Strategic Adoption of 3D Printing in Multi-Product Supply Chains: Cost and Capacity Considerations
This paper explores the integration of Additive Manufacturing (or 3D printing) into decentralized supply chains, focusing on the strategic decisions manufacturers and retailers make when facing capacity constraints. Using a Stackelberg game framework, we analyze how AM impacts traditional wholesale pricing across two scenarios. First, a manufacturer producing two distinct products and second, a case involving multiple products, each affected by AM's capacity limitations. For the first scenario,…

Below 100 ps CTR using FastIC+, an ASIC including on-chip digitization for ToF-PET and beyond
This work presents the 8-channel FastIC+, a low-power consumption and highly configurable multi-channel front-end ASIC with internal digitization, for the readout of photo-sensors with picosecond time resolution and intrinsic gain. This ASIC, manufactured in 65 nm CMOS technology, can readout positive or negative polarity sensors and provides a digitized measurement of the arrival time and energy of the detected events with a power consumption of 12.5 mW per channel. On-chip digitization is exe…
