nowadays, high-voltage circuit breakers have reached such high short-circuit capabilities that testing them under the full rated voltage is generally not possible with direct tests, and they are conducted by using the synthetic test methods. although the phenomena associated with making tests is of particular importance especially in case of load break switches, but making tests are rather disr...

We have shown recently that a belief network can be represented as a polynomial and that many probabilistic queries can be recovered in constant time from the partial derivatives of such a polynomial. Although this polynomial is exponential in size, we have shown that it can be “computed” using an arithmetic circuit whose size is not necessarily exponential. Hence, the key computational questio...

The aim of this paper is to provide new insights about the circuitry and the role of the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) in processing somatosensory information. The presence of glycinergic cells, a second type of DCN interneurons in addition to well-known GABAergic interneurons, opens the door to more complex interactions between cuneate cells as well as to a new hypothesis about the computational ...

Today, layout verification for VLSI is a crucial part of IC design. However, for applicability, this must be both fast and accurate. Layout-to-circuit extractors can meet both these constraints. They quickly convert a layout into an equivalent network that accurately models that layout. Subsequently, circuit simulation and network comparison are convenient tools that enable accurate prediction ...

Executive Summary Circuit emulation over IP networks is becoming increasingly important for service providers who want to offer new service opportunities to subscribers and cut operational costs on their existing offerings. However, there are both technical and administrative challenges to overcome before service providers can embrace circuit emulation. The primary technical challenges are cloc...
