Low-Power, Low-Voltage SRAM Circuits Design For Nanometric CMOS Technologies
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-30)Embedded SRAM memory is a vital component in modern SoCs. More than 80% of the System-on-Chip (SoC) die area is often occupied by SRAM arrays. As such, system reliability and yield is largely governed by the SRAM's performance ... -
LSTM Based Remaining Useful Life Prediction for Lithium-Ion EV Batteries
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-19)Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in electric vehicles (EVs) because of their high energy density, ability to provide good efficiency, and being lightweight. Predicting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is critical in ... -
Lumped Elements Loaded Miniaturized Antenna for Bluetooth Enabled Hearing Aid Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)Hearing loss is one of the most common physical and sensory impairments among all ages, especially elders. Hearing loss may affect only one ear or both ears of a patient at a different degree of impairment. This asymmetrical ... -
MAC Protocol Design for Parallel Link Rendezvous in Ad Hoc Cognitive Radio Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-26)The most significant challenge for next wireless generation is to work opportunistically on the spectrum without a fixed spectrum allocation. Cognitive Radio (CR) is the candidate technology to utilize spectrum white space, ... -
