Continuous Detonation Engine is a new concept of a supersonic combustion engine for aerospace. 3D numerical simulation of this engine determines the chemical combustion process and kinetic properties of reactive flow within the combustion chamber. To capture the Chapman-Jouguet detonation phenomenon, the grid size needs to be small than 250. The utilization of this fine grid requires a significant amount of computation workload to depict this combustion. With the help of NVIDIA's CUDA, the computation is discretized and distributed to multiple graphics processing units, which makes the computation time to be reasonable and tolerable. This paper introduces the architecture of NVIDIA's Tesla C1060 card and CUDA, showing the way to map our model into a CUDA programming and the performance of acceleration. It explicates the details of the movement within the engine. The result justifies that continuous detonation engine is a prominent propeller which releases massive impulse. Some problems of CUDA programming and future plan will also be discussed.

The power gating is a technique to reduce leakage power in standby mode by using Sleep switch. In power gating, the circuit suffers the ground bouncing due to the switching of the Sleep Transistor from standby mode to active mode. In this paper, we have presented a four step power gating technique for further reducing the Ground/Power bouncing. This technique not only controls the bouncing but also controls the wake-up time and transition energy overheads in transition period. To control the wakeup time, pre-boosting and post-boosting current technique is applied by using two MOS transistors, limiting the discharge current and voltage swing in noise limiting stage. Application of proposed technique reduces 73% and 20% bounce noise as compared to conventional power gating and three step power gating techniques respectively. Simulations are carried out using 4-bit Ripple Carry Adder as low Vth logic circuit in Cadence Virtuoso simulation environment and UMC 0.18μm technology.

The 3 rd Generation Partnership Project - Long Term Evolution (3GPP-LTE) is the best choice for multimedia data transmission in demanding situation. The 3GPP LTE provides high data transmission rate between the User Equipment (UE) and Evolved Node B (eNB) with lower latency and better throughput. However, with the advancement and increasing traffic of data load, it is necessary to have data scheduling with user requests. In real life situations, mobile users become impatient when they don't receive their desired data. Moreover, the LTE Enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (eMBMS) does not provide any type of scheduling to measure and manage the impatient user request in multimedia broadcasting scenario. So, we consider this situation in our proposed scheme and simulated a new type of hybrid scheduling scheme to overcome this problem. It also takes care of the server anomalies arising from multiple requests sent by the same user for the same data.

Human interest input could greatly enhance the efficiency of the multi-robot exploration. However, most of the previous work did not take the intention of the operator into account. In this paper, a human interest oriented multi-robot exploration system is designed. The system is composed of a mobile base station and several robot explorers. A human interest oriented task allocation method is developed to enable these robot explorers to coordinate based on the operator's intention. Furthermore, an optimization index is proposed to balance the obedience, connectivity and explorability of the system; and the optimization problem is solved to generate the movements of the mobile base station and the robot explorers. Simulations and real-world experiments have demonstrate the effectiveness of the system and the efficiency of the exploration process.

A new ½ dual-injection locked frequency divider (dual-ILFD) with wide locking range and low-power consumption is proposed and developed together with a divide-by-2 current mode logic (CML) divider. ½ CML divider is connected at the output of ½ dual-ILFD for achieving constant output amplitude. The chip was fabricated using a 0.18-µm BiCMOS process. The ½ dual-ILFD enhances the locking range with low-power consumption through optimized load quality factor (Q L ) and output current amplitude (i OSC ) simultaneously, achieving a locking range of 692 MHz between 7.512 and 8.204 GHz, which is almost 10 times larger than a single-injection counterpart. The core of ½ dual-ILFD consumes 2.93 mA with 1.5 V supply.

In this paper, we present a gain-scheduling distributed model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for polytopic uncertain systems subject to actuator saturation. A large-scale system is decomposed into subsystems and sub-controllers are designed independently. An invariant set condition is provided and a min-max distributed MPC strategy is proposed based on the invariant set. The distributed MPC controller is determined by solving a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization problem. An iterative algorithm is provided to coordinate the sub-controllers. A numerical example is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper deals with the synchronization of the measurement instruments cooperating in the distributed measurement system interfaced to the network node by wireless devices, Personal Digital Assistants or PC. The different hardware and software architecture of the wireless devices and PCs delays the triggering of the measurement instruments in unpredictable wide range that introduces a new problem respect to the case the node interfaces are all PCs or all wireless devices. The paper proposes the use of the Embedded Synchronizing Hardware (ESH) as middleware between the node interfaces and the measurement instruments to align the trigger signals. Suitably setting procedure of the ESH is pointed out based on the probability reduction that the unpredictable wide range of the delay occurs. Experimental results validate the suitability of the ESH to reach the sub-μs synchronization accuracy without dependence from the node interface.

Energy is a scarce resource in WANETs (Wireless Ad Hoc Networks) since the nodes are powered by non-renewable batteries. Traditional multicast routing protocols are not energy aware and thus do not take energy conservation into consideration. One approach for energy conservation is to send the messages of a communication session along the routes which minimizes the total sum of the transmitter powers. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is swarm intelligence based method widely used for network routing. The main objective of this paper is to minimize the energy in multicast routing using the ant colony approach. The experimental results are very promising and show that the proposed algorithm is capable of finding minimum energy routes for most of the problems considered which are comparable to the state-of-art algorithms.

Most of research groups have studied on Tunneling Field-Effect Transistors (TFETs) with assumption that there are no gate/source overlap and abrupt source/channel junction. In this work, we study the electrical characteristics of double-gated thin-body TFET with gate/source overlap and no abrupt source/channel junction. From transfer characteristics, hump phenomenon occurring with increasing gate bias is observed. This phenomenon affects the threshold voltage (V TH ), which worsens device matching and also makes it difficult to design logic circuits. The reason why tunneling current is suddenly increased is due to tunneling components in a direction normal to the channel. Theses hump phenomena are not seen in the previous TFET study using unidirectional nonlocal band-to-band tunneling model.
