TL;DR: In this article, a technique that combines the high-frequency behavior of a single-stage op amp with the high DC gain of a multistage design is presented, which is based on the concept that a very high-DC gain can be achieved in combination with any unity-gain frequency achievable by a (folded-) cascode design.
Abstract: A technique that combines the high-frequency behavior of a single-stage op amp with the high DC gain of a multistage design is presented. This technique is based on the concept that a very high DC gain can be achieved in combination with any unity-gain frequency achievable by a (folded-) cascode design. Bode-plot measurements for an op amp realized in a 1.6- mu m process show a DC gain of 90 dB and a unity-gain frequency of 116 MHz (16-pF load). Settling measurements with a feedback factor of 1/3 show a fast single-pole settling behavior corresponding to a closed-loop bandwidth of 18 MHz (35-pF load) and a settling accuracy better than 0.03%. This technique does not cause any loss in output voltage swing. At a supply voltage of 5.0 V an output swing of about 4.2 V is achieved without loss in DC gain. The above advantages are achieved with a 30% increase in chip area and a 15% increase in power consumption. >

TL;DR: The columnar microstructures commonly observed in crystalline and amorphous thin films possess many morphological features in common, such as a low density or void network that surrounds an array of parallel uniform-sized rods of higher density as discussed by the authors.

06 Sep 2000TL;DR: In this paper, the use of current mirror circuits improved uniformity of light outputs from the display elements in an active matrix electroluminescent display device, which is an array of current-driven ELC display elements.
Abstract: An active matrix electroluminescent display device has an array of current-driven electroluminescent display elements (20), for example comprising organic electroluminescent material, whose operations are each controlled by an associated switching means (10) to which a drive signal for determining a desired light output is supplied in a respective address period and which is arranged to drive the display element according to the drive signal following the address period. Each switching means comprises a current mirror circuit (24, 25, 30, 32) which samples and stores the drive signal with one transistor (24) of the circuit controlling the drive current through the display element (20) and having its gate connected to a storage capacitance (30) on which a voltage determined by the drive signal is stored. Through the use of current mirror circuits improved uniformity of light outputs from the display elements in the array is obtained.

TL;DR: The experimental hole mobilities extracted from both types of devices, although based on a single polymeric semiconductor, can differ by 3 orders of magnitude, demonstrating the strong dependence of the hole mobility on the charge carrier density in disordered semiconducting polymers.
Abstract: A systematic study of the hole mobility in hole-only diodes and field-effect transistors based on poly(2-methoxy-5-(3('),7(')-dimethyloctyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene) and on amorphous poly(3-hexyl thiophene) has been performed as a function of temperature and applied bias. The experimental hole mobilities extracted from both types of devices, although based on a single polymeric semiconductor, can differ by 3 orders of magnitude. We demonstrate that this apparent discrepancy originates from the strong dependence of the hole mobility on the charge carrier density in disordered semiconducting polymers.

TL;DR: The aims of this research were to develop a method to acquire 4D CT images from a spiral CT scan using an external respiratory signal and to examine the potential utility of4D CT imaging.
Abstract: Four-dimensional (4D) methods strive to achieve highly conformal radiotherapy, particularly for lung and breast tumours, in the presence of respiratory-induced motion of tumours and normal tissues. Four-dimensional radiotherapy accounts for respiratory motion during imaging, planning and radiation delivery, and requires a 4D CT image in which the internal anatomy motion as a function of the respiratory cycle can be quantified. The aims of our research were (a) to develop a method to acquire 4D CT images from a spiral CT scan using an external respiratory signal and (b) to examine the potential utility of 4D CT imaging. A commercially available respiratory motion monitoring system provided an 'external' tracking signal of the patient's breathing. Simultaneous recording of a TTL 'X-Ray ON' signal from the CT scanner indicated the start time of CT image acquisition, thus facilitating time stamping of all subsequent images. An over-sampled spiral CT scan was acquired using a pitch of 0.5 and scanner rotation time of 1.5 s. Each image from such a scan was sorted into an image bin that corresponded with the phase of the respiratory cycle in which the image was acquired. The complete set of such image bins accumulated over a respiratory cycle constitutes a 4D CT dataset. Four-dimensional CT datasets of a mechanical oscillator phantom and a patient undergoing lung radiotherapy were acquired. Motion artefacts were significantly reduced in the images in the 4D CT dataset compared to the three-dimensional (3D) images, for which respiratory motion was not accounted. Accounting for respiratory motion using 4D CT imaging is feasible and yields images with less distortion than 3D images. 4D images also contain respiratory motion information not available in a 3D CT image.
