Power systems for modern complementary metaloxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology are becoming harder to design. One design methodology is to identify a target impedance to be met across a broad frequency range and specify components to meet that impedance. The impedance versus frequency profiles of the power distribution system components including the voltage regulator module, bulk decoupling capacitors and high frequency ceramic capacitors are defined and reduced to simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) models. A sufficient number of capacitors are placed in parallel to meet the target impedance. Ceramic capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) and ESL are extremely important parameters in determining how many capacitors are required. SPICE models are then analyzed in the time domain to find the response to load transients.
In this prospective cohort study, primary open reduction and internal plate fixation of acute displaced midshaft clavicular fractures resulted in improved outcomes and a decreased rate of nonunion and symptomatic malunion compared with nonoperative treatment.
Time-dependent quantum wave packet dynamics study is carried out to investigate the initial state selected channel specific reactivity of H + LiH collisional system on a new and more accurate ab initio potential energy surface developed by Wernli et al. [J. Phys. Chem. A 113, 1121 (2009)]. The H + LiH reaction proceeds through LiH depletion and H-exchange paths. While the former path is highly exoergic (by ∼2.258 eV), the latter path is thermoneutral. State selected and energy resolved integral reaction cross sections and thermal rate constants are reported and compared with the literature data. The reactivity of the LiH depletion channel is found to be greater than the H-exchange channel. Rotational excitation of the reagent LiH molecule causes a decrease of reactivity of both the channels. On the other hand, the vibrational excitation of the reagent LiH decreases the reactivity of the LiH depletion channel and increases the reactivity of the H-exchange channel. The effect of isotopic substitution (H by D) on the reaction dynamics is also examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
