This work proposes a novel linearized low noise amplifier (LNA) for X-band applications with flat power gain, performance and enhanced linearity. In this study, triple-cascode topology dual-resonant network is utilized modified post-distortion introduced to improve the The LNA utilizes subthreshold auxiliary NMOS transistor reduce nonlinearity consumption. addition, methodology proposed predict...

In this paper, we introduce a new volume ray casting algorithm optimized for the Cell B.E. architecture. The importance of volume rendering has been increased as the amount of volumetric data keeps increasing due to the widespread of 3-D imaging devices such as a 3-D laser scanner, CT, MRI, and 3-D confocal microscopy as well as 3-D simulation in many disciplines of science and engineering. Amo...

Mathematical models have been developed and applied to investigate the composition distributions that arise during steel grade changes in the continuous slab casting processes. Three-dimensional turbulent flow and transient mixing phenomena in the mold and the strand were calculated under conditions corresponding to a sudden change in grade. The composition distribution in the final slab was th...

Synthetic biology uses living cells as molecular foundries for the biosynthesis of drugs, therapeutic proteins, and other commodities. However, the need for specialized equipment and refrigeration for production and distribution poses a challenge for the delivery of these technologies to the field and to low-resource areas. Here, we present a portable platform that provides the means for on-sit...

The general trend in semiconductor industry to separate design from fabrication leads to potential threats from untrusted integrated circuit foundries. In particular, malicious hardware components can be covertly inserted at the foundry to implement hidden backdoors for unauthorized exposure of secret information. This paper proposes a new class of hardware Trojans which intentionally induce ph...

Several applications for solid-state, random access beam directors have emerged in recent years, including scanners, laser radar components, interconnects, elements for addressing holographic storage, beam routing devices, and adaptive switching networks. We discuss implementation of optical phased arrays using a liquid crystal on silicon approach. By using very large scale integration (VLSI) t...

Performance of a direct-reading handy equipment for dust counting in workroom air, PDR (MIE, USA), was field-tested in comparison with the results of low-volume air sampling-gravimetry. Application in 64 workplaces of various type dust work with dust concentrations of up to 1.6 mg/m3 showed that the agreement was generally good with a correlation coefficient (r) >0.64. The calculated regression...

The research results of the noise effect on workers in foundry are presented. main sources shown. An assessment factor various professions was made. Recommendations and measuring design new reconstruction existing foundries given.
