AC amplifiers with ultra-low corner frequency by using bootstrapping
A novel architecture for an AC (i.e. high-pass) amplifier is proposed allowing a drastic reduction of the cutoff frequency to the sub-Hertz range. It builds upon the classic AC configuration with a high gain amplifier and ... -
AC coupled amplifier with a resistance multiplier technique for ultra-low frequency operation
This paper proposes a novel, tunable AC coupled capacitive feedback amplifier, exhibiting an ultra-low high pass corner frequency. This is accomplished by actively boosting the output resistive value of a MOS transistor ... -
Accumulating priority queues versus pure priority queues for managing patients in emergency departments
Improving the quality of healthcare in emergency departments (EDs) is at the forefront of many hospital managers’ efforts, as they strive to plan and implement better patient flow strategies. In this paper, a new approach ... -
Acoustic lock: position and orientation trapping of non-spherical sub-wavelength particles in mid-air using a single-axis acoustic levitator
We demonstrate acoustic trapping in both position and orientation of a non-spherical particle of sub-wavelength size in mid-air. To do so, we multiplex in time a pseudo-one-dimensional vertical standing wave and a ... -
Acuity-based rotational patient-to-physician assignment in an emergency department using electronic health records in triage
Emergency department (ED) operational metrics generated by a new acuity-based rotational patient-to-physician assignment (ARPA) algorithm are compared with those obtained with a simple rotational patient assignment (SRPA) ... -
Addressing the impact of surface roughness on epsilon-near-zero silicon carbide substrates
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media have been very actively investigated due to their unconventional wave phenomena and strengthened nonlinear response. However, the technological impact of ENZ media will be determined by the ... -
Addressing the overlapping data problem in classification using the one-vs-one decomposition strategy
Learning good-performing classifiers from data with easily separable classes is not usually a difficult task for most of the algorithms. However, problems affecting classifier performance may arise when samples from different ... -
Advanced phase-change intermediate heat exchanger development for multistage thermoelectric heat pumps
The need to reach a full energy decarbonisation is well known. Heating and cooling consumption is almost half of the global energy end-use. Thus, development of low-carbon and highly efficient power-to-heat technologies ... -
