Given a sample covariance matrix, we examine the problem of maximizing the variance explained by a particular linear combination of the input variables while constraining the numb...

Discrete gate sizing is a critical optimization in VLSI circuit design. Given a set of available gate sizes, discrete gate sizing problem asks to assign a size to each gate such th...
Microfluidics-based biochips, also referred to as lab-on-a-chip (LoC), are devices that integrate fluid-handling functions such as sample preparation, analysis, separation, and de...
Gate oxide tunneling current Igate and sub-threshold current Isub dominate the leakage of designs. The latter depends on threshold voltage Vth while Igate vary with the thickness ...
This paper explores a view-based approach to recognize free-form objects in range images. We are using a set of local features that are easy to calculate and robust to partial occ...
