The conventional capacitorless DRAM cell with single charge generating effect is either high speed or low power, while the proposed DG-FinFET (double-gate fin field effect transistor) cell employs the efficient integration of impact ionization and GIDL effects by coupling the front and back gates with optimal body doping profile and proper bias conditions, yielding high speed low power performance. The simulation results demonstrate ideal characteristics in both cell operations and power consumption. Low power consumption is achieved by using GIDL current at 0. luA when the coupling between the front and back gates restrains the impact ionization current in the first phase. The write operation of the cell is within Ins attributed to significant current of the impact ionization effect in the second phase. By shortening second phase, power consumption could be further decreased. The ratio of read "1" and read "0" current is more than 9.38E5. Moreover, the cell has great retention characteristics.展开更多

Because of the motion un- certainty at singular points, while the manipulator traverses this kind of hypersurface from one singularity-free region to another, its motion cannot be predetermined. In this paper, a detailed approach for the manipulator to traverse the singularity hypersurface with its non-persistent configuration is presented. First, the singular point transfer disturbance and the pose disturbance, which make the perturbed singular point transfer horizontally and vertically, respectively, are constructed. Through applying these disturbances into the input parameters within the maximum loss control domain, the perturbed persistent configuration is transformed into its corresponding non-persistent one. Under the action of the disturbances, the manipulator can traverse the singularity hypersurface from one singularity-flee region to another with a desired configuration.展开更多

Of many results published, all were achieved on 3-stage Clos network. The monotone routing algorithm proposed by Hu et al.(2001) was also first applied to 3-stage Clos network. In this work, we adopt this algorithm and apply it to logd(N,m,p) networks. We first analyze the properties of logd(N,m,p) networks. Then we use monotone algorithm in logd(N,0,p) network. Furthermore we extend the result to construct multirate rearrangeable networks based on logd(N,m,p) network (1≤m≤n?1).展开更多

A well connected roadmap can be obtained and stored in the 6 dimension task space for a specific 6 DOF parallel manipulator in this way and a singularity-free path is queried to connect the start pose and the goal pose. So the singularity-free path planning between any two given poses for this parallel manipulator can be performed very efficiently. This singularity-free path planning method can be used with any type of parallel manipulator only if the matrix used can be given to define singularities.展开更多

A scheduling problem domain was described. A non-linear mathematical programming model was also set up with an objective function of minimizing total weighted earliness-tardlness penalties of the system. On the basis of the mathematical model, IGA was put forward. Based on the genetic algorithm (GA), the proposed algorithm (IGA) can generate feasible solutions and ensure the diversity of antibodies. In the process of immunization programming, to guarantee the algorithm's convergence performance, the modified rule of apparent tardiness cost with setups (ATCS) was presented. Finally, simulation experiments were designed, and the results indicated that the algorithm had good adaptability when the values of the constraints' characteristic parameters were changed and it verified the validity of the algorithm.展开更多

A computer program was development in order to implement the model. An irregular grid of cells was used. A susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) scheme was represented. Stochasticity was generated by Monte Carlo method. Dynamics of model was explored by numerical simulations. Model achieves to represent the typical SIR prevalence curve.

Diff...An experimental procedure is conducted to investigate the mechanism of the non-monotonic characteristic between curing temperature and mechanical behaviors of the Kevlar/epoxy composite in macro and micro levels. Different specimens are fabricated at four different curing temperatures and tested with ±45° off-axis tensile loading on a universal test machine coupled with digital image correlation(DIC). Moreover, the environmental scanning electron microscope(SEM) was used to obtain the micrographs and reveal their mechanism. The tested results show that the tensile mechanical behaviors are sensitive to the curing temperature and the relationship is non-monotonic. Also, as the temperature increases, the thicknesses of the specimens are significantly enlarged. By analyzing the SEM micrographs of the matrix grooves in the damage zone and DIC strain contours, it is concluded that the non-monotonic relationship is dominated by the properties of the Kevlar/epoxy interfaces and deformation of the distorted fibers.展开更多
