Parameter variations have become a dominant challenge in microprocessor design. Voltage variation is especially daunting because it happens rapidly. We measure and characterize voltage variation in a running Intel R © CoreTM2 Duo processor. By sensing on-die voltage as the processor runs single-threaded, multithreaded, and multi-program workloads, we determine the average supply voltage swing o...

Recognition of the continuing need for 'psychiatric social work' within the context of generically based social services departments.

Motor proteins, such as dynein, use chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis to move along the cytoskeleton. Roberts et al. (2009) now describe the arrangement of subdomains in the motor domain of dynein and propose a model for how these regions function together in force generation.

Mood Swings is introduced: an affective interactive art installation that interprets and visualizes affect expressed by a person. Founded on the integration of a color model and a framework for affective movements, Mood Swings recognizes affective movement characteristics, processes these, and displays a color that matches the expressed emotion. Mood Swings was successfully evaluated by 36 muse...

The design and implementation of a low power high speed differential signaling input/output (I/O) interface in 0.18um CMOS technology is presented. The motivations for smaller signal swings in transmission are discussed. The prototype chip supports 4 Gbps data rate with less than 10mA current at 1.8V supply according to Cadence Spectre post-layout simulations. Performance comparisons between th...

This paper is concentrated mainly to the cause and to clear the Power Swings in synchronous generator due to rotor speed oscillations in wind farm which is a distributed generation to maintain the stability of rotor oscillations. The paper presents different conditions of disturbances and faults in specified time period. In Power System Damping Oscillation modes are excited due to disturbance i...
