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.

This paper presents a fully complex-valued functional link network (CFLN). The CFLN is a single-layered neural network, which introduces nonlinearity in the input layer using nonlinear functions of the original input variables. In this study, we consider multivariate polynomials as the nonlinear functions. Unlike multilayer neural networks, the CFLN is free from local minima problem, and it offers very fast learning in parameters because of its linear structure. In the complex domain, polynomial based CFLN has an additional advantage of not requiring activation functions, which is a major concern in the complex-valued neural networks. However, it is important to select a smaller subset of polynomial terms (monomials) for faster and better performance, since the number of all possible monomials may be quite large. In this paper, we use the orthogonal least squares method in a constructive fashion (starting from lower degree to higher) for the selection of a parsimonious subset of monomials. Simulation results demonstrate that computing CFLN in purely complex domain is advantageous than in double-dimensional real domain, in terms of number of connection parameters, faster design, and possibly generalization performance. Moreover, our proposed CFLN compares favorably with several other multilayer networks in the complex domain.

In this study a data acquisition card has been designed and implemented to observe and analysis of the voltages and the currents of an alternator under resistive, capacitive and inductive loads. Detail analysis of power, power factor, phase angles and harmonics of the alternator has been done using software written in LabVIEW. The measurement system of voltage and current is opened to remote access. Users can access to the system from any computer having internet connection and make the instantaneous measurements. The experimental results show that the data obtained from power analyzer are very close to remote monitored one. Therefore the system developed can be a useful tool for engineering education purposes as an online course material, a simulator and an online control experiment.

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.

This paper presents the results of the application of a FDTD technique to determinate the return loss parameter of two printed multi-band antennas. The impedance characterization of wide-band printed antennas with lossy substrates is introduced by means of an approach based on FDTD method and the WP-PML absorbing boundary condition. It was used a simple voltage source model where an excitation plane with an Gaussian vertical electrical field was imposed to a rectangular area just below the structure to be analyzed. Preliminary results obtained for the return loss of MIMO multi-band antennas are compared to those determined from other FDTD-based methods available in the scientific literature in order to show the applicability of the methodology that has been developed herein. The results obtained for return loss parameter showed good agreements between the technique proposed by this work and the results previous done.

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.

Step-graded InGaP_ySb_(1-y) and In_xGa_(1-x)As metamorphic buffer layer (MBL) structures are grown on GaAs substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). AFM analysis indicates that graded group V InGaP_ySb_(1-y) MBLs exhibit significantly lower surface roughness (~4.7nm) compared with more conventional graded group III In_xGa_(1-x)As MBLs, which typically have rms surface roughness in the range of 7-14nm. To reduce the surface roughness of the In_xGa_(1-x)As MBL, a post growth Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) procedure is implemented. AFM image analysis indicates the CMP process is effective in reducing the step-graded In_xGa_(1-x)As MBL surface roughness from ~7.3 nm (as-grown) to 2.3 nm post CMP. Preliminary studies indicate that bulk InGaAs layers regrown on top of the MBL subjected to CMP exhibit improved static and transient PL characteristics compared with those deposited on as-grown MBLs.
