A compact power-on-reset pulse generator (POR-PG) circuit with a low-power and low-voltage operation capability is presented. Proposed POR-PG was fabricated in 0.5 μm 2P3M CMOS process. It was determined from simulations and measurements that proposed POR-PG works supply voltage levels between 1.8 V and 3.3 V and supply voltage rise times between 100 ns and 1 ms. POR-PG has very small silicon footprint. Layout size of proposed POR-PG circuit was 120 μm × 5 μm in 0.5 μm CMOS process. Comparing with other POR-PG circuits in the literature, proposed design enjoys lowest power consumption (< 6 μW), smallest silicon footprint, widest supply voltage range, and additional features such as brown-out detection capability. These achieved by using a unique cascadable POR delay element that consumes very low-power.

The purpose of this article is to study and devise pulse signal source of electrical discharge machining(EDM). The technology of EDM is the necessary key technology in various processing methods. Electrical discharge machining pulse power aims to convert the industrial frequency alternating current into certain frequencies pulse current to supply energy for electrode discharging to removal metal. Pulse power generator, controlled by an embedded MCU, can produce high voltage or low voltage discharge pulse waveform. After the research on characteristics and principles of many pulse powers, a novel, intelligent, high frequency pulse power supply with adjustable amplitude, frequency and duty is developed which has a favorable foreground in engineering application and a great theoretical significance. This paper is to realize the design of EDM pulse signal source based on the method of combining single-chip computer and complex programmable logic devices (CPLD), to satisfy the technical requirement of periodic variable and machining efficiency improving.

In this paper, we present, at transistor level, a very low complexity Gaussian monocycle pulse generator/modulator for DPSK low voltage and low power tunable ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The pulse generator, simulated in a SMIC 0.13 μm CMOS technology, provides a tunable, both in pulse width duration and repetition time, Gaussian monocycle compliant with the sub-GHz ETSI band and suitable to be used in UWB radio applications. The preliminary IC simulation results show a pulse duration from 1 ns up to 20 ns with good pulse symmetry and with the DPSK modulation capability. The circuit power consumption is about 1 mW from a 1.8 V power supply.

The relative roles of adhesion and locomotion in malignancy have yet to be clearly established. In a tumor, subpopulations of cells may be recognized according to their capacity to invade neighbouring tissue,or to enter the blood stream and metastasize. The mechanisms of adhesion and locomotion are themselves tightly linked to the cytoskeletal apparatus and cell surface topology, including expression of integrin receptors. In our studies on melanomas with Fluorescent Microscopy (FM) and Cell Sorter(FACS), we noticed that cells in cultures derived from metastases had more numerous actin bundles, then cells from primary foci. Following this track, we attempted to develop technology allowing to compare ultrastructure of these cells using correlative Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM) and Low Voltage Scanning Electron Microscopy(LVSEM).
