ABSTRACT: Power consumption has become a critical concern in both high performance and portable applications. Methods for power reduction based on the application of adiabatic techniques to CMOS circuits have recently come under renewed investigation. In thermodynamics, an adiabatic energy transfer through a dissipative medium is one in which losses are made arbitrarily small by causing the tra...

The dynamic power requirement of CMOS circuits is rapidly becoming a major concern in the design of personal information systems and large computers. Battery operated portable computers and wireless communication products have often been used. Thus low power integrated circuit design has been strongly demanded for implementation. One of the promising techniques of low power design is adiabatic ...

Non-adiabatic decay rates for a radio-frequency dressed magnetic trap are calculated using Fermi’s Golden Rule: that is, we examine the probability for a single atom to make transitions out of the dressed trap and into a continuum in the adiabatic limit, where perturbation theory can be applied. This approach can be compared to the semi-classical Landau-Zener theory of a resonant dressed atom t...

Adiabatic vacuum states are a well-known class of physical states for linear quantum fields on Robertson-Walker spacetimes. We extend the definition of adiabatic vacua to general spacetime manifolds by using the notion of the Sobolev wavefront set. This definition is also applicable to interacting field theories. Hadamard states form a special subclass of the adiabatic vacua. We analyze physica...

This paper presents an analysis of a Curzon and Alhborn thermal engine model where both internal irreversibilities and non-instantaneous adiabatic branches are considered, operating with maximum ecological function and maximum power output regimes. Its thermodynamic properties are shown, and an analysis of its local dynamic stability is performed. The results derived are compared throughout the...

Thermal ions in spherical tokamaks have two adiabatic invariants: the magnetic moment and the longitudinal invariant. For hot ions, variations in magnetic-field strength over a gyro period can become sufficiently large to cause breakdown of the adiabatic invariance. The magnetic moment is more sensitive to perturbations than the longitudinal invariant and there exists an intermediate regime, su...

We present a general approach to the modelling of the brightness and polarization structures of adiabatic, decelerating relativistic jets, based on the formalism of Matthews & Scheuer (1990). We compare the predictions of adiabatic jet models with deep, high-resolution observations of the radio jets in the FR I radio galaxy 3C 31. Adiabatic models require coupling between the variations of velo...

Adiabatic vacua are known to be Hadamard states. We show, however that the energy-momentum tensor of a linear Klein-Gordon field on Robertson-Walker spaces developes a generic singularity on the initial hypersurface if the adiabatic vacuum is of order less than four. Therefore, adiabatic vacua are physically reasonable only if their order is at least four. A certain non-local large momentum exp...

The Energy dissipation in conventional CMOS circuits can be minimized through adiabatic technique. By adiabatic technique dissipation in PMOS network can be minimized and some of energy stored at load capacitance can be recycled instead of dissipated as heat. But the adiabatic technique is highly dependent on parameter variation. The intension of the paper is to implement combinational and sequ...
