This study presents the simultaneous generation of two uncorrelated and continuous high-quality random bitstreams originating from a single physical system based on confined, nonthermal electrochemical microplasma operating under atmospheric conditions. The randomness is intrinsically inherited from the time-resolved electrical current and optical emission intensities of the microplasma system

Development and improvement of nanosensors have been active research areas over the last few decades. Many materials and compounds have been investigated for their sensing properties. This work is concerned with developing a new sensing layer for gas sensors based on chitosan as a polymer enhanced with graphene as a nanofiller. The graphene used for preparing the chitosan solution was at 0.1, 0.5

This article proposes a unified approach for hidden attractors control in fractional-order chaotic systems. Hidden attractors have small basins of attractions and are very sensitive to initial conditions and parameters. That is, they can be easily drifted from chaotic behavior into another type of dynamics, which is not suitable for encryption applications that require quite wide initial

This article proposes a numerical solution approach and Field Programmable Gate Array implementation of a delayed fractional-order system. The proposed method is amenable to a sufficiently efficient hardware realization. The system's numerical solution and hardware realization have two requirements. First, the delay terms are implemented by employing LookUp Tables to keep the already required

This paper presents a novel low cost design for a 3-RRR Planar Parallel Manipulator (PPM). These manipulators proved their superiority over serial manipulators due to their speed, precision and smaller work space where the work space area is accounted for in the design to ensure that the robot is performing its task in a smooth and simple way without getting into any singularity points. The

The Cole–Davidson function is an efficient tool for describing the tissue behavior, but the conventional methods of approximation are not applicable due the form of this function. In order to overcome this problem, a novel scheme for approximating the Cole–Davidson function, based on the utilization of a curve fitting procedure offered by the MATLAB software, is introduced in this work. The

Carrier mobility for quantum dot infrared photodetectors is considered as one of the critical parameters to determine many important device’s performance parameters such as the electrical conductivity, drift velocity, dark current and photocurrent. In this paper a complete theoretical model of the carrier mobility for semispherical quantum dot structures is developed. This model is based on the

Implantable probes with built-in light emitters have a promising potential for a range of applications, in particular optogenetic neural stimulation. However, where soft encapsulation methods are used, lifetime will be a function of the quality of encapsulation and the driving mechanism. We have found that a balanced driving mechanism - whereby the integral voltage on encapsulated contacts, can

In this work, a generic impedance modeling technique is proposed. The technique is able to identify a circuit model that is most suitable for fitting measured impedance magnitude data using a genetic algorithm solver as well as the optimum circuit model parameters. Experimentally measured and simulated data sets with different noise levels are used to validate the technique. © 2020 Elsevier GmbH

The paper aims to propose three different inverse memristor emulators based on serveral active blocks. One of the presented emulator realizes employing second generation current conveyor (CCII) andcanalog voltage multiplier with passive elements. The other two introduced emulators are designed using cureent feedback operational amplifier (CFOA) with two switches or two BJT transistor. One of the
