In transmission, storaging and coding of digital signals we frequently perform A/D conversion using quantization. In this paper we study the maxiaml and mean square errors as a result of quantization. We focus on the sigma-delta modulation quantization scheme in the finite frame expansion setting. We show that this problem is related to the classical Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) in the Eucl...

After culture in IL-2, thymocytes expressing either TCR-alpha/beta or -gamma/delta acquired the ability to lyse hematopoietic and solid tumor cell targets without deliberate immunization or apparent restriction by the MHC. Moreover, TCR-alpha/beta- and TCR-gamma/delta-bearing thymic cell lines demonstrated an essentially identical spectrum of cytolysis against several tumor cell targets. Cytoto...

This paper presents the design and simulations results of a switched-capacitor discrete time Second order Sigma-Delta modulator used for a resolution of 14 bits Sigma-Delta analog to digital converter. The use of operational amplifier is necessary for low power consumption, it is designed to provide large bandwidth and moderate DC gain. With 0.35μm CMOS technology, the ΣΔ modulator achieves 86 ...

Current evidence suggests that delta oscillations (0.5-4 Hz) in the brain are generated by intrinsic network mechanisms involving cortical and thalamic circuits. Here we report that delta band oscillation in spike and local field potential (LFP) activity in the whisker barrel cortex of awake mice is phase locked to respiration. Furthermore, LFP oscillations in the gamma frequency band (30-80 Hz...

A Sigma-delta modulator is designed in 180nm CMOS process for digital Audio applications. This design is simulated on S-Edit of Tanner EDA tool. In this design continuous time sigma-delta modulator is implemented to reduce the noise problem. This sigma-delta modulator also helps to reduce power consumption of circuit. In these design two stage op-amps is used to implement modulator. Also this d...

This paper describes a spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) circuit for DisplayPort 1.2 standard. A Hershey-Kiss modulation profile is generated by dual sigma-delta modulators. The structure generates various modulation slopes to shape a non-linear modulation profile. The proposed SSCG for DisplayPort 1.2 generates clock signals with 5000 ppm down spreading with a Hershey-Kiss modulation prof...

Substantial evidence has been accumulated which suggests that opioid delta receptors may be distinguished on the basis of their involvement in the modulation (i.e., increase or decrease in potency) of mu-mediated antinociception. On this basis, it has been hypothesized that some opioid delta receptors exist within a functional complex with mu receptors (delta complexed (delta cx) receptors) whi...

This paper presents a quantitative model for describing data from modulation-detection and modulation-masking experiments, which extends the model of the "effective" signal processing of the auditory system described in Dau et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 3615-3622 (1996)]. The new element in the present model is a modulation filterbank, which exhibits two domains with different scaling. In the...
