We report the first nanofluidic inductor (L) to complement the known nanofluidic capacitors (C), resistors (R), and diodes for ion currents. Under negative bias, the nanopore behaves like a parallel RC circuit at low frequencies; however, under positive bias, the asymptotic dynamics is that of a serial RL circuit. This new ionic circuit element can lead to nanofluidic RLC or diode-inductor osci...

In this paper we identify graph-theoretic conditions which allow us to write a nonlinear RLC circuit as port-Hamiltonian with constant input matrices. We show that under additional monotonicity conditions on the network’s components, the circuit enjoys the property of relative passivity, an extended notion of classical passivity. The property of relative passivity is then used to build simple, ...

Today’s high-speed very large scale integration interconnects are becoming inductively dominated (moderate Q) resistance–inductance–capacitance (RLC) transmission lines. The time-domain system responses of RLC interconnect lines driving load capacitances cannot be accurately represented by using a finite number of poles with exception for a particular case of RC-time-constant-dominant (low Q) R...

The paper presents the required parameters in the evaluation of the technical state for the High Voltage (HV) circuit breakers. It details some aspects regarding the influence of the kinematics characteristics to the circuit breakers performances. Also, it presents a possibility to use the artificial neural networks (ANN) in the analysis of the circuit breakers kinematics characteristics, in or...

We propose an RLC model for PEDOT:PSS electrochemical transistors to interpret the persistent oscillating currents observed in experiments. The electrochemical reaction is represented by an inductor in the equivalent circuit. The simulation results show that an electrochemical device can be operated as normal transistors or oscillators under different voltage bias. This model predicts that anal...

In this note we identify graph-theoretic conditions which allow to write an RLC circuit as port-Hamiltonian with constant input matrices. We show that under additional monotonicity conditions of the network’s components, the circuit enjoys the property of relative passivity, an extended notion of classical passivity. The property of relative passivity is then used to build simple, yet robust an...

A fundamental issue in GSM/GPRS networks planning is the choice of an appropriate resource allocation strategy at MAC layer to allow data and voice users to share the common transport media. Our goal is to quantitatively evaluate the convenience, in terms of efficient radio resources utilization, of reserving a few timeslots in each TDMA frame to GPRS traffic rather than adopting a “complete-sh...

A miniaturized self-matched negative group delay (NGD) microwave circuit without the need for external matching networks is proposed. The NGD circuit is based on a modified parallel-type RLC resonator, in which lumped elements (capacitors and inductors) are implemented by microstrip gaps and high-impedance and short-circuited microstrip lines. To verify the design concept, an NGD circuit with t...
