INTERNATIONAL

1. M.J Gander and A.E Ruehli, “Optimized waveform relaxation methods for RC type
circuits” IEEE Transactions on Circuits and systems -I; vol.51,No.4 pp 755 -768 April
2004.

Waveform Relaxation has been widely used in circuit theory for the solution of large
systems of ordinary and partial differential equations. This paper proposes a near
optimized WR algorithm which greatly accelerates the convergence. Based on this WR
technique many circuit solvers were built.

2. Sigmond Singer, Shaul Ozeri, Doron Shmilovit z, “A pure realization of loss free resistor”
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and systems vol 51 no.8, pp 1639 -1647, Aug 2004.

Practically the input characteristic is not pure resistive due to the ripple and filtering
effects. A method which enables redu ction of the ripple to negligible values and the
eliminations of the input filter is presented, which facilitates realization of practical
circuits with nearly pure input resistive characteristic.

3. J.Paul, A. Vander Wagt, and C.L.Conrad, “ A layout str ucture for matching many
integrated resistors,” IEEE Transactions on Circuits and systems -I, vol 51,No 1 pp186 -
190, jan 2004.

It proves that a mirrored shuffle layout pattern for an array of many resistors can cancel
systematic gradient errors in resist or value up to second order.

4. F. Filippetti and M. Artioli, “Ime : 4 -Term formula method for the symbolic analysis of
linear circuits,” IEEE Transactions on Circuits and systems -I, vol 51,No.3, pp526 -538, march
2004.

Symbolic analysis is defined as a technique to generate closed form analytic expressions

with some or all parameters left lateral. This paper is intended to sho w a general method
called Inhibition method (IMe) which follo ws a hierarchical structuration that is h alfway
logical and halfway physical.

5. W.S.Lu, “A unified approach for the design of 2 -D digital filters via semidefinite
programming,” IEEE Transactions on Circuits and systems -I vol 49, no.6,pp814 -826, june 2002.

This paper attempts to demonstrate that a modern optimization methodology know as

semidefinite programming can be served as the algorithmic care of a unified design tool
for a variety of two dimensional digital filters.

 1. Jared Jones “Trusting integrated circuits in metering applications”, Electrical India sep 2003 vol.
43 no.12 pp 46-48.
Electricity meter manufacturers are revolutionizing the industry by designing electronic meters in
place of electromechanical meters. Many manufacturers (AD) are trusting ICs to prevent failures.

2. Tribhuvan kabra, “ Fire safe electrical wires” Electrical India Oct 2003 vol. 43 no.13 pp 36-38.
Electrical cables are the lifetime of electricity. The Indian electrical wire and cable industry is growing
by nearly 30% every year, and recently there were some new brilliant ideas brought in by them.

3. International copper promotional council(IPC) – “ Ensure electrical safety by proper housewiring”,

Electrical India Oct 2004 vol. 44 no.10 pp 56-59.
Unsafe house wiring could eventually lead to electrical failure, causing fire and destroying life and
costly equipments. This article presents some safety methods of housewiring.
