Dynamic Analysis of Railway track and SSI effect
Abstract: The analysis of dynamic behavior of bridge structures that are subjected to moving loads has been one of the research interests in recent years. Specifically in railway bridges, Resonance occurs when the load frequency is equal to a multiple of natural frequency of the structure. Resonance vibrations have been observed in railway bridges especially subjected to High Speed Lines. They are caused mainly because of two reasons one is the …

Leveraging cross-coupled domino logic for low-power, two-port SRAM with resilience to Differential Power Analysis (DPA) attacks
Abstract: Side channel attacks have become a serious threat to embedded and cryptographic systems. These attacks can be deployed by capturing the power consumption traces or electromagnetic radiations from the power and communication channels. SRAM is vulnerable to such attacks. Power consumed by SRAM for various read and write operations can express the information about bits being read from or written into the bit-cells which eventually exposes the instructions and data …

Overview of Innovative Battery Management System
Abstract: In battery-powered technologies, also including (hybrid) electric vehicles and portable electronics, the battery management system (BMS) arises as a crucial network element. Many battery-operated industrial and commercial equipment use battery management systems (BMSs) to increase battery efficiency and enable non-destructive estimate of battery state. However, present BMSs are unable to control batteries adequately, which has an impact on the usability of products, due to the inaccurate parameter assessment of old …

Design and Validation of Low Power High Speed area effective comparator using CMOS Technology
Abstract: The most fundamental arithmetic comparisons in a digital comparator involve comparing two numbers that are greater than, less than, or equal to each other. While doing enormous level arithmetic comparisons, a digital comparator needs more space, which results in higher power consumption and a delayed response. This can be solved by using N-bit comparator with two modules using 45GPDK CMOS Technology. An N-bit comparator can operate at extremely high speeds …
