Due to technological advances, it has become possible to implement floating-point cores on FPGAs in an effort to provide hardware acceleration for the myriad applications that require high performance floating-point arithmetic. However, in order to achieve a high clock rate, these floating-point cores must be deeply pipelined. Due to this deep pipelining and the complexity of floating-point ari...

We consider the effective motion along a cylinder of a particle that freely diffuses in the bulk and intermittently binds to the cylinder. From an exact approach we derive the different regimes of the effective motion along the cylinder characterized by physical rates for binding/unbinding and the bulk diffusivity. We obtain a transient regime of superdiffusion and, interestingly, a saturation ...

6 In this paper, theoretical study is carried out to investigate the general 3D short-crested 7 wave interaction with a concentric two-cylinder system. The interior cylinder is imperme8 able and the exterior cylinder is thin in thickness and porous to protect the interior cylinder. 9 Both cylinders are surface-piercing and bottom mounted. Analytical solution is derived 10 based on the linear po...

In this paper, we propose an architecture/methodology for making FPGAs suitable for integer as well as variable precision floating point multiplication. The proposed work will of great importance in applications which requires variable precision floating point multiplication such as multi-media processing applications. In the proposed architecture/methodology, we propose the replacement of exis...

Cell fate decisions in early embryonic cells are controlled by interactions among developmental regulatory genes. Zebrafish floating head mutants lack a notochord; instead, muscle forms under the neural tube. As shown previously, axial mesoderm in floating head mutant gastrulae fails to maintain expression of notochord genes and instead expresses muscle genes. Zebrafish spadetail mutant gastrul...

A new generation method to implement CMOS floating resistors is presented. The generation method depends on the linearization of the differential current of two matched NMOS transistors in two alternative configurations. The CMOS floating resistors implemented are based on using MOS transistors operating in the saturation region with their sources connected to their substrates. New CMOS floatin...

We study the optimal packing of hard spheres in an infinitely long cylinder, using simulated annealing, and compare our results with the analogous problem of packing disks on the unrolled surface of a cylinder. The densest structures are described and tabulated in detail up to D/d=2.873 (ratio of cylinder and sphere diameters). This extends previous computations into the range of structures whi...

Under conditions of lean fueling or high exhaust gas recirculation, interactions between residual cylinder gas and freshly injected fuel and air produce undesirable combustion instabilities in spark-ignition engines. The resulting dynamics can be described as noisy bifurcations of a nonlinear map and are complicated by cylinder-to-cylinder coupling. We discuss the key dynamic features relevant ...

The present paper describes dynamic modelling, results of simulation and experimental investigation of a hydraulic stepper cylinder, which find application in manipulators and robots. The method of bond graph is used for modelling of the dynamics of the considered cylinder design. First, an initial digital simulation is performed in order to calculate basic dynamic characteristics of the cylind...

New Voltage Differencing Differential Input Buffered Amplifier (VD-DIBA) based lossless grounded and floating inductance simulation circuits have been proposed. The proposed grounded simulated inductance circuit employs a single VD-DIBA, one floating resistance and one grounded capacitor. The floating simulated inductance (FI) circuits employ two VD-DIBAs with two passive components (one floati...
