Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Readout Integrated Circuit for Imaging Applications
Abstract: In this paper presents a novel continuous-time simultaneous-readout scheme for active imaging systems based on orthogonal modulation of photo detector signals. The superimposed-continuous-time approach presented here differs from the conventional scheduled-discrete-time scheme in that the photo detector signals are summed in a common bus concurrently and then converted to voltage levels for digitization. We illustrate that our proposed architecture may be profitable. Predominantly, in solicitations, the bandwidth necessities for a …

Analysis of Tall Structures for Different Stiffness Ratios of Columns to Shear Walls and Column Shortening
Abstract: Differential axial shortening in a structure causes axial force redistribution among columns and walls, and introduces additional forces in the horizontal members such as beams and slab. Hence, it needs to be considered in the design, especially for medium to high-rise buildings. The best way to illustrate differential column shortening is to conduct floor-by-floor analysis, generally known as construction sequence analysis. Commercial software ETABS is available for conducting sequential analysis. …
