The defense advancedresearch Project Agency (dArPA), in conjunction with the U.S. Navy, initiated a research program for the design and construction of a distinctive warship for the 21st century known as the Arsenal Ship. By using an innovative development and acquisition approach it was hoped to streamline the procurement process andreduce costs. In an environment where budgets are being cut, both industry and Government were challenged to develop, design, and produce the innovative ship andrelated mission systems to meet specific performance capabilities within strict affordability constraints. A key element of this innovative acquisition approach was a new certification scheme designed to replace the traditional test and evaluation (T&E) and acceptance process. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of the certification plan during Phase LI of the Arsenal Ship program by the American Bureau of Shipping and the contending Shipyard teams, and to discuss the potential benefits of this alternative certification approach. Although the Arsenal Ship program was canceled late in 1997, insight derived from the exploration of new certification concepts could benefit future design and building programs.

This paper presents a new low-power on-chip voltage reference less sensitive to the process variation in an 0.5 /spl mu/m drAM process where neitherreliable BJT nordepletion MOS are available. The proposed voltage reference uses the MOS threshold voltage and a PTAT (proportional to the absolute temperature) voltage generated only from MOS transistors, and achieves considerably good performance at the total current of less than 8 /spl mu/A with an external power supply voltage ranging from 2.8 to 4 V. The measured temperature coefficient is about 360 ppm//spl deg/C at temperatures ranging from 0/spl deg/C to 100/spl deg/C. In addition, an optimization technique is proposed to find a set of optimal parameters in designing circuits.

We have investigated the surface recombination and its 1/f noise properties of AlGaAs/GaAs HBT's as a function of the emitter-base structure and the surface passivation condition. It is found that the surface recombination 1/f noise can be significantly reduced by the heterojunction launcher of the abrupt junction with 30% Al mole fraction emitter. The depleted AlGaAs ledge surface passivation further suppresses the surface recombination currents. Consequently, we have achieved a very low 1/f noise corner frequency of 2.8 kHz at the collector current density of 10 kA/cm/sup 2/. The dominant noise source of the HBT is not a surface recombination current, but a bulk current noise. This is the lowest 1/f noise corner frequency among the III-V compound semiconductordevices, and comparable to those of low-noise Si BJTs.

Enhanced efficiency and stabilized beam-power generation were proved for a high-brightness Mw-based 500-W Nd:YAG rod laser by compensation of the thermally induced bifocusing of the Nd:YAG rod. Maximum laser power of 500 W cw was obtained at lamp input power of 18.4 kW, with beam quality M(2) = 19 Or omega theta (radius x, the half-angle of divergence) = 6.4 mm mrad and power fluctuation of less than 1%.

High-power lasers with laser power over 100-W are becoming essential tools in manufacturing. For this application field, high brightness lasers are demanded for high-quality materials processing. In this paper, the mechanism has been analyzed for a Nd:YAG rod laserrelated to the thermal lensing variation in the rod and a solution is proposed.

In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate the minimum breakdown voltages of surface flashovers initiated from the triple junction at which a solid insulator, SF6 gas, and a metal electrode come in contact. Using four kinds of test samples, the flashover voltages V-f are measured. The voltages V-f become lower than the theoretical voltages V-s of streamer inception in the case of the test sample with the large electrode area at the triple junction. To understand the phenomena quantitatively, we estimated the real partial discharge voltages V-c from the voltages V-f, and investigated the relationship between the voltages V-c and the theoretical values V-s. The values of V-s/V-c, which characterize the properties of the partial discharges, can be shown by the product lambda S(90%)E(av)P of the following parameters: (1) coefficient lambda representing the surface roughness of electrode at the triple junction;(2) effective area S-90% of the electrode;(3) average field E(av) at the area S-90%;and (4) gas pressure p. The minimum surface flashover voltages in the insulators for coaxial electrode systems can be estimated precisely, considering the properties of V-s/V-c.

The hole drift mobilities in polysilanes with diverse substituents anddifferent molecular weights have been measured by the conventional time-of-flight technique. depending on the kind of substituents, hole drift mobilities varied by more than one order of magnitude; poly(?henyltrimethyldisilane) gave the highest room temperature hole drift mobility, 6·0 × 10−4cm2V−1s−1at a field of 2 × 105V cm−1, of all the polysilanes reported so *** electric field and temperature dependences of the hole drift mobilities in polysilanes were analysed in the framework of Gill's expression and Bässler's consideration. Polysilanes with an aromatic side group exhibited a zero-field activation energyE0ofca.0·35 eV compared toE0= 0·22-0·26 eV obtained for polysilanes with non-aromatic groups, while poly(phenyltrimethyldisilane), with one aromatic side group at every two Si atoms, manifestedE0= 0·26 eV, a value which may be categorized in the latter group with non-aromatic substituents. The effects of the substituents on drift mobility are furtherdiscussed in terms of the disorder in the energy and position of the hopping sites in the particular polysilanes.

In this paper, a new type of PWM series resonant converter is proposed. One pole of the proposed converter is switching at zero-current and the other is switching at zero-voltage. By introducing an auxiliary inductor, zero-voltage switching is possible even at no load. The proposed converter is suitable for a high-voltage dC/dC converter because the voltage stresses of switching devices are minimized.< >

In this article we report theoretical as well as experimental studies of the electric-field-inducedrefractive index change in InGaAs/InP quantum-well structures, viz., quantum-film, quantum-wire, and quantum-box structures. The refractive index change, easily measured using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup, was around 1%, 4%, and 7% in quantum film, quantum wire, and quantum box, respectively, in the longer-wavelength region corresponding to the positive refractive index change peak. Moreover, we will discuss that the refractive index change dependency on the polarization of incident light in a quantum film can be controlled by introducing suitable tensile strain in it. It was found that for a well width of II nm, 0.3% tensile strain should be induced to obtain polarization-independent refractive index change. (C) 1994 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
