In order to achieve operation at terahertz frequency, electronic devices are required to reach the highest possible transit velocity, even if this velocity is limited to a short distance. The concept of ballistic electrons in compound semiconductors was initially reported using GaAs (Shur and Eastman, 1979). In this work, progress in initial research on GaN based ballistic electron acceleration negative-differential-conductivity (BEAN) diodes for potential THz oscillator is reported along with their device concepts

The design of a 10 GHz low pass, low loss, slow-wave CPW periodic filter after Sor et al. was implemented using two Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic (LTCC) dielectric materials (951 and 943 Green Tape™) with gold and silver screen printed and Fodel® photopatterned cofired and post fired conductors. The material tradeoffs are reviewed and the test results compared to circuit simulations performed using SONNETÆ software. Comparisons and discussion of filter performance for the material and patterning variations are made.

Aboard current ships, such as the DDG 51, engineering control and damage control activities are manpower intensive. It is anticipated that, for future combatants, the workload demand arising from operation of systems under conditions of normal steaming and during casualty response will need to be markedly reduced via automated monitoring, autonomous control, and other technology initiatives. Current DDG 51 class ships can be considered as a manpower baseline and under Condition III typical engineering control involves seven to eight watchstanders at manned stations in the Central Control Station, the engine rooms and other machinery spaces. In contrast to this manning level, initiatives such as DD 21 and the integrated engineering plant (IEP) envision a partnership between the operator and the automation system, with more and more of the operator's functions being shifted to the automation system as manning levels decrease. This paper describes some human systems integration studies of workload demand reduction and, consequently, manning reduction that can be achieved due to application of several advanced technology concepts. Advanced system concept studies in relation to workload demand are described and reviewed including. Piecemeal applications of diverse automation and remote control technology concepts to selected high driver tasks in current DDG 51 activities. Development of the reduced ship's crew by virtual presence system that will provide automated monitoring and display to operators of machinery health, compartment conditions, and personnel health. The IEP envisions the machinery control system as a provider of resources that are used by various consumers around the ship. Resource needs and consumer priorities are at all times dependent upon the ship's current mission and the availability of equipment pawnbrokers.

Arrays of cylindrical magnetic particles have been made using interference lithography combined with electrodeposition. The cylinders are made from Ni, Co, CoP, or CoNi, with diameters of 57–180 nm, aspect ratios of 0.4–3, and array periods of 100–200 nm. The remanent states of the cylinders correspond to single-domain “flower” states or to magnetization vortices depending on the particle size and aspect ratio. Experimental data are in good agreement with a magnetic-state map calculated using a three-dimensional micromagnetic model, which shows the remanent state as a function of particle size and aspect ratio. The interactions between the particles, and their switching-field distribution, have been quantified.
An evolutionary programming (EP) approach to designing robust controllers for parametric uncertain systems has been developed. The approach is expedited through the use of an overbounding interval plant representation...
