The implementation of a low power logic based asynchronous circuit with the help of power gated logic. In asynchronous power gated logic (APL) circuit, each pipeline stage was incorporated with efficient charge recovery logic (ECRL) gate; handshake controller and partial charge reuse (PCR) mechanism. The main objective was, to provide a new lower power solutions using power gating (PG) for very...

Building an interactive virtual environment may involve diverse modules for performing various tasks like handling a group of interaction devices, multimodal/multi-cluster rendering displays as well multipurpose simulations. This requires a fine-grain sharing of inter-module states. Previously, this fine-grain control can only be achieved through hardware subsystems within a single computer. Wi...

A microstructure consisting of ultrafine grained (UFG) ferrite with average grain size of ~ 0.7 µm and dispersed nano-sized carbides was produced by cold-rolling and tempering of the martensite starting microstructure in a low carbon steel. Subsequently, fine grained dual phase (DP) steel consisting of equiaxed ferrite grains with average size of ~ 5 µm and martensite islands with average size ...

This paper studies cluster load balancing policies and system support for fine-grain network services. Load balancing on a cluster of machines has been studied extensively in the literature, mainly focusing on coarse-grain distributed computation. Fine-grain services introduce additional challenges because system states fluctuate rapidly for those services and system performance is highly sensi...

in order to study the fluidization behavior of grains, a laboratory fluidized bed dryer (fbd) was designed and developed. forward blade centrifugal fan with 1.5 kw electric motor, was selected to be used based on the highest pressure loss calculated at minimum fluidization condition and airflow rate at terminal velocity of the selected grains (paddy, soybean, millet and barley). the dryer was c...

This paper presents a new processing cell circuit, suitable for use in massively parallel fine-grain processor arrays, oriented towards image processing applications. The design, based on dynamic logic, is efficient for both local and global operations. In this paper we discuss design trade-offs and provide detailed description of the architecture. A cellular processor array based on the presen...

Context-sensitive global analysis of large code bases can be expensive, which can be specially problematic in interactive uses of analyzers. However, in practice each development iteration implies small modifications which are often isolated within a few modules, and analysis cost can be reduced by reusing the results of previous analyses. This has been achieved to date on the one hand through ...

The grain size composition of topsoil characterizes the soil texture and other physical properties. The coarsening of topsoil grain size is a visible symbol of land degradation; thereby the change in topsoil grain size can be potentially used to monitor desertification using remote sensing. This study proposes a new index for detecting topsoil grain size composition through ground in situ soil ...

Skew is one of the most important parameter that decides the performance of the system. Though skews are reduced using two-stage(low and high voltage levels) serially connected power mode aware buffers(PMABs) using two power gating techniques-Fine grain technique at high voltage level and Coarse grain technique at low voltage level, the power consumption and area is large incase of fine grain t...
