-This paper examines the impact of the network modification produced by the replacement of an existing conventional generator with a high voltage directly connected generator on the adequacy of existing circuit breakers distributed throughout a high voltage transmission network. The significance of generator design changes is assessed by comparing the critical fault types producing maximal circ...

A biofilm is an organized, resilient group of microbes in which individual cells acquire properties, such as drug resistance, that are distinct from those observed in suspension cultures. Here, we describe and analyze the transcriptional network controlling biofilm formation in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, whose biofilms are a major source of medical device-associated infections. We h...

We propose a bio-inspired circuit performing pulse-density modulation with single-electron devices. The proposed circuit consists of three single-electron neuronal units, receiving the same input and are connected to a common output. The output is inhibitorily fedback to the three neuronal circuits through a capacitive coupling. The circuit performance was evaluated through Monte-Carlo based co...

It is considered the static and dynamic analysis of an analog electrical circuit having the structure of the Hopfield neural network, the KWTA (KWinners-Take-All) network. The mathematics of circuit design and operation is discussed via two basic tools: the Liapunov function ensuring the gradient like behavior and the rational choice of the weights that stands for network training to ensure ord...

The Networks on Chip (NoC), due to their flexibility, scalability and high bandwidth features they are considered as on-chip communication fabrics for future multiprocessor systemon-chips(MPSOCs).In this paper the design of a network on chip to support a guaranteed throughput is explained. The close nework topology is used with the three stages of switches and each stage having three switches o...

The paper presents a new approach to functional, bit-level verification of arithmetic circuits. The circuit is modeled as a network of adders and basic Boolean gates, and the computation performed by the circuit is viewed as a flow of binary data through such a network. The verification problem is cast as a Network Flow problem and solved using symbolic term rewriting and simple algebraic techn...

Abstract. We investigated the implications of static noises in a pulsedensity modulator based on Vestibulo-ocular Reflex model. We constructed a simple neuromorphic circuit consisting of an ensemble of single-electron devices and confirmed that static noises (heterogeneity in circuit parameters) introduced into the network indeed played an important role in improving the fidelity with which neu...

The RACE R parallel computer system provides a high-performance parallel interconnection network at low cost. This paper describes the architecture and implementation of the RACE system, a parallel computer for embedded applications. The topology of the network, which is constructed with 6-port switches, can be specified by the customer, and is typically a fat-tree, a Clos network, or a mesh. T...
