The project is based on two different sensor nodes functioning as fixed and mobile measurement devices around the given points of the laboratory located at our university. The demonstration presents a cost-effective solution of retrofitting machines with IoT-based sensor nodes, enabling new data acquisition functionalities. Also, the demonstration shows an example of a system from where the students can learn about IoT and Industry 4.0 requirements in their educational environment and from remote access. The project also highlights the importance of operational safety and health (OSH) in such workplaces. The paper presents the block diagrams and the functionalities of the sensor nodes.

The large parameter space of such systems can be reshaped into a tensorial form. In this context, the affine projection algorithm (APA) is an appealing solution, especially with correlated input signals. The recently developed tensor-based APA (APA-T) combines the solutions provided by the individual (shorter) filters, thus reformulating a high-dimension system identification problem based on low-dimension problems. Following the development of the APA-T, we propose in this paper an improved version of this algorithm, where different projection orders are used for the individual filters. This approach leads to a better compromise between performance and complexity.","PeriodicalId":426485,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 27th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128906916","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}

Since the latest version MIL-HDBK-217F Notice 2 released in 1995 [1], newer failure rate prediction standards had appeared on the electronic systems reliability market. These are introduced to compensate for the lack of the newest component technology in the above-mentioned standard. When it comes to reliability many studies have shown that the output capacitor bank is demonstrated to be the most critical component [3]. In this work, the failure rate of an output capacitor bank used within a high current low voltage buck converter is calculated both by the latest prediction standard SN 29500 and by with the previous standard MIL-HDBK, providing a comparison between the two which is a helpful tool for the output capacitor selection in the early stage design. The components’ environmental conditions were defined by a standard POL buck converter used for both calculation methodologies. Results are compared by taking account of the influence of the component’s temperature and application of specific parameters such as temperature cycles.","PeriodicalId":426485,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 27th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114991969","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}

A recent trend is to apply these techniques that have proven to generate excellent results to Edge computing. However, Edge computing is based on simple low power devices, which are severely restricted in terms of computational power and especially by the available memory size. Being able to pack the Neural Network parameters in the available memory efficiently is a must. Normally, memory systems expect transactions to be aligned to the bus size for maximum performance. This can result in inefficient memory utilization, as the groups of parameters required to be read in parallel need to be stored aligned in memory. In this paper, I present a memory controller to provide unaligned memory transfers at full bus width. When using this controller, the memory efficiency can be increased by 25%, while preserving the memory access time.","PeriodicalId":426485,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 27th International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125936474","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}
