Abstract:

In this article different types of artificial neural networks (ANN) were used for CNTFET (carbon nanotube transistors) simulation. CNTFET is one of the most likely alternatives to silicon transistors due to its excellent electronic properties. In determining the accurate output drain current of CNTFET, time lapsed and accuracy of different simulation methods were compared. The training data for ANNs were obtained by numerical ballistic FETToy model which is not directly applicable in circuit simulators like HSPICE. The ANN models were simulated in MATLAB R2010a software. In order to achieve more effective and consistent features, the UTA method was used and the overall performance of the models was tested in MATLAB. Finally the fast and accurate structure was introduced as a sub circuit for implementation in HSPICE simulator and then the implemented model was used to simulate a current source and an inverter circuit. Results indicate that the proposed ANN model is suitable for nanoscale circuits to be used in simulators like HSPICE.

Effective Feature Selection for Pre-Cancerous Cervix Lesions Using Artificial Neural Networks

Since most common form of cervical cancer starts with pre-cancerous changes, a flawless detection of these changes becomes an important issue to prevent and treat the cervix cancer. There are 2 ways to stop this disease from developing. One way is to find and treat pre-cancers before they become true cancers, and the other is to prevent the pre-cancers in the first place. The presented approach...

Modelling Pedestrians Using Artificial Neural Networks

There has been an increasing interest in pedestrian detection in the last decade to save the numerous deaths caused by accidents in which pedestrians are involved. Vehicle manufacturers are addressing these challenges by looking into extendable vehicle body structures , to be activated on first impact with a pedestrian. A complementary approach is to focus on sensor based solutions, which enabl...
