The Stability

Abstract Binary logic gates are building blocks of computing machines, in particular, electronic computers. One variant is the programable logic gate, also known as the reconfigurable logic gate, in which the logical function implemented can be modified. In this paper, we construct a mechanism to implement a reconfigurable logic gate. This mechanism is based on the concept of programable multistable mechanisms which we introduced in previous work. The application of a programable multistable mechanism is superior to the different bistable mechanisms previously used to implement logic gates since a single mechanism can be used to implement several logic functions. Our reconfigurable logic gates use a novel geometric construction where the geometric data depend on the stability behavior of the mechanism. There are 16 binary logic gates and our construction can theoretically produce nine of these and our physical model produces six logical gates. Input and output of the mechanism are displacement and the mechanisms can be combined serially, i.e., output of a mechanism is an input for another. We show that we can implement nor and nand gates, so combinations of our mechanism can express any logical function. The mechanism is therefore theoretically universal, i.e., implement any computation. We give an analytic model of the mechanism based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory to find the geometric data, then validate it using finite element analysis and experimental demonstration.

Abstract Binary logic operations are the building blocks of computing machines. In this paper, we present a new programmable binary logic gate based on programmable multistable mechanisms (PMM), which are multistable structures whose stability behavior depends on modifiable boundary conditions as defined and analyzed in our previous work. The logical state of a PMM is defined by its stability and logical operations are implemented by modifying the stability behavior of the mechanism. Our programmable logic device has two qualitatively different sets of inputs. The first set determines the logic function to be computed. The second set represents the logical inputs. The output is a single logical value, “true” if the mechanism changes state and “false” otherwise. In this way, we are able to mechanically implement a set of binary logical operations. This implementation is validated using an analytical model characterizing the qualitative stability behavior of the mechanism. This was further verified using finite element analysis and experimental demonstration.

Purpose This paper aims to present a design and simulation of electrostatic nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS)-based logic gates using laterally actuated cantilever with double-electrode structure that can implement logic functions, similar to logic devices that are made of solid-state transistors which operates at 5 V. Design/methodology/approach The analytical modeling of NEMS switch is carried out for finding the pull-in and pull-out voltage based on Euler-Bernoulli’s beam theory, and its numerical simulation is performed using finite element method computer-aided design tool COVENTORWARE. Findings This paper reports analytical and numerical simulation of basic NEMS switch to realize the logic gates. The proposed logic gate operates on 5 V which suits well with conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic which in turn reduces the power consumption of the device. Originality/value The proposed logic gates use a single bit NEMS switch per logic instead of using 6-14 individual transistors as in CMOS. One exclusive feature of this proposed logic gates is that the basic NEMS switch is structurally modified to function as specific logic gates depending upon the given inputs.

The Stability

Recently, the design and development of nanozyme-based logic gates have received much attention. In this work, by engineering the stability of the nanozyme-catalyzed product, we demonstrated that the chromogenic system of 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) can act as a visual output signal for constructing various Boolean logic operations. Specifically, cerium oxide or ferroferric oxide-based nanozymes can catalyze the oxidation of colorless TMB to a blue color product (oxTMB). The blue-colored solution of oxTMB could become colorless by some reductants, including the reduced transition state of glucose oxidase and xanthine oxidase. As a result, by combining biocatalytic reactions, the color change of oxTMB could be controlled logically. In our logic systems, glucose oxidase, β-galactosidase, and xanthine oxidase acted as inputs, and the state of oxTMB solution was used as an output. The logic operation produced a colored solution as the readout signal, which was easily distinguished with the naked eye. More importantly, the study of such a decolorization process allows the transformation of previously designed AND and OR logic gates into NAND and NOR gates. We propose that this work may push forward the design of novel nanozyme-based biological gates and help us further understand complex physiological pathways in living systems.

This paper introduces a new scheme to achieve a dynamic logic gate which can be adjusted flexibly to obtain different logic functions by adjusting specific parameters of a dynamical system. Based on graphical tools and the threshold mechanism, the distribution of different logic gates is studied, and a transformation method between different logics is given. Analyzing the performance of the dynamical system in the presence of noise, we discover that it is resistant to system noise. Moreover, we find some part of the system can be considered as a leaky integrator which has been already widely applied in engineering. Finally, we provide a proof-of-principle hardware implementation of the proposed scheme to illustrate its effectiveness. With the proposed scheme in hand, it is convenient to build the flexible, robust, and general purpose computing devices such as various network coding routers, communication encoders or decoders, and reconfigurable computer chips.

A real world signals are mostly based on Boolean operators. In simple language Boolean operators are logic gates and logic gates are the building blocks of any circuit. There are different types of logic gates like AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR. These all-logic gates are implemented using a Boolean function. And all these logic gates internally are implemented using diodes and transistors. And when we implement all these logic gates using transistor and diodes then it comes under logic families. In this paper we are going to do the analysis of NAND GATE using CMOS in 180 nm technology and has also designed its PCB layout. We are going to carried out the whole simulation of the proposed design of NAND Gate in eSim (Electronic Simulation) Software which is an EDA tool. And by changing the different values of inputs of NAND Gate we are observing respective output in simulation process of eSim.

Abstract Quantum logic gates with fidelity above fault-tolerant threshold are building blocks for scalable quantum technologies[1,2]. Compared to other types of qubits, photon is one of a kind due to its unparalleled advantages in long-distance quantum information exchange[3-5]. As a result, high-fidelity photonic quantum operations are not only indispensable for photonic quantum computation[6-8] but also critical for quantum network[2,9]. However, two-qubit photonic quantum logic gate with fidelity comparable to that of leading physical systems, i.e. 99.7% for superconducting circuits[10] and 99.9% for trapped ions[11], has not been achieved. A major limitation is the imperfection of single photons[12]. Here, we overcome this limitation by using high-quality single photons generated from Rydberg atoms as qubits for the interference-based gate protocol, and achieve a gate fidelity up to 99.84(3)%. Our work paves the way for scalable photonic quantum applications[13-15] based on near-optimal single-photon qubits and photon-photon gates.

In this paper, I discuss the theory behind the use of a dense, concentrated neutron particle-based beam. I look at the particle based physics behind such a beam, when it is focused against solid material matter. Although this idea is still only theoretical, it appears that such a beam may be capable of disrupting the stability of the atoms within solid matter- in some cases by passing great volumes of neutrons between the electron and nucleus thus effectively “shielding” the electron from the charge of the nucleus. In other cases, by disrupting the nucleus by firing neutrons into it, disrupting the nucleus and weakening its bond on electrons. In either case- the resulting effect would be a disruption of the atom, which in the case of material matter would cause said material matter to fail, which would appear to the observer as liquification with some plasma generation. Thus, a dense neutron particle based beam could be used to effectively liquefy material matter. Such a beam could bore through rock, metal, or even thick, military grade armour, like that used on tanks- causing such materials to rapidly liquefy. The denser and thicker the neutron beam, the more devastating the effect of the beam- thus the faster material matter will liquefy and the greater the area of liquification. Such a beam would have applications in Defence, mining and drilling operations.

Inlay-retained dental bridges can be a viable minimally invasive alternative when patients reject the idea of implant therapy or conventional retained full-coverage fixed dental prostheses, which require more tooth preparation. Inlay-retained dental bridges are indicated in patients with good oral hygiene, low susceptibility to caries, and a minimum coronal tooth height of 5 mm. The present study aims to evaluate, through the finite element method (FEM), the stability of these types of dental bridges and the stresses on the supporting teeth, under the action of masticatory forces. The analysis revealed the distribution of the load on the bridge elements and on the retainers, highlighting the areas of maximum pressure. The results of our study demonstrate that the stress determined by the loading force cannot cause damage to the prosthetic device or to abutment teeth. Thus, it can be considered an optimal economical solution for treating class III Kennedy edentation in young patients or as a provisional pre-implant rehabilitation option. However, special attention must be paid to its design, especially in the connection area between the bridge elements, because the connectors and the retainers represent the weakest parts.
