The main goal of this standardization job is to improve compression ratio with respect to the actual standard High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The new proposal uses some advanced Transform tools such as DCT8, DST1 and DCTS added to those used in the HEVC transform set. In this paper, a new transform algorithm is presented for VVC. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, which can attain 41.05% complexity reduction.","PeriodicalId":342516,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Design & Test of Integrated Micro & Nano-Systems (DTS)","volume":"473 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133605166","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}

This is due to its remarkable nonlinear characteristics and its ability to examine large-scale amounts of storing data and to implement bio-inspired neuromorphic systems used in analyzing data. Research on memristor modeling based on SPICE tools, that are commonly used in electronic systems simulations, has grown rapidly. The aim of this paper is to simulate different types of memristor switching behavior. A simple memristor SPICE model is used to explore four types of memristor. This includes bipolar switching behavior, unipolar switching behavior, bipolar switching behavior with forgetting effect and a reversible process between bipolar and unipolar switching behavior of a memristor. In order to validate this study, the simulation results were compared against experimental data. This comparison showed a good agreement between the simulation results and the experimental results, compared with various memristor models. The SPICE macromodel used in our simulations shows a special advantage for its flexibility and simplicity.","PeriodicalId":342516,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Design & Test of Integrated Micro & Nano-Systems (DTS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114144366","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}

To do so, new device has been developed based on light stimulation and stimulate optic nerve. This prosthesis is powered by inductive way using coil. In this paper, we propose a second generation of visual prosthesis based on photovoltaic pixel to power the chip and to capture the scene. So, the vision system is studied. we developed essentially the anatomophysiology of the retina, the optic nerve and the cortex. Each layer of the retina has been modeled and essentially the layers of the information pretreatment. A novel visual prosthesis design has been obtained: autonomy and wireless visual prosthesis.","PeriodicalId":342516,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Design & Test of Integrated Micro & Nano-Systems (DTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131031121","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 device is characterized at room temperature with different humidity rate (RH). The results showed that the subthreshold current (Ioff) level depends on the humidity rate especially due to the concomitant change of dielectrique leakage current and semiconductor conductivity. From 10% – 90% of humidity rate, we observe an increase of subthreshold current after 25% of RH, and this increase was found to be reversible by pumping down. However, the electrical parameters such as mobility and threshold voltage remain unchanged under humid environment. The results obtained in this work show for the first time, to our knowledge this kind of behavior in OFET top gate devices, pointing out the combination effects of both leakage current and conductivity increasing.","PeriodicalId":342516,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Design & Test of Integrated Micro & Nano-Systems (DTS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121372107","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 results show that the frequency of breathing and the beats of heart are well detected that validates our radar architecture.","PeriodicalId":342516,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Conference on Design & Test of Integrated Micro & Nano-Systems (DTS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125897709","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}
