In this paper we propose different approaches to control a real-time physical model of a bowed string instrument. Starting from a commercially available device, we show how to improve the gestural control of the model.

This paper discusses the development of a chip model library f o r the complete design and simulat ion of Multichip Assemblies. The simulation of the driver/receiver part of the chips mounted i n Multichap Modules(MC1Ms) can be done using a variety of models at varying levels of complexity. A hierarchy i s used t o organize the models for use with an intelligent model selection tool. Model sele...

Device modeling of novel semiconductor devices requires adapted physical models which include quantum mechanical effects. The quantum hydrodynamic as well as the quantum drift diffusion model offers effective possibilities for the simulation of nanoscale devices, particularly if tunneling processes appear. The models can be implemented effectively in conventional device simulation systems.

For the past 20 years, the magnitude of the "placebo effect" in double-blind, medical experiments has strongly increased. This paper asks why and how. Starting with the human "psychophysiologic principle," two unconscious and one conscious biofeedback examples are given to demonstrate how malleable we humans are to our expectations and our intentions and how strong our psychoenergetic forces ca...

Deep-scaled CMOS technologies have provided ultra-high speed devices and enabled the possibility to achieve integrated millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave systemon-a-chip (SoC). However, the drawbacks and constraints of deep-scaled technologies require not only creative circuit design ideas but also accurate active device models and optimum physical design. The paper presents a systematic d...

In the last decade two dimensional device simulation based on the Drift-Diffusion (DD) model has been widely used and is still of remarkable importance for industrial purposes. When device size shrinks below one micron the electric field often becomes very high and undergoes rapid changes over a small distance. In this situation the DD model begins to fail, while the Monte-Carlo (MC) method bei...
