Arnold © 2020 Andrew J. Arnold Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2020 The dissertation of Andrew J. Arnold was reviewed and approved by the following: Thomas Jackson Professor of Electrical Engineering Co-Chair of Committee Saptarshi Das Assistant Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics Dissertation Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Swaroop Ghosh Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Rongming Chu Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Sukwon Choi Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Kultegin Aydin Professor of Electrical Engineering Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering ii Abstract The scaling of silicon field effect transistors (FETs) has progressed exponentially following Moore’s law, and is nearing fundamental limitations related to the materials and physics of the devices. Alternative materials are required to overcome these limitations leading to increasing interest in two dimensional (2D) materials, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in particular, due to their atomically thin nature which provides an advantage in scalability. Numerous investigations within the literature have explored various applications of these materials and assessed their viability as a replacement for silicon FETs. This dissertation focuses on several applications of 2D FETs as well as an exploration into one of the most promising methods to improve their performance. Neuromorphic computing is an alternative method to standard computing architectures that operates similarly to a biological nervous system. These systems are composed of neurons and operate based on pulses called action potentials.

  • High-Throughput Measurement of the Contact Resistance of Metal Electrode Materials and Uncertainty Estimation
    electronics Article High-Throughput Measurement of the Contact Resistance of Metal Electrode mAterials and Uncertainty Estimation Chao Zhang and Wanbin Ren * School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 October 2020; Accepted: 4 December 2020; Published: 6 December 2020 Abstract: Low and stable contact resistance of metal electrode mAterials is mAinly demanded for reliable and long lifetime electrical engineering. A novel test rig is developed in order to realize the high-throughput measurement of the contact resistance with the adjustable mechanical load force and load current. The contact potential drop is extracted accurately based on the proposed periodical current chopping (PCC) method in addition to the sliding window average filtering algorithm. The instrument is calibrated by standard resistors of 1 mW, 10 mW, and 100 mW with the accuracy of 0.01% and the associated measurement uncertainty is evaluated systematically. Furthermore, the contact resistance between standard indenter and rivet specimen is measured by the commercial DMM-based instruments and our designed test rig for comparison. The variations in relative expanded uncertainty of the measured contact resistance as a function of various mechanical load force and load current are presented. Keywords: electrode mAterial; high-throughput characterization; contact resistance; measurement; uncertainty estimation 1. Introduction Metal electrode mAterials are widely used in the electrical and electronic engineering for conducting and/or switching current, such as connectors [1], electromechanical devices [2], thin-film devices [3], microelectromechanical system [4], and switchgear [5], etc. The roughness of the mAterial surfaces causes only small peaks or asperities within the apparent surface to be in contact.

Here we show that activity elicited by low-current ICMS modulates induced cortical responses to a sensory stimulus in the primary auditory cortex (A1). A1 processes sensory stimuli in a stereotyped manner, encompassing two types of activity: evoked activity (phase-locked to the stimulus) and induced activity (non-phase-locked to the stimulus). Time-frequency analyses of extracellular potentials recorded from all layers and the surface of the auditory cortex of anesthetized guinea pigs of both sexes showed that ICMS during the processing of a transient acoustic stimulus differentially affected the evoked and induced response. Specifically, ICMS enhanced the long-latency-induced component, mimicking physiological gain increasing top-down feedback processes. Further- more, the phase of the local field potential at the time of stimulation was

  • Challenges in the Design of Large-Scale, High-Density, Wireless Stimulation and Recording Interface
    Challenges in the Design of Large-Scale, High-Density, Wireless Stimulation and Recording Interface Po-Min Wang, Stanislav Culaclii, Kyung Jin Seo, Yushan Wang, Hui Fang, Yi-Kai Lo, and Wentai Liu 1 Introduction Neural stimulation and recording have been widely applied to fundamental research to better understand the nervous systems as well as to the clinical therapy of a variety of diseases. Well-known examples include monitoring and manipulating neural activities in the brain to map the brain function [1–3], spinal cord implant to restore the motor function after spinal cord injury [4–6], gastrointestinal (GI) implant to monitor and treat GI motility disorders [7–9], and retinal prostheses to regain eyesight in the blind [10–12]. These applications require continuous techno- logical advancement in designs of stimulation and recording electronics, electrodes, and the interconnections between the electronics and the electrodes. Despite technological advances to date, there are still challenges to overcome in applications requiring large-scale, high-density, wireless stimulation and recording. Concretely, the study of the brain function through monitoring and manipulating neural activities in freely moving and behaving subjects requires decoding the com- plex brain dynamics by mapping brain activity with both large-scale and high spa- tial resolution. This decoding demands a large-scale, high-density electrode array with small electrode size, which imposes significant challenges in electrode array fabrication as well as its interconnect with electronics. In addition, the capability to record high channel number implies the need for wireless electronics with high P.-M. Wang · S. Culaclii · Y. Wang · W.

McBride ABSTRACT Experimental and theoretical studies are made of a typical snap-action rocker switch, to establish the wear mechanisms in the pivoting contact. The rocker switch, used extensive~ in consumer goods, operates in the medium duty current range, (1 - 30 Amps). Highspeed photographic studies have shown that the main cause of wear is arcing, occurri~ during separation and bounce at the pivot contacts. To reduce the bounce a computer-based mathematical model of the system dynamics is developed and opcimised; this results in recommended design changes.

Email: [email protected]; Stavros Zanos, Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, 350 Community Drive, Manhasset NY 11030, USA. Email: [email protected] Abstract Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been tested as therapy for several brain disorders and as a means to modulate cortical excitability and brain plasticity. Cortical effects of VNS, manifesting as vagal-evoked potentials (VEPs), are thought to arise from activation of ascending cholinergic and noradrenergic systems. However, it is unknown whether those effects are modulated by brain state at the time of stimulation. In 2 freely behaving macaque monkeys, we delivered short trains of 5 pulses to the left cervical vagus nerve at different frequencies (5-300 Hz) while recording local field potentials (LFPs) from sites in contralateral prefrontal, sensorimotor and parietal cortical areas.
