Analysis of a Passive Memristor Crossbar

Sports insurance originates in the nature of sports-high risk, and its basic position in the sports industry is determined by its particularity. However, sports insurance in China is only limited to high-risk competitive sports. School sports insurance is still in the development stage. The self-construction of sports insurance and insurance codes are imperfect with few sectors. What’s more, because of weak insurance consciousness of schools and students, unavoidable sports accidents take great pressure to the school, family and the student, which make an impact on the normal operation of schools. Thus it is necessary and urgent to build up and perfect school sports insurance.

Power Efficient

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have emerged in many applications as a platform to collect data and monitor a specified area with minimal human intervention. The initial deployment of WSN sensors forms a network that consists of randomly distributed devices/nodes in a known space. Advancements have been made in low-power micro-electronic circuits, which have allowed WSN to be a feasible platform for many applications. However, there are two major concerns that govern the efficiency, availability, and functionality of the network—power consumption and fault tolerance. This paper introduces a new algorithm called Power Efficient Cluster Algorithm (PECA). The proposed algorithm reduces the power consumption required to setup the network. This is accomplished by effectively reducing the total number of radio transmission required in the network setup (deployment) phase. As a fault tolerance approach, the algorithm stores information about each node for easier recovery of the network should any node fail. The proposed algorithm is compared with the Self Organizing Sensor (SOS) algorithm; results show that PECA consumes significantly less power than SOS.

AbstractUsing the time-averaged dielectrophoretic force from an applied electric field, we have observed the assembly of a chemically adsorbed monomolecularlayer (CAM) into microwires, connections, and an electric path according to the location within field regions of a lithographically patterned array of two platinum (Pt) electrodes. A Pt electrode/monolayer/Pt electrode junction was fabricated by the self-assembly of a rigid monomolecular, namely 3-{6-{11-(Trichlorosilyl) undecanoyl} hexyl} thiophene (TEN) with thiophen groups, in the lateral direction between the Pt gap electrodes. The technique of a conductive probe AFM (CP-AFM) has been used to investigate the forward bias conduction properties of a TEN film grown by a wet process deposition on a glass substrate. The self-assembly depends on: (1) the ideal rigidity of the chemically adsorptive monomolecular layer (CAM) and (2) the strong affinity of the thiophen end groups of the CAM for the Pt electrode. The current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the conjugated thiophen junction exhibited stepwise features at room temperature. The (I–V) characteristics can be explained as an electron transport through the junction. From the results in the atmosphere, the conductivity of a lateral conjugated polythiophen group was calculated to be 5.0×104 S/cm. Understanding and using these effects will allow the controlled fabrication and the positioning of microwires or connections at densities far above what is now achievable.

Edge Flow

Abstract Topological edge flow and dissipationless odd viscosity are two remarkable features of chiral active fluids composed of active spinners. These features can significantly influence the dynamics of suspended passive particles and the interactions between the particles. By computer simulations, we investigate the transport phenomenon of anisotropic passive objects and the self-assembly behavior of passive spherical particles in the active spinner fluid. It is found that in confined systems, nonspherical passive objects can stably cling to boundary walls and are unidirectionally and robustly transported by edge flow of spinners. Furthermore, in an unconfined system, passive spherical particles are able to form stable clusters that spontaneously and unidirectionally rotate as a whole. In these phenomena, strong particle-wall and interparticle effective attractions play a vital role, which originate from spinner-mediated depletion-like interactions and can be largely enhanced by odd viscosity of spinner fluids. Our results thus provide new insight into the robust transport of cargoes and the nonequilibrium self-assembly of passive intruders.

In this paper we investigate the influence of system non-uniformity on the existence and stability of synchronous motion in an array of bi–directionally coupled electronic circuits. In computer simulations we find the level of non-uniformity for which synchronous behavior is sustained. We also present several examples of attractors, which appear when the synchronous motions is no longer stable.

We present the results of the computer simulations for the self-assembly of decorated nanoparticles. The models are rather generic and comprise a central core and a shell of ligands containing terminal liquid crystalline group, including the case of the azobenzene chromophores. The simulations are performed using the coarse-grained molecular dynamics with the effective soft-core interparticle interaction potentials obtained from the atomistic simulations. The discussion is centred around the set of the self-assembled morphologies in a melt of 100–200 of such decorated nanoparticles obtained upon the change of the temperature, surface density of ligands, the type of the terminal group attachment, as well as the prediction of the possibility of photo-assisted self-assembly of the nanoparticles decorated by the azobenzene chromophores.

Oil Water

A simple oil/water/surfactant model is used to study the self-assembly of surfactants. The model contains only the most obvious elements: oil and water do not mix, and a surfactant is an amphiphilic molecule, i.e. one side of the molecule likes oil but dislikes water, the other side likes water but dislikes oil. Computer simulations on large oil/water/surfactant systems were performed on a network of 400 transputers using a parallel molecular dynamics algorithm. The simulations yield a complete micellar size distribution function. Furthermore, we observe (equilibrium) dynamical processes such as the entering of single surfactants into micelles, single surfactants leaving micelles, the fusion of two micelles, and the slow breakdown of a micelle.
