This paper suggests an approach to CAD system development based on its creation as a set of programming modules. Some of these modules can be used in next generation of CAD systems or they can be embedded in another CAD software. The main reason to create such project is that it can be used as software application from fashion designers to make boutique collections of knitting products. The pro...

Data exchange between different computer-aided design (CAD) systems is a major problem inhibiting information integration in collaborative engineering environments. Existing CAD data format standards such as STEP and IGES enable geometric data exchange. However, they ignore construction history, features, constraints, and other parametric-based CAD data. As a result, they are inadequate for sup...

Systemic inflammation is associated with sympathetic cardiac activation and decreased HRV (heart rate variability) in subjects at high risk of CAD (coronary artery disease). In the present study, we examined the influence of systemic inflammation, measured by CRP (C-reactive protein), on vagal HR (heart rate) control during behavioural relaxation in patients with CAD. It was hypothesized that C...

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a powerful technique to reduce power consumption in a chip multiprocessor (CMP). To support DVFS in the multicore power delivery network, we integrate on-chip switched-capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters that can work with multiple conversion ratios to provide varying levels of Vdd supplies. We study the application of such SC converters in multicore ...
