In an organization, a well devised disaster recovery plan is not only crucial in the information recovery process, but also vital in the quest to sustain daily operations. While prior research has discussed many recovery sites options, assessment of recovery site communication paths and their associated complexity is still limited in regard to the evaluation of disaster recovery (DR) models. Us...

Based on a detailed analysis of recent loss-of-control events, the Aircraft State Awareness Joint Safety Analysis Team has identified the need to develop algorithms and display strategies to provide control guidance for recovery from approach-to-stall or stall. In order to be effective, such guidance should enhance the pilot’s ability to execute the Federal Aviation Administration’s recommended...

Disasters have the potential to cripple a country and those countries that are particularly susceptible to disasters must have effective disaster recovery plans (DRP) in place to ensure that the country can return to normalcy as soon as possible after the devastation. However, for the plan to be effective it must be of high quality, which is often viewed as a multidimensional concept containing...

Clock and data recovery (CDR) circuits are key electronic components in future optical broadband communication systems. In this paper, we present a 40-Gb/s integrated CDR circuit applying a phase-locked loop technique. The IC has been fabricated in a 50-GHz f T self-aligned double-polysilicon bipolar technology using only production-like process steps. The achieved data rate is a record value f...

We present a new approach to minimizing of energy consumption by addressing battery management techniques that exploit the charge recovery effect inherent to many secondary storage batteries. We review results that pertain to the capacity of a battery and its dependence on the intensity of the discharge current. The phenomena of charge recovery that takes place under bursty or pulsed discharge ...

The jobless recoveries in the aftermath of the 1991 and 2001 recessions have puzzled many. Most explanations have focused on structural change. In this paper, I investigate the quantitative contribution of a cyclical mechanism towards generating jobless recoveries. Extending the model by Hansen and Sargent (1988), I calibrate and compute a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of heterog...

Disasters have the potential to cripple a country and those countries that are particularly susceptible to disasters must have adequate disaster recovery plans in place to ensure that the country can return to normalcy as soon as possible after the disaster. These plans will involve a number of autonomous entities that need to be able to communicate and coordinate their activities effectively. ...

Bang-Bang clock and data recovery (BBCDR) circuits are hard nonlinear systems due to the nonlinearity introduced by the binary phase detector (BPD). The specification of the CDR frequency response is determined by jitter tolerance and jitter transfer. In this paper, jitter transfer and jitter tolerance of the second-order BBCDR are characterized by formulating the time domain waveforms. As a re...
