The objective of this paper is to control the phase shifting by applying a bias DC voltage and changing the mechanical characteristics in electrostatically-actuated micro-beams. This problem can be more useful in the design of micro-phase shifters, which has not generally been investigated their mechanical behavior. By presenting a mathematical modeling, Galerkin-based step by step linearizatio...

BiCMOS technology [1] offers both the high driving capability of bipolar devices and the high input impedance of CMOS devices. The potential of BiCMOS technology has been demonstrated in a variety of applications such as gate arrays [2], static RAMs [3], dynamic RAMs [4] and microprocessors [5]. One of drawbacks of the conventional BiCMOS process is that the integration density is rather low si...

Culture of entrepreneurs is also a sort of capital, which has a direct effect on development of enterprises in the process of economic operation of enterprises. Construction of cultural capital among entrepreneurs helps to enhance the overall competitive strength of Chinese enterprises in international society and helps to push forward development of the economic society. Due to historical reas...

--In this paper, we proposed a new dual threshold circuit technique for reduction of subthreshold and static power dissipation. When the scaling down technology the threshold voltage takes place, due to increasing the leakage current. In this method, n-type and ptype transistor are introduced between the pull up and pull down network, the gateof inserting transistors is connected to the respect...

Modern Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) systems are susceptible to reliability and variability issues. Examples of reliability and variability issues are Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) in the transistors and resistive/open interconnect defects, respectively. This paper analyzes the impacts of BTI and resistive defects independently as well as simultaneously on the SRAM decoder. First, the...

This paper describes an electrostatic excited microcantilever sensor operating in static mode that is more sensitive than traditional microcantilevers. The proposed sensor comprises a simple microcantilever with electrostatic excitation ability and an optical or piezoresistive detector. Initially the microcantilever is excited by electrostatic force to near pull-in voltage. The nonlinear behavi...

The large number of mechanical degrees of freedom of the hand is not fully exploited during actual movements such as grasping. Usually, angular movements in various joints tend to be coupled, and EMG activities in different hand muscles tend to be correlated. The occurrence of covariation in the former was termed kinematic synergies, in the latter muscle synergies. This study addresses two ques...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the observed phenotypic stability in static strength during adolescence, as measured by interage correlations in arm pull, is mainly caused by genetic and/or environmental factors. Subjects were from the Leuven Longitudinal Twin Study (n = 105 pairs, equally divided over 5 zygosity groups). Arm-pull data were aligned on age at peak height veloc...

The widely used pull-based method for high-frequency sensor data acquisition from Sensor Observation Services (SOS) is not efficient in real-time applications; therefore, further attention must be paid to real-time mechanisms in the provision process if sensor webs are to achieve their full potential. To address this problem, we created a data provision problem model, and compare the recursive ...
