Delay in digital circuits that are operated in the subthreshold region of a MOSFET changes exponentially with variations in threshold voltage. To mitigate such variations, threshold-voltage monitoring and supply-voltage scaling techniques are adopted. By monitoring the threshold voltage of each LSI chip and exploiting the voltage to supply voltage to subthreshold digital circuits, variations in delay time can be suppressed significantly. Monte Carlo SPICE simulation demonstrates that delay-time distribution can be improved from log-normal to normal. The coefficient of variation for the proposed technique is 31%.","PeriodicalId":254577,"journal":{"name":"2009 52nd IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122361719","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}

Algorithms which minimize the complexity of multiplications of the input image matrix and the DCT matrix focus on reducing the number of full adders (NFAs) needed to implement the multiplication. In this paper, we have successfully proposed a novel technique to reduce considerably the NFAs, and thereby both the power consumption and time delay involved in implementing the image-DCT multiplication. The authors make use of row-column transformations of the input image matrix exploiting the symmetry of the DCT. Design results show that our method gives an average reduction in power of about 10.5% when compared to Differential Pixel Implementation (DPI) [12] and 16.5% when compared to the conventional implementation. The proposed method can also be made recursive, which can further reduce the NFAs for the implementation.","PeriodicalId":254577,"journal":{"name":"2009 52nd IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"322 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122624393","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}

In this paper new results are presented which show that when the resonator is driven hard to enhance the change in amplitude any change in the resonator parameters is followed by a delayed response. Results from numerical simulations and tests of a ‘Duffing’ circuit are then presented that show that this undesirable behaviour can be avoided by carefully selecting the force used to drive the resonator. This proposed driving scheme is expected to give rise to fast, reliable, sensitive mass sensor.","PeriodicalId":254577,"journal":{"name":"2009 52nd IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123012589","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}

The present work proposes the combination of two algorithms in the creation of a new vector quantization scheme. First, an associative network is obtained applying a Learning Algorithm for Multivariate Data Analysis (LAMDA) to a codebook generated by means of the LBG algorithm, the purpose of this network is to establish a relation between the training set and the codebook generated by the LBG algorithm; this associative network is a new codebook (LAMDA-codebook) used by the scheme proposed in this work (VQ-LAMDA). Second, considering the LAMDA-codebook as the central element, we use the classification phase of the LAMDA methodology to obtain a rapid search process; the function of this process is generate the set of the class indexes to which every input vector belongs, completing the vector quantization. Furthermore, it is described how to apply the vector quantization scheme proposed to image compression.","PeriodicalId":254577,"journal":{"name":"2009 52nd IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123032321","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}

As a result, the small signal settling time decreases and then, the locking time is reduced, significantly while the loop stability increases, as well. The performance of this architecture has been verified in an example.

This architecture is a relatively simple and robust design where the only analog components required outside of the pixel array are shared row comparators and a voltage mode digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to supply the in-pixel charge feedback structures. The photodiode acts as the integrator of the ΣΔ modulator and an in-pixel charge feedback DAC is realized with two PMOS transistors. A third, minimum size PMOS transistor operating in the cut-off region provides capacitive coupling through which a controlled amount of charge is injected to the photodiode. The sensitivity of the image sensor is determined by the size of the feedback charge packets in the ΣΔ modulator. The remainder of the image sensor is all digital, including a decimation filter to convert each pixel's single bit output stream into a multi-bit sample. We fabricated a test pixel structure in the TSMC-0.35µm CMOS technology with 10µm × 10µm pixels and a fill factor of 31%.

In this paper a forensics network model is proposed, which allows to obtain the existing evidence in an involved TCP/IP network. This Model uses the Fuzzy Logic and the Artificial Neural Networks to detect the Network flows that realize suspicious activities in the network or hosts, minimizing also the cost and the time to process the information in order to discriminate which are normal network flows and which has been subjected to attacks and intrusions.","PeriodicalId":254577,"journal":{"name":"2009 52nd IEEE International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116330795","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}
