One of the leading power companies in Denmark, Elsam Kraft A/S, has proposed a vision of the Danish energy sector (end of 2004), with a working title ’’From petrol to REtrol’’ (originally ‘‘From benzin to VEnzin’’, vedvarende = renewable, in Danish). The vision points to changes in the energy sector from being based on combined production of electricity and heat to one based on combined product...

In this paper, we report the achieved performance of devices and integrated circuits (ICs) using a manufacturable InP DHBT-based technology. High speed MBE grown InGaAs/InP DHBTs with an effective emitter junction area of 4.8 μm exhibited peak fT and fMAX values of 265 and 305 GHz, respectively, at a collector current density of 3.75 mA/μm. Using this technology, a set of basic analog and digit...

Does computer-mediation enhance student performance or student interest in the learning process? In this paper we present the somewhat tentative results of an experiment carried out in teaching/learning methodology and pedagogy. The goal of the experiment was to examine, compare and elicit results to identify the differences, If any, in leaning outcomes between two classes One class was taught ...

The complexity of current and future integrated systems requires a paradigm shift towards component-based design techno logies that enable the integration of large computational cores, memory hierarchies and communication channel as well as system and application software onto a single chip. Moving from a set of case studies, we give an overview of energy-efficient systemlevel design, emphasizi...
