The energy-efficient implementation of an adaptive-filtering-based QRS complex detection method for wearable devices

Electrocardiogram (ECG) can be used as a valid way for diagnosing heart disease. To fulfill ECG processing in wearable devices by reducing computation complexity and hardware cost, two kinds of adaptive filters are designed to perform QRS complex detection and motion artifacts removal, respectively. The proposed design achieves a sensitivity of 99.49% and a positive predictivity of 99.72%, tested under the MIT-BIH ECG database. The proposed design is synthesized under the SMIC 65-nm CMOS technology and verified by post-synthesis simulation. Experimental results show that the power consumption and area cost of this design are of 160 μW and 1.09×10⁵ μm², respectively.     

Multistage second-order microring-resonator filters with box-like spectral responses and relaxed fabrication tolerances

We demonstrate an optical filter based on multistage second-order microring resonators (MRs) with box-like spectral responses. Compared with single-stage high-order optical filters with the same number of MRs, the demonstrated structure has comparable performances in the aspects of passband flatness, rolling-off slope and insertion loss. Moreover, the architecture relaxes the fabrication tolerance, electrical wiring and tuning difficulty since there are only two MRs in each stage. We experimentally demonstrate this kind of optical filter with five stages, which shows a 3-dB bandwidth of ~17 GHz, a rolling-off slope of ~5 dB/GHz and an on-chip insertion loss of ~6 dB.     

Effect of annealing temperature on Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contacts on undoped AlN films

The Ti/Al/Ni/Au metals were deposited on undoped AlN films by electron beam evaporation. The influence of annealing temperature on the properties of contacts was investigated. When the annealing temperatures were between 800 and 950℃, the AlN-Ti/Al/Ni/Au contacts became ohmic contacts and the resistance decreased with the increase of annealing temperature. A lowest specific contacts resistance of 0.379 Ω·cm² was obtained for the sample annealed at 950℃. In this work, we confirmed that the formation mechanism of ohmic contacts on AlN was due to the formation of Al-Au, Au-Ti and Al-Ni alloys, and reduction of the specific contacts resistance could originate from the formation of Au₂Ti and AlAu₂ alloys. This result provided a possibility for the preparation of AlN-based high-frequency, high-power devices and deep ultraviolet devices.

大型短波广播台源项众多,影响区域内的电磁辐射水平分布情况复杂,目前常用的电磁辐射源环境检测方法均无法全面准确地测量出其对周边电磁辐射环境的影响情况,为此提出一种基于最大相对误差控制算法的非等距网格测量法.该方法根据大型短波广播发射台周边电磁场变化规律理论分析结果,控制网格拟合值与网格内理论计算准确值的最大相对误差,考虑现场环境对电磁场变化影响和检测点位布设可行性确定检测网格尺寸,在电磁场强度变化很大的区域采取小网格提高检测取样的抽样率,在电磁场强度变化不大的区域采取大网格降低检测取样的抽样率,不仅保证了测量结果的精准度,同时也合理地降低了实际工作量.
