Three novel CMOS capacitance scaling schemes, a comparison between them and some different classic schemes are presented. The novel topologies which use a modified second generation current conveyor, an improved current mirror and a current steering configuration of OTA provide higher values of Q and better frequency responses than the classical structures using basic current mirror schemes, as the simple current mirror and two different cascode current mirrors. Simulation results for the six different studied schemes are presented.

In this paper, we propose a multi-layered adaptive load management (ALM) system capable of integrating large-scale demand response efficiently and reliably. At the tertiary layer, the system/market operator utilizes demand bid curves provided by the load aggregators on behalf of the end-users they serve. This information is processed by the system/market operator together with the bid curves provided by the generators. The information is further used to estimate electricity price and send it to load aggregators. Similarly, at the secondary layer, the load aggregators utilize the demand curves provided to them by the individual end-users. Based on the end-users' requests and the estimated electricity price given by the system/market operator, load aggregators create aggregate demand curves on behalf of all their users, and share them with both the system operator and their own customers. Finally, at the primary layer, individual end-users create their own demand functions while taking into consideration their own needs and preferences. They provide this information to their load aggregator. The proposed ALM system is best implemented online. In this paper, we provide a basic formulation of the multi-layered multi-directional decision making and information exchange in support of the ALM system. We illustrate this process using simple simulations. The proposed ALM can be used to implement demand response for different industry rules, such as fixed rate, time-of-use, and real-time pricing.

A tunable CMOS transconductor is presented. Input rail-to-rail operation is achieved using floating-gate MOS (FGMOS) transistors. Tuning is also obtained using FGMOS transistors, which are biased in weak or moderate inversion to achieve precise output current scaling. A technique to set the proper transconductance value independently of process or temperature variations is also included. Measurement and simulation results using a 0.5um CMOS technology are presented to confirm all the circuits and strategies proposed.

engineering excellence serves as one of the primary vehicles for technological innovation, economic prosperity, national security, and advancements in public health. To address engineering preparation and appeal, technical education programs have emerged that provide hands-on, project-based curricula that focus on the integration of mathematics and science knowledge with engineering activities. Learning Sciences research emphasizes that integration of conceptual knowledge must be made explicit to learners to promote successful transfer of these ideas to novel problem-solving and design contexts. In this study, we analyze the second foundation course in the Project Lead the Way™ sequence, Principles of engineering ™. We found that while a significant portion of the instructors' time was spent on class management tasks, such as collecting worksheets and taking roll (non-instructional time), lecturing and tutoring took up the bulk of the class time. Only a small amount of time in class was spent on non-interactions between the instructor and students. Second, a greater proportion of the total instruction time was devoted to concepts than skills;moreover most concept instruction co-occurred with skills instruction. Lastly, over one third of the instruction linked mathematics skills and concepts to engineering skills and concepts. Explicit connections were made more often than implicit connections, though, occasionally, no connections were made between the mathematics being discussed and the engineering activity that was the focus of the lesson. These analyses show greater presence of concepts, and more frequent explicit conceptual connections between math and engineering than observed in earlier analyses of Introduction to engineering™, the first course in the Project Lead the Way™ program. Thus, our observations of the Principles of engineering™ courses show several ways in which instruction may provide stronger support for learning, engagement and transfer than was ev

Turning is one of the most important maneuvers for biological and robotic fish. In our group's prior work, an analytical framework was proposed for modeling the steady turning of fish, given asymmetric, periodic body/tail movement or deformation. However, the approach was not illustrated with simulation or validated with experiments. The contributions of the current paper are three fold. First, an extension to the modeling framework is made with a more rigorous formulation of the force balance equation. Second, we have worked out two examples explicitly, one with an oscillating, rigid tail, and the other with a flexible tail having a uniform curvature, and compared their turning behaviors through numerical results. Third, for model validation purposes, a robotic fish prototype has been developed, with the tail shaft controlled precisely by a servo motor. For a rigid tail, experimental results have confirmed the model prediction that, for the tested range, the steady-state turning radius and turning period decrease with an increasing bias in the tail motion, and that the turning period drops with an increasing tail beat frequency. We have also found that, with a flexible fin attached to the tail shaft, the robot can achieve faster turning with a smaller radius than the case of a rigid fin, and modeling within the same framework is underway to understand this phenomenon.
