Systems indicate chaotic behaviour through phase space boundedness and positive Lyapunov exponent. Low-significance bits form a PRNG and pass all tests in the NIST SP. 800-22 suite without post-processing. Real-time control of the number of scrolls allows distinct output streams with 2-D and 3-D multiscroll chaos enabling greater controllability. The proposed PRNGs are experimentally verified on a Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA with logic utilization less than 1.25%, throughput up to 5.25 Gbits/s and up to 512 distinct output streams with low cross-correlation.","PeriodicalId":324891,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 55th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131554303","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}

These wireless sensors are responsible for collecting, processing, and transmitting vital information such as: blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, electrocardiographic (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG) and oxygenation signals to provide continuous health monitoring with real-time feedback to the users and medical centers. In order to fully exploit the benefits of WBANs for important applications such as Electronic Health (EH), Mobile Health (MH), and Ambulatory Health Monitoring (AHM), the power consumption must be minimized. Since Wireless Nodes (WNs) in WBANs are usually driven by battery power consumption is the most important factor to determine the life of WBANs. This paper presents the applications of Compressed Sensing (CS) theory in WBANs. We have achieved networks with low-sampling rate and low-power consumption on a number of applications. A combination of CS theory to WBANs is the optimal solution for achieving the networks with low-sampling rate and low-power consumption. Our simulation results in ECG signals show that sampling rate can be reduced t0 25% and power consumption to 35% without sacrificing performances by employing the CS theory to WBANs.","PeriodicalId":324891,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 55th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114999930","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}

With the advantages of portability, cost minimization, higher precision combined with better throughput - these devices are finding increasing applications in the areas of point of care diagnostics, parallel immunoassays, drug design, DNA sequencing as well as environmental toxicity monitoring and others. Advanced design automation strategies are developed to facilitate multiple bioassay operation to be enabled simultaneously on a single microfluidic biochip. On completion of these Bioassay protocols the detection is enabled at the optical detection sites within the chip area itself. In this work we have proposed a unique design of an automated droplet detection analyzer to be coupled with the targeted biochip for providing detailed analysis result based on the data acquired through optical detection. This newly proposed design not only enables the detection analysis of samples based on predefined characterized results - but also enhances the process of integration of multiple biochips to perform different set of test sequences on different biochips on the basis of these analysis results obtained in the proposed analyzer. The architecture, synthesis and simulation of the proposed droplet analyzer for signals obtained from Blood oxygen analysis, each for multiple samples in a single biochip has been displayed in this paper - and the results are found to be quite encouraging.","PeriodicalId":324891,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 55th International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127277601","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 different coefficients used and compared are: Real Cepstral Coefficients (RCC), Mel Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficients (LPCC), and Perceptual Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficients (PLPCC). The feature extraction methods will be used in conjunction with a Vector Quantization (VQ) method and a Euclidean distance classifier to find the best recognition rate among the feature extraction features.
