Hand-drawn sketch is a natural and direct way to express people’s thought and meaning and is of common use in many different fields. Document image analysis is an active and challenging area of research in computer vision. Documents comprise of text and graphics. Machine recognition of hand-written text involves languages, mathematical symbols, digits, medical symbols etc. Machine recognition o...

Various compact models have been of great interest and studied for deep-submicron metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device simulation. The model parameters extraction intrinsically characterizes properties of designed and fabricated devices. It leads to a multidimensional optimization problem to be solved and extracted efficiently for the applications to very large scal...

Integral equation techniques are often used to extract models of integrated circuit structures. This extraction involves solving a dense system of linear equations, and using direct solution methods is prohibitive for large problems. In this paper, we present IES (pronounced \ice cube"), a fast Integral Equation Solver for three-dimensional problems with arbitrary kernels. Extraction methods ba...

A new fault list reduction approach is proposed for use in the first stage of a two-stage bridge fault diagnosis procedure. Modified structural analysis and layout extraction procedures are performed to obtain a reduced realistic bridge fault list that can be used in the second stage, which employs diagnostic fault simulation. The fault list reduction approach can reduce the final candidate bri...

The required kicker field strengths are 283 Gauss for injection and 435 Gauss for extraction. In the original design, three kickers had identical circuit configurations in order to reduce the amount of design work and the number of spare parts. However, during initial test it was found that it was the best to tune the kickers differently based upon their main function, i.e., beam injection or b...

Edward Liu and Alberto L. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences University of California Berkeley, California 94720 Abstract This paper presents behavioral representations for detectors and voltage-controlled oscillators that are independent of circuit architectures. Parameter extraction techniques are described. Finally, parameter extraction for a VCO...

This paper presents the equivalent circuit modelling and eigenfrequency analysis of a wideband robust capacitive radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch that was designed using Poly-Si and Au layer membrane for highly reliable switching operation. The circuit characterization includes the extraction of resistance, inductance, on and off state capacitance, and Q-factor. ...
