The proposed method extends a graph-based circuit description known as a Galois-field arithmetic circuit graph (GF-ACG) to Linear-time Temporal Logic (LTL) in order to represent the timing property of pipelined circuits. We first present the extension of GF-ACG and its formal verification using computer algebra. We then demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method through an experimental design of a lightweight cryptographic processor. In particular, we design a tamper-resistant datapath with threshold Implementation (TI) based on pipelining and multi-party computation. The proposed method can verify the processor within 1 h, whereas conventional methods would fail.","PeriodicalId":246194,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 46th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114374097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It consists of an antenna, a receiver, and a spectrometer. The spectrometer converts the time domain signal into the frequency domain signal by an FFT operation. This paper proposes an FFT circuit based on nested residue number system (NRNS). Since the FFT operation is the most computationally intensive part, parallel implementation is necessary to realize a high-speed FFT. We used an FPGA to implement the circuit. The FPGA consists of look-up tables (LUTs) and block RAMs (BRAMs). For direct parallel FFT realization using an existing FPGA library, the number of LUTs for the complex multipliers is the bottleneck. To reduce the number of LUTs in an FPGA, we increase the dynamic range stage by stage. In this case, NRNS2NRNS converters that convert smaller dynamic range to larger dynamic range are necessary. We implemented the proposed NRNS FFT on the Xilinx Corp. Virtex 7 FPGA. Compared with a conventional binary FFT, although the number of block RAMs (BRAMs) was increased by 20.0-156.5%, in the RNS FFT, the number of LUTs was decreased by 42.4-47.8%and the maximum clock frequency was increased by 9.3-41.7%.With this technique, we successfully implemented an FFT that satisfied the required size and speed specifications on an available FPGA, since the excessive number of LUTs was the bottleneck of the binary FFT.","PeriodicalId":246194,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 46th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124685614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition, phase shifts, or entanglement lead to a logic model which poses serious challenges to the development of a proper design flow for quantum circuits. Consequently, researchers addressed synthesis of quantum circuits not as a single design step, but considered sub-tasks such as synthesis of Boolean components or synthesis of restricted subsets of quantum functionality. Generating a particularly desired quantum state is another of these sub-tasks. However, logic synthesis of quantum circuits accomplishing that has hardly been considered yet. In this work, we propose a generic method which automatically synthesizes a quantum circuit generating any desired quantum state from an initially given basis state. The proposed method allows for both, a theoretical determination of upper bounds as well as an experimental evaluation of the number of quantum gates needed for this important design step.","PeriodicalId":246194,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 46th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114023547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assume the function to be sparse i.e. |S| is 'small' relative to the cardinality of the domain. We show that by embedding the domain {0,1,...,q-1}n, where n is the number of variables and q is a prime power, in a suitable ring structure, the multiplicative structure of the ring can be used to construct a linear function {0,1,...,q-1}n {0,1,...,q-1}m that is injective on S provided that m > 2logq |S| + logq(n - 1). In this way we find a linear transform that reduces the number of variables from n to m, and can be used e.g. in implementation of an incompletely defined discrete function by using linear decomposition.","PeriodicalId":246194,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 46th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114726523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, information on signs or notices is inaccessible to many visually impaired people. Therefore, automatically reading text from natural scene images becomes an important application to assist the visually impaired. However, finding text in scene images is a great challenge because it cannot be assumed that the acquired image contains only characters. Natural scene images usually contain diverse text in different size, fonts, orientations and colors, and complex backgrounds such as windows, bricks, and character-like texture. Therefore, this paper proposes a new method to support the scene text reading. This method mainly includes tow parts: (1) image segmentation and, (2) character extraction. The algorithm is implemented and evaluated using a set of natural scene images. Accuracy of the proposed method are calculated and analyzed to determine the success and limitations.
