Abstract: This tutorial brief shows how Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can be used for the optimization and automated design of analog and mixed-signal circuits. A survey of conventional and ...

The rigid-block equilibrium (RBE) method uses a penalty formulation to measure structural infeasibility or to guide the design of stable discrete-element assemblies from unstable geometry. However, ...

Abstract: This article discusses the synthesis of a new class of cross-coupled blocks incorporating frequency-variant couplings, that is, the frequency-variant blocks (FVBs), and their planar ...

The crossroads quilt block is a great way to showcase a variety of fabrics. Feel free to use precuts or select fabric from your stash. This block is made using just two basic units arranged just so to ...
