Active probes for 2-port on-wafer network analysis within 70-230 GHz are presented. The probe contains an integrated circuit, based on nonlinear transmission lines (NLTL), which has all elements of an S-parameter test set. 2-port measurements with these active probes were carried out. Compared to earlier active probe systems, measurement accuracy is greatly improved.

In order to apply the Cohen's class Time-Frequency (TF) analysis using a novel kernel to the blood flow signal analysis, we investigated a higher resolution kernel for the ultrasound Doppler sinusoidal shift signal. We used three kinds of kernel, the Wigner distribution, the Choi-Williams distribution (CWD), and our new figure eight kernel (FED). The results show that the demodulation accuracy with FED is higher and the negative components are smaller than the CWD.

Jackal is a Java-based tool for communication using the KQML agent communication language. Some features that make it extremely valuable to agent development are its conversation management facilities, flexible, blackboard style interface and ease of integration. Jackal has been developed in support of an investigation of the use of agents in enterprise-wide integration of planning and execution for manufacturing. This paper describes Jackal at a surface and design level, and demonstrates its use in a multiagent system that supports intelligent integration of enterprise planning and execution.

In bulk form, Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ is a promising thermoelectric material for high temperature applications. In this paper, we report results from an experimental study as well as theoretical modeling of the quantum confinement effect on the enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit. The experimental results provide demonstration of proof of principle for the theoretical model which predicts a large enhancement in the thermoelectric figure of merit for superlattice quantum wells with small widths. Thermoelectric transport properties are measured as a function of temperature. An enhancement of S/sup 2/n within the quantum well over the bulk value is observed experimentally, where S is the Seebeck coefficient and n is the carrier density.

Recent advances in our understanding of 1D and 2D thermoelectric materials in the form of quantum wires (1D) and quantum wells (2D) are reviewed, with emphasis given to the physical mechanisms responsible for the enhanced thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in these low dimensional systems. Starting with 2D superlattices, progress in demonstrating proof-of-principle in the PbTe/Pb/sub 1-x/Eu/sub x/Te and Si/Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ systems is presented. The concept of carrier pocket engineering regarding improved thermoelectric performance for the whole superlattice Z/sub 3D/T, including both the quantum well and the barrier region, is reviewed. Particular attention is given to recent results obtained for 1D bismuth nanowire arrays and for individual Bi nanowires.
