Conceptual design of the TRACE detector readout using a compact, dead time-less analog memory ASIC
2015
[EN] The new TRacking Array for light Charged particle Ejectiles (TRACE) detector system requires monitorization and sampling of all pulses in a large number of channels with very strict space and power consumption restrictions for the front-end electronics and cabling. Its readout system is to be based on analog memory ASICs with 64 channels each that sample a View the MathML source window of the waveform of any valid pulses at 200 MHz while discarding any other signals and are read out at 50 MHz with external ADC digitization. For this purpose, a new, compact analog memory architecture is described that allows pulse capture with zero dead time in any channel while vastly reducing the tota…
A device for spike train sampling with built-in memory.
1987
Abstract The described interface to a digital computer measures interspike interval durations with a resolution of 10 μs. A built-in first-in first-out (FIFO) memory relieves the host computer from frequent I/O intensive tasks. The internal FIFO buffer can store up to 512 data words (wordlength is 16 bit) and works on the dual-port principle. This way the acquisition of a neuronal spike train is completely independent of the computer's simultaneously ongoing data access. A simple handshake protocol between the interface and the computer prevents any overhead communication. The buffer architecture of the instrument releases the host computer from high speed I/O handling schemes like real-tim…
Memory irradiation measurements for the European SMART-1 spacecraft
2005
Three different types of memory circuits, that are intended to be used on board of the European satellite SMART-1, have been radiation hardness tested according to ESA's specification. Since the satellite is equipped with an electric propulsion engine, the spacecraft will be exposed to radiation during a long time when passing the radiation belt of the Earth. A standard DRAM circuit from SAMSUNG will serve as building block of the mass memory of SMART-1, and has been tested for total dose and proton induced single event upset (SEU). The DRAM memory showed surprisingly good resistance against radiation. The proton SEU cross sections for the radiation tolerant SRAM and FIFO circuits have also…
The multiple vehicle pickup and delivery problem with LIFO constraints
2015
Abstract This paper approaches a pickup and delivery problem with multiple vehicles in which LIFO conditions are imposed when performing loading and unloading operations and the route durations cannot exceed a given limit. We propose two mixed integer formulations of this problem and a heuristic procedure that uses tabu search in a multi-start framework. The first formulation is a compact one, that is, the number of variables and constraints is polynomial in the number of requests, while the second one contains an exponential number of constraints and is used as the basis of a branch-and-cut algorithm. The performances of the proposed solution methods are evaluated through an extensive comp…
Priority-oriented multicast transmission schemes for heterogeneous traffic in WSNs
2016
To ensure quality of service (QoS) for heterogeneous traffic in IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a challenging task since no traffic prioritization mechanism is defined in such WSNs. In this paper, we propose two priority-oriented multicast transmission schemes to provide QoS for heterogeneous traffic in WSNs. Contrary to the legacy CSMA/CA and FIFO principles, these schemes differentiate self-generated or received traffic and give priority to delay-sensitive traffic with respect to channel access and packet scheduling. Simulations are performed in order to assess the performance of these schemes in terms of end-to-end delay, energy consumption, packet delivery ratio, …
Krājumu izmaksu novērtēšanas metožu ietekme uz uzņēmuma finanšu rezultātu
2016
Darba tēma ir krājumu izmaksu novērtēšanas metožu ietekme uz uzņēmuma finanšu rezultātiem. Darba izstrādāšanas mērķis ir izpētīt krājumu novērtēšanas metožu ietekmi uz uzņēmuma darbības finanšu rezultātu un izstrādāt ieteikumus SIA „Roze MJ” uzņēmuma vadībai. Pētījuma gaitā analizētas krājumu apjoma izmaiņas, ja krājumu novērtēšanai izmanto FIFO un vidēji svērto metodi un novērtēta to ietekme uz uzņēmuma finanšu rezultātiem. Finanšu rezultātu novērtēšanai tiek izmantoti uzņēmuma kapitāla struktūras, rentabilitātes un likviditātes rādītāji, kurus tieši ietekmē izmaiņas krājumu postenī. Pētījuma rezultāts parāda, ka labāki rentabilitātes, likviditātes un kapitāla struktūras rādītāji ir, ja uz…
Positive Psychological Capital as a Predictor of Satisfaction With the Fly-In Fly-Out Model
2021
The flexibility of the markets and international agreements lure a growing number of companies to expand their business beyond frontiers in search for new markets and a bigger business network. Workers, initially called expatriates, become keystones to implant and promote the so desired expansion into the international markets. From the concept of flexpatriate present in the literature in general, we adapted the concept of FLY-in FLY-out (FIFO) to comprehend the organizational flexpatriates. In the midst of the Positive Psychology theories, Luthans et al. underline that workers are the psychological capital of the companies. Therefore, the development of the Positive Psychological Capital b…
