This paper presents a zero-voltage switching current mode sample and hold(S/H) circuit. The proposed S/H has 12 bit linearity at 180MHz sampling rate for 1.5v supply voltage. The S/H circuit is designed for 0.18μm CMOS technology  

A low voltage current mode sample and hold (S/H) in 0.18μm technology with 1.5v supply voltage is presented. This S/H has 12-bit linearity, i.e., gain and nonlinearity errors of S/H are less than 0.02μA for 100uA input current. Maximum sampling rate for this structure is 100 MHz (using double sampling technique). © 2005 IEEE  

We introduce a clean cluster spin chain coupled to fully interacting spinless fermions, forming an unconstrained Z2 lattice gauge theory (LGT), which possesses dynamical proximity effect controlled by the entanglement structure of the initial state. We expand the machinery of interaction-driven localization to the realm of LGTs such that for any starting product state, the matter fields exhibit emergent statistical bubble localization, which is driven solely by the cluster interaction, having no topologically trivial noninteracting counterpart, and thus is of a pure dynamical many-body effect. In this vein, our proposed setting provides possibly the minimal model dropping all the... 

A high speed, high resolution switched-current sample and hold (SI S/H) based on a new class AB transconductance stage is presented. Simulations performed on the SI S/H in standard 0.18um CMOS technology with 1.5v supply voltage indicate low power dissipation, high sampling speed and high SNR. © 2006 IEEE  

Spine musculoskeletal (MS) models make simplifying assumptions on the intervertebral joint degrees-of-freedom (rotational and/or translational), representation (spherical or beam-like joints), and properties (linear or nonlinear). They also generally neglect the realistic structure of the joints with disc nuclei/annuli, facets, and ligaments. We aim to develop a novel MS model where trunk muscles are incorporated into a detailed finite element (FE) model of the ligamentous T12-S1 spine thus constructing a gold standard coupled MS-FE model. Model predictions are compared under some tasks with those of our earlier spherical joints, beam joints, and hybrid (uncoupled) MS-FE models. The coupled... 

Different lifting analysis tools are commonly used to assess spinal loads and risk of injury. Distinct musculoskeletal models with various degrees of accuracy are employed in these tools affecting thus their relative accuracy in practical applications. The present study aims to compare predictions of six tools (HCBCF, LSBM, 3DSSPP, AnyBody, simple polynomial, and regression models) for the L4-L5 and L5-S1 compression and shear loads in twenty-six static activities with and without hand load. Significantly different spinal loads but relatively similar patterns for the compression (R2>0.87) were computed. Regression models and AnyBody predicted intradiscal pressures in closer agreement with... 

Enhanced Oil Recovery from carbonate reservoirs is a major challenge especially in naturally fractured formations where spontaneous imbibition is a main driving force. The Low Salinity Water Injection (LSWI) method has been suggested as one of the promising methods for enhanced oil recovery. However, the literature suggests that LSWI method, due to high dependence on rock mineralogy, injected and formation water salt concentration, and complexity of reactions is not a well-established technology in oil recovery from carbonate reservoirs. The underlying mechanism of LSWI is still not fully understood. Due to lack of LSWI study in free clay dolomite fractured reservoir, and to investigate of...
