These approaches use the location parameters received from different sources and they are based on intersections of circles, hyperbolas, and lines, respectively. The location is determined using standard complex computation methods that are usually implemented in software and needed relatively long execution time. An important factor in achieving this is to minimize and simplify the instructions that the mobile station (MS) has to execute in the location determination process. Finding an effective location estimation technique to facilitate processing data is the main focuses in this paper. Therefore, in the wireless propagation environment the Received Signal Strength (RSS) information from three base stations (BSs) are recorded and processed and they can provide an overlapping coverage area of interest. Then an easy geometric technique is applied in order to effectively calculate the location of the desired MS.","PeriodicalId":423978,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Era","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130299392","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}

By dealing with untestable paths in sequential circuits at register-transfer level (RTL) and utilizing design information obtained from high-level synthesis, the method can identify sequentially unsensitizable paths effectively and efficiently. Information about identified unsensitizable paths can not only facilitate process of test generation but also mitigate futileness of testing. In this work, we employ non-robust unsensitizability, which is widely supported in current ATPG systems, for identifying unsensitizable paths. We show the effectiveness of use of high-level design information through our experiments using RTL circuits synthesized from behavioral benchmark circuits.","PeriodicalId":423978,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Era","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115207568","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}

In addition we simulate the impact of defects to measure the ability of our architecture to repair defective neurons, using a competitive learning scheme with or without redundancy. The architecture is able to learn the Boolean functions with manufacturing defect rate up to 13% with reasonable redundancy amount.

The Gate All Around (GAA) MOSFET is considered one the most promising devices for downscaling below 50 nm. However, challenges still remain to resolve the important issues particularly concerning hot-carrier reliability and accurate device models for nanoscale circuit designs. Hot-carrier effects have been the major issues in the long-term stability of subthreshold performances in a nanoscale MOS transistor. Therefore, in this paper an analytical, surface-potential-based, model for the subthreshold swing of undoped GAA MOSFETs has been derived at low drain-source voltage based on an analytical solution of the two-dimensional Poisson equation (in cylindrical coordinates) with the hot carrier term included. The new model has been verified by comparison with 2-D numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":423978,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Design & Technology of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Era","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126514136","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}
