We describe a fast (linear time) procedure to optimally size transistors in a chain of multi-input gates/stages. The fast sizing is used in a simultaneous sizing and restructuring optimization procedure, to accurately predict relative optimal performance of alternative circuit structures for a given total area. The idea extends the concept of optimally sizing a buffer chain[5], and uses taperin...

Spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric water vapor (H2O) is extremely high, and therefore it is difficult to accurately evaluate the measurement precision of H2O data by a simple comparison between the data derived from two different instruments. We determined the measurement precisions of column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of H2O (XH2O) retrieved independently from spectral radian...

1 We consider the operation of automated mobility-on-demand systems, whereby users share access to a fleet 2 of self-driving vehicles. In these systems, rebalancing, the process by which the supply of empty vehicles is 3 periodically realigned with the demand for transport, is carried out by a fleet operator. Where much of the 4 rebalancing literature skews to the theoretical or simulation-base...

A precise, accurate and well documented method for the sizing and counting of microbubbles is essential for all aspects of quantitative microbubble-enhanced ultrasound imaging. The efficacy of (a) electro-impedance volumetric zone sensing (ES) also called a Coulter counter/multisizer; (b) optical microscopy (OM); and (c) laser diffraction (LD), for the sizing and counting of microbubbles was as...

From the angel of environment protection, through analysing the properties of three majority types of sizing agent, such as starch(modified starch), PVA(polyvinyl alcohol) and acrylic size, we attempted to compare the sizing performance indices of several different environment protection sizing agents. We also briefly introduced several printing pastes with research values currently which could...

In this paper we consider transistor sizing to reduce crosstalk. First, crosstalk noise dependency on wire width, wire spacing, driver and receiver sizes are discussed, and validated by experiments. Then transistor sizing for timing and noise is discussed and solved using optimization techniques. Experimental results suggest that crosstalk violations can be removed by transistor sizing with ver...
