We propose and demonstrate the operation of a monolithic field-effect-transistor-amplified magnetic field sensor device, in which a tunnel-magnetoresistive ~TMR! material is incorporated within the gate of a Si metal–oxide–semiconductor–field-effect transistor. A fixed voltage is applied across the TMR layer, which leads charge to build up within the gate. Applying or changing an external magne...

SRAM-based FPGAs are popular in the aerospace industry for their field programmability and low cost. However, they suffer from cosmic radiationinduced Single Event Upsets (SEUs). Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) is a well-known technique to mitigate SEUs in FPGAs that is often used with another SEU mitigation technique known as configuration scrubbing. Traditional TMR provides protection against...

BACKGROUND A relatively simple, invasive method for quantitatively assessing the status of the coronary microcirculation independent of the epicardial artery is lacking. METHODS AND RESULTS By using a coronary pressure wire and modified software, it is possible to calculate the mean transit time of room-temperature saline injected down a coronary artery. The inverse of the hyperemic mean tran...

In our previous work, we have studied the performance of three data distribution schemes, Send Followed Compress (SFC), Compress Followed Send (CFS), and Encoding-Decoding (ED), for sparse arrays based on the traditional matrix representation (TMR) scheme. Since multi-dimensional arrays can also be represented by the extended Karnaugh map representation (EKMR) scheme, in this paper, we first ap...

A small region of the Ti plasmid (the tmr locus), thought to be involved in phytohormone metabolism in Agrobacterium tumefaciens-transformed plant tissue, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. By enzyme assay, the tmr locus was shown to encode isopentenyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in cytokinin biosynthesis.

Fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with Co-based Heusler alloy Co(2)MnSi electrodes and a MgO tunnel barrier were fabricated with various values of Mn composition α for Co(2)Mn(α)Si in Co(2)Mn(α)Si/MgO/Co(2)Mn(α)Si MTJs. The tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios at both 4.2 K and room temperature (RT) increased systematically with increasing α in Co(2)Mn(α)Si electrodes from Mn-de...

BACKGROUND We report a psychologically motivated intervention to explore Technology Mediated Reflection (TMR), the process of systematically reviewing rich digital records of past personal experiences. Although TMR benefits well-being, and is increasingly being deployed, we know little about how one's mood when using TMR influences these benefits. We use theories of memory and emotion-regulatio...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to evaluate clinical effects, exercise performance and effect on maximal oxygen consumption (MVO2) of transmyocardial revascularization with CO2-laser (TMR) in patients with refractory angina pectoris. BACKGROUND Transmyocardial laser revascularization is a new method to treat patients with refractory angina pectoris not eligible for conventional revasc...

BACKGROUND Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) can transport macromolecular cargos into live cells. However, the cellular delivery efficiency of these reagents is often suboptimal because CPP-cargo conjugates typically remain trapped inside endosomes. Interestingly, irradiation of fluorescently labeled CPPs with light increases the release of the peptide and its cargos into the cytosol. However, t...

The insulating granular film of Co±Al±O consists of nano-scaled magnetic granules of cobalt embedded in amorphous alumina. This kind of system shows a large tunnel-type giant magnetoresistance (TMR) effect at room temperature when its composition and microstructure are appropriate [1]. Similar to the other fine magnetic particle systems, the grains in this film may correlate each other. However...
