Several simple circuits with rather complex nonlinearities are presented, essentially based on diodes and varistors. These circuits are believed to extend the family of chaotic circuits based on diodes, as illustrated by the literature. Potential applications to chaotic sensors are briefly discussed.
This paper explores the application of a Machine Vision and Machine Learning Algorithm to a Manipulator with six degrees of freedom (6-DOF). A Kinect sensor were used to extract images from a screen and obtain the relevant target information. Image processing was accomplished using a Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) Algorithm to capture image of the target object. The processed visual is rendered...
Left ventricular ejection time (LVET) is an important component of systolic time intervals. It has been used as a surrogate for left ventricular contractility and stroke volume. We developed a method for the assessment of LVET from wrist cuff pulse waveforms. The waveforms are obtained from a partially inflated cuff held at the level of the heart. Each test involved acquisition of 10 second sample...
Precise control methods of the electric drives with induction machines like field oriented control (FOC) or direct torque control (DTC) need an accurate model of the machine they control. Certain parameters of the model have to be obtained with sufficient accuracy before the drive can be put into the operation. This article concerns an offline parameter identification method that is suitable for on-site...
A system for evaluating instrument current transformer errors using a lock-in amplifier is described in the paper. The difference between the standard and the transformer under test is evaluated as the ratio error and the phase displacement. The attention is focused to measurement of errors at the range of primary currents less than 20% of the nominal value. The measurement accuracy of current and...
This contribution discusses algorithms for strong authentication of applications in mobile devices. The current LTE and IMS networks provide strong authentication using USIM smart cards based on AKA algorithm. The problem of this authentication is that this authentication is under the sole control of Telco operators. We can expect that more applications will be placed into the IMS environment in the...
This paper talks about the most problematic issues brought by interferences in the New Generation Networks and their impact on the network s data throughput with focus on the inter-cell interferences. The most important ways to avoid interferences while planning a network are mentioned. In particular frequency reuse, power control and MIMO antenna arrays. Also, interference regeneration and cancelation...
The quality of TRNG designs mainly depends on the grade of the noise source from which the entropy will be harvested to extract randomness. Especially for purely digital noise sources suitable for FPGA implementations the use of Ring Oscillators is suggested in many scientific publications. Standard Ring Oscillator based noise sources however have earned some criticism regarding the amount of entropy...
The paper addresses a top-down design flow of depletion-load digital inverter formed by monolithically integrated depletion-mode and enhancement-mode high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on common InAlN/GaN heterostructure grown on sapphire substrate. We describe the inverter design at transistor level using HSPICE models developed earlier. The inverter layout representation, which also defines...
Clock glitches are useful in hardware security applications, where systems are tested for vulnerabilities emerging from fault attacks. Usually a precisely timed and controlled glitch signal is employed. However, this requires complex generators and deep knowledge about the system under attack. Therefore we present a novel approach on clock glitch fault attacks that replaces the single precise glitch...
Today's trend of an increasing number of networked embedded devices pervades many areas. Ranging from home automation, industrial or automotive applications with a large number of different protocols, low resources and often high demands on real-time make it difficult to secure the communication of such systems. A concept of an uncoupled MAC which is able to ensure the authenticity and integrity of...
The article focuses on a method of quantifying movement of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using wearable motion capture (MoCap) system and bilateral cyclograms. The method uses cyclogram characteristics such as the slope, second moment of area and the area of the cyclogram to compare movements of left and right side of body. For symmetric movement, cyclogram should lie on a symmetry line passing...
This brief presents a new architecture for an ultra-low power and area-efficient 8-channel prototype of a neural signal recording front-end circuitry. For implantable neural recording circuits, low power and low area are two of the most critical requirements. In contrast to architectures existing in the literature, the presented recording path is centered on a single high-performance programmable...
Grid connected inverters with LCL output filters are widely used in exporting energy generated from renewable energy sources. The LCL filter and inductors used in this filter has important effect on inverter performance. Although it is different in high power levels nowadays, powder cores are commonly used in inductor design in low and medium power levels. In this study, inductors for LCL filter of...
This paper presents a GaN transistor half-bridge prototype with robust pulse by pulse current limiting drivers designed to turn off safely the transistor for the rest of the PWM period when the drain current exceeds the set value. The half-bridge is intended as the key part of a DC/AC converter output stage with operating frequency up to 1 MHz. The current limiting circuit is designed to meet the...
