NANO TECHNOLOGY

Image
NANO TECHNOLOGY      Nanotechnology is the science and technology of designing, producing, and controlling materials and devices at the nanoscale , typically between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm) .      At this very small size, materials can show special electrical, optical, chemical, and mechanical properties What makes nanotechnology special? When materials become extremely small, their properties can change. They may become stronger, lighter, more chemically reactive, or better at conducting electricity or heat . Scientists can take advantage of these properties to develop new materials and technologies. Block Diagram Explanation 1.      Nanomaterials/Nanostructures: Materials are engineered at the 1–100 nm scale. 2.      Synthesis/Fabrication: Nanomaterials are produced using techniques such as chemical, physical, or biological methods. 3.      Characterization: Their size, structure, ...

Unlike standard electro-mechanical relays (EMRs) and contactors which use coils, magnetic fields, springs and a variety of mechanical contacts to control and switch a power supply.  The  Solid State Relay , or  SSR  as it is more commonly known, has no moving parts but instead uses ...

Implantable mechanical devices

Image
Within 20 years, implantable devices will increasingly incorporate electronics to enable noninvasive assessment. Current cardiac stents simply revascularize arteries; future stents may include sensors that use radio-frequency identification (RFID) to report vessel status wirelessly when scanned over the chest. Sensorized artificial discs will be implanted in the hip, spine, or knee to noninvasively monitor load and verify proper function, as shown in Figure 2. If excessive load or malfunction is detected, the sensors will alert the patient and caregivers so corrective measures can be taken promptly. High-performance sensors have not been widely used in implants because proteins and the immune system can attack devices, limiting long-term efficacy. Over the next 20 years, cellular biology approaches will reduce immune recognition of sensors as foreign bodies. Biocompatible materials will be essential for all implantable devices.  

CHIPLET-BASED VLSI DESIGN

  CHIPLET-BASED VLSI DESIGN           Chiplet-based VLSI design divides a large System-on-Chip (SoC) into several smaller functional dies called chiplets . Each chiplet performs a specific function and is integrated together inside a single package.
