The book has two intentions. First, it assembles the latest research in the field of medical imaging technology in one place. Detailed descriptions of current state-of-the-art medical imaging systems (comprised of x-ray CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine) and data processing techniques are discussed. Information is provided that will give interested engineers and scientists a solid foundation from which to build with additional resources. Secondly, it exposes the reader to myriad applications that medical imaging technology has enabled.
Although there have been extensive developments in computing and communications needs of integrated microsystems, the sensors required to conduct advanced and integrated tasks are only now seeing transformational change. With their huge potential interfacing applications for biological and medical fields, sensors will soon become ubiquitous. Focusing heavily on practical applications but remaining light on physics and math, this book addresses the developments necessary to make truly integrated sensors a reality in physical, biological, optical, and chemical sensing, as well as future micro- and nanotechnologies.
For decades, people have sought to harvest energy from natural sources. Lately, climate change has popularized solar or photovoltaic technology, while piezoelectric technology is being developed to power handheld devices, and thermoelectric technology is being explored to convert wasted engine heat into electricity. Written by experts from academia and industry, Energy Harvesting with Functional Materials and Microsystems presents current research and explains the field from a materials and device perspective, with resulting technologies capable of enabling low-power implantable sensors or large-scale electrical grids.
This book explores issues in designing high-performance embedded computer systems and networks. The emphasis is on the fundamental concepts and analytical techniques that are applicable to a range of applications, rather than on specific system components, software, or system-level integration. Topics include the co-design of embedded systems, code optimization, power and performance trade-offs, and benchmarks for evaluating embedded systems and their components. Featuring contributions by researchers from around the world, it offers a global view of groundbreaking technologies and applications.
From power electronics to power integrated circuits, smart power technologies to GaN power HEMTs, Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation provides a complete picture of the power management and semiconductor industry. Instead of abstract theories and daunting equations, the text uses TCAD simulations to explain the design of integrated power devices. The book not only describes the physics inside devices such as LDMOSFETs, LIGBTs, and super junction LDMOSFETs but also delivers a simple introduction to power management systems essential to engineers and students.
This book is a collection of chapters containing carefully selected topics on the most recent advancements in semiconductor radiation detector technologies. Relatively new detector materials, such as CdZTe and Cr compensated GaAs, are introduced, along with emerging applications of radiation detectors.
The book is divided into three sections: devices and technology for magnetic sensing, industrial applications (automotive/navigation), and emerging applications. It covers transmission speed sensor ICs, dynamic differential Hall ICs, chopped Hall switches, programmable linear output Hall sensors, low power Hall ICs, and electromagnetic levitation.
The book provides invaluable insight into the latest developments in point-of-care and laboratory diagnostic devices that are based on microfluidic principles. It presents a selection of important topics, making it an excellent introductory reading for graduate students in bioengineering and related disciplines.
This book describes the effects of ionizing radiation on modern semiconductor devices. It also discusses hardening-by-design solutions for custom chips. The text covers a range of devices, from memories and microprocessors to mixed-analog components and imagers. It addresses the experimental aspects as well as the simulation of radiation effects in electronic devices. It deals with several environments of interest, including terrestrial, space, and high-energy physics. The book provides a solid theoretical background, yet is practical enough to assist in making effective use of beam time.
This book delivers a comprehensive treatment of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) time-mode circuits and systems. Featuring contributions from leading experts, the text begins by presenting a critical comparison of voltage-mode, current-mode, and time-mode signaling for mixed-mode signal processing. It then covers the fundamentals of time-mode signal processing, such as voltage-to-time converters, time-to-digital converters, all-digital phase-locked loops, and frequency synthesizers. It discusses time-mode delta-sigma-based analog-to-digital converters, placing a great emphasis on time-mode quantizers. It also includes a detailed study of ultra-low-power integrated time-mode temperature measurement systems.
This book addresses concepts essential to biomaterial production methods and cell and material interactions. Featuring contributions from molecular biologists, chemists, and material scientists, the text reflects the interdisciplinary nature of bioengineering, covering topics such as biosensing, immunology, and controlled delivery. It explores the cell and material interface and its engineering at length scales ranging from the nano to the macro, providing practical examples. The book explains the role of the cell and material interface in the context of tissue engineering, nanoparticles, natural polymers, and more.
This introductory, yet in-depth, book explains the physical principles of electronic imaging and sensing and provides the reader with the information necessary to understand the design, operation, and practical applications of contemporary electronic imaging and sensing systems. The text has strong practical focus and contains examples of biomedical applications of optical electronic imaging and sensing. Each chapter draws upon the authorsΓÇÖ extensive research, teaching, and industrial experience and provides a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a convenient reference for scientists and engineers working in the field of electronic imaging and sensing.
