Over the past decades, a variety of researches have been carried out to detect arc signals using frequency characteristics, wavelet analysis and statistical features. However, the usage of those features has shown low arc-detection performance. To solve this, we employ variational mode decomposition (VMD) to generate more time-domain signals, from which statistical features are computed from VMD mode signals, providing more informative features. Using a deep neural network (DNN) as an arc classifier, experiments validate that the VMD could improve the arc-detection performance by 4 percent.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134102470","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}

Initiatives like DARPA IDEA have addressed this challenge by aiming for a 24-hour design turnaround time, maximum resource utilization, and productivity of ICs. In this paper, we proposed a robust ensemble learning model to predict DRC from the placement stage, which precisely predicts design routability and DRC hotspots of a design. The proposed algorithm uses a soft voting classifier to combine random forest and gradient boosting algorithms. Our approach achieved a maximum precision, recall, and F1 score of 97%, 97%, and 96%, respectively, which are significantly better than the state- of-the-art support-vector machine (SVM)-based prediction scheme.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131509044","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}

Synthesis of ultra-large area atomic layer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) on a flexible substrate is the kernel of the fabrication process. In this work, we successfully transferred the ultra-large area of MoSe2 atomic layer flakes on Kapton film with gold-mediated exfoliation method. The large area MoSe2 nanosheet works as an active chemical gas sensing channel for flexible functional devices. The two terminal flexible gas sensor exhibited high responsivity under concentration for NH3 and NO2 of 5ppm and 1ppm, respectively. The flexible electronics were bent and further tested with an external circuit. In addition, an artificial intelligent data processing method with machine learning is applied to localize the toxic gas source. These results suggested that wearable large area MoSe2 atomic layer is promising for wearable environmental detection applications.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130863230","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 colored image is converted into three parallel time series that correspond to the basic RGB color components. The time series are used to modulate the parameters of the chaotic transmitter, using a simple digital encryption function. At the receiver side, a decryption function is used to reconstruct the original time series to reassemble the transmitted colored image. Synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver is achieved, using an adaptive control approach that relies on Lyapunov-based techniques. A single time series of the chaotic transmitter is transmitted in the public communication channel to promote security and utilization efficiency of the available transmission bandwidth. To implement the suggested technique, a Duffing oscillator is used, which has three parameters that are alternating between two levels, corresponding to the changes in the binary levels of the bit stream of the converted color image. Eight different chaotic attractors are generated resulting in a much superior performance, compared to the classical modulation-based chaotic communicators. Arriving at the best parameter update law that guarantees both stability and satisfactory transient performance is carefully investigated to highlight the advantages and limitations of the proposed strategy. Finally, a discussion is submitted, with comments regarding the design/tuning effort, real-time compatibility, and possible extensions to the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133340955","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}
