Compared with the conventional voltage reference, the circuit uses current conveying technique, so it won't be affected by DC voltage drops of power supply network, and it features low transmission loss, good matching, excellent temperature stability, small chip size and auto-startup at power-on.

Abstract: An educational institution (also referred as a university) is rich with multiple kinds of data: students, faculty members, departments, divisions, and at university level. Relating and correlating this data at and across various levels help in obtaining a perspective about the educational institution.

A system and method for the construction of such a structural representation of an educational institution based on the educational institution specific information is discussed.
