Many embedded systems, such as systems in the process control and measurement domains, are designed to perform continuous processing of input values and to produce and maintain corresponding output values. At the same time these systems have to react on events that reconfigures the processing algorithms. This paper will present some of the results of a Danish research project entitled “Architec...

The application specific paper describes a design approach for digital opto sensors and data acquisition systems. It is based on the Universal Frequency-to-Digital Converter (UFDC-1) working well with any frequency output sensors, for example, lightand color-to-frequency converter from TAOS. Such design approach lets significantly simplify the design process, reduce time to market and productio...

In many spheres of human activities devices that work on increased frequency current are widely applied. 50 Hz current can be converted into increased frequency (100-400 Hz) current using synchronous reactive converters, which are based on exude and usage of higher harmonics. The goal of this paper is to determine which circumstances must be taken into account to ensure highest increased freque...

AbsfructA fully integrated bridge-output-to-frequency converter has been realized as signal-conditioning circuitry for a onechip smart thermal maskflow sensor. The frequency converter reads out four separate mistor bridges of the air-flow sensor in order to realize high sensitivity and direftional flow measurement over the fd angle range of 360". The converter selects the sensor bridges individ...

The on-load tap changing (OLTC) regulators have been widely used since the introduction of electrical energy. They ensure a good regulation of the output voltage in presence of large variations of the input voltage with typical response time from several mili-seconds to several seconds. Earlier mechanical type of on load tap changers were into practice. But they had considerable limitations and...

Abstract--This paper gives a complete analysis of the problem of aeroassisted return from a high Earth orbit to a low Earth orbit with plane change. A discussion of pure propulsive maneuver leads to the necessary change for improvement of the fuel consumption by inserting in the middle of the trajectory an atmospheric phase to obtain all or part of the required plane change. The variational pro...

At the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), November 2014, 170 member states endorsed the Rome Declaration on Nutrition and a Framework for Action. The Rome Declaration committed to ending malnutrition in all its forms while the Framework for Action offered 60 voluntary actions to help achieve this. These documents and ICN2 itself had the potential to be a major step forward for...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com transients recorded with the Ca2+ probe aequorin during isometric contraction of myocardium in patients with end-stage failure were markedly prolonged, with a peak and then a secondary peak in the [Ca2+]i transient trace, which was associated with a marked prolongation of the time course of the Ca2+ decline and of tension decline [2]. Because SERCA ...

IntroductIon After fevered media coverage of a possible link between football (soccer) heading and long-term damage to the brain, 2016 saw the Professional Footballers’ Association call for a review of the game to decide whether to follow the lead of the United States Soccer and ban heading for younger players. Given these concerns, and the fact the relevant Rules of Football were conceived ove...

The development of novel targeted therapies with acceptable safety profiles is critical to successful cancer outcomes with better survival rates. Immunotherapy offers promising opportunities with the potential to induce sustained remissions in patients with refractory disease. Recent dramatic clinical responses in trials with gene modified T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) in...
