Single-supply operation has become an increasingly important requirement because of market demands. Automotive, set-top box, camera/camcorder, PC, and laptop computer applications are demanding IC vendors to supply an array of linear devices that operate on a single-supply rail, with the same performance of dual supply parts. Power consumption is now a key parameter for line or battery operated...

Neurochemicals such as serotonin convey information about behavioral context to sensory processing. In the auditory system, serotonin modulates the responses of neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) to acoustic stimuli, including communication vocalizations. Levels of extracellular serotonin in the IC can change rapidly in response to stressful situations such as social challenge and limited ...

JASON was asked to recommend ways in which the DOD/IC can handle present and future sensor data in fundamentally different ways, taking into account both the state-of-the-art, the potential for advances in areas such as data structures, the shaping of sensor data for exploitation, as well as methodologies for data discovery. This report examines the challenges associated with the analysis of la...

We have developed a methodology for unique identification of integrated circuits (ICs) that addresses untrusted fabrication and other security problems. The new method leverages nondestructive gate-level characterization of ICs post-manufacturing, revealing the hidden and unclonable uniqueness of each IC. The IC characterization uses the externally measured leakage currents for multiple input v...

In this paper, an adaptive version of the impedance-conditioned phase-locked loop (IC-PLL), namely IC-PLL (AIC-PLL), is proposed. The has recently been proposed to address issue synchronisation with a weak AC grid by supplementing conventional synchronous reference frame (SRF-PLL) additional virtual impedance term. resulting aims synchronise converter remote and stronger point in grid, hence in...

Creation and management of information (Knowledge Management, KM) is the key to Wealth Maximization for any business. Here, the real challenge is to understand how to accelerate the transformation of knowledge into money through identification of measurement of knowledge as assets. This study has identified a positive relation in the growth of Intellectual Capital (IC) with the improvements and...

There are a number of recommendation systems that can suggest the webpages, within a single website, that other (purportedly similar) users have visited. By contrast, our goal is a system that can recommend “information content” (IC) pages — i.e., pages that contain information relevant to the user — from anywhere in the web. This paper describes how we addressed this challenge, We first collec...

The purpose of this study was to assess whether during standard methacholine (Mch) challenge (concentration up to 128 mg x mL(-1)) healthy supine subjects a) develop tidal expiratory flow limitation (FL) and hyperinflation, and b) whether the onset of tidal FL is associated with dyspnoea. Eight healthy subjects were studied. Dyspnoea was assessed using the Borg scale, FL by the negative expirat...
