Worldwide, enteric infections are the second commonest cause of disease burden due to all infectious diseases. It is estimated that they are responsible for 1.3 million deaths per year, mostly in children below 5 years of age in the developing world. Enteric infections are caused by a gamut of bacterial, viral and parasitic agents. These include viruses (rotaviruses, enteric adenoviruses, astro...

This paper presents a distributed circuit model of the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) in the backlight units (BLUs) of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This model consists of nonlinear resistors and parasitic circuit elements, and it can be used to simulate CCFL BLUs for various input waveforms using standard circuit simulators. The nonlinear resistors were modeled after the measured DC ...

Received Mar 1, 2017 Revised May 1, 2017 Accepted May 15, 2017 Reduction of circulating current is one of the major considerations in inverter fed electrical drives. Diode clamped MLI enables higher output current per phase, thereby rating of the drive gets increased effectively. Various methods of triggering in the inverter legs creates better voltage profile and leads to the enabling of circu...

Wucherria bancrofti (Wb) is the main causative agent of Filariasis. Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is a disabling, disfiguring, and a poverty promoting disease which is caused by the parasitic filarial nematode worms. The identification of essential nematode genes has shown that independent phosphoglycerate mutase (iPGM) is an excellent drug target against parasitic nematodes. In this current study,...

As an add-on device option for the ultra-low power CMOS technology, the double-gated vertical-channel Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) of different source configurations are comparatively studied from the perspectives of fabrication and current drivability. While the Top-Source design where the source of the device is placed on the top of the fin makes the fabrication and source engineer...

Passive pixel sensors provide an alternative to the conventional Active Pixel Sensor (APS) for high-density CMOS imaging arrays. Similar to the history of the single-transistor DRAM cell, this one-transistor pixel cell boasts one main advantage over the APS. It can achieve a high fill-factor in a smaller area, leading to a highdensity array of pixels with high quantum efficiency. Experiments re...

In this paper, a modified CCCII is presented. We have used a current mirror with low supply voltage. This circuit is operated at low supply voltage of ±1V. Tspice simulations for TSMC 0.18μm CMOS Technology has shown that the current and voltage bandwidth are respectively 3.34GHz and 4.37GHz, and parasitic resistance at port X has a value of 169.32Ω for a control current of 120μA. In order to r...

The trans-admittance-mode (TAM) might act as a transforming bridge for voltage-mode to current-mode conversion. In this study a new low voltage operated electronically tunable TAM biquad filter structure realizing all the seven standard filtering functions namely; low-pass (LP), band-pass (BP), high-pass (HP), regular-notch (RN), low-pass-notch (LPN), high-pass-notch (HPN) and all-pass (AP) fro...
