Information-theoretic approaches to branching in search
Deciding what to branch on at each node is a key element of search algorithms. We present four families of methods for selecting what question to branch on. They are all informati...

Tuneable Capacitor based on dual picks profile of the sacrificial layer
In this work, we describe a simple 1-mask sacrificial layer process that allows us to prototype a tuneable capacitor. The process is specially optimized to procure a dual picks pr...
