Silent Sentinel’s Loss and Theft Prevention

Coney L., Safa M., Verma U., Thomas P., Bruce Corporation, US

This paper offers a view into loss and theft protection that is ubiquitous and omnipresent. The solution for loss and theft prevention rests in the resourcefulness of the application of networked wireless technologies and tech-facing [...]

The Use of Nano Fillers in Silicone Rubber Composites for High Voltage Insulators

Ramirez I., Instituto de Investigaciones Eléctricas, MX

Since some years ago, polymer compositions have been used for outdoor electrical insulation applications as an alternative to inorganic materials such as porcelain and glass. The organic compositions are based on silicone rubber (SiR) and [...]

Modeling of Mismatch and Across-Chip Variations in Compact Device Models

Lu N., IBM, US

For analog circuit designers, both reducing device mismatch and having a good device mismatch model are very important. Pelgrom characterized device mismatch between two devices separated by a finite distance D as sqrt[a^2/(W*L) + b^2*D^2]. [...]

Visual Motion Analysis of Nanoplatforms Flow under an External Magnetic Field

Nakhmani A., Etgar L., Tannenbaum A., Tannenbaum R., Lifshitz E., Tannenbaum A., Tannenbaum R., Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, IL

We use the tools of nanotechnology and develop a visual tracking algorithm for motion analysis of nanoplatforms under the influence of an external magnetic field. We have studied quantitative relationships between nanoplatform sizes, fluid flow [...]

Optimal Design and Use of PV Water Pumping Systems in Armenia

Ayvazyan G., Buniatyan V., Vardanyan A., State Engineering University of Armenia, AM

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems find a large market in the developing countries in Asia, Middle East and Africa. Most of these areas are characterized by solar energy availability over a large part of the year. [...]
