Computer simulation has become increasingly important over the last 50 years for modelling and solving different ideas within science. One area in science that computer simulation and its applications is extensively used is Ion-Atom collisions. There are many different aspects to these collisions but this poster will concentrate on measuring the Triply Differential Cross Section (TDCS) for sing...

The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It uses the C-dump topology in which the trapped energy in the phase windings is returned to the supply capacitor to be used in the following strokes. In addition to the C-dump topology, it uses two extra feedbacks. One comes from a governor mounted on the shaft of motor which contro...

This paper presents the design of a Rotary Traveling Wave Oscillator (RTWO) at 85GHz. The oscillator can be useful in imaging applications. It is implemented in 65nm commercial CMOS technology. The total area of the oscillator is 0.185x0.185 mm. The total power consumption is 25 mA out of 1.5 V supply.

The use of MEMS sensors has been increasing in recent years. To cover all the applications, many different readout circuits are needed. To reduce the cost and time to market, a generic capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) seems to be the logical next step. This work presents a configurable CDC designed for capacitive MEMS sensors. The sensor is built with a bridge of MEMS, where some of them ...

We demonstrate a new concept for analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion based on photonic time stretch. The analog electrical signal is intensity modulated on a chirp optical waveform generated by dispersing an ultrashort pulse. The modulated chirped waveform is dispersed in an optical fiber, leading to the stretching of its envelope. We have derived analytical expressions for the stretch factor an...
