Design Course for Micropower Generation Devices
نویسنده
چکیده
A project-based design course is developed for man-portable power generation via microfabricated fuel cell systems. Targeted audience are undergraduate chemical/process engineering students in their nal year. The course covers 6 weeks, with three hours of lectures per week. Two alternative projects are developed, one focusing on selection of alternatives and one focusing on process optimization. The course integrates product and process design.

Micropower Analogue Building Blocks for Template Matching in Implantable Devices
The design of analogue low power VLSI building block is very important for implantable devices, like cochlear implants and implantable cardioverter deebril-lators(ICD). In this paper we describe the micropower analogue building blocks for implementing the template matcher used for intracardiac electrogram (ICEG) clas-siication and data compression in an ICD. These blocks were fabricated using O...
