Design of minimum sensitivity multiple loop feedback bandpass active filters

A method is described for determining multiple loop feedback topologies which yield minimum sensitivities for symmetrical, all-pole bandpass filters. The procedure begins with a follow-the-leader feedback (FLF) topology and additional feedback loops are constructed until minimum sensitivity is achieved. Filters comprised of identical second-order sections and non-identical sections, respectively, are considered.     

Quantum pharmacology

Quantum chemistry is based on the solution of the Schrödinger equation for a molecule. From starting data on the positions and nature of constituent atoms information is provided about the energy of the molecule and its electronic properties. The former can indicate what shapes drugs can adopt in binding to pharmacological receptors whilst electronic details, when compared using computer graphics, may highlight the factors responsible for biological activity. These techniques are beginning to show real successes in the design of drug molecules.
