(2020)The rapid uptake of energy harvesting triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for self-powered electronics requires the development of high-performance tribo-materials capable of providing large power outputs. This work reports ... -
Fisheye lens distortion correction on multicore and hardware accelerator platforms
(2010)Wide-angle (fisheye) lenses are often used in virtual reality and computer vision applications to widen the field of view of conventional cameras. Those lenses, however, distort images. For most real-world applications the ... -
An integrated approach for assessing the in vitro and in vivo redox-related effects of nanomaterials
(2021)Over the last few decades, nanotechnology has risen to the forefront of both the research and industrial interest, resulting in the manufacture and utilization of various nanomaterials, as well as in their integration into ... -
Linear current-to-time converter
(2019)In this work, a new current-to-time converter (CDC) based on current-starved inverter is proposed. The time delay of the output pulse edges is linearly proportional to a control current. The benefits of the proposed topology ... -
Molecular dynamics simulations of ion separation in nano-channel water flows using an electric field
(2019)Removal of undesired substances from water is a field of investigation recently focused at the nanoscale. Towards this direction, molecular dynamics simulations are conducted in this paper to investigate unwanted ion removal ... -
A Placement-Aware Soft Error Rate Estimation of Combinational Circuits for Multiple Transient Faults in CMOS Technology
(2019)A considerable disadvantage that comes with the downscaling of the CMOS technology is the ever-increasing susceptibility of Integrated Circuits (ICs) to soft errors. Therefore, the study of the radiation-induced transient ... -
A power-supply noise aware dynamic timing analysis methodology, based on a statistical prediction engine
(2018)As technologies continue to shrink, industry seeks even faster ultra-low power ICs, requiring more accurate estimation of the worst case delay. Although traditional Static Timing Analysis (STA) methods incorporate data ... -
Radiation Hardening Legalisation Satisfying TMR Spacing Constraints with Respect to HPWL
(2020)Reduction in device feature sizes and supply voltage renders modern Integrated Circuits (ICs) more susceptible to Soft Errors (SEs), i.e. Transient Faults caused by ionising radiation. Moreover, the RADiation HARDening ... -
Replacing the metal electrodes in triboelectric nanogenerators: High-performance laser-induced graphene electrodes
(2020)While significant work is being carried out to develop materials for enabling high surface charge density triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), little attention has been paid to the role of electrodes responsible for charge ... -
Time-dependent conductive heat transfer in rarefied polyatomic gases confined between parallel plates
(2017)The transient conductive heat transfer through a rarefied gas confined between two infinite parallel plates due to a sudden jump in the temperature of one of the plates is investigated in the whole range of the Knudsen ... -
Wavelet-based signal analysis for heart failure hospitalization prediction
(2016)Heart failure (HF) is commonly a chronic condition associated with frequent hospital admissions. Early knowledge about a possible deterioration of this condition would enable early treatment for the prevention of adverse ...
