In deep submicron CMOS and BICMOS technologies, antenna effects affect floating gate charge of usual floating gate test structures, dedicated to capacitor matching measurement. In this paper a new pseudo-floating gate test structure is designed. After test structure and modeling presentation, testing method and results are given for several capacitor layouts (poly-poly and metal-metal). key wor...

This thesis examines a modern concept for machine numbers based on interval arithmetic called 'Unums' and compares it to IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic, evaluating possible uses of this format where floating-point numbers are inadequate. In the course of this examination, this thesis builds theoretical foundations for IEEE 754 floating-point numbers, interval arithmetic based on the project...

A multiple-unit oral floating system was prepared using the emulsification-solvent diffusion method to prolong the gastric emptying time of theophylline. For this purpose, theophylline, ethyl cellulose and dibutyl phthalate were dissolved in an ethanol/dichloromethane mixture, added to 0.1 M HCl containing NaCl (20%) or saturated theophylline and/or different concentrations of polysorbate 80 an...

It is tempting to describe any structure or body part which is not in continuity with its adjacent structures as 'floating'. The indiscriminate use of this word has led to description of complex injury patterns, surgeries, congenital anomalies, functional deformities or even normal anatomical structures by a single vague term 'floating'. The article stresses the importance of proper description...

Floating-point numbers and floating-point arithmetic contain some surprising pitfalls. In particular, the widely-adopted IEEE 754 standard contains a number that is “not a number,” and thus has some surprising properties. One has to be extremely careful in writing assertions about floating point numbers, to avoid these pitfalls. This column describes the problems and how a language might elimin...

Floating-point division is generally regarded as a low frequency, high latency operation in typical floating-point applications.So due to this not much development had taken place in this field. But nowadays floating point divider has become indispensable and increasingly important in many modern applications. Most of the previous implementation required much larger area and latencies. In this ...

Due to large amounts of traditional energy consumption, faces increasingly dry up, people began to look for alternative new energy. And waves in the ocean energy can make a very good substitute, so countries began to study wave energy power generation. In the study of wave power device, the movement and stress of the floating body and have a crucial impact on device. In this paper, floating bod...

Two novel methods are proposed which enhance the angular sampling rate of the integral floating display by adopting dynamically variable apertures in front of the lenslet array or the floating lens. Adopted dynamically variable apertures are opened sequentially in synchronization with proper elemental images to subdivide the angular sampling step by time-multiplexing method. Our proposed method...
