Using the Finite Element Method to Determine the Temperature Distributions in Hot-wire Cutting. [PDF]
Hot-wire cutting is a common material removal process used to shape and sculpt plastic foam materials, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS). Due to the low cost and sculpt-ability of plastic foams they are popular materials for large sized (> 1 m³ ...

A global wire planning scheme for Network-on-Chip. [PDF]
As technology scales down, the interconnect for on-chip global communication becomes the delay bottleneck. In order to provide well-controlled global wire delay and efficient global communication, a packet switched Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture was ...
