Understanding the flow fields at the micro-scale is key to developing methods of success-fully mixing fluids for micro-scale applications. This paper investigates flow characteristics and mixing efficiency of three different geometries in micro-channels. The geometries of these channels were rectangular with a dimension of; 300 m wide, 100 m deep and 50 mm long. In first channel there was no ob...

Using the wideband indoor channel measurements data at 2.4, 4.75 and 11.5 GHz of [1], a statistical Ultra Wide Band (UWB) channel model is determined. Employing different windows (i.e. Rectangular, Hanning and Blackman-Harris), the impulse response model for the UWB channel is obtained and accordingly, major channel parameters such as path loss exponent, shadowing, root mean square (rms) delay ...

With the increased need for low power applications, designers are being forced to employ circuit optimization methods that make tradeoffs between performance and power. In this paper, we propose a novel transistor-level optimization method. Instead of drawing the transistor channel as a perfect rectangle, this method involves reshaping the channel to create an optimized device that is superior ...

We revisit the far from equilibrium escape problem across a fluctuating potential barrier that is driven by asymmetric, unbiased dichotomous noise. Our closed analytical solution for arbitrary noise strengths reveals new aspects of the so-called ‘‘resonant-activation’’ effect and leads to interesting implications regarding far from equilibrium or externally controlled chemical reaction processe...
