Metallic Nanoparticles Come to the Rescue of DRAM

4 Σεπτεμβρίου 2018 by paulkokos

paulkokos

The addition of nanoparticles into DRAMs eliminates interference between neighboring cellsWhen data is accessed at very high-speed in dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cells (above 1 gigahertz), data corruption can occur. This phenomenon, known as row hammering (RH) fail, basically means that there has been data corruption due to interference among…

Shielding Effectiveness of Expanded Metal Foils

Careful circuit design can minimize EMI, but additional shielding measures are often required.Expanded metal foils are versatile, effective EMI shielding materials. EMFs are formed from thin metal foils, creating a lightweight, strong and flexible sheet material. Expanded copper foil is commonly used for EMI shielding, but aluminum, nickel, Monel and…

We have fiber to the home, but fiber to the processor is still a problem Photo: Getty Images If you think we’re on the cusp of a technological revolution today, imagine what it felt like in the mid-1980s. Silicon chips used transistors with micrometer-size features. Fiber-optic systems were zipping trillions…

This Lens-less Camera Is Built Specially for AI and Computer Vision Programs

29 Αυγούστου 2018 by paulkokos

Engineers have developed a "see-through" camera from a pane of glass, a photodetector, and some really clever softwareCameras used to be their own devices with lenses and film and trips to the drug store to get the pictures developed. Then, they disappeared into phones, tablets, laptops, and video game consoles.…
