to monitor the patient behavior, data are collected from patient’s body by a medical monitoring device so as to calculate the output using embedded software. incorrect calculations may endanger the patient’s life if the software fails to meet the patient’s requirements. accordingly, the veracity of the software behavior is a matter of concern in the medicine; moreover, the data collected from t...

By the past two decades IPMCs have been intensively studied because of their special capabilities for actuation and sensing.This paper presents a theoretical physics based model for analyzing the behavior of IPMC sensors in fluid environments. The mechanical vibration of the IPMC strip is described by the classical Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The model also takes in to account the physical pro...

Modern device modeling codes enable the designer to simulate the behavior of nearly arbitrary 3-dimensional semiconductor device structures with multiple electrodes. However, the output of such programs is not a lumped element model that can be used in the design of RF circuits. Rather, such programs produce a (hopefully) good simulation of an experimental situation, as described by the device ...

A novel technique for the numerical extraction of equivalent circuits from physics-based device simulation is presented. The method is based on the partitioning of the device into functional regions, each corresponding to a circuit block. All the circuit elements have a clear physical interpretation. Element values are directly obtained from small-signal dc device simulation. The method generat...

With the quick evolution of the Internet of Things, the research community’s interest is rising in device-to-device communication. In this research, we study the device-to-device communication capabilities of the Intel Edison devices over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and we compare the Edison devices’ performance to that of the Raspberry-Pi devices. Further, we explore potential uses of this communicati...

This paper presents the characterization of illuminated high-frequency active devices using a time domain physical simulation model. The model is based on Boltztnann’s Transport Equation (BTE), which accurately accounts for carrier transport in microwave and millimeter wave devices with sub-micrometer gate lengths. Illumination effects are accommodated in the model to represent camer density ch...

The drive performance of a new MOSFET structure, the peak device, resulting from recent doping profile optimizations of a 0.25 mm nMOSFET for 1.5 V supply voltage, is investigated. Explanations for the improved performance are given using two-dimensional device simulation. With an analytical transistor model fitted to the two-dimensional device characteristics, the relevant physical effects are...

The ability to choose an appropriate manner in which to model a given device is crucial in making a compositional modeling 3] approach successful. In compositional modeling, a system is provided with a library of composible pieces of knowledge about the physical world, called model fragments, each representing a conceptually distinct phenomenon such as a physical process or one aspect of a comp...
