    Operational Transconductance Amplifier Layout

    But if you wanted a pull up, pull down network why wouldn't you use simple enhancement loads? Only two things about these things concern me, one is that only the purple boxes look like any version of a Wilson current mirror I could find. The blue box on the right looks like it is being biased...

    Operational Transconductance Amplifier Layout

    Hey all, So I am a Senior in college, enrolled in a microfabrication lab. We have a final project to do and we're already being asked to come up with all of the design and physical sizes along with beginning simulations. The reason is so we will for sure have everyone's design by the time...

    Poisson Statistics in Solid State Physics

    After discussing this with my professor he said that to solve this problem you don't have to use the Poisson distribution, that being said he also told me that "if you ask the distribution the right questions" that it can be solved using the distribution. Not sure what this means in terms of...

    Poisson Statistics in Solid State Physics

    Homework Statement In the Drude model the probability of an electron having a collision in an infinitesimal time interval dt is given by dt/\tau. (a) Show that an electron picked at random at a given moment will have no collisions during the next t seconds with probability e-t/\tau. (b) Show...

    Using 3 input LUT's to Implement a Boolean Function

    Homework Statement Consider the function f(w1,w2,w3,w4) = SUM( m(0, 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15)). Derive an implementation using the minimum possible number of three-input LUTs. Homework Equations Where SUM(m(0, 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15)) is the sum of the min terms, a Sum of Products that...

    Balancing Physics, Math & EE Degrees - Will It Pay Off?

    Background info Long version: So I was just putzing around here on the web and started looking at this forum for kicks and giggles. The problem is it was making me a tad nervous so I figure I'll ask. I was originally going to go into mechanical engineering, then I thought EE. I applied and...

    Third order differential equation numerical approximation

    Homework Statement There is a fluid flowing over a hot plate. We non-dimensionalized the problem from three partial diff eq's to two ode's. I am modeling I have two coupled differential equations that are a system of initial value problems. I am supposed to numerically integrate the two...

    Calculating Pion Halflife: Gamma, Time Dilation, and Particle Decay

    Problem: A group of 'pi' mesons (pions) is observed traveling at speed 0.8c in a particle physics laboratory. (a) What is the factor 'gamma' for the pions? (b) If the pions' proper half-life is 1.8x10^-8 s, what is their half-life as observed in the lab frame? (c) If there were initially...

    Is {V1-Vn} an Orthonormal Basis in R^n for a Positive Definite Inner Product?

    It becomes (v^T)Kv which when the "subs" i & j for i=j it equals 1 and for i not equal to j it equals 0. Which produces the identity. THANKS Matt Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Proving Orthonormal Basis & Uniqueness of Inner Product | Linear Algebra HW Help

    Do you mean in (x^T)Kx or in notation <x,x> or in formula? I'm not going to lie I'm a bit confused with what you're asking.

    Is {V1-Vn} an Orthonormal Basis in R^n for a Positive Definite Inner Product?

    Homework Statement Show that {V1--Vn} form an orthonormal basis of R^n for the inner product <v,w>= (v^T)Kw for K>0(positive definite) if and only if (A^T)KA=I where A={v1,v2---vn} Homework Equations I don't know what to do in terms of do I write it out using actual matrices or are...

    Proving Orthonormal Basis & Uniqueness of Inner Product | Linear Algebra HW Help

    Homework Statement Prove that any basis of R^n is an orthonormal basis with respect to some inner product. Is the inner product uniquely determined? Homework Equations I am not sure where to begin. Should I just define an arbitrary basis for a arbitrary R^n? I mean I think I...
