In this paper, a circuit employing current controlled current conveyor trans-conductance amplifiers (CCCCTAs) as active element is proposed which can function both as biquad filter and oscillator. It uses two CCCCTAs and two capacitors. As a biquad filter it can realizes all the standard filtering functions (low pass, band pass, high pass, band reject and all pass) in voltage-mode and provides ...

Many biological processes are rhythmic and proper timing is increasingly appreciated as being critical for development and maintenance of physiological functions. To understand how temporal modulation of an input signal influences downstream responses, we employ microfluidic pulsatile stimulation of a G-protein coupled receptor, the muscarinic M3 receptor, in single cells with simultaneous real...

We report on the feedback control of a periodically driven FitzHugh-Nagumo system displaying various dynamical regimes, regular and chaotic, including chaotic spiking. The feedback term is composed of a high-pass or an all-pass filter. We provide a characterization of the efficiency of the filters in controlling the dynamical state of the system, both experimentally (electronic circuit) and num...

This article proposes an alternative method for designing miniature waveguide filters based on locally resonant metamaterials. Implementation of ultra-small metamaterial (metafilters) using the subwavelength direction mechanism in hollow waveguides loaded with small resonators. In particular, composite pin are used, constructed from a metal tube set pins that spaced over deep distances. such st...

Quantization noise levels of two low-sensitive allpass filter structures, namely wave digital circulator filters (WDCF) and lossless digital integrator filters (LDIF), are compared. Allpass filters are of interest for design of lowpass and bandpass lattice filters. The results show, primarily, that second-order LDIFs have lower total quantization noise gains than corresponding WCDFs for any pol...

We present a discrete-time mathematical formulation for applying recursive digital filters to non-uniformly sampled signals. Our solution presents several desirable features: it preserves the stability of the original filters; is well-conditioned for low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters alike; its cost is linear in the number of samples and is not affected by the size of the filter suppor...
