In the last forty years the semiconductor industry focused on the downscaling process of the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology, trying to follow as much as possible the empirical Moore's Law. In the last five years this trend has be ...
This paper presents a compact- and a macro-model for estimating and simulating the perturbations induced in the substrate by high-voltage transistors switching inductive loads. On one hand, it allows the designer to predict the amount of switching noise ge ...
Single mols. that act as light-energy transducers (e.g., converting the energy of a photon into at.-level mech. motion) are examples of minimal mol. devices. Here, we focus on a mol. switch designed by merging a conformationally locked diarylidene skeleton ...
A magnetic field sensor for measuring a direction of a magnetic field in a plane comprises a sensing structure (4) comprising a ring-shaped well (10), a plurality of contacts (11) of equal size placed at equal distance from each other along the ring-shaped ...
Networks on Chip (NoC) has been proposed as a scalable and reusable solution for interconnecting the ever- growing number of processor/memory cores on a single silicon die. As the hardware complexity of a NoC is significant, methods for designing a NoC wit ...
This paper describes how data collected during a continuously running data acquisition program on the LESO building in Lausanne, Switzerland, was used to measure the intermediate light switch probability by users as a function of current illuminance levels ...
