Soft error rate estimation in deep sub-micron CMOS
Soft errors resulting from the impact of charged particles are emerging as a major issue in the design of reliable circuits at deep sub-micron dimensions. In this paper, we model the sensitivity of individual circuit classes to single event upsets using predictive technology models over a range of CMOS device sizes from 90 nm down to 32 nm. Modeling the relative position of particle strikes as injected current pulses of varying amplitude and fall time, we find that the critical charge for each technology is an almost linear function both of the fall time of the injected current and the supply voltage. This simple relationship will simplify the task of estimating circuit-level soft error rate (SER) and support the development of an efficient SER modeling and optimization tool that might eventually be integrated into a high level language design flow
Wearable Sensor Data Based Human Activity Recognition using Machine Learning: A new approach
Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of human activity
recognition (HAR) based on wearable sensor data. One can find many practical
applications in this area, especially in the field of health care. Many machine
learning algorithms such as Decision Trees, Support Vector Machine, Naive
Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Multilayer Perceptron are successfully used in
HAR. Although these methods are fast and easy for implementation, they still
have some limitations due to poor performance in a number of situations. In
this paper, we propose a novel method based on the ensemble learning to boost
the performance of these machine learning methods for HAR
Morphology and thermal conductivity of model organic aerogels
The intersection volume of two independent 2-level cut Gaussian random fields
is proposed to model the open-cell microstructure of organic aerogels. The
experimentally measured X-ray scattering intensity, surface area and solid
thermal conductivity of both polymeric and colloidal organic aerogels can be
accounted for by the model.Comment: 5 pages. RevTex with 4 encapsulated figures. Higher resolution

Measuring spectrum of spin wave using vortex dynamics
We propose to measure the spectrum of magnetic excitation in magnetic
materials using motion of vortex lattice driven by both ac and dc current in
superconductors. When the motion of vortex lattice is resonant with oscillation
of magnetic moments, the voltage decreases at a given current. From transport
measurement, one can obtain frequency of the magnetic excitation with the wave
number determined by vortex lattice constant. By changing the lattice constant
through applied magnetic fields, one can obtains the spectrum of the magnetic
excitation up to a wave vector of order .Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Microwave-induced nonequilibrium temperature in a suspended carbon nanotube
Antenna-coupled suspended single carbon nanotubes exposed to 108 GHz
microwave radiation are shown to be selectively heated with respect to their
metal contacts. This leads to an increase in the conductance as well as to the
development of a power-dependent DC voltage. The increased conductance stems
from the temperature dependence of tunneling into a one-dimensional electron
system. The DC voltage is interpreted as a thermovoltage, due to the increased
temperature of the electron liquid compared to the equilibrium temperature in
the leads
Spin photocurrent, its spectra dependence, and current-induced spin polarization in an InGaAs/InAlAs two-dimensional electron gas
Converse effect of spin photocurrent and current induced spin polarization
are experimentally demonstrated in the same two-dimensional electron gas system
with Rashba spin splitting. Their consistency with the strength of the Rashba
coupling as measured from beating of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations reveals
a unified picture for the spin photocurrent, current-induced spin polarization
and spin orbit coupling. In addition, the observed spectral inversion of the
spin photocurrent indicates the system with dominating structure inversion
asymmetry.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
