In this paper we discuss an adaptive method for the computation of discontinuous solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws. In each time level we use techniques coming from interpolatory multiresolution analyses for detecting discontinuities of the solution. The adaptive scheme uses first order upwind flux computation in the immediate neighbourhood of these irregularities. Since the differential equation holds in the smoothness domain, we follow the characteristics in the time marching procedure at grid points in that domain.

Integrated CMOS and BiCMOS timing detectors have been designed for the receiver of a portable laser radar. The timing detectors produce accurately timed logic level pulses from noisy analog pulses, whose amplitude varies in a wide range. The distance measurement result of the designed BiCMOS (CMOS) detector varies +/-4 mm (+/-9 mm) with an input amplitude range of 55 mV-3.3 V (0.5 V-2.2 V). The single shot resolution with SNR=250 is better than 6 mm (10.5 mm).

Power supply current monitoring is a promising technique for the development of new test methodologies for analogue and mixed-signal circuits, following the success attained in the digital domain. This paper shows that improved test efficiency and confidence is obtained when both functional output voltage and power supply current signals are observed. Results obtained from simulation of a number of circuits are presented comparing Fault Coverage, Normalised Deviation, and the Coefficient of Variation of faulty responses deviation amplitudes. Also, different test stimuli are compared to evaluate their suitability for testing.

A vast amount of signal processing will soon be required in close proximity to high-energy physics detectors. The challenge is to transfer conventional electronics to VLSI technologies. This paper discusses the present trends in nuclear electronics and presents integrated realisations of two processing systems commonly used in high-energy physics experiments: a discriminator and a charge-to-time converter. The chips, fabricated in 1.2 /spl mu/m BiCMOS technology, feature high speed of operation and high-quality processing performance combined with reduced silicon area and power consumption.

Summary form only given, as follows. This paper investigates the convergence properties of the constrained frequency-domain block LMS (CFBLMS) algorithm and the unconstrained frequency-domain block LMS (UFBLMS) algorithm when applied to truncated Volterra systems. As shown by previous work, the range of stability for the UFBLMS algorithm for linear systems is 1/2 of that with the CFBLMS algorithm. This work verifies that this relationship between the UFBLMS algorithm and the CFBLMS algorithm is valid for truncated Volterra systems as well. This paper further shows through simulation results that the performance of the UFBLMS algorithm is comparable to the CFBLMS algorithm if the step size is adaptive.

A serial sensing method for multistorage non-volatile memories, based on a dichotomic algorithm, is presented. While incorporating the main advantage of the serial approach (the use of a single sense amplifier), this method reduces sensing time to a minimum and ensures its independence from memory cell contents. Moreover, high throughput is ensured in serial-output memories.

This paper presents a computationally efficient method for calculating the optimal feedback gain applicable to large scale systems. The plant is represented by using descriptor systems and the gain is calculated directly through the numerical integration of the Chandrasekhar equations. This allows the application of modern sparsity techniques, thus reducing the computational burden. Tests in two dynamic systems are conducted in order to assess the performance of the proposed method as compared with other techniques based on the conventional solution of the algebraic Riccati equation.

This paper presents and evaluates two point-to-multipoint GB(N) protocols. They accomplish continuously repeated retransmission to overcome noisy channel error condition and provide buffer at receivers, aiming at improving their throughput efficiencies. The first scheme is a point-to-multipoint version of the single destination Morris's GB(N). The other one results from slight modifications in the retransmission procedure. After the continuously repeated retransmission, the transmitter sends m (m/spl ges/1) copies of messages sent in advance and received in error. Numerical results show that the proposed modification significantly improves the throughput efficiency. Moreover, the proposed protocols outperforms many other multidestination GB(N) schemes.
