This paper reports the results of the parallelization of the 3D liquid crystal display (LCD) device simula-tor, which was run on the Cenju-3 parallel computer. The purpose of the simulator is to aid LCD designers in improving an d optimizing design parameters such as the structure of the electrodes and the material of liquid crystal. The speedup brought about by parallelization is of great impo...

In this paper, we will discuss the modeling and simulation result of GaN MESFET device with our conventional computer added device simulator MEDICI. We will find out material parameter of GaN so that the device characteristics of simulation fit to experimentally built-on device characteristics. Then we will vary some important device parameters such as gate length, channel doping rate, and acti...

Objectives: Intussusception, an uncommon but important cause of acute abdomen during infancy and early childhood, can be safely and effectively treated by fluoroscopic air reduction. Although pediatric radiology fellows report ample opportunity to practice intussusception reduction, radiology residents report few opportunities to participate in this procedure. Adequate training to reduce intuss...

SiSMA (Simulator for Statistical Mismatch Analysis) is a CAD tool for the statistical analysis of analog CMOS integrated circuits affected by technological tolerance effects including device mismatch.

BACKGROUND The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in healthcare is increasing, and concerns for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) pose one of the biggest obstacles for widespread adoption. Numerous studies have demonstrated that RFID systems can interfere with medical devices; however, the majority of past studies relied on time-consuming and burdensome test schemes based on...

In this work a surgical simulator is produced which enables a training otologist to conduct a virtual, real-time prosthetic insertion. The simulator provides the Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon with real-time visual and haptic responses during virtual cochlear implantation into a 3D model of the human Scala Tympani (ST). The parametric model is derived from measured data as published in the litera...

An enhanced real-time virtual graphical and haptic environment used in a medical training simulator is presented in this paper. The medical simulator is a training simulator for urological minimally invasive operations, and consists of a five-dof haptic device, the virtual graphical and force environment, and the control system. All parts of the simulator are described in detail. A real-time gr...
