According to the process scaling, radiation-hard devices are becoming sensitive to soft errors caused by Multiple Cell Upset (MCUs). In this paper, the parasitic bipolar effects are utilized to suppress MCUs of the radiation-hard dual-modular flip-flops. Device simulations reveal that a simultaneous flip of redundant latches is suppressed by storing opposite values instead of storing the same v...

Faulty device drivers are a significant cause of system failures. Low overhead mechanisms that leverage virtualization can detect and recover from device driver failures without requiring modifications to the device driver, applications, or OS running in the VMs. These mechanisms can var y significantly in terms of coverage, recovery latency, and implementation complexity. This paper explores t...

This paper deals with cost – effective optimum design of parallel redundant system. The components in the redundant system are assumed to be identical and failure time follows exponential distribution. This paper suggests optimal spares (S*) required for redundant configuration in parallel redundant system. The results are presented for common cause failures with fault coverage.

The musicbox is a tangible interface supporting remote awareness through the mediums of music and light. The musicbox is linked over the Internet to the music and light levels surrounding a remote piano. The system communicates live music and a sense of physical movement through a luminous physical interface, while also providing browsable access to music previously played by the device.

this paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. in this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. the suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

presently, emerging economies are acquiring singular positions all over the world. the complexities of nowadays economy have caused international companies and investors to be of a tendency towards emerging markets for more profitability and growth. this study aims to find the relationships between firm's profitability and growth in iranian manufacturing industry consisting of tehran stock...

Dexterous manipulation with a highly redundant movement system is one of the hallmarks of human motor skills. From numerous behavioral studies, there is strong evidence that humans employ compliant task space control, i.e. they focus control only on task variables while The International Journal of Robotics Research Vol. 27, No. 6, June 2008, pp. 737–757 DOI: 10.1177/0278364908091463 c SAGE Pub...
