In this paper we present a modified on-chip charge pumping method for measuring the interface states in ultra-thin gate oxide complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The proposed method, which characterizes ...

Multi-sensor systems can play an important role in monitoring tasks and detecting targets. However, real-time allocation of heterogeneous sensors to dynamic targets/tasks that are unknown a priori in their locations and ...

This work describes a novel formulation for the simulation of Navier–Stokes problems including embedded objects. The new proposal is based on the use of a modified finite element space, which replaces the standard one ...

We propose here a methodology for improving mass-conservation features of the fractional-step schemes on moving grids applied to viscous incompressible flows containing free surfaces. The idea is to find a better approximation ...

We propose a Lagrangian fluid formulation particularly suitable for fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulation involving free-surface flows and light-weight structures. The technique combines the features of fractional ...

A 3-dimensional modified Stokesian dynamics-based technique for simulating mineral particle suspensions is presented. Stokesian dynamics is a mesh free particle approach, which resembles the discrete element method. It ...

This paper introduces a low complexity implementation of the voltage balancing sorting algorithm to reduce the switching frequency of the power devices in modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Two modulation techniques are ...

We present in this report PROMENADE, an approach for supporting software process modelling. PROMENADE integrates: UML in order to define the elements that are involved in the process; and precedence relationships, ...

A modular discrete element framework is presented for large-scale simulations of industrial grain-handling systems. Our framework enables us to simulate a markedly larger number of particles than previous studies, thereby ...

This paper proposes a modulation strategy for multilevel multiphase diode-clamped dc–ac converters (also applicable to other functionally equivalent topologies) able to keep the dc-link capacitor voltages balanced under ...
