A new multi function voltage-mode universal biquadratic filter using single Voltage Differencing Differential Input Buffered Amplifier (VD-DIBA), two capacitors and one resistor is proposed. The proposed configuration has four inputs and one output and can realize all the five standard filters from the same circuit configuration. The presented biquad filter offers low active and passive sensiti...

BACKGROUND Lung-protective ventilation using tidal volume (V(T)) of 4-6 mL/kg (predicted body weight) reduces mortality (compared with traditional V(T)) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury. Standardized use of lower V(T) can result in respiratory acidosis and has raised new concerns about the appropriate configuration of the ventilator circuit, especially ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is commonly used for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. During treatment, a slow dialysate flow rate can be applied to enhance diffusive solute removal. However, due to the lack of the rationale of the dialysate flow configuration (countercurrent or concurrent to blood flow), in clinical practice, the connection settings...

FPGAs are used in various applications like aero-space, automotive, military etc which require them to operate in different types of environments. Security of FPGA based system is a big concern as the system developed after lot of research can be stolen very easily. Nowadays, a lot of research is going on, considering various security aspects of FPGAs as the primary concern. Several cryptograph...

With the rapid development of semiconductor technology and the increasing proliferation of emission sources, digital circuits are frequently used in harsh electromagnetic environments. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) interferences are gradually gaining prominence, resulting in performance degradations, malfunctions and disturbances in component or system level applications. Conventional solutions...

A compact integrated CMOS circuit for temporal differentiation is presented. It consists of a high-gain inverting amplifier, an active non-linear transconductance and a capacitor and requires only 4 transistors in its minimal configuration. The circuit provides two rectified current outputs that are proportional to the temporal derivative of the input voltage signal. Besides the compactness of ...

The fault level represents the maximum short circuit current that a power system causes to flow to the point of short circuit. Due to change of network configuration, the fault level at any point of the power system network changes accordingly. It is not practical to apply full short circuit on the system in order to determine the fault level. This paper describes scheme for continuous measurin...
