Modern electronic design automation flows depend on both implementation and signoff tools to perform timing-constrained power optimization through Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), which involve gate sizing threshold-voltage ( V th )-assignment of standard cells. However, the ECO is highly time-consuming, improvement hard predict in advance. Ever since industrial benchmarks released by ISPD-201...

application of quantum-dot is a promising technology for implementing digital systems at nano-scale.  quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) is a system with low power consumption and a potentially high density and regularity. also, qca supports the new devices with nanotechnology architecture. this technique works based on electron interactions inside quantum-dots leading to emergence of quantum ...

In an impact analysis using random assignment, researchers often deal with missing values in both the covariates and the outcome variables of regression models. Clearly rigorous methods are needed to impute missing values in the outcome variables to minimize the potential bias in impact assessments. When imputation is applied to covariates of the regression analyses, the effect of imputation is...

intentional assignment of entitlements (as opposed to debts) is a legal institution which is based on the possibility of separation of entitlements from the personality of creditor and of its assignment to a third party. in the voluntary assignment of entitlements, the creditors may assign their rights to a third party. after long discussions, voluntary assignment of rights has been accepted in...

In this paper, novel hybrid MOSFET(HMOS) structure has been proposed to reduce the gate leakage current drastically. This novel hybrid MOSFET (HMOS) uses source/drain-to-gate non-overlap region in combination with high-K layer/interfacial oxide as gate stack. The extended S/D in the non-overlap region is induced by fringing gate electric field through the high-k dielectric spacer. The gate leak...

In advance longwall mining, the safety of mine network, production rate, and consequently, economic conditions of a mine are dependent on the stability conditions of gate roadways. The gate roadway stability is a function of two important factors: 1) characteristics of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) above the gate roadway and 2) loading effect due to the caving zone (CZ) above the longwall w...

In this paper, we propose a new heterostructure dual material gate junctionless field-effect transistor (H-DMG-JLFET), with negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic. The drain and channel material are silicon and source material is germanium. The gate electrode near the source is larger. A dual gate material technique is used to achieve upward band bending in order to access n-i-p-...

Widespread adoption of reconfigurable devices requires system level synthesis techniques to take an application written in a high level language and map it to the reconfigurable device. This paper describes methods for synthesizing the internal representation of a compiler into a hardware description language in order to program reconfigurable hardware devices. We demonstrate the usefulness of ...

A new kind of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed that is suitable for an implementation in hardware. The new algorithm — called Counter-based ACO — allows to systolically pipe artificial ants through a grid of processing cells. Various features of this algorithm have been designed so that it can be mapped easily to Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Examples are a new enco...
