At least N+1 finite transmission zeros using frequency-variant negative source-load coupling

A second-order cross-coupled combline filter which has three finite transmission zeros is presented. The problem of the frequency-invariant coupling in a real circuit is introduced. To make extra transmission zeros, a top metalized dielectric block is used.

The stress-whitened damage zone of PVC blends

The stress-whitened damage zone that formed ahead of a semicircular notch during slow tensile loading has been measured from optical micrographs of translucent blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with experimental chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) resins. When the zone was small, the plane strain condition applied and from the elastic stress distribution a constant mean stress condition was found at the boundary of the crescent-shaped zone. The critical mean stress did not depend on the chlorine content or the chlorine distribution of the experimental CPE resin used in the blend. While the critical mean stress decreased as the amount of CPE in the blend was increased, the critical volume strain, calculated from the bulk modulus, was independent of composition and was thought to be the controlling parameter for stress-whitening. When the zone was larger, the shape was qualitatively described by concepts of stress redistribution in the presence of a plastic zone ahead of the notch. Macroscopic flow and necking were only detected near the maximum in the stress-displacement curve.     

In situ polymerization and characterization of polyester‐based polyurethane/nano‐silica composites

Polyester‐based polyurethane/nano‐silica composites were obtained via in situ polymerization and investigated by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), or FTIR coupled with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR‐ATR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), an Instron testing machine, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometry (UV‐vis). FTIR analysis showed that in situ polymerization provoked some chemical reactions between polyester molecules and nano‐silica particles. FTIR‐ATR, TEM and AFM analyses showed that both surface and interface contained nano‐silica particles. Instron testing and DMA data showed that introducing nano‐silica particles into polyurethane enhanced the hardness, glass temperature and adhesion strength of polyurethane to the substrate, but also increased the resin viscosity. UV‐vis spectrophotometry showed that nano‐silica obtained by the fumed method did not shield UV radiation in polyurethane films. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry     

DC and AC characteristics of sub-50-nm MOSFETs with source/drain-to-gate nonoverlapped structure

A MOSFET structure with a nonoverlapped source/drain (S/D) to gate region was proposed to overcome the challenges in sub-50-nm CMOS devices. Key device characteristics were investigated by extensive simulation study. Fringing gate electric field through the spacer induces an inversion layer in the nonoverlap region to act as an extended S/D region. An oxide spacer is used to reduce parasitic gate overlap capacitance. A reasonable amount of inversion electrons were induced under the spacers. Internal physics, speed characteristics, short channel effects, and RF characteristics were studied with the nonoverlap distance at a fixed metallurgical channel length of 40 nm. The proposed structure had good drain-induced barrier lowering and V/sub T/ rolloff characteristics and showed reasonable intrinsic gate delay and cutoff frequency compared to those of an overlapped structure.

A Multi-View Face Recognition System

In many automatic face recognition systems,posture constraining is a key factor preventing them from application.In this paper a series of strategies will be described to achieve a system which enables face recognition under varying pose.These approaches include the multi-view face modeling,the threschold image based face feature detection,the affine transformation based face posture normalization and the template matching based face identification.Combining all of these strategies,a face recognition system with the pose invariance is designed successfully,Using a 75MHZ Pentium PC and with a database of 75 individuals,15 images for each person,and 225 test images with various postures,a very good recognition rate of 96.89% is obtained.     

A typed functional extension of logic programming

A logic language is suitable for specification if it is equipped with features for data abstraction and modularization. In this paper, an effective mechanism to incorporate function and type into logic programming is presented as the means to embed data abstraction mechanism into logic programming. This incorporation is essentially based on Horn clause logic with equality and a polymorphic type system that is an extension of Mycroft and O’Keefe’s system. This paper also presents an implementation based on Warren Abstract Machine (WAM) and shows the performance, along with a comparison with WAM.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(siloxane-urethane)s

A series of polyurethane block copolymers based on hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and poly(propylene glycol) soft segments of molecular weights 1818 and 2000, respectively, were synthesized. The hard segments consisted of 4,4′-diphenylnethane diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol as the chain extender. Samples with different molar ratios were prepared. We tried to synthesize polydimethylsiloxane-based polyurethanes (PDMS-PU) containing a hard block as major fraction and a soft block as minor fraction for preparing toughened rigid systems. After a study of the pure polydimethylsiloxane-based polyurethane and poly(propylene glycol)-based polyurethane (PPG-PU), (mixed polyol)-based block copolymers and blends of PDMS-PU and PPG-PU were synthesized, and characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry, tensile testing and scanning electron microscopy. In (mixed polyol)-based copolymers and lower hard-segment content blends, macro-phase separation occurred, but blends with higher hard-segment contents showed significant reduction in amounts of phase separation.
