Low-Voltage Silicon Photonic Mems Switch With Vertical Actuation

Niels Quack, Hamed Sattari, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

We present a vertically movable silicon photonic MEMS switch realized in IMEC's standard silicon photonics platform followed by a dedicated postprocessing for MEMS release. The device has six optical ports, which enable four switching configurations with a ...

Discrete Time Analysis of Phase Detector Timing Nonidealities in Type-I Sub-Sampling PLL

Yusuf Leblebici, Duygu Kostak

The analysis of the effect of sub-sampling phase detector (SSPD) timing nonidealities on Type-I sub-sampling phase-locked loop (SSPLL) is presented. The nonidealities considered are the delay between the complementary sampling clocks and the propagation de ...

A Multi-Step Reconfiguration Model for Active Distribution Network Restoration Integrating DG Start-Up Sequences

Hossein Sekhavatmanesh

The ever-increasing penetration of Distributed Generators (DGs) in distribution networks suggests to enable their potentials in better fulfilling the restoration objective. The objective of the restoration problem is to resupply the maximum energy of loads ...

Trajectory Optimization for Legged Robots With Slipping Motions

Marco Hutter

The dynamics of legged systems are characterized by under-actuation, instability, and contact state switching. We present a trajectory optimization method for generating physically consistent motions under these conditions. By integrating a custom solver f ...

Fast multi-contact whole-body motion planning with limb dynamics

Auke Ijspeert, Jonathan Patrick Arreguit O'Neill, Salman Faraji

We present a new method for multi-contact motion planning which efficiently encodes internal dynamics of the robot without needing to use full models. Our approach is based on a five-mass model which is formulated by Cartesian points instead of joint angle ...

Novel Digital and Radio Frequency Electronic Functions Enabled by Steep-Slope Phase-Change Devices

Emanuele Andrea Casu

In the past half-century, the semiconductor industry has relied on the scaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistor dimensions and on material and geometrical innovations to increase the computational density. Approaching the end of ...

Optimal Switching Between Cash-Flow Streams

Thomas Alois Weber

We consider the problem of finding the optimal time to switch between two measurable cash-flow streams. A complete characterization of the set of solutions is obtained in terms of adjoint variables which measure the available gain from deviations. An itera ...

Switching Between Loss-Based and Delay-Based Mode for Real-Time Media Congestion Controllers

Sergio Mena, Stefano D'Aronco

Congestion control may be provided. A set of rules may allow a congestion control process to switch from delay-mode to loss-mode (e.g., in the presence of loss-based flows) and back to delay-mode (e.g., when loss-based flows stop). Fairness properties of t ...

Investigation of the metal-insulator transition in VO2 for Electronic Switches with Sub-1mV/Decade Steep Subthreshold Slope

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Clara-Fausta Moldovan, Josef Andreas Schuler, Wolfgang Amadeus Vitale, Antonio Paone

We report a thorough investigation of the electrically-induced metal-insulator transition in vanadium dioxide (VO2) for abrupt switching in 2-terminal devices (0.24 mV/dec at 25 °C, 0.38 mV/dec at 50 °C). We exploit the electrothermal actuation model based ...
