I-CHLOROBUTADIENE-BUTADIENE COPOLYMER AS GENERAL-PURPOSE NEW RUBBER

Nanotechnology as general purpose technology

Scientific literature postulates that nanotechnology is to be considered as general purpose technology (GPT), characterized by pervasiveness, high technological dynamism and the inducement of innovations within a variety of applications. We set out to not only further systematize existing approaches investigating nanotechnology’s GPT traits based on patent applications, but to extend the analys...

General-Purpose Computation without General-Purpose Processors

A New General Purpose Parallel Database

This paper is concerned with the transparent par-allelisation of declarative database queries, based on theoretical principles. We have designed an entire database architecture suitable for use on any general-purpose parallel machine. This architecture addresses the shortcomings in exibility and scalability of commercial parallel databases. A substantial beneet is that the mathematical principl...

CP as a General-Purpose Constraint-Language

In this paper we present the notion of concurrent, controllable constraint systems. We argue that purely declarative search formalisms, whether they are based on dependency-directed backtracking (as in Steele [Steele, 19801 or Bruynooghe [Bruynooghe and Pereira, 19851) or bottomup breadth-fist (albeit incremental) definite clause theorem provers (as in deKleer’s ATM approach [deKleer, 19861) or...

A Simple General-purpose I-V Model for All Operating Modes of Deep Submicron MOSFETs

A simple general-purpose I-V model for all operating modes of deep-submicron MOSFETs is presented. Considering the most dominant short channel effects with simple equations including few extra parameters, a reasonable trade-off between simplicity and accuracy is established. To further improve the accuracy, model parameters are optimized over various channel widths and full range of operating v...
