A Combined Circuit-Electromagnetic-Fluidic Computational Methodology for Force Prediction in Lab-on-Chip Environments

This paper focuses on a computational method for the simulation of the motion and manipulation of bio-particles using dielectrophoretic and micro-fluidic forces. The presented method uses surface integral equations for modeling both electromagnetic (EM) and fluidic domains. A coupled circuit-EM methodology is used to model electrical excitations. A steady Stokes flow is assumed for computing the fluidic traction forces. The resulting simulator accurately predicts the fields and forces on arbitrarily-shaped three dimensional particles representing bio-species. The presented methodology is amenable to acceleration with state of the art oct-tree-based fast matrix-vector schemes for rapid linear time iterative solution. This integrated computational approach leads to a pathway for rapid simulation of coupled circuit-EM-fluidic systems for Lab-on-chip (LoC) manipulation of biological species, which provides medical device designers the capability to augment control of bio-species, and explore new system designs

Aerial edge computing for 6G

In the 6th generation mobile communication system (6G) era, a large number of delay-sensitive and computation-intensive applications impose great pressure on resource-constrained Internet of things (IoT) devices. Aerial edge computing is envisioned as a promising and cost-effective solution, especially in hostile environments without terrestrial infrastructures. Therefore, this paper focuses on integrating aerial edge computing into 6G for providing ubiquitous computing services for IoT devices. This paper first presents the layered network architecture of aerial edge computing for 6G. The benefits, potential applications, and design challenges are also discussed in detail. Next, several key techniques like unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) deployment, operation mode, offloading mode, caching policy, and resource management are highlighted to present how to integrated aerial edge computing into 6G. Then, the joint UAV deployment optimization and computation offloading method is designed to minimize the computing delay for a typical aerial edge computing network. Numerical results reveal the significant delay reduction of the proposed method compared with the other benchmark methods. Finally, several open issues for aerial edge computing in 6G are elaborated to provide some guidance for future research.     

Broadband Rational Macromodeling Based on the Adaptive Frequency Sampling Algorithm and the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Method

The increasing operating frequencies in modern designs call for broadband macromodeling techniques. The problem of computing high-accuracy simulation models for high-speed interconnects is of great importance in the modeling arena. Nowadays, many full-wave numerical techniques are available that provide high accuracy, often at a significant cost in terms of memory storage and computing time. Furthermore, designers are usually only interested in a few electrical quantities such as port voltages and currents. So, model order reduction techniques are commonly used to achieve accurate results in a reasonable time. This paper presents a new technique, based on the partial element equivalent circuit method, which allows to generate reduced-order models by adaptively selecting the complexity (order) of the macromodel and suitable frequency samples. Thus, the proposed algorithm allows to limit the computing time while preserving the accuracy. Validation examples are given.

An integrated two-level hierarchical system for decision making in radiation therapy based on fuzzy cognitive maps

The radiation therapy decision-making is a complex process that has to take into consideration a variety of interrelated functions. Many fuzzy factors that must be considered in the calculation of the appropriate dose increase the complexity of the decision-making problem. A novel approach introduces fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) as the computational modeling method, which tackles the complexity and allows the analysis and simulation of the clinical radiation procedure. Specifically this approach is used to determine the success of radiation therapy process estimating the final dose delivered to the target volume, based on the soft computing technique of FCMs. Furthermore a two-level integrated hierarchical structure is proposed to supervise and evaluate the radiotherapy process prior to treatment execution. The supervisor determines the treatment variables of cancer therapy and the acceptance level of final radiation dose to the target volume. Two clinical case studies are used to test the proposed methodology and evaluate the simulation results. The usefulness of this two-level hierarchical structure discussed and future research directions are suggested for the clinical use of this methodology.

RF-TSV design, modeling and application for 3D multi-core computer systems

The state-of-the-art multi-core computer systems are based on Very Large Scale three Dimensional (3D) Integrated circuits (VLSI). In order to provide high-speed vertical data transmission in such 3D systems, efficient Through-Silicon Via (TSV) technology is critically important. In this paper, various Radio Frequency (RF) TSV designs and models are proposed. Specifically, the Cu-plug TSV with surrounding ground TSVs is used as the baseline structure. For further improvement, the dielectric coaxial and novel air-gap coaxial TSVs are introduced. Using the empirical parameters of these coaxial TSVs, the simulation results are obtained demonstrating that these coaxial RF-TSVs can provide two-order higher of cut-off frequencies than the Cu-plug TSVs. Based on these new RF-TSV technologies, we propose a novel 3D multi-core computer system as well as new architectures for manipulating the interfaces between RF and baseband circuit. Taking into consideration the scaling down of IC manufacture technologies, predictions for the performance of future generations of circuits are made. With simulation results indicating energy per bit and area per bit being reduced by 7% and 11% respectively, we can conclude that the proposed method is a worthwhile guideline for the design of future multi-core computer ICs.

Low-power fault-tolerant interconnect method based on LCDMA and duplication

High computing capabilities and limited number of input/output pins of modern integrated circuits require an efficient and reliable interconnection architecture. The proposed communication scheme allows a large number of IP cores to send data over a single wire using logic code division multiple access (LCDMA) technique. Reliability is increased by using hardware redundancy, and three LCDMA-based fault tolerant designs are proposed: (a) duplication with logic comparison (DLC), (b) conventional triple modular redundancy (TMR), and (c) triple modular redundancy with sign voter (TSV). With aim to detect a received bit from chip sequence, LCDMA–DLC and LCDMA–TSV designs compare absolute values of the sums, while LCDMA–TMR compares only sign bits of the sums generated at the outputs of decoders. All proposed designs are implemented in FPGA and ASIC technologies. MATLAB simulation results show that increasing the length of spreading codes affects to an increase in reliability. A comparative analysis of the proposed fault tolerant designs in terms of hardware complexity, latency, power consumption and error detecting and correcting capability is conducted. It is shown that LCDMA–DLC design has lower hardware overhead and power consumption, with satisfactory better bit error rate (BER) performance, in comparison to LCDMA–TMR and LCDMA–TSV approach.     

Tunable waveguide transmission gratings based on active gain control

Mode loss or gain can have a significant effect on the operation of waveguide transmission gratings as optical filters. Taking for example a long-period grating (LPG), we present a computer simulation that accounts for these effects. We show that cladding loss or gain result in qualitatively different LPG spectral behavior that can be used as a tuning mechanism in guiding structures where cladding mode properties can be controlled. One possible control mechanism is to have pump-driven gain in a doped cladding, which can perform gradual loss compensation and eventually gain excitement. Based on simulation results, we propose new approaches to tuneable amplifying filter designs in special fibers, as well as grating assisted co-directional couplers for integrated optics platforms.
