A thinner gate oxide gives a higher substrate current, but reduced hot electron effects. This is because the thin-gate-oxide device has smaller mobility and threshold voltage degradation due to a shift of damaged interface region towards the drain contact. In this work, the analytical substrate and drain current model has been derived. The model predictions have good agreement with the experimental data for submicron MOSFETs with different oxide thicknesses.","PeriodicalId":199600,"journal":{"name":"Southcon/96 Conference Record","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129886162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the lack of fully developed laboratory, undergraduate courses currently at NCA&T do not provide in depth education on ADCI technologies. To meet the need for students skilled in ADCI, the ADCI Laboratory was founded by the Undergraduate Education Grant from the National Science Foundation. The purpose of this laboratory is to familiarize students with the ADCI technologies so that they can integrate these technologies into manufacturing or other industrial applications. The first year implementation results of the ADCI Laboratory are presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":199600,"journal":{"name":"Southcon/96 Conference Record","volume":"279 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133488589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether the project is focused on PC board design or large scale facility design, properly applying EMC basic practices as early as possible will minimize the costs and issues associated with having to address EMC after the project has been completed. Numerous cases have shown that EMC field problems are primarily attributed to the lack of attention to basic EMC practices during initial design. In may cases the EMC practices have been misapplied or neglected all together. This paper covers some practices associated with basic EMC facility design. These basic practices include grounding, cable management, and cable terminations.","PeriodicalId":199600,"journal":{"name":"Southcon/96 Conference Record","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128585460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Image restoration and enhancement is concerned with the reconstruction of image data from a signal which has been degraded by noise or artifacts. As subset of this category, image exploitation and analysis seeks to enhance the features of an image that convey some critical information to the observer. In both cases, the result is generally intended for human consumption. Image warping is an image processing function that is useful for many applications crossing the boundaries between image enhancement and computer vision. Image warping is a spatial transformation, meaning that the two dimensional coordinates of an image are transformed or mapped by a warping operation to a new set of image coordinates. A simple example is image translation.","PeriodicalId":199600,"journal":{"name":"Southcon/96 Conference Record","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134507446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scigliano, Levin, and Horne (1995) reported the effort to improve interaction on the NSU distance learning network through some of these new Web tools (e.g. hypertext markup language or HTML). Faculty and students are now authoring with HTML extensively thus developing a nonlinear knowledge base that resides on the NSU server and which facilitates collaborative learning and research. But the very nature of such a collaborative learning environment is that it is not centralized and we see this in the way the Internet is evolving and structured today. Consequently, the multimedia research group formed a special project team to investigate the possibility of distributing the learning environment under a concept known as \"server-at-home\". This paper reviews the problems and vision that led to the establishment of the project team and how some preliminary results from them spawned an environment of computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) which is being applied in other related research team efforts under the multimedia research group at NSU.","PeriodicalId":199600,"journal":{"name":"Southcon/96 Conference Record","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133348725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
