An FIR filter is implemented in this work. Enhancing the arithmetic operations of the filter is considered. For the addition operation, the signed-digit number system is utilized. For the multiplication operation, Booth-3 algorithm is used to reduce the number of partial products. Then a 1D filter is used to construct a 2D filter that is deployed on real hardware in an image processing application.

Optically monitoring biosensing procedures based on the dynamics of an aqueous solution containing functionalized superparamagnetic beads in the application of the external rotating magnetic field has been developed for a rapid, highly sensitive, and inexpensive bioassay. Typically, the dynamics of micrometer diameter beads is observed by conventional optical microscopes. For greater affinity to biomolecules, there is a demand which necessitates the use of nanometer sized superparamagnetic beads, comparable size to actual biomolecules. However, a limited amount of work for monitoring the dynamics of nanometer sized beads has been performed thus far due to the maximum resolution of microscopes. Here, we propose a novel protocol enabling us monitor the dynamics of nanometer-diameter beads via change in the optical transmittance.

In this paper, a Amplitude Shift-Keying (ASK) transceiver low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) system-on-package (SoP) compact module is presented for 60 GHz wireless communication applications. The transceiver (TRx) module has been designed and implemented in the six-layer LTCC dielectric. The eight GaAs RF integrated circuit (IC) chips for a transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx), one LPF for a detector, a high-isolation via fence, and DC bias components are fully integrated into the single LTCC multi-layer dielectric substrate of the size of 17.8 × 17.9 × 0.6 mm 3 . The Tx part shows an output power of 12.8 dBm at 62.24 GHz. The IF flatness of below -2dBm, conversion gain of 38 dB and recovered eye diagram of the 1.25Gbps pattern are obtained in the Rx part.

This paper presents a PDMS micro through-hole molding method by simple soft lithography process in which the surface of a master mold and a substrate is treated by atmospheric CH 4 /He RF plasma to feature hydrophobic property on the surface. Rectangular and circular-shaped PDMS micro through-hole layers are made by the proposed fabrication method. As one of the applications of the PDMS micro through-hole layer for multi-layered systems, a radial concentration gradient generator including a micro through-hole layer is constructed and its performance is tested. The micro through-holes fabricated by the proposed method are well-defined. The concentration gradients measured in radial directions are in a similar level. Also, the tearing problem, which is often happened in spin-coating and lift-off molding methods, is not observed during the fabrication process of the PDMS micro through-holes. Therefore, we believe that the proposed fabrication method contributes to improve the technology for PDMS through-hole fabrication.

Real time rendering of three-dimensional scenes in Ray Tracing is a hard problem. However, parallel implementations have been enabling real time performance, as the algorithm can be highly parallelized. Thus, a custom parallel design in hardware is likely to achieve a good performance. In this paper, we further improve the GridRT architecture overall performance by embedding the ray-triangle intersection computation into the precessing elements that form the architecture. Low cost and high rendering performance are the main concerns in this novel design. The results show that the execution time of each intersection computation is reduced by at least 50%, while the area cost is practically unchanged or even reduced when compared to the original GridRT implementation.

Effective exploitation of the application-specific parallel patterns and computation operations through their direct implementation in hardware is the base for construction of high-quality application-specific (re-)configurable application specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) and hardware accelerators for modern highly-demanding applications. Although it receives a lot of attention from the researchers and practitioners, a very important problem of hardware reuse in ASIP and accelerator synthesis is clearly underestimated and does not get enough attention in the published research. This paper is an effect of an industry and academic collaborative research. It analyses the problem of hardware sharing, shows its high practical relevance, as well as a big influence of hardware sharing on the major circuit and system parameters, and its importance for the multi-objective optimization and tradeoff exploitation. It also demonstrates that the state-of-the-art synthesis tools do not sufficiently address this problem and gives several guidelines related to enhancement of the hardware reuse.

A new current-mode triangular/square wave generator based on MO-CCCCTAs (Multiple output current controlled current conveyor transconductance amplifiers) is presented in this paper. The circuit description is very simple, its construction consists of 2 MO-CCCCTAs and 1 grounded capacitor without any external resistor. The output frequency and amplitude can be electronically/independently tuned via corresponding input bias currents. With mentioned features, it is very suitable to realize in a monolithic chip. The PSpice simulation results are depicted, and agree well with the theoretical anticipation. The maximum power consumption is approximately 1.62mW at±1.5V power supply.
