Xilinx® devices are designed to have an inherently low susceptibility to single event upsets (SEUs). This application note provides a substantial discussion of strategies and representative calculations for handling SEUs with an emphasis on reliability when addressing these low probability events. This application note introduces an SEU controller macro that can be included in any Virtex®-5 FPG...

Here, we developed a procedure for mitigating thermal hazards in packaged FinFET devices. A monitoring system was installed into devices, based on self-heating impact analysis the and device levels, to allow observation alerting of chip temperature reliability risks. novel algorithm reducing measurement noise by means fluctuation compensation filtering invalid data is presented demonstrated The...

The continued integration of technology into all aspects of society stresses the need to identify and understand the risk associated with assimilating new technologies. This necessity is heightened when technology is used for medical purposes like ambulatory devices that monitor a patient’s vital signs. This integration creates environments that are conducive to malicious activities. The potent...

The power quality issues are of great concern now a days. The increasing use of power electronic devices based nonlinear loads deteriorate the quality of power. Power electronic appliances are widely used in industrial, commercial and utility system thus leading to various power quality problems. This leads to harmonics being injected into the distribution system and also reactive power burden....

OBJECTIVE Pressure mitigation is crucial for the healing of plantar diabetic foot ulcers. We therefore discuss characteristics and considerations associated with the use of offloading devices. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A diabetic foot ulcer management survey was sent to foot clinics in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2005. A total of 901 geographically diverse centers responde...
