A three-dimensional tip electrode array technology for in- vitro electrophysiological experiments is presented. Based on simulation results obtained with a finite element model of the neuron-electrode interface, it has been shown that the electrical coupli ...

A surface potential-based model for embedded flash memory cells has been developed with the purpose of providing a comprehensive physical understanding of the device operation suitable for performance optimization in memory circuit design. The device equations account for charge balance effects on the isolated floating gate node and parasitic couplings between the terminals of the memory cell. The compact model supports DC, AC and transient analyses, including program/erase bias scalability, drain disturb a

In this study, we propose a new semi-supervised learning (SSL) method that achieves accuracy comparable to FixMatch with a smaller batch size. Our method generates multiple strong augmentations from a single unlabeled data point and applies Mixup regularization to enhance training stability. We also prioritize effective data augmentation algorithms. We evaluated our method by comparing its accuracy and computation time to FixMatch, finding that generating five strong augmentations from a single unlabeled da
