By using Silvaco-TCAD simulation software, the influences of the emitter surface concentration (cE), the junction depth (xj) and the emitter fraction (EF) on the output characteristics of P-type front junction back contact crystalline silicon solar cell was analyzed. The results show that the upper surface emitter surface concentration and the junction depth of the front junction back contact crystalline silicon solar cell based on conventional low-cost P-type silicon substrate (CZ growth method, the resistivity is 1.5Ω·cm, the minority carrier life is 10μs) have a noticeable effect on output characteristics of solar cells. The higher the upper surface emitter surface concentration, the deeper the junction depth, the lower the short wavelength incident light external quantum efficiency. When the upper surface emitter surface concentration is 1×1019 cm–3 and the junction depth is 0.2μm,the solar cell conversion efficiency reaches 20.72%. The side-surface and under-surface emitter surface concentration and the junction depth have a slight effect on output characteristics of solar cells, while the side-surface and under-surface emitter fraction has a noticeable effect on output characteristics of solar cells. The greater the side-surface and under-surface emitter fraction, the higher the external quantum efficiency and conversion efficiency.
In 2010, Shiu et al. proposed three DNA-based reversible data hiding schemes with high embedding capacity. However, their schemes were not focused on DNA modification rate or the expansion problem. Therefore, we propose a novel reversible data hiding scheme based on histogram technique to solve the weaknesses of Shiu et al.'s schemes. The proposed scheme transforms the DNA sequence into a binary string and then combines several bits into a decimal integer. These decimal integers are used to generate a histogram. Afterwards, the proposed scheme uses a histogram technique to embed secret data. The experimental results show that the modification rate of our proposed scheme is 69 % lower than that of Shiu et al.'s schemes for the same embedding capacity. In addition, the length of the DNA sequence remains unchanged in the proposed scheme.
A low dropout linear regulator (LDO) circuit without off-chip capacitor is designed for 3.3 V and maximum 100 mA output. The LDO's transient characteristic is improved by using parallel-connected differentiators. The stability of the system is enhanced due to Miller compensation which eliminates the large output voltage ripple of the capacitor-free LDO. The circuit is designed by means of 0.5 µm technological process. The Cadence Spectre simulation results show that the quiescent current consumption of the circuit is 25 µA under 3.5 V supply voltage, the phase margin is 70° without load, the ripple of output voltage is less than 200 mV with the load current changing from 0 to 100 mA in 1 µs.
Using the Taguchi method, the authors analyzed the optimum conditions for (Y3−xCex)Al5O12 (YAG:Ce) phosphor, which is prepared using the solid-state reaction method. The controllable factors used in this study consisted of the following: (1) the duration of milling, (2) the quantity of substitution, (3) the duration of sintering, and (4) the temperature of sintering. Under optimum conditions, a confirmation experiment was carried out, and the average photoluminescence (PL) intensity of YAG:Ce phosphor was found to be up to 270.84 (a.u.). The percentage contribution of each controllable factor was also determined. Most interestingly, the temperature of sintering is the most influential factor within current investigation range to the solid-state-prepared YAG:Ce phosphor, and its value of percentage contribution is up to 70.90%. Aside from this, through the optimum conditions, the average PL intensity of YAG:Ce phosphor can be substantially promoted from 193.88 (a.u.), the average PL intensity of YAG:Ce phosphor sintered at 1500°C for 6h that was usually used to sinter YAG:Ce phosphor.
A low mismatch Curvature-Compensated CMOS bandgap reference by the mechanism of chopper modulator,we use a first-order folding amplifier,which has a simple structure,low power consumption and smaller layout area than second-order,it still has a good gain.We use second-order current compensation,make the BGR a better temperature coefficient and the system is stable.We use a standard 0.5μm CMOS process to simulate the op-amp circuit and bandgap reference circuit.The circuit delivers an output voltage of 1.17V,and achieves temperature coefficient of 4.7 ppm over-20 ℃ to 120 ℃ We can choose a different process and passive resistance to make the different reference voltage,temperature coefficient is still enough to meet the actual needs.
To prevent overheating of the chip and improve the reliability and stability of the chip,using a 0.5 μm CMOS process,a thermal shutdown circuit with hysteresis comparator was designed.The structure of the folded cascade OPA was used in the comparator,so the comparator had a large input range as well as better hysteresis performance and temperature sensitivity.The circuits ware simulated by the cadence spectre,the results show that when the supply voltage is in the range of 4.5-7 V,the threshold voltage of over-temperature protection changes in a small amount,which means that the output signal has a good power supply rejection.When the temperature exceeds 130 ℃,the output signal turns over and the ship stops working.When the temperature falls down to 90 ℃,the chip works again.This circuit can control the magnitude of two threshold voltages by adjusting size of specific transistor,and because of this special function it avoids the thermal swing.
This study investigates effects of the zinc oxide (ZnO) addition and the sintering temperature on the microstructure and the electrical properties (such as dielectric constant and loss tangent) of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramic of bismuth sodium titanate (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3), NBT, which was prepared using the mixed oxide method. Three kinds of starting powders (such as Bi2O3, Na2CO3 and TiO2) were mixed and calcined. This calcined NBT powder and a certain weight percentage of ZnO were mixed and compressed into a green compact of NBT–ZnO. Then, this green compact of NBT–ZnO was sintered to be a disk doped with ZnO, and its characteristics were measured. In this study, the calcining temperature was 800°C, the sintering temperatures ranged from 1000 to 1150°C, and the weight percentages of ZnO doping included 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0wt%. At a fixed wt% ZnO, the grain size increases with increase in the sintering temperature. The largest relative density of the NBT disk obtained in this study is 98.3% at the calcining temperature of 800°C, the sintering temperature of 1050°C, and 0.5wt% ZnO addition. Its corresponding dielectric constant and loss tangent are 216.55 and 0.133, respectively.

A mode for designing the digital logic circuit through C ++ language matching withVerilog HDL was introduced. Base on this,a brand-new method of designing logic circuit from C ++ toVerilog was presented. This method starts from the system design ( virtual machine) and used C ++ tobuild the required system model. Then,the software design is accurately translated into a hardware levelby Verilog and C ++ consistency. So the logical design upwards can undertake joint simulation by software and hardware,and downwards can realize physical level outspread. This method can effectively avoid logic inconsistency when the SOC design is translated from system design to physical design. Some contrastive analyses about the difference of two languages were given after some language characteristics of C ++ were formulated. Then translation way was given between C ++ and Verilog HDL. Besides,the example of DSP designing was provided which can perform application of this method directly. Finally,the system description was verified by comparing the simulation data of C ++ and Verilog.

In the traditional IP verification methodology, module level verification platform have limitations such as uncontrollability, low efficiency, huge workload, long verification time and poor reusability. To resolve these problems, a SOC function verification virtual platform based on bus transaction level strategy is proposed.

This paper proposes a reversible data-embedding scheme that improves on Kieu and Chang's method by increasing the embedding capacity measured by bits per pixel (bpp) while maintaining high image quality. The embedding procedure of the proposed method consists of two phases: "horizontal embedding" and "vertical embedding." Every overlapping pixel pair can carry one secret bit for enhancing the embedding capacity. The experimental results show that the PSNR value of one-layer embedding is greater than 52 dB, and the embedding capacity is more than 1 bpp for all 512x512 test images. Even after four-layer embedding, the experimental results show that the embedding capacity of test images is more than 4.8 bpp and the PSNR value is higher than 51 dB. The results show that the proposed method has superior measures in both image quality and embedding capacity.
