Brewer’s Big Horses
All the brewer's big horses coming down the road, Countin' all around ole Lucifer’s load.
Oh, the step so high and they step so free;
But them big horses can’t run over me.
Chorus:
Oh, no, boys, oh, no!
The turnpike’s free wherever I go;
I’se a temperance Injun, don’t you see?
But the great big horses can’t run over me.
Oh, the liquor man's act can’t let down this place;
Living on the sweat of a poor man’s face;
They’re fat and sassy as they can be,
But the brewer’s big horses can't run over me!

Anisotropic He-ion irradiation damages in nanocolumnarWthin films
No full textThe effects of He-ion irradiation on the microstructures and the mechanical, thermal properties of sputter-deposited nanocolumnar tungsten thin films have been studied. 200 keV He+ ion irradiation with a fluence of 2x1017 ions/cm2 was performed in the growth direction of the W thin films. Small scale mechanical testing methods, such as nanoindentation and square membrane deflection experiments, were carried out, and the thermal conductivity measurement was performed based on the electrical resistivity measurement and the Wiedemann–Franz law for the unirradiated and irradiated W thin films. It was revealed that the properties in the out-of-plane direction are not changed much, but a significant degradation occurs in the in-plane direction after the He-ion irradiation. The microstructure of the film and the distribution of He-ion induced damages are responsible for the anisotropic property changes by He-ion irradiation.
An 8MHz 31.25kS/s Impedance-Monitoring IC Based on IF-Sampling Architecture with a Band-Pass Delta-Sigma ADC
No full textWe present an impedance-monitoring IC achieving a wide frequency range (FR) and fast output data rate (ODR). The proposed IC support a wide FR with improved spectral density by down-converting the signal to the intermediate frequency (fIF) in front of the instrumentation amplifier (IA) using the LO signal generated by a single-side-band (SSB) mixer. The proposed IF-sampling architecture does not require narrow-bandwidth (BW) low-pass filter (LPF), resulting in a fast ODR. A time-interleaved (TI) DFT is also employed to further improve the ODR. A band-pass delta-sigma ADC (BP-ΔΣ-ADC) with the auto-calibration and BP truncation is adopted to achieve the best noise performance at fIF. The fabricated IC achieves 0.35ΩRMS resolution in the FR from 4kHz to 8MHz with 122.1Hz BW while providing the ODR up to 31.25kS/s
31.2 A 0.9V 28MHz Dual-RC Frequency Reference with 5pJ/Cycle and ±200 ppm Inaccuracy from -40°C to 85°C
No full textWireless sensor nodes in battery-powered internet-of-things (loT) applications require a stable on-chip frequency reference with low energy (<10 pJ / cycle) and high frequency stability (below ±300ppm). CMOS RC frequency references are promising due to their low-cost integration and high energy efficiency [1] –[5]. Conventional RC references, however, achieve only moderate accuracy (a few %) due to the large temperature coefficient (TC) of on-chip resistors [3]. First-order TC compensation can be achieved by combining resistors with complementary TCs [1], [2]. Although this is energy efficient (<6 pJ / cycle), it only partially compensates for the resistors’ high-order TCs, limiting the resulting accuracy to about ±500 ppm. Better accuracy (±100 ppm [4]) can be achieved by using the output of a digital temperature sensor (TS) to perform a polynomial correction of the phase-shift (μp,T) of an RC filter (Fig. 31.2.1). Alternatively, the phase-shifts (μp. and μN) of two RC filters with complementary TCs can be linearized (Tp. and T N ) and combined in the digital domain. Such dual-RC frequency references can also achieve good accuracy (±200 ppm [5]). However, both architectures employ an analog phase-domain ΔΣ modulator (Φ−ΔΣM) for each RC filter, which consumes significant energy (25pJ/cycle [4] and 107pJ/ cycle [5]) and area (0.3mm2[4]. and 1.65mm2[5]).Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.MicroelectronicsElectronic Instrumentatio

No full textA 0.9-V 28-MHz Highly Digital CMOS Dual-RC Frequency Reference With ±200 ppm Inaccuracy From -40 °C to 85 °C
No full textThis article presents an energy-efficient dual- RC frequency reference intended for wireless sensor nodes. It consists of a digital frequency-locked loop (FLL) in which the frequency of a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is locked to a temperature-independent phase shift derived from two different RC poly-phase filters (PPFs). Phase shifts with complementary temperature coefficients (TCs) are generated by using PPFs made from different resistor types (p-poly and silicided p-poly). The phase shift of each filter is determined by a zero-crossing (ZC) detector and then digitized by a digital phase-domain ΔΣ modulator ( Φ - ΔΣM ). The results are then combined in the digital domain via fixed polynomials to produce a temperature-independent phase shift. This highly digital architecture enables the use of a sub-1-V supply voltage and enhances energy and area efficiency. The 28-MHz frequency reference occupies 0.06 mm2 in a 65-nm CMOS process. It achieves a period jitter of 7 ps ( 1σ ) and draws 142 μW from a 0.9-V supply, which corresponds to an energy consumption of 5 pJ/cycle. Furthermore, it achieves ±200 ppm inaccuracy from −40∘C to 85 ∘C after a two-point trim.</p

Indian possession and playing: an American tradition from Tom Sawyer to today
No full textToni Morrison's deconstructionist analysis of the Africanist presence in nineteenth century texts is complemented by analysis of Nativist presence in the same time period and beyond. While the Africanist presence, or lack thereof, helped white authors express the venture for a democratic freedom, the Nativist presence has helped—and continues to help—white authors articulate an American identity which is romantic and distinctly their own, separate from Europe. A number of texts published in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries portray Native Americans in a paradoxical way: the figure is simultaneously the quintessential villain, savage and untrustworthy, and a romantic object of play, resistant to civilization and therefore a figure to be possessed and emulated. At the core of this paradoxical representation is Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). The novel's villain, Injun Joe, is the epitome of evil, yet the Native American is still the object of Tom's
imagination and infatuation. Even while Injun Joe is conveniently left to starve and die in an isolated setting, literally blocked from the rest of the civilization. Tom continues to "play Indian." Twain's novel appears at the transitional period between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and it captures the ideologies of playing Indian and more specifically, the American ideologies within children's literature. This perpetuation of playing Indian lessons in children's literature is one which should be challenged and critiqued. The project will begin with an interrogation of the literary-historical roots of this cultural tradition, as found in Moby-Dick, The Last of the Mohicans, and Hohomok Then, Tom Sawyer will be employed as the transitional piece between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, linking the
literary-historical accounts with more contemporary novels and films that exacerbate this trope, including Little House on the Prairie. The Catcher in the Rye, The Indian in the Cupboard, The Bean Trees, Disney's Pocahontas films, and Twentieth Century Fox's Night at the Museum. Rounding out the study is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which proves that the American fantasy continually permeates American children's literature and culture.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Christine M.
