This paper presents an efficient method to render clouds in their natural dynamic (i.e.forming, dissipating, flowing). The algorithm uses flat „3D textures” to represent volumetric data. This is used to compute the amount of light reaching each voxel. The light values are computed in real time and then visualised using a slicing technique to enable on-line interaction with the cloud model.

A fully integrated frequency synthesizer that generates multiple frequencies for use in frequency channelized receivers is designed in 0.25μm CMOS technology. Many of the unique features of this receiver have been exploited to design a highly integrated and power efficient multi-output frequency synthesizer including the poly-phase filters. The synthesizer generates 4, 5, 6, and 7 GHz signals w...

Inch-worm motors achieve high linear displacements with high forces while dissipating low power. Design of a wheel to achieve angular displacement from inch-worm motors is described. Test structures are then suggested to measure unknown parameters and determine how best to build wheels for a microvehicle. Conclusions and future work are then discussed.

This paper addresses complexity issues at algorithmic and architectural level of digital baseband receiver ASIC design for GSM/GPRS/EDGE, in order to reduce power and die area as desired for cellular applications. A 2.5G multimode architecture is implemented in 0.13μm CMOS technology occupying 1.0mm and dissipating only 1.3mW in fastest EDGE data transmission mode.

To decelerate the body and limbs, muscles lengthen actively to dissipate energy. During rapid energy-dissipating events, tendons buffer the work done on muscle by storing elastic energy temporarily, then releasing this energy to do work on the muscle. This elastic mechanism may reduce the risk of muscle damage by reducing peak forces and lengthening rates of active muscle.

A fifth-order CMOS continuous-time Bessel filter with a tunable 6to IS-MHZ cutoff frequency is described. This fully balanced transconductance-capacitor (G~ – C) leapfrog filter achieves a dynamic range of 55 dB while dissipating 96 mW in a 5-V 0.9-pm CMOS process. The on-chip master–slave tuning system uses a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO).
