Circuit intricacy, speed, low-offset voltage, and resolution are essential factors for high-speed applications like analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The comparator circuit with preamplifier increases the power dissipation, as it requires higher amount of currents than the latch circuitry. In this research, a novel topology of dynamic latch comparator is illustrated, which is able to provide...

This paper proposes a methodology for compound objects’ recognition based on comparators and comparator networks. The methodology is supported by a collection of techniques and algorithms for construction and learning of comparator networks. Formal description of the methodology is accompanied by selected examples of its application in reallife problems. The described methodology has been imple...

KSU's results from the 2004 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) contained strong and substantial evidence of the assurance of learning in the university's undergraduate educational experience. The overall educational experience at KSU was highly rated by first-year and senior students. Findings affirmed high levels of assurance of learning in the fundamental learning outcomes of Genera...

In this paper, A CMOS comparator with high low power application is presented. The comparator has been designed and simulated in 180nm CMOS technology. It is designed to sense low voltage using Double-Tail Dual-Rail Dynamic switching method.

A set of input vectors S is conclusive for a certain functionality if, for every comparator network, correct functionality for all input vectors is implied by correct functionality for all vectors in S. We consider four functionalities of comparator networks: sorting, merging, sorting of bitonic vectors, and halving. For each of these functionalities, we present two conclusive sets of minimal c...

OBJECTIVE Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to childhood abuse is associated with features of affect regulation and interpersonal disturbances that substantially contribute to impairment. Existing treatments do not address these problems or the difficulties they may pose in the exploration of trauma memories, an efficacious and frequently recommended approach to resolving PTSD. The a...

BACKGROUND Exenatide twice daily is a first-in-class glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the safety profile of exenatide twice daily and to compare its profile with that of a pooled comparator (placebo and insulin) in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Data from 19 completed, randomized, contr...

In previous work we have introduced an average-case measure for the time complexity of Boolean circuits – that is the delay between feeding the input bits into a circuit and the moment when the results are ready at the output gates – and analysed this complexity measure for prefix computations. Here we consider the problem to sort large integers that are given in binary notation. Contrary to a ...
