This study reported an integrated microfluidic system for automating multiplex detection of allergy microarrays. Allergy has become a common disease worldwide. However, detection for allergy on microarrays requires tedious manual operation, well-trained technicians and a relatively labor-intensive process. In this study, an integrated microfluidic system combining the microfluidic techniques and the...
Traditional trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs) are generally equipped with diesel engines as single power source. The diesel engines must be sized to cater for the maximum power demand, so they are significantly oversized most of the time. To solve this problem, an optimal retrofitting concept is proposed for matching main power equipments in hybrid propulsion system for a TSHD. The nondominated...
The purpose of this paper is to embed information on codes when using search-order coding (SOC) to compress index table. The proposed method reassigned the shorter indicators to the indices that can be transformed to SOC codes and those that can not be transformed are assigned by the other indicators. If the cover image is a smooth image, the proposed method can significantly reduce the size of compression...
This paper introduces a memory efficient architecture for belief propagation based disparity estimation. To find the bottleneck of the memory, a lifetime analysis of the exchanged message is presented. The analysis leads to architecture which can take advantage of the data characteristics resulting in memory reduction, computing resource and memory access. In the experimental result, the proposed...
With the development and popularity of Lithium battery powered PEVs (Pure Electric Vehicles), BMS (Battery Management System) with equalization techniques become a key issue in high performance PEV design. This paper introduces a linear regression based real-time State of Charge calculation method through a second-order RC model of Lithium batteries. Then a fuzzy control method is adopted to balance...
As system-on-chip (SoC) becomes prevalent in the intelligent system applications, the reliability issue of SoC is getting more attention in the design industry. But due to the circuit complexity, the high pin counts and ever increasing operating frequencies, System-on -Chip (SoC) devices drive the most challenging requirements for failure localization and mechanism analysis. PEM (Photon Emission Microscopy)...
A new gate driven 3.3V ESD clamp circuit using 1.8V transistor is proposed. This new clamp circuit is suitable for ESD protection of legacy 3.3V I/O interface circuit in SOC chips which use only 1.8V I/O transistors. This clamp along with 3.3V I/O have been demonstrated in 40nm 1.8V process. Life-time test can pass 1000-hours prolonged operation. ESD/Latch-up can pass HBM 3KV, MM 300V, and +/-200mA...
Cardiovascular disease remains the main cause of death, and great efforts are spent on the design of ECG body sensors these years. Essential components such as analog frontend and wireless transceivers have been integrated on a compact IC with micro-Watt power consumption. To provide timely warning against the fatal vascular signs, based on the Chaotic Phase Space Differential (CPSD) algorithm, on-sensor...
With the growing needs for advanced functionalities in modern embedded systems, it is now necessary to integrate multiple processors in the system, preferably on a single chip, to support the required computing complexity. The problem is that such multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) architecture is very complex and its internal behavior is very difficult to track. An effective tool for profiling...
A 24 GHz low-power CMOS RF receivers for indoor wireless application is developed in this paper. This paper presents a novel approach to integrate the RF front-end circuits, and realizes the manufacture of SoC (System on a Chip) design. The proposed RF IC includes a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a down-conversion mixer, a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a variable gain amplifier (VGA). For the...
