Two-dimensional arrays of vertical quantum wire Esaki tunnel diodes, laterally connected to their nearest neighbors by resistive/capacitive connections, constitute a powerful and versatile neuromorphic architecture that can function as classical Boolean logic circuits, associative memory, image processors, and combinatorial optimizers. In this paper, we discuss the basic philosophy behind adopt...

Equations describing the high-frequency nonlinear behavior of common-emitter and differential-pair transconductance stages are derived. The equations show that transconductance stages using inductive degeneration are more linear than those using capacitive or resistive degeneration, and that the common-emitter transconductance stages are more linear than the differential-pair transconductance s...

Materials and methods Three commercial PMDs were first assessed and then compared during barefoot walking: PMDa and PMDb resistive technology, 1sens/cm – were assessed onsite, while PMDc – capacitive technology, 4sens/cm was tested on-the-bench and on-site [1]. The PMDs were aligned on the floor to capture successive at-regimen steps of the left foot of one trained volunteer; 10 complete steps ...

The interaction of capacitive and resistive nonlinearities in the Chua’s circuit is studied. The original Chua’s circuit is modified by replacing one of the linear capacitors with a nonlinear one to investigate the effects of such an interaction on the chaotic behavior of the circuit. It is found that such an interaction can be effective in limiting and controlling chaos. The Pspice simulation ...

This article details about the design of a K-band RF-MEMS capacitive type shunt switch and some of its major applications. The electrostatic and electromagnetic analyses of the designed structure have been performed using MATLAB and commercially available EM solvers. FEM and MOM both tools have been used extensively for full-wave analysis. Two major applications (SPDT switch and reconfigurable ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to train asthma patients to improve their ability to discriminate added resistive loads. METHODS Training consisted of a task in which patients judged the relative difficulty of breathing through two circuits. Difficulty of breathing through the circuits was varied by addition of resistive loads. We assigned 45 patients randomly to one of three conditi...

A new CMOS active pixel with reset noise reduction capability using capacitive feedback reset (CFR) is proposed. The CFR pixel with capacitive feedback consists of a photodiode, four MOS transistors, a feedback capacitor and a buffer capacitor. It can be fabricated in standard CMOS process, thus yielding a low noise pixel without additional process steps. It has been confirmed with a fabricated...

Operational amplifier (op amp) oscillators can be used to accurately measure resistive and capacitive sensors. Oscillator design can be simplified by using the procedure discussed in this application note. The derivation of the design equations provides a method to select the passive components and determine the influence of each component on the frequency of oscillation. The procedure will be ...

T.H. Jensen Feedback stabilization of the resistive wall mode is usually accomplished by using linear amplifiers. In this paper a study is made of a possibility of controlling resistive wall modes using switches instead of linear amplifiers, i.e., using bang-bang control. The motivation is that bangbang control systems may be cheaper than conventional feedback systems. A distinct disadvantage o...

Nanochannel based devices have been widely used for single-molecule detection. The detection usually relies on the resistive-pulse model, where the change of the monitored current depends on the physical volumetric blocking of the nanochannel by the analyte. However, this mechanism requires that the nanochannel diameter should not be much larger than the analyte size, because, otherwise, the re...
