Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) represents one of the most significant technical advances in radiation therapy. In the dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC) method of IMRT delivery, because of the relatively small gaps between opposed leaves and because most regions are shielded by leaves most of the time, the delivered dose is very sensitive to MLC leaf positional accuracy. A variati...

Kalman filtering has been widely considered for dynamic state estimation in smart grids. Despite its unique merits, the Kalman Filter (KF)-based dynamic state estimation can be undesirably influenced by cyber adversarial attacks that can potentially be launched against the communication links in the Cyber-Physical System (CPS). To enhance the security of KF-based state estimation, in this paper...

The detection of open defects in CMOS SRAM has been a time consuming process. This paper proposes a new dynamic power supply current testing method to detect open defects in CMOS SRAM cells. By monitoring a dynamic current pulse during a transition write operation or a read operation, open defects can be detected. In order to measure the dynamic power supply current pulse, a current monitoring ...

Abstract Purpose Inertial amplification of an oscillating mass has been considered by various researchers as a means to introduce enhanced vibration control properties dynamic system. In this paper experimental prototype novel inertial amplifier, namely the Dynamic Directional Amplification mechanism (DDA), is developed and its response subsequently evaluated. The DDA realized imposing kinemati...

This paper describes an efficient way to test the VAP-free (Vertex Accumulation Point free) planarity of oneand two-dimensional dynamic graphs. Dynamic graphs are infinite graphs consisting of an infinite number of basic cells connected regularly according to labels in a finite graph called a sraric graph. Dynamic graphs arize in the design of highly regular VLSI circuits, such as systolic arra...
