Addendum-Erratum to Nonsmooth Modeling and Simulation for Switched Circuits
This Addendum/Erratum corrects some typos present in the monograph.
Linearized Active Circuits: Transfer Functions and Stability
We develop a theoretical framework for local stability analysis of active microwave circuits around an equilibrium. We first characterize linearized (partial) transfer functions of ideal circuits around such an equilibrium, and show they can be unstable even though there are no unstable poles. Next, we consider linearized transfer functions of real...
Electromagnetic Solutions for the Agricultural Problems
Electromagnetic waves have been suggested for use in a vast range of applications in agriculture and food processing society. Although there is sill a long way for them to be used commercially, the idea can help us to consider this method as an alternative solution for different problems. Heating effect of the waves, especially if used as different...
Physical Behavior in Older Persons during Daily Life: Insights from Instrumented Shoes.
Published in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Activity level and gait parameters during daily life are important indicators for clinicians because they can provide critical insights into modifications of mobility and function over time. Wearable activity monitoring has been gaining momentum in daily life health assessment. Consequently, this study seeks to validate an algorithm for the classif...
Chlorogenic Acid Potentiates the Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Curcumin in LPS-Stimulated THP-1 Cells.
Published in Nutrients
The anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin are well documented. However, the bioavailability of curcumin is a major barrier to its biological efficacy. Low-dose combination of complimentary bioactives appears to be an attractive strategy for limiting barriers to efficacy of bioactive compounds. In this study, the anti-inflammatory potential of curcu...
High-throughput parallel DWT hardware architecture implemented on an FPGA-based platform
To detect fast myoclonus jerks, doctors require a full-HD video capture of the patient at 100 frames per second. Real-time video compression becomes mandatory to archive/transmit the generated data. To achieve this goal, we used a certified medical imaging coder based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Thus, a major challenge was to design a 2D D...
Energy optimisation of an OOK transmitter using high-order orthogonal modulation
In this paper, we show that high-order orthogonal modulation can be used to optimize the power consumption of an energy efficient On-Off Keying (OOK) transmitter for short range wireless sensor applications. Our work is based on the characteristics of a high performance OOK modulator that completely turns off during the transmission of zeros and pr...
From theory to practice: horizontal attacks on protected implementations of modular exponentiations
Published in Journal of Cryptographic Engineering
Nowadays, horizontal or single-shot side-channel attacks against protected implementations of RSA and similar algorithms constitute a theoretic threat against secure devices. Nevertheless, in practice their application remains very difficult not only because of their complexity, but also because of environmental countermeasures integrated by design...
Optimization of Non Binary Parity Check Coefficients
This paper generalizes the method proposed by Pouillat et al. for the determination of the optimal Galois Field coefficients of a Non-Binary LDPC parity check constraint based on the binary image of the code. Optimal, or almost-optimal, parity check coefficients are given for check degree varying from 4 to 20 and Galois Field varying from GF(64) up...
LiteX: an open-source SoC builder and library based on Migen Python DSL
LiteX is a GitHub-hosted SoC builder / IP library and utilities that can be used to create SoCs and full FPGA designs. Besides being open-source and BSD licensed, its originality lies in the fact that its IP components are entirely described using Migen Python internal DSL, which simplifies its design in depth. LiteX already supports various softco...
