Double-gate FinFETs have proved to be a promising alternative for deep sub-micron bulk CMOS. In this paper, we have investigated the feasibility of FinFET transistors in asynchronous design which has gained much attention for its advantages such as absence of clock distribution, process variation aware performance, and robustness. Excellent short-channel characteristic, low leakage power, threshold voltage control and the potential of designing area-efficient circuits are the motivation to employ FinFET transistor in asynchronous circuit design. We have designed three novel FinFET-based asynchronous static C-elements which differ in front gate and back gate connections. They are evaluated in terms of leakage and dynamic power, area, and delay characteristics and compared against bulk CMOS C-element in 32nm technology. With technology scaling, vulnerability of combinational logic to soft errors exponentially increases. In this paper we also examine these C-elements nodes sensitivity against soft errors and propose a robust logic. We show that our proposed robustness method increases robustness of the most sensitive node in Shorted gate (SG) and Low power (LP) C-elements 60 times. A dual rail Muller pipeline has been designed with each kind to evaluate our C-elements and compare them to bulk MOSFET pipeline. Compared to SG, simulation results show that Independent gate (IG) and LP modes are most efficient in area and leakage power respectively and in terms of robustness SG and LP modes show better robustness than IG mode.

Recent research in brain-machine interfaces and devices to treat neurological disease indicate that important network activity exists at temporal and spatial scales beyond the resolution of existing implantable devices. High density, active electrode arrays hold great promise in enabling high-resolution interface with the brain to access and influence this network activity. Integrating flexible electronic devices directly at the neural interface can enable thousands of multiplexed electrodes to be connected using many fewer wires. Active electrode arrays have been demonstrated using flexible, inorganic silicon transistors. However, these approaches may be limited in their ability to be cost-effectively scaled to large array sizes (8×8 cm). Here we show amplifiers built using flexible organic transistors with sufficient performance for neural signal recording. We also demonstrate a pathway for a fully integrated, amplified and multiplexed electrode array built from these devices.
Robust control problems for nonlinear systems are usually formulated as L2-induced norm minimization problems and it is known that those problems are reduced to the solvability of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. However, i...

A sixteen-channel linear phased array radar is calibrated by means of Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Limited data are used to train the various layers of the network, for Angle of Arrival (AOA) determinacy. This is designed to increase speed of operation and to prevent over fitting. The designed simulator generates time-series data sets representing continuous span of AOA. The generated data-sets are used in multilayer feed-forward NNs to find the phase, which is then used as inputs to Spiking Neural Network (SNN) o determine AOA. SNNs are used for hardware implementation feasibility. The designed simulator improved the accuracy of AOA determination, and opens the door for a wide variety of radar classification applications.
A problem of assessing stability of retarded dynamical networks is solved in this paper. Subsystems are assumed to be integral input-to-state stable (iISS). Time-delays are allowed to reside in both subsystems and int...

We create a spiking neural network of Integrate and Fire neurons with spike frequency adaption based on parameters adjusted for our e-nose device, and investigate the use of this model for odor classification. Addition of spike frequency adaptation term brings the model closer to the response of the olfactory system. Data from Cyranose 320, a polymer based 32-sensor array, is used to test the system and create unique dynamic spiking patterns. The results for four analytes are presented.
This paper gives a solution to the problem of verifying stability of networks consisting of integral input-to-state stable (iISS) subsystems. The iISS small-gain theorem developed recently has been restricted to inter...
