The Teramac configurable hardware system can execute synchronous logic designs of up to one million gates at rates up to l megahertz. A fully configured Teramac includes half a gigabyte of RAM and hardware support for large multiported register files. The system has been built from custom FPGA's packaged in large multichip modules (MCMs). A large custom circuit (-1,000,000 gates) may be compile...

Radio frequency identification (RFID), The real-time location of objects and ability to track motion provide a wide range of useful applications in areas such as safety, security and supply chain. In recent years, radio frequency identification technology has moved from obscurity into mainstream applications that help speed the handling of manufactured goods and materials. RFID enables identifi...

Dental implants with their increasing success rates and predictability of final outcome are fast becoming the treatment of choice for replacing missing teeth. Considering the success of immediate implant placement in reducing tissue loss and achieving good esthetic results, is making it a more popular treatment modality in implant dentistry. Understanding the management of gingival tissues in r...

The design challenges and custom design techniques associated with low-power, smallarea, high-performance CMOS digital signalprocessing circuits for hard-disk-drive applications are presented. The advantages of custom design are demonstrated by an example custom digital FIR filter macro that provides substantial improvement in performance, area, and power dissipation over standard-cell implemen...

Driving an inertial many-body system out of equilibrium generates complex dynamics due to memory effects and the intricate relationships between external driving force, internal forces, transport effects. Understanding underlying physics is challenging often requires carrying case-by-case analysis. To systematically study interplay all types forces that contribute dynamics, a method generate pr...
