Conventional analog and mixed-signal (AMS) circuit designs heavily rely on manual effort, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This paper presents a fully automated design methodology for Successive Approximation Register (SAR)…

This paper describes a pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) employing a power and area efficient architecture. The adjacent stages of a pipeline share operational amplifiers. In order to keep accuracy of the amplifiers in the first…

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables enormous freedom for design of complex structures. However, the process-dependent limitations that result in discrepancies between as-designed and as-manufactured shapes are not fully understood. The…

Matching two images while estimating their relative geometry is a key step in many computer vision applications. For decades, a well-established pipeline, consisting of SIFT, RANSAC, and 8-point algorithm, has been used for this task.…

With the advent of high-speed, high-precision, and low-power mixed-signal systems, there is an ever-growing demand for accurate, fast, and energy-efficient analog-to-digital (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Unfortunately,…

The field of additive manufacturing (AM) has advanced considerably over recent decades through the development of novel methods, materials, and systems. However, as the field approaches maturity, it is relevant to investigate the scaling…

A topology optimization formulation including a model of the layer-by-layer additive manufacturing (AM) process is considered. Defined as a multi-objective minimization problem, the formulation accounts for the performance and cost of both…

One of the challenging issues in additive manufacturing (AM) oriented topology optimization is how to design structures that are self-supportive in a manufacture process without introducing additional supporting materials. In the present…

Atomistic-to-Continuum (AtC) coupling methods are a novel means of computing the properties of a discrete crystal structure, such as those containing defects, that combine the accuracy of an atomistic (fully discrete) model with the…

Admissions systems in many countries struggle to balance merit-based selection with equity objectives. Most existing approaches--categorical quotas, fragmented equity tracks, and opaque adjustments--lack transparent decision rules and…

The ability to accurately quantify the performance an additively manufactured (AM) product is important for a widespread industry adoption of AM as the design is required to: (1) satisfy geometrical constraints, (2) satisfy structural…

We consider the problem of jointly optimizing ADC bit resolution and analog beamforming over a frequency-selective massive MIMO uplink. We build upon a popular model to incorporate the impact of low bit resolution ADCs, that hitherto has…

Topology optimization produces designs with intricate geometries and complex topologies that require advanced manufacturing techniques such as additive manufacturing (AM). However, insufficient consideration of manufacturability during the…

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes often fabricate a near-net shape that includes the as-designed part as well as the sacrificial support structures that need to be machined away by subtractive manufacturing (SM), for instance…

Low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have emerged as a promising technology for reducing power consumption and complexity in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems while maintaining satisfactory spectral and…
