Routing signal lines in PCB, line shapes would be straight or bent. time-domain and frequency-domain evaluation of the signal property and interference are archived by precise Modeling of differential signal line. Some of CAD tools can extract equivalent circuit model parameters. but it takes a long time and heavy loads. This paper introduces a basic RLC equivalent circuit model parameter extraction technique for bent differential structures using genetic algorithm by this technique, we can model equivalent circuit of bent differential structures more faster.

To study the gene expression change and possible signal pathway during androgen-dependent prostate cancer (ADPC) becoming androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC), an LNCaP cell model of AIPC was established using flutamide in combination with androgen-free environment inducement, and differential expression genes were screened by microarray. Then the biological process, molecular function and KEGG pathway of differential expression genes are analyzed by Molecule Annotation System (MAS). By comparison of 12,207 expression genes, 347 expression genes were acquired, of which 156 were up-ragulated and 191 down-regulated. After analyzing the biological process and molecule function of differential expression genes, these genes are found to play crucial roles in cell proliferation, differntiation, cell cycle control, protein metabolism and modification and other biological process, serve as signal molecules, enzymes, peptide hormones, cytokines, cytoskeletal proteins and adhesion molecules. The analysis of KEGG show that the relevant genes of AIPC transformation participate in glutathione metabolism, cell cycle, P53 signal pathway, cytochrome P450 metabolism, Hedgehog signal pathway, MAPK signal pathway, adipocytokines signal pathway, PPAR signal pathway, TGF-${\beta}$ signal pathway and JAK-STAT signal pathway. In conclusion, during the process of ADPC becoming AIPC, it is not only one specific gene or pathway, but multiple genes and pathways that change. The findings above lay the foundation for study of AIPC mechanism and development of AIPC targeting drugs.

A 180-GHz signal source based on a 65-nm CMOS technology has been developed in this study. The 180-GHz signal source consists of a 90-GHz fundamental-mode Colpitts oscillator and a 180-GHz frequency doubler. A coupled-line is employed to couple two oscillator cores for generating a differential signal, which is delivered to the input of the differential-mode doubler. The fabricated signal source operates from 181.2 to 182.4 GHz with output power varying from -15.3 to -10.8 dBm. The peak output power was -10.53 dBm at 181.3 GHz with a DC power consumption of 42 mW, and the associated phase noise was -71 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset.

In wireless communications, chaotic communications have been a field of interest due to its low complexity in hardware implementation and low power consumption in chaotic signal generation. Among the modulation schemes using the chaotic signal, Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK) is a robust non coherent technique. As in the conventional communication systems, chaos-based systems are required to provide reasonable bit error performance in the presence of a narrow-band signal coming from any other systems. The frequency band of this foreign narrow band signal may lie within the bandwidth of the chaos-based systems. This situation may occur when chaotic signal transmission is done in the presence of other conventional communication system. This paper has evaluated the performance of the non coherent differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) system under the presence of conventional non-chaotic transmit reference system. Both systems are assumed to have same data rates. The mathematical expressions for the bit error rate (BER) are derived with computer simulations to verify the analytical results.

In this paper, we devised pulse detection transducer that has non-differential characteristics for pulse detection on chongu arterial. The transducer consist of load cell and driving electronic circuits. Load cell consist of cantilever and two metal film strain gauge. The pressure signal from chongu artery is delivered to load cell using artery rider that attached to cantilever. Therefore the pressure pulse signal can obtain by the developed transducer. As the results of experiment, the developed transducer has a good linearity at pressure to voltage conversion and acan detect non-differential pulse signal from chongu artery.

An effective technique to increase the signal swing and reduce noise is to use fully-differential -circuits. However, design of a common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit that stabilizes the common-mode output level is essential. In this paper, a general description is given to fully-differential amplifiers with their CMFB loops, then a new error amplifier that is just composed of transistors and stabilizes the DC output level is proposed. We designed a simple and efficient bias circuit that allows the stability and maximum input swing. Simulation result shows the enhanced phase margin and increased differential-mode input swing with a proposed error amplifier.

This paper introduces a sigma-delta DAC with a fully-differential current-mode semidigital IFIR postfilter. A proposed fully-differential postfilter exhibits not only an improved SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) but also a reduced opwer dissipation.

In this paper, optical noise is reduced by a differential detector with an optical fiber coupler in an optical wireless system. An $1\times2$ optical fiber coupler divides the received optical signal by 2 equally, and connects them to the two photodiodes in a differential detector. The output voltage variation due to the abrupt change of optical noise distribution in space disappears because the two photodiodes effectively detect the optical signal at the same point. The signal to noise ratio in a differential detector with a fiber coupler was 8 dB higher than in a single photodiode with an optical filter.

Local wall thinning in pipelines affects the structural integrity of industries like nuclear power plants (NPPs). In the present study, a pulsed eddy current (PEC) differential probe with two excitation coils and two Hall-sensors was fabricated to measure the wall thinning in insulated pipelines. A stainless steel test sample was prepared with a thickness that varied from 1 mm to 5 mm and was laminated by plastic insulation to simulate the pipelines in NPPs. The excitation coils in the probe were driven by a rectangular current pulse, the difference of signals from two Hall-sensors was measured as the resultant PEC signal. The peak value of the detected signal is used to describe the wall thinning. The peak value increased as the thickness of the test sample increased. The results were measured at different insulation thicknesses on the sample. Results show that the differential PEC probe has the potential to detect wall thinning in an insulated NPP pipelines.

The mechanism of power transmission from motor torque to stem thrust and the operation characteristic of each stroke position are analyzed using the diagnostic signal, and effects of differential pressure on the performance of motor operated flexible wedge gate valve are investigated. Test facility consists of 76 mm motor operated valve(flexible wedge type), pump and pipe system. Static and dynamic test are performed separately, and two differential pressure conditions are applied in the dynamic test. To evaluate the performance of valve, test signals for the torque, thrust, current, voltage and stroke length are acquired by using UDS which is diagnosis device for motor operated valve, and each diagnostic signal is analyzed and compared. The characteristic of valve performance factors such as stem factor, rate of loading, valve factor, are evaluated, and these factors are found to be severely influenced by the fluid differential pressure.
