Low quiescent current 110 nm capacitorless low dropout voltage regulator with wide load current range by Ab. Halim, Wan Maziyah, Rusli, Julie Roslita, Yusoff, Yuzman, Shafie, Suhaidi, Shaban, Suraya

“…The single-digit micro-ranged quiescent current greatly contributes in minimizing power consumption during the idle mode of the CLDO regulator which can be within single digit micro-Watt range where ultra-low power applications operate, thus prolonging the battery life, whilst the wide load range provides flexibility for the proposed CLDO regulator to power a larger range of circuits to drive with better line regulation and relatively good PSRR at low-frequency range.…”

Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. This method can accu rately extract the information of bone joint location of slices and incorporate it into image features in the form of channels, which can improve the accuracy of multiple bone joint segmentation and classification. …”
