A novel one-transistor dynamic random access memory (1T DRAM) cell has been proposed for a low-voltage operation and longer data retention time. The proposed 1T DRAM cell has three features compared with a conventional 1T DRAM cell: low body doping concentration, a recessed gate structure, and a P poly-Si gate. Simulation results show that the proposed 1T DRAM cell has < 1-ns program time and >...

Following the trend of miniaturization in semiconductor industry, atmospheric plasma jets array configuration were developed for cleaning or treatment workpieces under homogeneous conditions. We describe here first, development a small five individual identical cells where each cell is ignited and quenched individually, which can be upscaled to several tens hundreds cells. The power electronics...

Source-drain follower has been designed and implemented for monolithically integrated biosensor array. The circuit acts as a voltage follower, in which a sensing transistor is operated at fixed gatesource and gate-drain voltages. It operates at 10 nW power dissipation. The wide-swing cascode configurations are investigated in constant and non-constant biasing methods. The constant biased cascod...

Generation of residual direct-current (DC) voltage (VrDC) induces serious image sticking liquid crystal displays (LCDs). In this study, a novel technique to determine the VrDC LC cells is proposed. We found that could be determined from current-voltage (I-V) curve obtained by application triangular voltage. case vertically aligned twisted nematic (VTN) mode cell, where vertical electric field a...

OBJECTIVE To study the effects and underlying mechanisms of voltage-gated K(+) channels on the proliferation of multiple myeloma cells. METHODS RPMI-8226 MM cell line was used for the experiments. Voltage-gated K(+) currents and the resting potential were recorded by whole-cell patch-clamp technique. RT-PCR detected Kv channel mRNA expression. Cell viability was analyzed with MTT assay. Cell ...

Finding accurate mathematical model of electrical equivalent circuit solar photovoltaic (PV) cell is crucial to achieve and improve maximum power point, simulation design efficiency computations for energy system. Due the nonlinearity characteristic PV cell, optimization methods are best estimating parameters which lead I-V curve. In this paper, camel behavior search algorithm proposed as a new...

Cascaded multilevel converters based on medium-frequency (MF) AC-links have been proposed as alternatives to the traditional low-voltage inverter, which uses a bulky low-frequency transformer step-up voltage medium (MV) levels. In this paper, three-phase cascaded DC-AC-AC converter with AC-link for medium-voltage applications is proposed. Three stages integrate each (cell): MF square generator;...

AMPA and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated synaptic responses expressed differential paired-pulse plasticity when examined in the same cell using intracellular or whole cell voltage-clamp recordings. Electrical stimulation of corticostriatal afferents in brain slices bathed in artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing bicuculline produces excitatory postsynaptic potentials and excit...

It is often assumed that the input voltage source of a switch-mode power supply is constant or shows negligible small variations. However, the last assumption is no longer valid when a fuel-cell stack is used as input source. A fuel-cell stack is characterised by low and unregulated DC output voltage, in addition, this voltage decreases in a non-linear fashion when the demanded current increase...
