In this paper, we present a bandwidth-efficient partial-response signaling scheme for capacitivelycoupled chip-to-chip data transmission to increase data rate. Partial-response coding is knownas a technique that allows high-speed transmission while using a limited frequency bandwidth, by allowingcontrolled intersymbol interference (ISI). Analysis and circuit simulation results are presentedto show the impact of duobinary (1+D) and dicode (1-D) partial-response signaling for capacitivelycoupled interface.

In this paper, we set up the model of downlink for Time Division synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), and present link level simulation to TD-SCDMA mobile terminal smart antenna system. By carrying on performance simulation in system bit error rate between dual-unit antenna and single-unit antenna, we can validate the advantage of dual-unit smart antenna. Besides, we analysis the mobile terminal smart antenna may influenced by many factors, such as distance of two antenna, moving speed, the number of multi-path and user and so on, solve the contradiction between miniaturization of mobile terminal smart antenna and independence between antenna, and provide a valuable design reference to commercialize the limited frequency spectrum resource.

Conventionally, the ultimate goal in loudspeaker design has been to obtain a flat frequency response over a specified frequency range. This can be achieved by carefully selecting the main loudspeaker parameters such as the enclosure volume, the cone diameter, the moving mass and the very crucial “force factor”. For loudspeakers in small cabinets the results of this design procedure appear to be quite inefficient, especially at low frequencies. This paper describes a new solution to this problem. It consists of the combination of a highly non-linear preprocessing of the audio signal and the use of a so called low-force-factor loudspeaker. This combination yields a strongly increased efficiency, at least over a limited frequency range, at the cost of a somewhat altered sound quality. An analytically tractable optimality criterion has been defined and has been verified by the design of an experimental loudspeaker. This has a much higher efficiency and a higher sensitivity than current low-frequency loudspeakers, while its cabinet can be much smaller.

Electric Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS), xCELLigence and cellZscope are commercially available instruments that measure the impedance of cellular monolayers. Despite widespread use of these systems individually, direct comparisons between these platforms have not been published. To compare these instruments, the responses of human brain endothelial monolayers to TNFα and IL1β were measured on all three platforms simultaneously. All instruments detected transient changes in impedance in response to the cytokines, although the response magnitude varied, with ECIS being the most sensitive. ECIS and cellZscope were also able to attribute responses to particular endothelial barrier components by modelling the multifrequency impedance data acquired by these instruments; in contrast the limited frequency xCELLigence data cannot be modelled. Consistent with its superior impedance sensing, ECIS exhibited a greater capacity than cellZscope to distinguish between subtle changes in modelled endothelial monolayer properties. The reduced resolving ability of the cellZscope platform may be due to its electrode configuration, which is necessary to allow access to the basolateral compartment, an important advantage of this instrument. Collectively, this work demonstrates that instruments must be carefully selected to ensure they are appropriate for the experimental questions being asked when assessing endothelial barrier properties.

Highly idealised models of friction-induced vibration have been motivated by an attempt to capture what is essential to the phenomenon. This approach has resulted in a few simple mechanisms that are thought to capture common routes to instability. This paper aims to determine how well these perform as approximations to a more complex system, and whether the essential ingredients needed for a minimal model can be identified. We take a reduced-order model that exemplifies ‘mode-coupling’ and explore the extent to which it can approximate predictions based on an experimentally identified test-system. For the particular test system under study, two-mode ‘mode-coupling’ is rarely a good approximation and three modes are usually required to model a limited frequency range. We then compare predictions with results from an extensive program of sliding contact tests on a pin-on-disc rig in order to identify which ingredients are needed to explain observed squeal events. The results suggest that several minimal models would be needed to describe all observed squeal initiations, but the ‘negative-damping’ route to instability, which requires a velocity-dependent friction law, convincingly accounts for one cluster.

We demonstrate a method for obtaining optical coefficients over a broad terahertz spectral range from 1.5 THz to 16 THz at room temperature. Based on the interferograms directly acquired by a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), multi-beam interference principle combining Fresnel’s formula is employed to extract the refraction index and the extinction coefficient, giving the basis for calculating dielectric coefficients. It avoids the uncertainty and phase instability while using Kramers–Kronig (KK) relations and overcomes the limited frequency range of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS). Moreover, this method has better stability and is needless of cutting useful information between neighboring interference peaks for thin samples compared with TDS, making it a general processing method for interferograms and a good alternative for terahertz dielectric measurement.
