This application note describes how to enable a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) to generate a quick and controlled waveform (rise time and wave shapes) from a predefined set of digital data. The rise time of a waveform generated using Automatic mode can be much quicker, but generation of all waveform shapes is not possible through Automatic mode. Automatic mode can generate square, triangle, ...

Current powered prosthetic legs require switching control modes according to the task the user is performing (e.g. level-ground walking, stair climbing, walking on slopes, etc.). To allow prosthesis users safely and seamlessly transition between tasks, it is critical to determine when to switch the prosthesis control mode during task transitions. Our previous study defined critical timings for ...

Studying out isochronous and automatic project about three-dimensional imaging system of dairy cow forming by computer, CCD video camera, frame grabber, photoelectric switch, SCM, automatic door, electric barrier etc. SCM detects signal of photoelectric switch, and it makes sure info of the orientation of dairy cow. Computer control frame grabber to grab image. The dynamic link libraries techno...

This work designs and analyzes a cost-effective growable multicast asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch that has a new grouping network structure. The proposed switch can easily be enlarged by using more stages, since both cell routing and contention resolution are designed to distribute over switch elements. Experimental results indicate that, by allowing valid cells to enter grouping netwo...

In this paper, a new single-stage, single-switch input-current-shaping (SICS) technique which features substantially reduced turn-on switching loss of the switch in a SICS flyback topology is described. In the proposed technique, the turn-on switching loss due to the discharging of the output capacitance of the switch is reduced by turning on the switch when its voltage is minimum. To achieve t...

Relay cells of the lateral geniculate nucleus, like those of other thalamic nuclei, manifest two distinct response modes, and these represent two very different forms of relay of information to cortex. When relatively hyperpolarized, these relay cells respond with a low threshold Ca2+ spike that triggers a brief burst of conventional action potentials. These cells switch to tonic mode when depo...

As the number of cores on a chip increases, power consumed by the communication structures takes significant portion of the overall power-budget. As technology scales to deep sub-micron processes, leakage power becomes increasingly significant as compared to dynamic power. In this paper, we design a power-aware switch including three operating modes, and they are normal mode, lease-line mode, a...

During development, sensory systems switch from an immature to an adult mode of function along with the emergence of the active cortical states. Here, we used patch-clamp recordings from neocortical slices in vitro to characterize the developmental changes in the basic electrophysiological properties of excitatory L4 neurons and their connectivity before and after the developmental switch, whic...

This document describes a MAPOS extension, Node Switch Protocol, for automatic node address assignment. MAPOS is a multiple access protocol for transmission of network-protocol datagrams, encapsulated in High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) frames, over SONET/SDH. NSP automates the HDLC address configuration of each node. Using NSP, a node retrieves its HDLC address from the switch to which it i...
