CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology continues to be the
dominant technology for fabricating integrated circuits (ICs or chips). This dominance
will likely continue for the next 25 years and perhaps even longer. Why? CMOS
technology is reliable, manufacturable, low power, low cost, and, perhaps most
importantly, scalable. The fact that silicon integrated circuit technology is scalable was
observed and described in 1965 by Intel founder Gordon Moore. His observations are
now referred to as Moore's law and state that the number of devices on a chip will double
every 18 to 24 months. While originally not specific to CMOS, Moore's law has been
fulfilled over the years by scaling down the feature size in CMOS technology. Whereas
the gate lengths of early CMOS transistors were in the micrometer range (long-channel
devices) the feature sizes of current CMOS devices are in the nanometer range
(short-channel devices).
To encompass both the long- and short-channel CMOS technologies in this book,
a two-path approach to custom CMOS integrated circuit design is adopted. Design
techniques are developed for both and then compared. This comparison gives readers
deep insight into the circuit design process. While the square-law equations used to
describe MOSFET operation that students learn in an introductory course in
microelectronics can be used for analog design in a long-channel CMOS process they are
not useful when designing in short-channel, or nanometer, CMOS technology. The
behavior of the devices in a nanometer CMOS process is quite complex. Simple
equations to describe the devices' behavior are not possible. Rather electrical plots are
used to estimate biasing points and operating behavior. It is still useful, however, for the
student to use mathematical rigor when learning circuit analysis and design and, hence,
the reason for the two-path approach. Hand calculations can be performed using a
long-channel CMOS technology with the results then used to describe how to design in a
nano-CMOS process.
This book provides a practical guide to monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology and design techniques, introducing the basic MMIC technology, outlining advantages over other components, and giving foundational information and design methods for a wide range of components to enable engineers to start designing circuits. It also provides insight into MMIC layout, processing, and test constraints, as well as foundry practices and economics for using MMICs. The book assumes an engineering background and is intended for RF/microwave designers, researchers, and managers requiring understanding of MMIC design principles, capabilities, and production.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.

10. Preface
Advance-level vibration topics are presented here, including lumped-mass and distributed-
mass systems in the context of the appropriate mathematics, along with topics from control
that are useful in vibration analysis and design. This text is intended for use in a second
course in vibration, or in a combined course in vibration and control. This book is also
intended as a reference for the field of structural control and could be used as a text in
structural control. Control topics are introduced at beginner level, with no knowledge of
controls needed to read the book.
The heart of this manuscript was first developed in the early 1980s and published in 1989
under the title Vibration with Control, Measurement and Stability. That book went out of
print in 1994. However, the text remained in use at several universities, and all used copies
seem to have disappeared from online sources in about 1998. Since then I have had yearly
requests for copying rights. Hence, at the suggestions of colleagues, I have revised the older
book to produce this text. The manuscript is currently being used in a graduate course at
Virginia Tech in the Mechanical Engineering Department. As such, presentation materials
for each chapter and a complete solutions manual are available for use by instructors.
The text is an attempt to place vibration and control on a firm mathematical basis and
connect the disciplines of vibration, linear algebra, matrix computations, control, and applied
functional analysis. Each chapter ends with notes on further references and suggests where
more detailed accounts can be found. In this way I hope to capture a ‘big picture’ approach
without producing an overly large book. The first chapter presents a quick introduction
using single-degree-of-freedom systems (second-order ordinary differential equations) to
the following chapters, which extend these concepts to multiple-degree-of-freedom systems
(matrix theory, systems of ordinary differential equations) and distributed-parameter systems
(partial differential equations and boundary value problems). Numerical simulations and
matrix computations are also presented through the use of MatlabTM
. New material has
been added on the use of Matlab, and a brief introduction to nonlinear vibration is given.
New problems and examples have been added, as well as a few new topics.

Kaihong Wang, and Henry H. Sodano are owed special thanks for helping with the figures.
I would also like to thank my past PhD students who have used the earlier version of the book,
as well as Pablo Tarazaga, Dr Curt Kothera, M. Austin Creasy, and Armaghan Salehian who
read the draft and made wonderful corrections and suggestions. Professor Daniel P. Hess
of the University of South Florida provided invaluable suggestions and comments for which
I am grateful. I would like to thank Ms Vanessa McCoy who retyped the manuscript from
the hard copy of the previous version of this book and thus allowed me to finish writing
electronically.
Thanks are also owed to Wendy Hunter of Wiley for the opportunity to publish this
manuscript and the encouragement to finish it. I would also like to extend my thanks and
appreciation to my wife Cathy Little, son Daniel, and daughters Jennifer and Angela (and
their families) for putting up with my absence while I worked on this manuscript.
