The logic operating voltage is required to suppress for the battery-operated slow application, while the minimum operating voltage of SRAM increase due to the increase in the random threshold-voltage (Vt) fluctuation of the cell transistor (Tr) and the memory capacitance embedded in SoCs with scaling. To suppress the random Vt fluctuation and to guarantee the stable operation over the large memory capacitance at low voltage, a reduced-Vt (LVt) SRAM cell has been proposed. The random Vt fluctuation was suppressed by the proposed LVt cell (Vt=150mV) and increase the static noise margin (SNM) for the data-retention at low voltage compared with conventional higher Vt cell (Vt=300mV). Another unique disturb-free biasing scheme has also been proposed to cancel the substantial trade-off relationship between SNM and the write margin (WRTM) of SRAM cell. With a 45-nm CMOS technology, these proposed techniques improved the SNM over 6-σ random Vt fluctuation with the 0.5-V data-retention voltage and the 0.7-V logic bias voltage. Operating current was reduced by 31% at 32-Kbit SRAM module.

Tinnitus is the perception of phantom sounds in the ears or in the head. Sound therapy techniques for tinnitus have been proposed. To account for mechanisms of tinnitus generation and the clinical effects of sound therapies from the viewpoint of neural engineering, we have proposed a plastic neural network model for the human auditory system. We found that this model has a bistable state, i.e., a stable oscillatory state and a stable equilibrium (non-oscillatory) state coexist at a certain parameter region. We also found that the oscillation can be inhibited by supplying sinusoidal stimulus, which is hypothesized as sound for treatment of tinnitus, to the model. By hypothesizing that the oscillation and the equilibrium correspond to generation and inhibition of tinnitus, respectively, we reported that these phenomena could explain the fact that the habituated human auditory system temporarily halts perception of tinnitus following sound therapy. This paper describes dynamical properties of the model and inhibition of the oscillation for two kinds of noise stimuli which correspond to sound for treatment of tinnitus in clinical. Through numerical simulations we found that adequate noise stimulus can inhibits the oscillation.

A metallic waveguide is one of effective media guiding a millimeter- and submillimeter-wave because of the advantage of low loss. In this paper, trial fabrication of a PTFE-filled rectangular waveguide for millimeter-wave components is attempted with the use of the SR direct etching process, sputter deposition of metal, and electroplating. The fabrication procedure for the PTFE-filled waveguide is described and the measured frequency characteristics of the PTFE-filled waveguide mitered bends are shown.

The shape of a NURBS curve or surface is defined by the location of its control points, the control points' weights, and the knot vectors. Most of the curve and surface design tried to modify the control points. However, it is still impossible to obtained accurate control points for a reconstructed NURBS curve or surface. The fitness of these surfaces is generally considered a subjective notion depending on the judgment of the designers (eg. visually pleasing, devoid of unnecessary bumps or wiggles, satisfying certain continuity requirements). One of the restriction in ship hull design is that the existing details of a ship design on paper or a ship that already been constructed physically couldn't be reconstructed accurately and concisely in a ship hull design software. This research strives to solve this problem by creating fair ship hull surface using NURBS. An optimized NURBS ship hull fitting approach using simulated annealing is developed. Evaluation and analysis (accuracy, fairness and speed of processing) on the proposed approach is done.

This paper summarizes the Volumetric Spatiotemporal Data Model which has been developed to manage surface movement in the Virtual Geographical Information systems (VGIS). Volumetric is one type of spatial object in the VGIS, which is used to develop visualize 3D information. In order to develop real process in VGIS, temporal element is an important issue to integrate with 3D object. Here, we propose one spatiotemporal data model used to manage volumetric surface movement according to movement criteria used in VGIS. Time has been integrated with the data model and temporal version of volumetric surface data can be stored by using the model. This model has been implemented by developing prototype of visualization system using Triangulation Irregular Network (TIN) with integrated time in the TIN structure. Result shows that the data model which has been proposed can work with a visualization algorithm using linear interpolation and improvement TIN structure.
