Doctors perform different experiments to detect the epilepsy and type of it. Most common and the best way to epilepsy detection is analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. In this paper, we present a new method for classifying the brain activities in order to detect epilepsy seizures. The proposed method is based on time-frequency analysis of EEG signals using stationary wavelet transform (SWT). At first, four level SWT of EEG signal is obtained and then the coefficients are down-sampled with factor 2. After that, the local binary pattern (LBP) of the obtained coefficients are calculated and LBP coefficients are modeled with GARCH model. The parameters of GARCH model construct the feature vector and K-nearest neighbor and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers are used for classification. Results show that our proposed method has the better classification accuracy than the recently proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121155512","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 particular, detection of low-latency spikes from directly activated neurons at the stimulating electrodes remains virtually impossible. We tested a new idea for artifact reduction, based on an optimized correction pulse applied to the stimulating electrode instantly after the stimulation pulse. The correction pulse is expected to generate its own artifact compensating the remaining artifact resulting from the stimulation pulse. We verified the model in numerical simulations using realistic model of the electrode impedance and schematic of our new CMOS integrated circuit dedicated to electrical stimulation and recording of neuronal activity. We analyzed the artifact level at the output of the recording amplifier to take into account its filtering properties. The results suggest that our method will allow for reliable detection of responses from activated neurons even on the electrodes generating the stimulation signals.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115670808","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 tunneling barrier is defined by a compact solution of the electrostatics and is approximated by an area equivalent triangular profile. For this profile the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation (WKB) is applied. Referring to the area instead of the electric field at single points is shown to be more robust regarding numerical stability. By comparing the results of the approach with numerical TCAD Sentaurus simulation data of a double-gate (DG) TFET for various bias conditions and geometric positions within the device, the numerical stability as well as the limitations are demonstrated. Furthermore, the comparison to a quasi-2D WKB approach, the derived model shows a better fit to TCAD data at a reduced complexity.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130234080","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}

Experiments are carried out for TID of 100, 200 and up to 500 Mrad(SiO2) and at −30°C, 0°C, and 25°C. We find that parameters are least degraded at −30°C. However, short-channel NMOSTs show a significant degradation of slope factor, which is more severe at 0°C than at 25°C. In contrast, the slope factor in short-channel PMOSTs shows lowest sensitivity to high TID.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130046703","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}

Measurement examples of high power LEDs are shown and the state-of-art of the modeling efforts is demonstrated in case studies.

Training deep networks involves the utilization of a loss function, such as cross entropy. In this paper, we propose a novel auxiliary loss function, the Silhouette Loss, for training deep networks with the objective of obtaining feature representations that are both tightly clustered and highly separable. We are motivated by the need for well-clustered features that can generalize effectively for the classification of diverse test samples. We also introduce an adaptive scaling scheme for the regularization parameter of the auxiliary loss, which improves robustness and eliminates the selection of another hyperparameter. By training a small network with our auxiliary loss we achieve classification performance that is comparable to that of larger networks, yet our network is more efficient and utilizes much fewer parameters.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121173699","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}
