Sport activities have benefited in recent years from the progressive adoption of different technological assets in order to improve individual as well as group training, collect different statistics or enhance the spectator ...

Bloch surface wave (BSW) platforms are particularly interesting for light confinement and surface sensitivity, as an alternative to the metal-based surface plasmon polaritons (SPP). However, most of the reported BSW platforms ...

The traditional process of finding a vacant parking slot is often inefficient: it increases driving time, traffic congestion, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. To address such problems, smart parking systems have ...

This manuscript proposes a novel linearized transconductor for AC amplifiers with a very low cut-off frequency. The cell uses an alternative solution that is based on a modified source-degeneration OTA, using two bulkdriven ...

This letter presents an experimental comparison between two linear-cavity erbiumdoped fiber lasers (EDFL) assisted by two different artificial backscatter fiber-based reflectors. Both reflectors were inscribed by femtosecond ...

The advent of context-aware environments and related applications demands a high degree of connectivity, with new spectral bands and related radio resource management functionalities in the current 5G bands and foreseen ...

The design of a micropower class AB operational transconductance amplifier with large dynamic current to quiescent current ratio is addressed. It is based on a compact and power-efficient adaptive biasing circuit and a ...

A CMOS fully integrated all-pass filter with an extremely low pole frequency of 2 Hz is introduced in this paper. It has 0.08-dB passband ripple and 0.029-mm2 Si area. It has 0.38-mW power consumption in strong inversion ...

The unpredictable nature of renewable energies is drawing attention to lithium-ion batteries. In order to make full utilization of these batteries, some research works are focused on the management of existing systems, ...
