Design and Verification of Low Power High Speed Voltage Level Shifter Based on Pass Transistor Methodology
Abstract: This study explains how a voltage level shifter (LS) can be built using a Wilson current mirror level shifter (WCMLS) with a mirrored output. The proposed fix avoids WCMLS's typical issue of requiring a mirror with a size ratio that is too large. It's a space- and cost-saver. The proposed LS requires less components than its modern versions and uses only tiny components, taking up even less space. The proposed …

Comparative Analysis of FD-DMDG SON MOSFET over FD DMDG SOI MOSFET
Abstract: AbstractIn the recent past, Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) shows better device performance in comparison to bulk Silicon devices but it still suffers from different short channel effects (SCEs). Recently a structure, Silicon on Nothing (SON), has been suggested and investigated. It is structured to be capable of substantial reduction of SCEs and present better electrical characteristics in comparison to SOI. The absence of the buried layer results in the reduced electrostatic coupling …

Development of A Systematic Strategy for Maintenance of Rural Road Network
Abstract: The lack of year round access to many rural communities is a serious constraint to social and economic development of rural road. Poor access limits the effectiveness of agricultural, commercial, educational and health initiatives though unreliable travel and high unit transport costs for crops, goods, services and people.. However, experiences have shown that these roads, although relatively cheap to construct, are often an unsustainable maintenance burden for many rural communities …
