Resistive-switching devices based on Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) structures have shown promising memory performance characteristics while enabling higher density of integration. Usually, these MIM devices are fabricated using different processing conditions including high temperature thermal treatments that could lead to undesirable chemical reactions in the insulator material and at its interf...

Micro/nanofluidic experiments in synthetic representations of tight porous media, often referred to as "reservoir-on-a-chip" devices, are an emerging approach to researching anomalous fluid transport trends in energy-bearing and fluid-sequestering geologic porous media. We detail, for the first time, the construction of dual-scale micro/nanofluidic devices that are relatively large-scale, two-d...

Variations of transthoracic electrical impedance and their relations with physiological events within the thorax were studied by using electrodes applying constant sinusoidal current at 55kHz on bilateral chest walls of anesthetized dogs during breath holding. The level of the impedance lowered during decrease of oxygen and elevated during ether gas evaporation in the lungs with steady pulmonar...

The microscopic events engendering liquid water evaporation have received much attention over the last century, but remain incompletely understood. We present measurements of isotope fractionation occurring during free molecular evaporation from liquid microjets and show that the isotope ratios of evaporating molecules exhibit dramatic differences from equilibrium vapor values, strong variation...

This paper discusses the resistive termination of on-chip high-performance interconnects. Resistive termination is effective to improve the bandwidth of on-chip interconnects, on the other hands, increases the power dissipation and the area. Therefore trade-off analysis about resistive termination is necessary. This paper proposes a method to determine the termination of on-chip interconnects. ...

In order to automate the scooping task, it is desirable that the resistive force acting on the bucket be obtained before the scooping is performed. The objective of this study is to derive theoretically the resistive forces acting on the bucket during scooping of piled rock fragments. First, the changes in the shape of the rock pile due to the penetration of it by the bucket are modeled. Based ...

T.H. Jensen Feedback stabilization of the resistive wall mode is usually accomplished by using linear amplifiers. In this paper a study is made of a possibility of controlling resistive wall modes using switches instead of linear amplifiers, i.e., using bang-bang control. The motivation is that bangbang control systems may be cheaper than conventional feedback systems. A distinct disadvantage o...

Resistive Switching (RS) is the change in resistance of a dielectric under the influence of an external current or electric field. This change is non-volatile, and the basis of both the memristor and resistive random access memory. In the latter, high integration densities favor the anti-serial combination of two RS-elements to a single cell, termed the complementary resistive switch (CRS). Mot...

In this paper, the control over the second gate voltage in a dual-gate FET resistive mixer is employed for amplitude remodulating the response signal in a retrodirective array. A resistive mixer is integrated with an aperture coupled square patch, and a data signal voltage, Vg2s(t), is appropriately conceived in order to control the magnitude of the device time-varying output conductance. Measu...

The long-term goal of our laboratory is the development of analog resistive network-based VLSI implementations of early and intermediate vision algorithms. We demonstrate an experimental circuit for smoothing and segmenting noisy and sparse depth data using the resistive fuse and a 1-D edge-detection circuit for computing zero-crossings using two resistive grids with different spaceconstants. T...
