TGovernments are said to be weighing up the possibilities of subsidising the construction of new semiconductor factories in response with the US, the EU, India and Japan looking at the possibility of developing cutting-edge ‘fabs’. With more than two- thirds of advanced computing chips now manufactured in Taiwan there is seen to be a need for factories outside of Asia and Intel, Samsung and TSMC have already drawn up plans to build factories in the US. In the case of Intel, it is also talking about building a new factory in Europe. However, is any of this likely? It would be “economically unrealistic” for the US and Europe to build local foundry capacity for local demand, according to TSMC’s chairman Mark Liu, who has suggested that any new capacity would likely end up being ‘non- “Europe pro table’, and that there’s already enough capacity in the system to meet the rising dropped out of demand for AI and 5G chips. He suggests that the pandemic and growing trade tensions this race a long between the US and China are both abnormal factors which have affected the supply time ago and no chain – left alone, things will return to normal. While that might be true in Japan, Canon, Tokyo Electron and Screen Semiconductor longer has the Electron have joined a government funded programme to develop advanced 2nm chips, necessary local while India is looking to build on its strengths as a design centre for global chip rms know-how.” and lure factories with new subsidies. Helmut Gassel, It does appear that every country wants to build its own fab in what could be seen Infi neon as a return to the 1970s, before the US and Europe outsourced chip manufacturing to the Far East. In Europe there are clashes between the EU and national governments over the need for advanced computer chip factories - a policy that’s being promoted by the EU’s internal market chief Thierry Breton. In opposition, Helmut Gassel, head of strategy at German chipmaker In neon has warned that, “Europe dropped out of this race a long time ago and no longer has the necessary local know-how,” to deliver. So, if we are to see a new tranche of factories appearing are we then going to see nations developing their own semiconductor industries? If they do and a chip ‘arms race’ develops might we simply end up with too much chip making capacity and in the process waste limited resources and vast amounts of tax payers’ money?

    Paper ID #25855 Simulation Software for Online Teaching of ECE Courses Dr. Alireza Kavianpour, DeVry University, Pomona Dr. Alireza Kavianpour received his PH.D. Degree from University of Southern California (USC). He is currently Senior Professor at DeVry University, Pomona, CA. Dr. Kavianpour is the author and co-author of over forty technical papers all published in IEEE Journals or referred conferences. Before joining DeVry University he was a researcher at the University of California, Irvine and consultant at Qualcom Inc. His main interests are in the areas of embedded systems and computer architecture. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Simulation software for Online teaching of ECE Courses ABSTRACT Online learning, also known as e-learning, has become an increasingly common choice for many students pursuing an education. Online learning requires the student to participate and learn virtually via computer, as opposed to the traditional classroom environment. Although online learning is not for everyone, it's important for prospective students to determine whether or not it's something they would like to pursue. The following are advantages and disadvantages for online learning: Advantages -Online learning provides flexibility because students are able to work when it's convenient for them. Students can do all the homework from any location as long as they have access to a computer. -A student can learn at his or her own pace. -Degrees can be completed in less time compared to traditional universities. -Students have fewer distractions, and it can be less intimidating to participate in the discussions. -Students have the opportunity to connect with and work alongside students from other locations.

Professor, Dept. of ECE, RTCIT, Ranchi, India 3B.Tech Scholar, Dept. of ECE, RTCIT, Ranchi, India Abstract: In today’s era, the ease of life and simultaneously conservation of energy in most demanding thing. This should be the required contribution for every person for making a better world. In our proposed module we have designed a module which can control maximum four home appliances such as fan, cooler, AC, bulb etc. Via TV remote through Infrared technology. At this stage approximately every person have TV remote at their home and in this paper our purpose and effort is to make maximum digitalization for home appliances. Our proposed module consist mainly two sections TX and RX. Our RX section of proposed module is very efficient and at the same time power consumption is very less. This module can be used efficiently at home, offices, schools, colleges and industries. Keywords: IR, ATMEGA, TX, RX, NO, NC, COM, PCB, SPP, EDA, CAD, PROTEUS, DIP-TRACE, CIE, EDA. 1. INTRODUCTION INFRARED TECHNOLOGY Infrared (IR) is invisible radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, extending from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 70nm (frequency 430 THz) to 1 mm (300 GHz) ,although people can see infrared up to at least 1050 nm in experimentally[1].

Aging and stress result in cardiovascular diseases that cost around seventeen million lives globally every year. To control cardiovascular ailments, at- home monitoring of blood pressure is very important which helps diet control and promote medication adherence. The present health monitors are by default bulky, daunting, invasive, and not suitable for home use.

In the case of existing equipment, a high fraction of the aerosol is lost to the atmosphere through the vent, during the exhalation phase of respiration. Specifically, 50% of the volume of aerosol generated, is wasted. Desired effects of nebulization may not achieve by neglecting this poor administration technique. There may be adverse effects like bronchospasm, and exposure to high drug concentrations. Methods The proposed nebulizer is composed of two modes as “Compressed Air” mode and “Oxygen Therapy” mode. The automated triggering from one mode to another will be dependent upon the percentage of oxygen saturation of the patient, monitored from the SpO2 sensor. The compressed airflow will be delivered to the patient according to his or her minute ventilation, derived with the aid of a temperature sensor-based algorithm.
