The frequency-dependent characteristics of microstrip planar circuits have been previously analyzed using several full-wave approaches. All those methods directly give characteristic of the circuits frequency by frequency. Computation time becomes important if these planar circuits have to be studied over a very large bandwidth. The transmission line matrix (TLM) method presented in this paper ...

Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) was pioneered in the early 1970s as an approach to treat laryngeal pathology with precision and minimal thermal damage to the vocal cords. Over the last four decades, TLM has become an integral part of the treatment paradigm for patients with laryngeal cancer. TLM is one of the primary treatment options for early-stage laryngeal tumors. However, in recent year...

P-type Ti/Al-based contact vias of different sizes but identical processing were electrically characterized using linear transfer length method (TLM) patterns and metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors. While the TLM MOS transistors with large follow ohmic behavior, Schottky properties observed for smaller via dimensions. Focused ion beam (FIB) analysis verified presence Ti 3 SiC 2 on 66 μ...

This paper presents a capillary-to-microchip connection, which can be used as an interface for coupling capillary electrophoresis (CE) with a thermal lens microscope (TLM). It is difficult to directly apply TLM to samples in a capillary with a curved surface, and such an interface chip at the end of a CE separation column is needed for reliable TLM measurements. The dependence of the TLM signal...

─While Transaction Level Modeling (TLM) approach is widely adopted now for system modeling and simulation speed improvement, timing estimation accuracy often is compromised. To have reliable and accurate estimation results at system level, this paper proposes a timing annotation method for accurate TLM computation model generation considering processor architecture with pipeline and cache struc...

This paper presents a 3D transmission line matrix (TLM) implementation for the solution of transient heat flow in power devices. The miniaturization of electronic networks creates problems of heat dissipation. Good thermal management is therefore essential. Simulating power electronic systems presents peculiar challenges due to the need of detailed modeling of both circuitry and control algorit...

The replacement of the traditional tin-lead solder to interconnect solar cells by using electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) has been under study for decades. Proof concept demonstrated shingling technology among other applications. However, long-term stability such innovative interconnection approaches needs further research. In this work, we extrapolate figure merit known as contact resis...

Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction / Thermal Lens Microscopy (DLLME/TLM) was developed as a new combination method for preconcentration and determination of Cd. Thermal Lens Microscopy is suitable for the determination of analyte after DLLME because of the low volume of the remained phase after DLLME and increasing of the enhancement factor for the nonpolar organic solvents. Some effe...
