Cupric oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were prepared by the chemical route and different nanofluid samples of CuO NPs dispersed in PVA in dif- ferent concentrations were prepared using ultrasonication. The apparatus acoustic particle sizer (APS-100) was used to make high precision measurements of the ultrasonic attenuation depending upon different frequencies in the frequency range 48 to 99 MHz. The ultrasonic attenuation data are inverted to particle size distribution (PSD) and are used for particle size determination of CuO NPs. Temperature dependent ultrasonic velocity in the samples is also measured. The results of ultrasonic spectroscopy are compared with the microscopic measurements such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). There is good agreement between data produced by ultrasonic spec- troscopy and the microscopic measurements.展开更多

The Pt nanoparticles (PtNP) electrochemically deposited between two polypyrrole layers on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass plates (PtNP/PPY/ITO) have offered high-electroactive surface area and favourable microenvironment for immobilization of cholesterol esterase (ChEt) and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) resulting in enhanced electron transfer between the enzyme system and the electrode. Impedimetric response studies of the ChEt-ChOx/PtNP/ITO nanobioelectrode exhibit improved linearity (2.5 × 10-4 to 6.5 × 10-3 M/l), low detection limit (2.5 × 10-4 M/l), fast response time (25 s), high sensitivity (196 Ω/mM/cm-2) and a low value of the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km, 0.2 M/l) with a regression coefficient of 0.997.展开更多

The proposed ADC architecture shows high accuracy with a high speed circuit and efficient utilization of the hardware. This paper demonstrates the functionality of the digital correction logic of 14-bit pipelined ADC at each 1.5 bit/stage. This prototype of ADC architecture accounts for capacitor mismatch, comparator offset and finite Op-Amp gain error in the MDAC（residue amplification circuit）stages. With the proposed architecture of ADC, SNDR obtained is 85.89 d B, SNR is 85.9 d B and SFDR obtained is 102.8 d B at the sample rate of 100 MHz. This novel architecture of digital correction logic is transparent to the overall system, which is demonstrated by using 14-bit pipelined ADC. After a latency of 14 clocks, digital output will be available at every clock pulse. To describe the circuit behavior of the ADC, VHDL and MATLAB programs are used. The proposed architecture is also capable of reducing the digital hardware. Silicon area is also the complexity of the design.展开更多
