Innovation and firm survival: the role of timing, funding, and networks by Gao, Ming

“…Given the explanation that a lack of adequate financial resources may increase the overall risk profile faced by SMEs and thereby reduce their likelihood of survival, this study tries to explore whether a helping hand from other organizations such as governments and large incumbent firms can help to diminish the negative influence of SMEs’ innovation in the early stage on their survival. This brings forth our second research question: does external financial support have a moderating effect on the relationship between firms’ innovation and their survival performance? …”

A crosstalk-immune sub-THz All-surface-wave I/O transceiver in 65-nm CMOS by Liang, Yuan, Boon, Chirn Chye, Yu, Hao

“…It is further integrated into the all-surface-wave I/O with a surface-wave transmission line and matching converter. Measured results show that the proposed dual-channel I/O delivers a localized 140 GHz surface-wave signal, demonstrating crosstalk-immune on-chip transmission by supporting 13.5 Gb/s data-rate communication with 2.6 PJ/bit Power efficiency and a bit-error rate less than 10^(-12).…”
