn'cal noise in nonlinear dynamic circuits with arbitrary excitations and arbitrary large-signal waveforms is presented. This time-domain noise simulation method is based on results from the theory of stochastic differential equations. The noise simulation method is general in the following sense. Any nonlinear dynamic circuit...

Design of a 3.3V comaptible 2.5V TTL-toCMOS bidirectional I/O buffer is proposed. Gate oxide protectiom was implemented without active voltage degradation, which reduces static and dynamic current levels and improves noise immunity for the low voltage circuit of this kind. Fast removal of stored charge further improve gate oxide protection and circuit recovery from overvoltage condition. Circui...

We report experimental results obtained with a circuit possessing dynamic logic architecture based on one of the theoretical schemes proposed by H. Peng and collaborators in 2008. The schematic diagram of the electronic circuit and its implementation to get different basic logic gates are displayed and discussed. In particular, we show explicitly how to get the electronic NOR, NAND, and XOR gat...

A new CMOS current-mode controllable low-voltage and low-power logarithmic function circuit is proposed.

The design and simulation of Winner-Take –All Current Mode (WTA) circuit is proposed. The proposed novel current mode CMOS WTA operates at 0.7v, which makes the circuit appropriated for low voltage hardware computation. The circuit was designed and simulated using Cadence gpdk090, with resolution of 0.001fA and an input dynamic range 50nA-10fA and power dissipation during competition is of arou...
