Neuromuscular control strategies might change with age and predispose the elderly to knee-joint injury. The purposes of this study were to determine whether long latency responses (LLRs), muscle-activation patterns, and movement accuracy differ between the young and elderly during a novel single-limb-squat (SLS) task. Ten young and 10 elderly participants performed a series of resistive SLSs (a...

The principle of resistive charge division for position measurement was laid out by Radeka in 1974 [1] but, to date, has not been explored for estimating the longitudinal coordinate for silicon microstrip detectors. To exploit resistive charge division, the impedance of the readout structure must be large relative to the dynamic impedance of the amplifier circuitry. Somewhat counter-intuitively...

A survey on the development of resistive network synthesis is presented. Tellegen’s result is first introduced, which shows that paramountcy is the necessary and sufficient condition for synthesis if n ≤ 3. Then, some more general cases are presented, including works by Cederbaum, Guillemin, Brown, Reed, Weinberg, and Boesch. These results range from necessary realizability conditions of genera...

In this study we present the effect of elevated temperatures from 300K to 400K on the electrical properties of copper Phthalocyanine (CuPc) based organic field effect transistors (OFET). Thin films of organic semiconductor CuPc (40nm) and semitransparent Al (20nm) were deposited in sequence, by vacuum evaporation on a glass substrate with previously deposited Ag source and drain electrodes with...

The purpose of our work is to evaluate single-electron devices fabricated using resistive microstrips and to investigate its applicability for single-electron logic. In this article, we present our work on the fabrication and characterization of SETs with gold islands and CrOx resistive microstrips. The electron transport mechanism of CrOx resistors is also discussed and hypothesis of two types...
