Personalized mobile applications involve deploying the existing technologies to accommodate the differences between individuals. The existing applications have undertaken with the price and the location factors in mind. They show the same results regardless the personal special needs of consumers. The realization of the next generation of personalized systems will be a challenging task. For our research purpose, the personal special needs are defined as: (Religions, Cultures, Allergies, Health Condition, Diet, Preferences and Dislikes) needs that affect many aspects of a consumer life. In general there is no shortage of the restaurant apps available in the App_Store, However, many of these apps are based on regular factors such as price and location. They are not a great choice for consumers with personal special needs. This paper proposes a novel "Personalized Mobile Restaurant" PMR system. To meet the strict needs of consumers; a requirement driven design approach was followed. The proposed system was tested successfully and promising results were obtained.

without any batteries, a low input voltage converter is presented for a single-cell (SC) photovoltaic (PV) energy harvesting to alleviate the energy degradation due to shading effect. The proposed low voltage startup (LVS) circuit with low input voltage of 275 mV and less than 840 ms startup time achieves high voltage conversion ratio to supply a high accuracy bandgap reference. Experimental results show the maximum power throughput is up to 6 mW and the quiescent power is less than 650 mu W with integrated two buck-boost converters and two boost converters. The peak efficiency of the boost converter can be up to 75.8% for ultra-low voltage hearing aid systems.

This paper presents an online recursive ICA (ORICA) based real-time multi-channel EEG system on chip design with automatic eye blink artifact rejection. Since EEG signals are very feeble, they are easy to be contaminated by artifacts. Among all artifacts, eye blink artifact dose the most significant harm to EEG signals. For acquiring artifact free EEG signals, ICA is a popular method for artifacts extraction. After extraction of ICA, eye blink artifacts are rejected to improve the reliability of EEG applications such as brain computer interfaces (BCIs). To promote the feasibility and convenience of BCIs, a real-time ICA algorithm, ORICA, is adopted in this system. With ORICA, the system immediately finishes each ICA result after each sample time. After each ICA result is generated, the automatic eye blink artifact rejection and inverse ICA are performed to acquire eye blink artifact free EEG signals in real-time. For system portability and high integration, a front-end interface of commercial IC, ADS1298 provided by TI, and Bluetooth interface, UART, are implemented. The system is designed used TSMC 90nm CMOS technology with 8 channels EEG processing in 128 Hz sample rate of raw data and consumes 8.56 mW at 50 MHz clock rate. The design methods of the proposed EEG system are provided in this paper. The performance and processing results of the system are also shown to reach 0.2532 s latency after each EEG sample time.

In this paper, an arbitrary dual-band and miniaturized crossover is proposed using the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission structures. The proposed crossover is based on the two-section CRLH branch lines of three different characteristic impedances where one degree of design freedom can be used for implementation convenience. Combining the CRLH implementation approach with the even-and odd-mode analysis results, a simple design procedure is developed. To support our idea, a dual-band crossover operating at 0.9 GHz and 2.45 GHz was fabricated and tested. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulated data. Compared to the reported dual-band crossovers based on the printed-circuit-board (PCB) technology, our presented crossover shows a significant size reduction by about 59% with respect to the smallest footprint found in the literature.

A sol-gel method with a modified solvent comprising of three simple steps under low-temperature conditions was used to synthesize mono-disperse rutile TiO2 nanospheres with dandelion-like hierarchical morphology (DHRS) as a light-scattering layer for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). 1,2-Ethanediol (ED) served as a key retardation agent in the second step at 25 degrees C to slow the hydrolysis and condensation of the TiCl4 aqueous solution prepared in the first step at 0 degrees C; the subsequent nucleation of a rutile type phase occurred homogeneously in the third step at 70 degrees C to generate the rutile TiO2 nanospheres with highly uniform sizes. The spherical sizes of DHRS were well controlled with the volume ratios of the ED-water solvent mixture in the second step, for which the DHRS of diameter 650-200 nm were produced from the solvent system containing 5-25% ED. A detailed mechanism is presented to rationalize the formation of nanospheres of uniform size in six steps: 1) hydration and hydrolysis, 2) hydrolysis and retardation, 3) hydrolysis and condensation, 4) homogeneous nucleation, 5) aggregation and growth of rod-like crystals and 6) DHRS formation. The DSSC device with a scattering layer made of DHRS (size similar to 300 nm) performed comparably to that with a scattering layer made of a commercially available TiO2 paste, making this nano-material a cost-effective alternative for future DSSC commercialization.

Along with the shrinking CMOS process and rapid design scaling, both Iddq values and their variation of chips increase. As a result, the defect leakages become less significant when compared to the full-chip currents, making them more in-distinguishable for traditional Iddq diagnosis. Therefore, in this paper, a new approach called s-Iddq diagnosis is proposed for reinterpreting original data and diagnosing failing chips, intelligently. The overall flow consists of two key components, (1) s-Iddq transformation and (2) defect-syndrome matching: s-Iddq transformation first manifests defect leakages by excluding both the process-variation and design-scaling impacts. Later, defect-syndrome matching applies data mining with a pre-built library to identify types and locations of defects on the fly. Experimental results show that an average of 93.68% accuracy with a resolution of 1.75 defect suspects can be achieved on ISCAS'89 and IWLS'05 benchmark circuits using a 45nm technology, demonstrating the effectiveness of s-Iddq diagnosis.

高介電材料已經運用在 45 奈米的互補式場效電晶體、動態隨機存取記憶體與非揮發性記憶體。根據Intel 的共同創造者，高登摩爾的說法「從1960 年後期，高介電材料與金屬閘極材料對傳統使用結晶矽的閘極電晶體有了重大改變」。因此，根據高登摩爾的理論，運用此技術將有可能獲得諾貝爾獎。在之前，我們是使用高介電材料Al2O3 (發表於Intel. MBE Conference 1998；Symp.

In this paper, we propose a green radio resource allocation (GRRA) scheme for LTE-A downlink systems with coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission to support multimedia traffic. It is a crucial issue to find a balance between throughput maximization and transmission power minimization, especially when the QoS requirement guarantee for multimedia traffic is considered. The GRRA scheme defines a green radio utility function by considering required transmission power, assigned modulation order, and coordinated transmission nodes. Based on this utility function, it coordinates transmission nodes to deliver data on suitable subchannels with suitable transmission power. Simulation results show that, the GRRA scheme can save the transmission power by 33.9% and 40.1%, as compared to the adaptive radio resource allocation scheme [5] with CoMP and the utility-based radio resource allocation scheme [6] with CoMP, respectively. Besides, it enhances the system throughput by 5.5% and improves the Jain fairness index for best effort users by 155% over these two schemes.

在目前的生物醫學研究範疇中，生物分子與奈米介面的物理特性已儼然成為當今最重要的課題，尤其於組織工程與藥物釋放具有極大的應用價值。當奈米級表面與蛋白質進行物理性的交互作用，所產生的影響可能具有改變蛋白質結構形態，並導致蛋白質功能的未知變化。然而相關的主要結構性與物理性變化的研究至今仍處早期摸索階段。生物分子與奈米介面的交互作用有可能是專一性或非專一性的結合，而在本實驗室先前的研究發現，免疫球蛋白具有專一性辨識奈米金粒子的特性。(Huang, Chen et al. 2006; Chen, Hung et al. 2008; Chen, Hung et al. 2010; Hung, Pan et al. 2010)我們也發現奈米金粒子對於溶菌酶的物理性作用為非專一性反應，並影響溶菌酶的功能變化與外部構形，經由圓二色光譜(CD)分析得到，在溶菌酶與奈米金粒子作用後的確改變了蛋白質自身的二級結構，而構形的改變程度則取決於奈米金粒子的粒徑大小，尤其當奈米金粒徑小於2~3 奈米，其構形變化有明顯的提升。經NMR 液相光譜分析亦顯示溶菌酶蛋白質結構會被奈米金粒所影響，在TOXY 以及COSY 光譜分析結果中，溶菌酶與2nm 奈米金結合後在指紋區有輕微的頻率性改變，意味著溶菌酶的蛋白質構形變換是由於與2nm 奈米金反應後的結果。為了進一步研究奈米金粒子對溶菌酶蛋白質結構的影響，我們以 2nm、5nm 奈米金與溶菌酶共結晶的觀點作為探討，藉由結晶構形分子模型的分析可得到主要的結構變化。然而目前的實驗結果，仍難以對奈米金誘導蛋白質產生物理性結構變化現象作出一個完整的邏輯性規則。因此為了探討並歸類出奈米金與蛋白質構形之間的作用機制，我們利用胜肽分子與奈米金作結合，並以CD 光譜分析後發現蛋白質螺旋結構有顯著的改變。接續的實驗模型將以探討胜肽- 奈米金複合物的摺疊結構及熱力學為主軸。本計劃主要目的 1.分析胜肽分子與不同粒徑奈米金粒子接合後的分子構形變化。 2.研究以物理性熱力學參數改變胜肽分子與奈米金粒子的結合反應。 3.探討胜肽分子與奈米金粒子的動力學機制。

Sample preparation is an essential processing step in most biochemical applications. Various reactants are mixed together to produce a solution with the target concentration. Since reactants generally take a notable part of the cost in a bioassay, their usage should be minimized whenever possible. In this paper, we propose an algorithm, CoDOS, to prepare the target solution with many reactants using common dilution operation sharing on digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs). CoDOS first represents the given target concentration as a recipe matrix, and then identifies rectangles in the matrix, where each rectangle indicates an opportunity of dilution operation sharing for reactant minimization. Experimental results demonstrate that CoDOS can achieve up to 27% of reactant saving as compared with the bit-scanning method in single-target sample preparation. Moreover, even if CoDOS is not developed for multi-target sample preparation, it still outperforms the recent state-of-the-art algorithm, RSMA. Hence, it is convincing that CoDOS is a better alternative for many-reactant sample preparation.
