Testing two-port memories requires the use of single-port tests as well as special two-port tests; the test strategy determines which tests have to be used. Many two-port memories have ports which are read-only or write-only; this impacts the possible tests for single-port and two-port memories, as well as the test strategy. This paper discusses the consequences of the port restrictions (read-o...

This paper presents a new mixed-mode (including voltage, current, transadmittance, and transimpedance modes) biquad filter using only two differential voltage current conveyors (DVCCs), two grounded capacitors and three grounded resistors, which are the least number of active components and the minimum number of grounded passive components necessary for realizing current-mode (with high output ...

Abstract. This paper derives three-dimensional passive bearings-only localization algorithms and examines their performance in the presence of large measurement noise by way of simulations. Among the algorithms studied, an iterative Gauss-Newton (GN) implementation of the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator is shown to have the best localization performance. In order to reduce the computational c...

We demonstrate three amplitude cloaks that can hide very large spatial objects over the entire visible spectrum using only passive, off-the-shelf optics. The cloaked region for all of the devices exceeds 10⁶ mm³, with the largest exceeding 10⁸ mm³. Although unidirectional, these cloaks can hide the cloaked object, even if the object is transversely illuminated or self-illuminated. Due to the sm...

In the present paper, very simple voltage-mode instrumentation amplifier (IA) and integrator structures including only grounded passive components yielding easy integration are proposed. The proposed IA and integrator use single differential difference current conveyor. The proposed IA without requiring critical passive component matching conditions can be constructed with only two small-valued...

Two generic classes of chaotic oscillators comprising four different configurations are constructed. The proposed structures are based on the simplest possible abstract models of generic second-order RC sinusoidal oscillators that satisfy the basic condition for oscillation and the frequency of oscillation formulas. By linking these sinusoidal oscillator engines to simple passive first-order or...

Diabetes mellitus is accompanied with disturbances in learning, memory, and cognitive skills in the human society and experimental animals. Therefore, this research study was conducted to evaluate time-dependent changes in passive avoidance and Y-maze performance in male diabetic rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control and diabetic groups. For induction of di...
