Correlations between Achilles tendon moment arm and plantarflexor muscle architecture variables. by Logan Faux-Dugan, Stephen J Piazza

“…The production of triceps surae plantarflexion moment is complex in that the Achilles tendon moment arm affects the Achilles tendon force by determining the muscle length change and shortening velocity during ankle rotation. In addition, there is evidence for associations between the sizes of muscles and their moment arm at the joints they span. …”

Receiver Jitter Tracking Characteristics in High-Speed Source Synchronous Links by Ahmed Ragab, Yang Liu, Kangmin Hu, Patrick Chiang, Samuel Palermo

“…Tradeoffs in complexity and jitter tracking performance of common per-channel de-skew circuits are discussed, along with how band-pass filtering can be leveraged to provide additional jitter filtering at the receiver. Jitter tolerance analysis for a 10 Gb/s system shows that a near all-pass delay-locked loop (DLL) and phase-interpolator- (PI-) based de-skew performs best under low skew conditions, while, at high skew, architectures which leverage band-pass clock filtering or a phase-locked loop (PLL) for increased jitter filtering are more suitable. …”
