In the OFDM modulator, latency is composed of the latencies of inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT), re-ordering and cyclic prefix (CP) addition. The proposed scheme reduces this latency by adding a phase pre-rotator to the IFFT input part and implementing IFFT with decimation in time (DIT) structure. Since this makes the output of IFFT be in-order and contain the cyclic prefix, the OFDM modulation latency is reduced by half compared to the conventional design. Implemented in VHDL, the operation of the proposed OFDM modulator is successfully verified for the three different types of cyclic prefixes in LTE.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115861212","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 obtained GPS information can be utilized for two main purposes, namely geo-tagging and tracking. GPS enabled various innovative applications such as photo album arrangement, tracking of taxi/bus, estimation of calories burned during an outdoor cycling session, etc. However, the storage of GPS information has not been addressed sufficiently and hence it can be easily tampered. This study surveys the current storage method for GPS location information. The drawbacks are identified and the data embedding approach is proposed as a more flexibly and practical way in storing the GPS location information. In particular, data embedding methods are proposed to embed the GPS information in text, audio, image and video contents that can be handled by a smart device.

This platform serves as an intermediary of the electrical activities of cardiac cells and the signal processing / dynamics analysis. Through it the extracellular potential of cardiac cells is acquired, allowing a real-time monitoring / analyzing. Since MEA has 60 electrodes / channels dispatched in a rectangular region, it allows real-time monitoring and signal acquisition on multiple sites. The in vitro experimental model (cardiomyocytes cultures from newborn rats'heart) is directly prepared on the MEA. This carefully prepared culture has similar parameters as cell of human's heart. In order to discriminate the cardiac arrhythmia, complexity analysis methods (Approximate Entropy, ApEn and Sample Entropy, SampEn) are used especially taking into account noise. The results showed that, in case of arrhythmia, the ApEn and SampEn are reduced to about 50% of the original entropies. Both parameters could be used as factors to discriminate arrhythmia. Moreover, from a point of view of biophysics this decrease 50% of Entropy coincides with the bifurcation (periods, attractors etc.) in case of arrhythmia which have been reported previously. It supports once more the hypothesis that in case of cardiac arrhythmia, the heart entered into chaos which helps to better understand the mechanism of atrial fibrillation.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129241605","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}

A proxy is placed at the boundary of a wireless LAN (WLAN) and a wired network and it splits a TCP connection into two virtual TCP connections. We proposed a split-connection type proxy called MDA-Proxy (Modified Decreasing-ACK Proxy), which increases throughput of upflows (flows from wireless hosts to wired hosts) by decreasing the number of ACKs in a WLAN. MDA-Proxy uses two parameters, ack_stock and delay_timer, for each connection. The former controls the number of ACKs sent to a WLAN and the latter is used to recover from losses and delays of ACKs in a wired network. However, it is assumed that MDA-Proxy uses fixed values of the two parameters and their automatic tuning in response to network situation remains to be future work. In this paper, we propose a new type of proxy called ASA-Proxy (Ack_Stock Autotunning Proxy), which automatically tunes the two parameters in MDA-Proxy. Ack_stock is tuned comparing throughputs before and after its changing so that throughput of the connection becomes large, and delay_timer is replaced by the normal TCP retransmission timer because it is better than a fixed value of delay_timer for the inference of losses and delays of ACKs in a wired network. Extensive simulation runs show that ASA-Proxy is superior to MDA-Proxy.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129602376","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}

MI has been broadly characterized by the average of event-related changes of brain activity at specific frequency bands; but, temporal features of EEG have rarely been considered to identify different mental states of BCIs' users. Additionally, complex classification techniques may have been proposed to enhance the accuracy of system but they may cause a notable delay during online applications. This paper investigated the application of neural network-based algorithms to classify three-class MIs by utilizing EEG time-domain features. Integrated EEG (IEEG) and Root Mean Square (RMS) features were extracted from EEG signals. Then, Multilayer Perceptron and Radial Basis Function Neural Networks were employed to classify the features. The discrimination ratio of such features were examined and compared through different classifiers. Moreover, the robustness of classifiers was investigated and compared. The results of this study indicated that RMS was more capable than IEEG for characterizing MI movements and RBF was more accurate and faster than MLP. The effectiveness of IEEG and RMS features and the performance of MLP and RBF classifiers were compared with Willison Amplitude (WAMP) feature and support vector machine (SVM) classifier respectively. This study proved that WAMP and SVM were more efficient for classification of MI tasks in both terms of accuracy (88.96%) and training time (0.5 second); however, considerable difference was not observed since RBF performed as fast as SVM with only about 3% less accuracy.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133780269","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}

Heatsinks are normally designed to be near power amplifier circuit. The heatsink radiations are undesirable for some applications and should be minimized to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). However in certain applications the design of heatsinks are unavoidable. The use of heatsink as a radiating or receiving electromagnetic radiation will be of significant value if heatsink is designed as an antenna. The fabrication of 3D antennas depends on the designed resonant frequency. As the antennas are made smaller physically, their resonant frequency increases, so building millimeter-wave capable antennas using conventional semiconductor processing techniques becomes feasible. The fabrication of on-chip antenna heatsinks for high frequency radiations can be visualized using a novel self assembly process. The self assembly(SA) technique is driven by surface tension property to pull the 2D metal patterns into 3D structures. The SA method involves conventional semiconductor steps with an additional dip soldering and reflow steps to develop 3D antennas. In our previous paper we have investigated antenna properties of 3D structures as an antenna for two different frequencies: low (2.4 GHz) and high (23.78 GHz) frequencies. This paper provides the simulation of truncated square pyramid (TSP) 3D structures which has high fabrication yield among all other structures. The simulation of TSP structures as an antenna is also demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":270495,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE REGION 10 SYMPOSIUM","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117003392","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}
