Pastor Serrano, O. (author), Dong, Peng (author), Huang, Charles (author), Xing, Lei (author), Perko, Z. (author)Background: Fast dose calculation is critical for online and real-time adaptive therapy workflows. While modern physics-based dose algorithms must compromise accuracy to achieve low computation times, deep learning models can potentially perform dose prediction tasks with both high fidelity and speed. Purpose: We present a deep learning...journal article 2023

Dematties, Dario (author), Wen, C. (author), Zhang, Shi Li (author)Pulse-like signals are ubiquitous in the field of single molecule analysis, e.g., electrical or optical pulses caused by analyte translocations in nanopores. The primary challenge in processing pulse-like signals is to capture the pulses in noisy backgrounds, but current methods are subjectively based on a user-defined threshold for pulse...journal article 2022

Zhang, Youming (author), Wei, Zhennan (author), Tang, Xusheng (author), Zhang, L. (author), Huang, Fengyi (author)This letter presents a convenient approach based on the two-port kQ-product theory to analyze the influence of interwinding capacitive coupling on the efficiency of the transformer. It is demonstrated that a transformer with proper size can benefit from the interwinding capacitive coupling to maximize its efficiency at a desired frequency....journal article 2022

Ghaffarian Niasar, M. (author), Zhao, W. (author)Nonlinear voltage distribution along the transformer winding during a lightning overvoltage can cause severe electric stress specially to the area of the winding close to the high voltage terminals. For high voltage transformers different methods such as interleaved winding, electrostatic shield wires, and wound-in shield wires are implemented...conference paper 2020

Shahmohammadi, M. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)In this paper, we propose a method to broaden a tuning range of a CMOS LC-tank oscillator without sacrificing its area. The extra tuning range is achieved by forcing a strongly coupled transformer-based tank into a common-mode resonance at a much higher frequency than in its main differential-mode oscillation. The oscillator employs separate...journal article 2017

Zong, Z. (author), Babaie, M. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)This paper proposes a mm-wave frequency generation technique that improves its phase noise (PN) performance and power efficiency. The main idea is that a fundamental 20 GHz signal and its sufficiently strong third harmonic at 60 GHz are generated simultaneously in a single oscillator. The desired 60 GHz local oscillator (LO) signal is delivered...journal article 2016

Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Wijekoon, T (author), Panosyan, A (author), Bärthlein, EM (author)High penetration of distributed generation (DG) has led to frequent voltage fluctuations in the distribution network. This paper describes the design of a partially rated, power-electronic-assisted onload tap-changing (OLTC) autotransformer. Positive and negative compensation of the grid voltage can be achieved on feeders that have high...journal article 2015

Alavi, S.M. (author)Due to the severe cost pressure of consumer electronics, a migration to an advanced nanoscale CMOS processes, which is primarily developed for fast and low-power digital circuits operating at low supply voltages, is necessary, but it forces wireless RF transceivers to exploit more and more digital circuitry. These basic CMOS properties tend to...doctoral thesis 2014
