The ability to restore perceived colors for the output of color imaging devices is of great interest. The quality of color reproduction depends on the accuracy of the color correction function used, on the recording and rendering illumination as well as on the spectral sensitivies of the color imaging device used. Much work has been done to develop and evaluate the quality of different color co...

Continuing demands for increased compute efficiency and communication bandwidth have led to the development of novel interconnect technologies with the potential to outperform conventional electrical interconnects. With a plurality of interconnect technologies to include electronics, photonics, plasmonics, and hybrids thereof, the simple approach of counting on-chip devices to capture performan...

OBJECTIVES To determine the optimal kVp and exposure conditions for digital subtraction radiography system using a storage phosphor system. METHOD Signal-to-noise (SNR) measurements were acquired using a Digora system (Soredex, Helsinki, Finland) of large area, low contrast, clinically realistic details against varying degrees of background attenuation for both single exposure unsubtracted an...

This paper presents a fully passive 2nd-order noise-shaping successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed specifically for low-power and low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) applications. By optimizing the coefficients, substantial 24 dB in-band quantization noise suppression is achieved. To further reduce power consumption total unit capacitor count, hybrid sw...

A fundamental challenge in the design of photonic devices, and electromagnetic structures more generally, is optimization their overall architecture to achieve a desired response. To this end, topology or shape optimizers based on adjoint variable method have been widely adopted due high computational efficiency ability create complex freeform geometries. However, functional understanding such ...

The drive inverter represents a central component of an electric vehicle (EV) train, being responsible for the DC/AC power conversion between battery and electrical machine. In this context, novel converter topologies adopting modern 600/650V wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices will play crucial role in improving performance next-generation inverters. fact, WBG theoretically allow to achie...
