Two Phase Clocked Adiabatic Static CMOS Logic and its Logic Family

Anuar, Nazrul,Takahashi, Yasuhiro,Sekine, Toshikazu The Institute of Electronics and Information Engin 2010 Journal of semiconductor technology and science Vol.10 No.1

This paper proposes a two-phase clocked adiabatic static CMOS logic (2PASCL) circuit that utilizes the principles of adiabatic switching and energy recovery. The low-power 2PASCL circuit uses two complementary split-level sinusoidal power supply clocks whose height is equal to $V_{dd}$. It can be directly derived from static CMOS circuits. By removing the diode from the charging path, higher output amplitude is achieved and the power consumption of the diode is eliminated. 2PASCL has switching activity that is lower than dynamic logic. We also design and simulate NOT, NAND, NOR, and XOR logic gates on the basis of the 2PASCL topology. From the simulation results, we find that 2PASCL 4-inverter chain logic can save up to 79% of dissipated energy as compared to that with a static CMOS logic at transition frequencies of 1 to 100 MHz. The results indicate that 2PASCL technology can be advantageously applied to low power digital devices operated at low frequencies, such as radio-frequency identifications (RFIDs), smart cards, and sensors.

The Asian giant toad, Phrynoidis aspera, research is faced mainly with twin challenges of conservationand efficient sampling techniques for research purposes. This research is therefore conducted to assessthe co-integration feature of the captureerecapture methods and to evaluate both long- and short-termeffect of capture on the recapture of P. aspera using Titi Kerawang waterfall (N05 24.23/E100 13.41/),Teluk Bahang. Toads encountered in the study area were caught and marked using PIT tags weekly. Dataobtained were subjected to summary statistics (mean, standard error, and variance), correlogram, crosscorrelogram, stationary test, and exogenous and endogenous variable determination. Mean Asian gianttoad recaptured fell between three for the 2nd week and 25 for the 14th week. For the capture, the rangewas between zero for the 12th week and nine for the 3rd week, while the 1st capture was 12 toads. Therewas no visible similarity in the variances of the toad indices indicated by the correlogram of both captureand recapture as well as their cross-correlogram. The cross-correlogram ranged between 0.6665 and0.4029. From these results, randomness of data as well as their independence can thus be established. Also, the results portray that the summary statistics does not present any visible stationary trend in bothtoad capture and recapture. The raw data can therefore be said to be nonstationary (that is variance oftoad capture/recapture in a week, xt is not dependent on preceding week, xt-1). The augmented DickeyeFuller statistics of both capture (0.97294 to 3.92035) and recapture (1.13288 to 4.00443) indicatedstrong evidence that both capture and recapture series of the nontransformed data on the long run areI(1). The short-run co-integration according to this study contrast with the long-run co-integration.

FALKNER-SKAN EQUATION FOR FLOW PAST A MOVING WEDGE WITH SUCTION OR INJECTION

Ishak, Anuar,Nazar, Roslinda,Pop, Ioan 한국전산응용수학회 2007 Journal of applied mathematics & informatics Vol.25 No.1

The characteristics of steady two-dimensional laminar boundary layer flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid past a moving wedge with suction or injection are theoretically investigated. The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite-difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. The effects of Falkner-Skan power-law parameter (m), suction/injection parameter ($f_0$) and the ratio of free stream velocity to boundary velocity parameter (${\lambda}$) are discussed in detail. The numerical results for velocity distribution and skin friction coefficient are given for several values of these parameters. Comparisons with the existing results obtained by other researchers under certain conditions are made. The critical values of $f_0$, m and ${\lambda}$ are obtained numerically and their significance on the skin friction and velocity profiles is discussed. The numerical evidence would seem to indicate the onset of reverse flow as it has been found by Riley and Weidman in 1989 for the Falkner-Skan equation for flow past an impermeable stretching boundary.

Adiabatic Logic versus CMOS for Low Power Applications

Nazrul Anuar,Yasuhiro Takahashi,Toshikazu Sekine 대한전자공학회 2009 ITC-CSCC :International Technical Conference on Ci Vol.2009 No.7

This paper presents a new quasi adiabatic logic family that uses a pair of complementary split-level sinusoidal power supply clocks for digital low power applications such as sensors. The proposed two phase clocked adiabatic static CMOS logic (2PASCL) circuit utilizes the principle of adiabatic switching and energy recovery. By removing the diode at the charging path, higher output amplitude is achieved and the power consumption of the diode is eliminated. We design and simulate NOT, NAND, NOR and Exclusive-OR logic gates based on 2PASCL with SPICE implemented using 0.18 ㎛ CMOS technology. A driving pulse with the height equal to Vdd is supplied to the gates. From the simulation results, 2PASCL inverter logic can save up to 97% of energy dissipation compared with static CMOS logic at transition frequencies of 10 to 100 ㎒. It also shows the lowest in energy dissipation compared with other proposed simple adiabatic logic inverters.

We studied a correlation between the membrane substrate properties and the final performance of hollow fiber thin film composite (TFC) membrane for xylose/glucose concentration and acetic acid removal. Polysulfone (PSf) hollow fiber membrane substrate was fabricated using 20 wt% PSf, 2 wt% polyvinylpyrrolidone and 78 wt% dimethylformamide via dry-wet spinning process. The air gap distance was manipulated from 6 cm to 15 cm during spinning to produce different substrate membrane properties. The molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) and porosity of the membrane substrate increased as the air gap distance increased. Membrane substrate that was spun at 6 cm air gap showed a rapid phase inversion without much chain relaxation, thus producing the smallest MWCO (8 kDa) and an average pore diameter (4.46 nm). The TFC membrane produced using this membrane substrate showed the best performance in terms of solute rejection and separation factor. The rejection for xylose, glucose and acetic acid was 91.66±0.09%, 67.28±13.97%, and 13.08±3.00%, respectively. This results in an ideal separation factor of 3.20±1.27 for acetic acid/glucose and 10.42±0.25 for acetic acid/xylose.

Aufa Adeela Anuar,Nurain Yusof 한국의류학회 2016 Fashion and Textiles Vol.3 No.1

This review intends to analyze the distinctive fabric utilized for mosquito repellent studies and forms of treatment mosquito agents on the fabrics. Textile treated with mosquito repellent is a revolutionary innovation to protect human from the bites of mosquito borne disease such as Dengue. This peculiarity was produced as needed in feeling of assurance from mosquitoes in the regions which are territories of the mosquitoes and inclined to disease. To impart this feature, the fabrics are given a treatment of mosquito repellent agent which capable of being utilized and without ruining their characteristics. The utilization of anti-agents to dress and different fabrics is best contrasted with skin application in light of the fact that it lessens the probability of unfavorably susceptible responses. This paper described the textile materials selection, methods of imparting the repellent into the fabrics, types of repellent as well as the repellency test of treated fabrics. The assessments used in the treated textile are summarized and conditions of the assessment of repellency relative to this discussion are presented.

The present study was conducted to investigate the clinical outcomes of Entamoeba histolytica infection in symptomatic and asymptomatic Orang Asli (aborigine) communities in Malaysia. Examination was performed on 500 stool samples obtained from Orang Asli communities in 3 different states using formalin-ether concentration, trichrome staining, and single-round PCR techniques. Out of 500 stool samples, single infection of E. histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, and Entamoeba moshkovskii was identified in 3.2%, 13.4%, and 1%, respectively. In addition, 10 samples had mixed infections with E. histolytica and E. dispar. Six samples containing E. dispar were also positive for E. moshkovskii, and only 2 samples had E. histolytica in association with E. dispar and E. moshkovskii. Seventeen E. histolytica-positive samples were from symptomatic subjects, whereas the remaining 11 samples came from asymptomatic subjects. These findings suggest a predominant distribution of pathogenic potential of E. histolytica strains in this community. Therefore, further studies on genotyping of E. histolytica is required, to find out association between E. histolytica genotype and the outcome of the infection.
