The proposed design is analysed with respect to execution time and throughput, revealing its effectiveness in comparison to conventional approaches. Also, its performance in terms of execution time and throughput is presented by comparison to the DES, IDEA and AES cryptographic algorithms, which have been extensively used in the past few decades, and also to other implementations of the NXT algorithm previously developed. The IDEA NXT crypto-algorithm surfaced only a few years ago and little work was done so far to prove its theoretical strengths or to bring improvements, and that is what this study tries to cover.","PeriodicalId":267846,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 19th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126876052","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}

There are two main considerations discussed. One is with regards to real-time constraints in the context of industrial process control. The second is the possibility of transferring some tasks from the process controller towards the Android device (tablet or smart phone). Therefore, after analyzing the current implementations together with their limitations, we designed an evaluation framework. The main goal of the new structure will be to analyze the limitations of balancing processing load between process controller and Android device's resources. The structure is comprised of a cheap Android tablet connected to an embedded module via an USB cable. The embedded module has as his core a state-of-art ARM Cortex M4F processor for industrial applications. The proposed solution provides the advantages derived from both components. The implementation required driver development, considerations which are also presented briefly.","PeriodicalId":267846,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 19th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116939356","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 layer formation model is a supplement of a board level condensation model which calculates the condensate mass on the surface of the soldered PCB. The Galden layer formation model applies combined transport mechanisms including convective mass transport by the hydrostatic pressure difference in the layer and the gravity force; conductive and convective heat transport. The model applies the Finite Difference Method (FDM) and the three dimensional Forward Time Central Space (FTCS) method. The model can describe the dynamic formation and change of the Galden layer on the PCB surface and the change of the mass and energy flow in the condensate layer. This way the effect of the Galden layer changes on the heating of the soldered PCB can be investigated.","PeriodicalId":267846,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 19th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131773681","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 size of the available devices forces them to be placed outside the measurement setup, allowing a large influence of the electric noise. Supplementary, they are unable to measure during the transient phenomena and expensive (“sourcemeters” available from different producers). This paper presents a more convenient solution (under 500 euros) for fast automatically measuring the characteristics in the range of 10pA to 1000nA. A major advantage of this device is its size (10×6×10cm), allowing it to fit into the shielding enclosure, together with the probe, needle manipulator and microscope. It allows the experimenter to specify the voltage range and the number of measuring points and it automatically provides the resulting data file, without raising neither the uncertainty level (under 10pA), nor the measuring time (down to 0.1 seconds per measuring point). The error is kept low through active guarding, mains synchronization, careful shielding and the use of extremely low bias amplifiers (3fA). The device communicates with the host computer via the galvanic isolated USB interface and does not require separate power supply (USB powered).","PeriodicalId":267846,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 19th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115600352","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 electronic ballast circuit proposed is based on two power converters, like a boost converter with power factor correction (PFC) and an a half bridge converter with resonant circuit in order to turn on one or more lamps. Taking into account the practical and technological constraints, the necessary frequency converter must be based on a DC voltage source, a capacitive divider and a series-resonant single-phase power inverter (half-bridge converter). The need for a boost converter is explained by the fact that the half bridge converter feeds with DC voltage and the presence of a simple rectifier would not solve the problems caused by distortions on the supply network. The result obtained validates the operation of the circuit and the paper presents the waveforms for output voltage and current and the total harmonic distortion and power factor correction on input AC voltage.","PeriodicalId":267846,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 19th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126517443","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}
