Effective designs rarely emerge from good structural design or aesthetics alone. It is more often the result of the end product's overall design integrity. Added to this, design is inherently an interdisciplinary collaborative activity. With this in mind, today's tools are not powerful enough to design complex physical environments, such as command control centers or hospital operating theaters. This...
FPGAs have become complex, heterogeneous platforms targeting a multitude of different applications. Understanding how a design maps to them and consumes various FPGA resources can be difficult to predict, so typically designers are forced to run full synthesis on each iteration of the design. For complex designs that involve many iterations and optimizations, the run-time of synthesis can be quite...
Traditional design and test of complex multimedia systems involves a large number of test vectors and is a difficult and time-consuming task. The simulation times are prohibitively long on current desktop computers. Driving actual design scenarios and timing burst behavior which produce real-time effects is difficult to do with current simulation environments. This paper describes a rapid emulation...
Drugs are routinely combined in anesthesia and pain management to obtain an enhancement of the desired effects. However, a parallel enhancement of the undesired effects might take place as well, resulting in a limited therapeutic usefulness. Therefore, when addressing the question of optimal drug combinations, side effects must be taken into account. We propose a new method to study drug interactions...
A novel structure for an InP-based heterojunction bipolar transistor is proposed and demonstrated which not only provides technological advantages over conventional structures but is also particularly suited for high-frequency applications due to the inherent reduction of parasitic time constants. The main structural feature of this transistor is an embedded rather than a mesa type collector which...
A standard set of distribution automation protocols must be defined to eliminate system incompatabilities. Present protocols are usually based on one of the many outdated SCADA protocols. This paper describes a communications interface for use in power distribution systems apparatus control and coordination in terms of the ISO-OSI reference model. An automated distribution control and communication...
