A troubleshooting method for debugging wireless sensor nodes using measurements of the supply current waveform and logic outputs is presented. The troubleshooting and debugging technique uses the supply current waveform in conjunction with the measurement ...
Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the program could have arrive ...
Electrostatic discharge in quartz watches is becoming more and more important due to the use of plastic materials and tactile sensors. The discharge can lead to different type of dysfunction such as a simple reset, a latch-up, or the destruction of the ele ...
One of the biggest challenges that are facing the Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSI) technologies today is the significant performance gap (3× to 9×) between full custom circuits and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) designed in the ...
Current Systems-On-Chip execute applications that demand extensive parallel processing. Networks-On-Chip (NoC) provide a structured way of realizing interconnections on silicon, and obviate the limitations of bus-based solutions. NoCs can have regular or a ...
This thesis presents a specialization of the integral equation (IE) method for the analysis of three-dimensional metallic and dielectric structures embedded in laterally unbounded (open) layered media. The method remains basically spatial but makes use of ...
