In the recent decades, applications of chaotic systems have flourished in various fields. Hence, there is an increasing demand on generalized, modified and novel chaotic systems. In this paper, we combine the general equation of jerk-based chaotic systems with simple scaled discrete chaotic maps. Numerical simulations of the properties of two systems, each with four control parameters, are presented. The parameters show interesting behaviors and dependencies among them. In addition, they exhibit controlling capabilities of the ranges of system responses, hence the size of the attractor diagram. Moreover, these behaviors and dependencies are analogous to those of the corresponding discrete chaotic maps.

The new trends in multimedia and especially in video applications demand the best possible quality, among with low bandwidth and memory usage. While video compression has been used for many decades, now is of even greater significance, particularly in the 4K and 8K UHD standards. In addition, the most time consuming and computationally expensive part of video compression, is the calculation of the objects' movement between successive frames, a procedure known as Motion Estimation. Our purpose in this paper was to create an embedded system which implements a Motion Estimation unit that is being controlled and fed by an ARM CPU. For that reason we used the Xilinx Zynq platform, which provides great flexibility and can be used to effectively evaluate an embedded system prototype. Our experimental results illustrate that it is perfectly feasible to implement fast and reliable accelerators, especially for multimedia applications, in a platform such as Xilinx Zynq.

A methodology is presented for compact modeling synthesis of integrated transformers. The synthesis procedure is based on a specific constrained optimization procedure to evaluate the elements of the compact model. The proposed methodology is independent of technology parameters or the geometrical characteristics of the inductor.

A 1.8V CMOS chopper four-quadrant analog multiplier, intending to serve as an autonomous IC block for low-frequency signal processing, is presented. Particular emphasis is laid upon achieving low output noise by means of chopper stabilization, while the multiplier's operation is based on the MOS Translinear Principle. The proposed design has been implemented and simulated in TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS process.

Free space optical (FSO) communication systems or point-to-point optical wireless communication links via light, have recently emerged as a very promising and commercially viable laser technology that comes up to the growing demands for larger available bandwidth, huge data rates and higher security level transmissions in a both energy-efficient and cost-effective manner. However, their performance is adversely affected by atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors and phase noise effects when Subcarrier Intensity Modulation (SIM) based on M-PSK modulation formats are employed. In this work, the error performance of a FSO link using SIM based on M-PSK scheme is investigated over weak turbulence conditions along with the presence of pointing errors. The turbulence-induced fluctuations are emulated through the mathematically simple and compact Gamma distribution model that is very accurate for weak turbulence conditions, while the effect of phase noise is modeled by the suitable Tikhonov distribution. Under these assumptions, novel approximate closed-form expressions for the average SEP are derived which are accurate enough over a wide SNR range. Finally, proper numerical results are presented and validated by Monte Carlo simulations.

A method of hardware reduction is proposed for logic circuits of Moore FSMs implemented with CPLDs. The method is based on the idea of code sharing. The main difference from already known methods is that the counter increases its content during conditional and unconditional transitions. An example of application of proposed method is given.

This paper proposes a methodology for recognition of vocal music (Byzantine music) via multi-modal signals processing. A sequence of multi-modal signals is captured from the expert's (teacher) and student's hymns performances, respectively. The machine learning system is trained using the values of particular features which are extracted from the captured multi-modal signals. After the system is being trained then it becomes able to recognize any hymn performance from the corpus. Training and recognition takes place in real time by utilizing machine learning techniques. The evaluation of the system was carried out with the cross - validation statistical method Jackknife, giving promising results.

In this paper, we make a preliminary coverage study for base stations (BS) in millimeter wave bands based on recently proposed propagation models. More specifically, we compute the cell radius and the coverage area of a future fifth generation (5G) cellular network based on the Close-In (CI) and the Alpha-Beta-Gamma (ABG) radio propagation models. Also, the required base station density is calculated corresponding to urban, suburban and rural regions.

A three dimensional printer using step motors from 3.5-inch disk drives was built for our undergraduate research thesis project. An Arduino microcontroller was in charge of controlling the steppers through the DC drivers and a 3D pen was used as the printing unit. The program was created with the Arduino suite and the design of the drawing with the open source Grbl using g code. For the axes, three disk drives were reassembled to form the X, Y and Z levels. Moreover, this structure can be operated as a Computerized Numerical Control machine by replacing the 3D pen with other components, such as a drill. The 3D printer will be used for educational purposes, as a teaching tool in laboratory projects. It provides an opportunity for students to learn more about robotic machines and create one from scratch.
