Towards Reliable Evaluation of Algorithms for Road Network Reconstruction from Aerial Images

Pascal Fua, Mateusz Kozinski, Leonardo Citraro

Existing connectivity-oriented performance measures rank road delineation algorithms inconsistently, which makes it difficult to decide which one is best for a given application. We show that these inconsistencies stem from design flaws that make the metri ...

Design-oriented Modeling of 28 nm FDSOI CMOS Technology down to 4.2 K for Quantum Computing

Christian Enz, Farzan Jazaeri, Arnout Lodewijk M Beckers, Louis Hutin

In this paper a commercial 28 nm FDSOI CMOS technology is characterized and modeled from room temperature down to 4.2 K. Here we explain the influence of incomplete ionization and interface traps on this technology starting from the fundamental device-phys ...

The Graphic Statics behind the Collier Memorial

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet

This paper reviews the various graphic statics methods applied during the early structural design of the Collier Memorial, Cambridge, MA. Built in 2015 to honor fallen MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, the monument is a vaulted assembly of massive granite b ...

Field-enhanced design of steep-slope VO2 switches for low actuation voltage

Juan Ramon Mosig, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Clara-Fausta Moldovan, Michele Tamagnone, Wolfgang Amadeus Vitale, Emanuele Andrea Casu, Luca Petit

The abrupt metal-insulator transition in vanadium dioxide (VO2) offers novel performance and functionality for beyond CMOS switches, enabling simultaneous high ON current and ultra-steep subthreshold slope with low temperature dependence. We developed a fi ...
