Wenyao XU Fengbo REN Background on process variation and Leakage With technology scaling, the MOS device channel length is reduced. As the channel length approaches the source-body and drain-body depletion widths, the charge in the channel due to these parasitic diodes become comparable to the depletion charge due to the MOS gate-body voltage [Poon et al. 1973], rendering the gate and body term...

In this paper a study on appropriate plant diagram synthesis for usersuited HMI in operating control is presented. Discussion is based on the longterm personal experience and illustrated with excerpts of existing HMIs developed for research and industrial use. The HMI notion is defined for operating control and for operator training. The paper present three aspects of plant diagrams design. The...

Piezoelectric transducers are known to exhibit less hysterisis when driven with current or charge rather than voltage. Despite this advantage, such methods have found little practical application due to the poor low-frequency response of present current and charge driver designs. This paper introduces the compliance feedback current driver containing a secondary voltage feedback loop to prevent...

Industry today has a severe problem in the automatic t es t i ng of analog cards. At the A i r Force I n s t i t u t e of Technology, we are developing an Expert System based on the s t ruc ture and funct ion of an analog c i r c u i t card to d r ive automatic tes t equipment. This system uses the informat ion contained in the schematic diagram of the c i r c u i t as we l l as fundamental kno...

Hypermedia creation is still considered to be a laborious task in the present stage of multimedia computing, particularly for information migrated from older forms. Existing automatic creation methods only generate restricted forms of hyperlinking and have been developed primarily for the conversion of free textual information. They have limitations in creating hyperlinked service manuals which...

A method for visualization of analog circuit schematic starting from a netlist is described in this paper. The images obtained have a comprehensible form, symmetrical structures and other analog topological patterns being discovered in the circuit netlist. The method is based on two algorithms. The first one, the symmetry algorithm, exploits the possibility to extract topology information from ...

Diagrams are used in many areas of study to depict knowledge and to assist in understanding of problems. This paper aims to utilize schematic representation to facilitate understanding of certain philosophical works; specifically, it is an attempt, albeit tentative, to schematize A. N. Whitehead’s ontological approach. It targets professionals and students in fields outside of philosophy such a...

SUMMARY PDZBase is a database that aims to contain all known PDZ-domain-mediated protein-protein interactions. Currently, PDZBase contains approximately 300 such interactions, which have been manually extracted from > 200 articles. The database can be queried through both sequence motif and keyword-based searches, and the sequences of interacting proteins can be visually inspected through align...

The recent history of Islamic finance is riddled with a number of paradoxes. First, there is a great rift between the economics literature on Islamic finance, and the practical approaches taken by financial experts and practitioners in the area. Second, despite two or more decades of rhetoric regarding the development of uniform standards for Islamic finance, the market remains largely segmente...

The purpose of this study was to establish the appropriateness a comprehensive model for curriculum planning in Kingdom Saudi Arabia, including its processes and procedures. researcher employed descriptive approach. created containing objectives, foundations, procedures, visual schematic diagram illustrating 14 specialists' responses. They demonstrated elements' suitability development by very ...
