However it suffers from many flaws due to a native lack of reliability and sensitivity against modeling and physical attacks. In the state-of-the-art, the enhancement of reliability involves the use of a helper data which takes advantage of Error-Correcting Codes (ECC), situated after the entropy source, thus increasing the overall PUF complexity and creating leakages exploited by Side Channel Attacks.This paper presents a new method to generate Helper Data, situated before the entropy source, which does not use ECC but still improves drastically the reliability of the PUF. It also provides high entropy and proven resistance against the attacks on the helper data. This method applies to \"strong\" delay PUFs used as master key generators, thus unsensitive to modeling attacks (the PUF responses are never disclosed). The validation has been done on real ASIC devices fabricated in CMOS 45 nm technology and shows that the reliability can be as low as 10−8 of Bit Error Rate.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114517050","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 contrast to state-of-art approaches based on nano-transducers, the aforementioned single-molecule transistor (SiMoT) sensing technology is based on millimeter-sized transistors where the gate is bio-functionalized with about a trillion of antibodies. In this work we provide a detailed investigation of SiMoT biosensors by studying and quantifying the device parameters affected by the biorecognition event. The study combines both measurements and theoretical analyses, showing that a single protein detection taking place at nanometer scale affects a millimeter scale area of the biofunctionalized gate electrode. The dimension of the bioprobe domains affected by the binding is calculated as a function of the nominal protein concentration in the analyte solution. These results provide important insight into the SiMoT biosensor technology, which can guide the development of multi-modal SiMoT detection and integrated SiMoT biosensors arrays.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127768280","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 traditional method requires one operator that blows the sponge and one operator in the receiving end that manually evaluate the sponges until a dry sponge is received. The proposed system eliminates the need of a second operator by introducing a solution for automatic sponge detection and characterization of moisture in sponges at the receiving end. An optical sensor is used for detection and a capacitive sensor is developed to measure the sponge’s wetness. Sensor data is automatically transmitted back to the operator at the feeding end via a mobile phone. The system is characterized to work with sponges ranging from saturated with wetness to what is deemed as dry.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133078135","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}

Typically, the symbolization includes data-analysis algorithms that translate physical processes from experimental measurements into a series of discrete symbols (e.g., bit strings). For the BCI application, the chosen symbolization algorithm is the Local Binary Pattern (LBP).Since the selected LBP method uses binary operations for the whole processing chain (end-to-end), the complexity and the computing timing of the features extraction (FE) and real-time classification stages have been strongly reduced.Finally, a time-continuous Support Vector Machine (tcSVM) classifies the LBP-extracted features.The here proposed BCI algorithm has been validated on 3 subjects (aged 26±1), who underwent a stimulation protocol oriented to Movement-Related Potentials (MRPs) elicitation. The in-vivo validation showed how the system is able to reach an intention recognition accuracy of 85.61 ± 1.19 %. In addition, starting from the complete data storage, the whole implemented computing chain asks, on average, for just ~3ms to provide the classification.As a proof of concept, the tcSVM outcomes have been used to drive, via Bluetooth, a 3D printed robotic hand.","PeriodicalId":330672,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 8th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122347183","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 approach is applied directly to the sensor without using a voltage divider and is based on a well-known signal processing principle: a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system’s Impulse Response (IR) is estimated by stimulating the system with a Maximum Length Sequence (MLS) and thus performing the circular cross-correlation between input and output signals. Finally, the system’s frequency response, i.e. the impedance spectrum, is obtained through the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the estimated impulse response. The technique is demonstrated in simulation environment using a time-invariant passive network that simulates a MOX sensor.

A proper data model and an ontology support the annotation of body postures and gestures. The proposed system automatically annotates Kinect data with a Semantic Web standard logic formalism and then attempts to recognize postures by applying a semantic-based matchmaking between descriptions and reference body poses stored in a Knowledge Base. In addition, sequences of postures are compared in order to recognize gestures.
