As CMOS technologies scale to deep submicron technology nodes, improvements in transistor density and cost due to scaling inevitably come with degraded analog performance and increased device variability. Variation presents a major challenge to reliably building large arrays of mixed-signal circuits in nanometer scale CMOS processes. To determine the feasibility of creating highly sensitive rea...

Commercially available near-infrared (IR) imagers are fabricated by integrating expensive epitaxial grown III-V compound semiconductor sensors with Si-based readout integrated circuits (ROIC) by indium bump bonding which significantly increases the fabrication costs of these image sensors. Furthermore, these typical III-V compound semiconductors are not sensitive to the visible region and thus ...

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article was to develop a new indicator estimate the aggregate long-term expected return on stocks. There is not widely used method model directly aggregated stock market. Most current methods use indirect approaches. We developed that does need an econometric generate returns and provides returns. proposed methodology can be future market similar yield-to-maturity f...

This paper recognizes the importance of risk analysis for investment decisions. Therefore, it examines and calculates a few key parameters compares level Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (J), Fluor Corporation (FLR) MasTec, Inc. (MTZ) among top three companies in "Heavy Construction Other Than Building Contractors" industry United States (US). There are two main factors to consider when assessing r...

Alignment of the sensor focal plane array (FPA) to optical components is a critical design feature. Imaging system designs include reference datums that provide the basis for manufacturing alignment in each sub-assembly. Measurement of z and parallelism positioning can be problematic, since the relevant datum features are often beneath the mounting platform and are obscured to the measurement s...

The study aimed to compare the effect of sound corporate governance on manufacturing companies in South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana financial performance. used a purposive sampling method select 60 companies, which twenty-nine (29) were from 17 14 Ghana. employed GMM FMOLS estimate firm’s According study, Africa has longest average board tenure at 7.85 years, followed by Nigeria 4.7 years 3.9 ye...

This paper presents a 64×64 pixel micro-bolometer based temporal contrast IR sensor. The pixels of the sensor independently and asynchronously respond to changes in thermal IR radiation and communicate respective events via arbitrated AER. A 46dB-gain, small-area, ultra low-power, low-mismatch differencing switched-capacitor amplifier has been designed for reading out the bolometer front-end. T...
