This letter presents a current-shaping technique for static MOS current-mode logic (MCML) prescalers. Simply with two extra current-shaping capacitors the self-oscillating frequecy is increased. A current vector model is also presented to illustrate the principles. The prescaler with the current-shaping technique was fabricated in a 0.18μm CMOS technology with a reference classic one. The measu...

This paper deals with traac shaping performed at the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL). First, the application of a shaping scheme based on the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm is discussed. Later on, a mathematical model for the traac shaping scheme at the AAL using message mode is introduced. Finally, with the use of the mathematical model some results related to the performance of the shaping scheme app...

In this contribution we present a comparison of the performance of spectrally broadened ultrashort pulses using a hollow-core fiber either filled with argon or sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for demanding pulse-shaping experiments. The benefits of both gases for pulse-shaping are studied in the highly nonlinear process of high-harmonic generation. In this setup, temporally shaping the driving laser ...

introduction: the objective of this study was to compare the shaping ability of three rotary filing systems; constant taper k3 instruments, constant taper profile instruments and progressive taper protaper rotary instruments in clear resin blocks with simulated curved root canals. materials and methods: forty five resin blocks were divided into three groups. group a preparation was conducted wi...
