Crosstalk noise is often induced in long interconnects running parallel to each other. There is a need to minimize the effect of these crosstalk noise so as to maintain the signal integrity in interconnects. In this paper crosstalk noise is minimized using various techniques such as repeater (bidirectional buffer) insertion along with shielding, skewing and shielding & skewing simultaneously. W...

K. T. Faber Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University Evanston, IL 60208 There is experimental evidence that stress-induced microcracking near a macrocrack tip enhances thefraclUre toughness of brittle materials. In considering the interaction of the macrocrack with multiple microcracks using a discrete model, it is essential to use approximation methods in order ...

conclusions comprehensive protection programs with on-the-job training courses for staff members are strongly recommended, as well as, the provision of radiological shields and gonad shielding protocols in radiology departments to reduce the patient’s radiation dose during radiological examinations. materials and methods a retrospective, observational cross-sectional study on the application of...

background: gonad shielding has been recommended during pelvic x-rays since the 1950s. the popular method of gonad shielding is placement a lead shield in the midline of the pelvis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and utility of gonad shielding in pediatrics undergoing pelvic x-rays.materials and methodsfollowing study approval, we retrospectively retrieved data from the di...

results the results showed that the epoxy plates 6 and 2 mm thick had the highest and the lowest averages of shielding effectiveness at 4.48 db and 1.90 db, respectively. however, increasing the thickness was useful up to 4 mm. in addition, in a similar attenuation pattern, x-band frequency was divided into lower, middle, and upper sections. the lower section had the highest shielding effective...

The basic formulations used in the description of thin walls and small apertures in simulations based on the Transmission-Line Modelling (TLM) method are described. It is shown that eecient and accurate methods are available which exhibit a reasonable balance between accuracy and computational eeciency. Results of simulations are presented showing the shielding eeectiveness of cabinets. Of all ...

In manufacturing by machining, thermal loads on cutting tools can have a major influence on tool wear and hence process cost, especially at higher cutting speeds. An investigation has been undertaken to determine heat partition into the cutting tool for high-speed machining of AISI/SAE 4140 high-strength alloy steel with uncoated and TiN-coated tools. The cutting tests have been performed at cu...
