This paper presents an energy efficient successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for low-power applications. To improve the overall energy-efficiency, a skipping-window technique is used to bypass corresponding conversion steps when input falls in window indicated by time-domain comparator, which can provide not only polarity of input, but also amount informatio...

In practice, there are several applications in which logistics service providers determine the time windows at customers, for example, parcel delivery, retail, and repair services. These companies face uncertain travel times that have to be taken into account when determining routes prior departure. The objective of proposed robust vehicle routing problem with window assignments (RVRP-TWA) is s...

Purpose A new research domain known as the Quantified Self has recently emerged and is described gaining self-knowledge through using wearable technology to acquire information on self-monitoring activities physical health related problems. However, very little about impact of time window models discovering self-quantified patterns that can yield insights. This paper aims discover multi-time mo...
