We investigate the mesoscopic resistor-capacitor circuit consisting of a quantum dot coupled to spatially separated Majorana fermion modes in a chiral topological superconductor. We find substantially enhanced relaxation resistance due to the nature of Majorana fermions, which are their own antiparticles and are composed of particle and hole excitations in the same abundance. Further, if only a single Majorana mode is involved, the zero-frequency relaxation resistance is completely suppressed due to a destructive interference. As a result, the Majorana mode opens an exotic dissipative channel on a superconductor which is typically regarded as dissipationless due to its finite superconducting gap.

The split-charge equilibration method is extended to describe dissipative charge transfer similarly as the Drude model, whereby the complex-valued frequency-dependent dielectric permittivities or conductivities of dielectrics and metals can be mimicked at non-zero frequencies. To demonstrate its feasibility, a resistor-capacitor circuit is simulated using an all-atom representation for the resistor and capacitor. The dynamics reproduce the expected charging process and Nyquist noise, the latter resulting from the thermal voltages acting on individual split charges.

The muscle cell or neuron membrane is functionally equivalent to a resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit with the membrane resistance and capacitor in parallel. Once inserted inside the membrane, an electrode introduces a serial resistance and small capacitance to the RC circuit. Through a narrow opening at its tip (∼0.

The reliability of the resistor-capacitor (RC) time constant of a continuous-time (CT) filter has long been an obstacle with integrated circuits. Due to process and temperature variations in complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the absolute value of the RC time constant may vary over ±50%, which is a big issue for many integrated continuous-time analog circuits. This study proposes an on-chip RC time constant auto-tuning scheme.

In this paper, the stochastic sampled-data exponential synchronization problem for Markovian jump neural networks (MJNNs) with time-varying delays and the reachable set estimation (RSE) problem for MJNNs subjected to external disturbances are investigated. Firstly, assuming that two sampled-data periods satisfy Bernoulli distribution, and introducing two stochastic variables to represent the unknown input delay and the sampled-data period respectively, the mode-dependent two-sided loop-based Lyapunov functional (TSLBLF) is constructed, and the conditions for the mean square exponential stability of the error system are derived. Furthermore, a mode-dependent stochastic sampled-data controller is designed.

The state of charge (SOC) for a lithium-ion battery is a key index closely related to battery performance and safety with respect to the power supply system of electric vehicles. The Kalman filter (KF) or extended KF (EKF) is normally employed to estimate SOC in association with the relatively simple and fast second-order resistor-capacitor (RC) equivalent circuit model for SOC estimations. To improve the stability of SOC estimation, a two-stage method is developed by combining the second-order RC equivalent circuit model and the eXogenous Kalman filter (XKF) to estimate the SOC of a lithium-ion battery.
