Magnetic Stochastic Resonance in systems described by Dynamic Preisach Model
2008
Stochastic resonance (SR) is generally considered as an enhancement of the system response for certain finite values of the noise strength. In particular the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the signal amplification show a maximum as a function of the noise intensity. This effect has been experimentally observed in many physical systems and also in magnetic systems. However, as far as magnetic systems are concerned, the dynamic features of the systems have been neglected and it has been assumed that the typical relaxation time is negligible. However this is clearly a rough approximation. In order to clarify this relation, in this paper we numerically study magnetic stochastic resonance in se…
Zinc Oxide Nanowires on Printed Circuit Boards
2015
Printed circuit boards (PCBs), which are widely used for the fabrication of electronic circuits, can only withstand rather low temperatures. For this reason, the fabrication of high-density, long ZnO nanostructures on PCBs still remains a complex task. In fact, in absence of a seed-layer, whose annealing would require high temperatures, solution-growth methods only allow to synthesize low-density arrays of nanowires. Here we evaluate methods for overcoming this issue and, as a prototype, demonstrate a simple displacement sensor.
Smart Cooling System for Milk Transportation in Rural Areas
2021
In the dairy industry, road milk tankers transport milk from one location to another. The milk inside the tanker needs to be kept between 3–5 °C to ensure that the quality of milk is always preserved. The tanker needs to be kept running at all time with the case of sufficient energy being continuously supplied to the cooling unit. The source of energy normally used for this application is a typical generator which needs fuel to operate. This is expensive and is not environmentally friendly. To address this problem, generator as a source of energy needs to be replaced by solar energy to lower the costs associated with cooling of the tanker. In this research a small scale solar powered intell…
Quantized Dissensus in switching networks with nodes death and duplication* *Research supported by MURST-PRIN “Robust Techniques for uncertain system…
2009
Abstract In this paper we discuss agents exchanging quantized flows to diverge one from the others according to a dissensus protocol. A Quantized Gossip algorithm is considered. Evolutions of the states during switching intervals and at switching instants and their property are described and analyzed. The modeling of switching systems describing networks where death and duplication processes occur is described. Some properties of the topology reached by the network when different rules of duplication and inheritance are implemented.
Sol-gel produced humidity sensor
1993
Abstract The sol-gel produced polycrystalline Prussian Blue thick films as planar humidity sensors have been investigated by impedance spectroscopy. The equivalent circuit used allows simulation in all the investigated r.h. range (10–100%). The region of changes of sample resistance is about five orders, which is enough for high measuring sensitivity.
Backoff Hardware Architecture for Inter-FPGA Traffic Management
2017
International audience; Multi-FPGA platforms are considered to be the mostappropriate experimental way to emulate a large Multi-ProcessorSystem-on-Chip based on a Network-on-Chip. However, theuse of a Network-on-Chip in several FPGAs requires inter-FPGA communication links to replace intra-FPGA links betweenrouters. As the ratio of the logic capacity to the number of IOsonly increases slowly with each generation of FPGA, IOs inFPGA are becoming a scare resource. And as there are morerouters than IOs, using a Network-on-Chip requires sharinginter-FPGA links between routers, and sharing an external linkcan lead to bottlenecks. Here, we evaluate the inter-FPGA trafficmanagement using a backoff…
Novel high-performance QCA Fredkin gate and designing scalable QCA binary to gray and vice versa
2022
AbstractIn the design of digital logic circuits, QCA technology is an excellent alternative to CMOS technology. Its advantages over CMOS include low power consumption, fast circuit switching, and nanoscale design. Circuits that convert data between different formats are code converters. Code converters have an essential role in high-performance computing and signal processing. In this paper, first, we proposed a novel QCA structure for the quantum reversible Fredkin gate. Second, we proposed 4-bit and 8-bit QCA binary-to-gray converter and vice versa. For the second proposal, both reversible and irreversible structures are suggested. The proposed structures are scalable up to N bits. To cha…
Multi-target QSPR assemble of a Complex Network for the distribution of chemicals to biphasic systems and biological tissues
2008
Abstract Chemometrics, that based prediction on the probability of chemical distribution to different systems, is highly important for physicochemical, environmental, and life sciences. However, the amount of information is huge and difficult to analyze. A multi-system partition Complex Network (MSP-CN) may be very useful in this sense. We define MSP-CNs as large graphs composed by nodes (chemicals) interconnected by arcs if a pair of chemicals have similar partition in a given system. Experimental quantification of partition in many systems is expensive, so we can use a Quantitative Structure–Partition Relationship (QSPR) model. Unfortunately, with classic QSPR we need to use one model for…
Cavity-based architecture to preserve quantum coherence and entanglement
2015
Quantum technology relies on the utilization of resources, like quantum coherence and entanglement, which allow quantum information and computation processing. This achievement is however jeopardized by the detrimental effects of the environment surrounding any quantum system, so that finding strategies to protect quantum resources is essential. Non-Markovian and structured environments are useful tools to this aim. Here we show how a simple environmental architecture made of two coupled lossy cavities enables a switch between Markovian and non-Markovian regimes for the dynamics of a qubit embedded in one of the cavity. Furthermore, qubit coherence can be indefinitely preserved if the cavit…
Design of a lambda configuration in artificial coherent nanostructures
2015
The implementation of a three-level Lambda System in artificial atoms would allow to perform advanced control tasks typical of quantum optics in the solid state realm, with photons in the $\mathrm{\mu m}$/mm range. However hardware constraints put an obstacle since protection from decoherence is often conflicting with efficient coupling to external fields. We address the problem of performing conventional STImulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) in the presence of low-frequency noise. We propose two strategies to defeat decoherence, based on "optimal symmetry breaking" and dynamical decoupling. We suggest how to apply to the different implementations of superconducting artificial atoms, …
