As seen from the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) [1], the source/drain junction depth is being reduced each year in order to continue MOS transistor scaling. This year, leading-edge foundries and integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) are scheduled to move 65nm processes into pre-production, while simultaneously developing 45nm processes in R&D. In designing and manuf...

An extensive trade study was conducted to evaluate primary mirror substrate design architectures for the HabEx mission baseline 4-meter off-axis telescope. The study’s purpose is not to produce a final design, but rather to established a design methodology for matching the mirror’s properties (mass and stiffness) with the mission’s optical performance specifications (static dynamic wavefront er...

Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem (ULE) (also termed asymmetric periflexural exanthem of childhood APEC) has been linked to viral infection, in particular parvovirus B-19, citomegalovirus and Ebstein Barr virus. Its prevalence is higher during spring and winter, most published reports involve white people. The diagnosis is clinical, the virusological tests, in most of the cases, are negative. ...

We describe the design, construction, and characterization of a medium-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity for simultaneous frequency stabilization of two lasers operating at 960 and 780 nm wavelengths, respectively. The lasers are applied in experiments with ultracold rubidium Rydberg atoms, for which a combined laser linewidth similar to the natural Rydberg linewidth (≈10  kHz) is desired. The cavity,...

This paper presents a technique to monitor the performance of DVB-S/S2 transmission systems at the Link Layer (LL) level using the Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) protocol. The technique is based on the use of extension headers and is validated for different traffic patterns. It has been designed to provide an Operation, Administration and Management (OAM) method for IP-based DVB...
