This paper presents an efficient solution for external memory bandwidth reduction focusing in the state-of-art video coding standards, like H.264/AVC and HEVC. The proposed approach is based in reference frame compression using a differential coding and a hardware-efficiently adaptation of the traditional Huffman algorithm, besides, it is a lossless solution and fully complied to state-of-art video coding standards. This solution is entitled DRFVLC (Differential Reference Frame Variable-Length Coder) and it applies an inter-block differential coding to concentrate the values near to zero, and also, it uses one static Huffman table to avoid the cost of the on-the-fly Huffman statistical analysis. The use of DRFVLC reached an average compression rate higher than 46% for the evaluated video sequences, with computational cost of a single differential coding and a VLC, which means the solution is not a bottleneck of the video coding system.
本文提出了一种针对H.264/AVC和HEVC等最新视频编码标准降低外部存储带宽的有效解决方案。该方法基于参考帧压缩,采用差分编码和传统霍夫曼算法的硬件高效改编,并且是一种无损解决方案,完全符合最新的视频编码标准。该解决方案被称为DRFVLC(差分参考帧变长编码器),它应用块间差分编码来集中接近零的值,而且,它使用一个静态霍夫曼表来避免动态霍夫曼统计分析的成本。使用DRFVLC对评估的视频序列达到了高于46%的平均压缩率,计算成本为单个差分编码和VLC,这意味着该解决方案不是视频编码系统的瓶颈。

Embedded and Computer-based systems are subject to transient errors originated from several sources, including the impact of high energy particles on sensitive areas of integrated circuits. The evaluation of the sensitivity of the applications to transient faults is a major issue. The paper presents a new approach for testing the effects of transient faults on the Operating System kernel, specifically focusing on kernel mutex data structure, a key component of the kernel. A Software-implemented Fault Injection tool able to inject faults guaranteeing the non-intrusiveness and repeatability of the fault injection campaign is proposed. An analysis of the results has been performed on a large set of mutexes, in order to evaluate their criticality, in particular during input/output operations. Experimental results, executed on a set of benchmarks programs, show the relevance of the effects of the transient faults on this set of variables. Moreover, a significant percentage of faults can lead to a damage of the system also producing an application failure.
嵌入式和基于计算机的系统受到来自几个来源的瞬态误差的影响,包括高能粒子对集成电路敏感区域的影响。应用程序对暂态故障的敏感性评估是一个主要问题。本文提出了一种测试暂态故障对操作系统内核影响的新方法,重点研究了内核的关键组成部分——内核互斥锁数据结构。提出了一种软件实现的故障注入工具,能够注入故障,保证故障注入活动的非侵入性和可重复性。对大量互斥体的结果进行了分析,以评估它们的临界性,特别是在输入/输出操作期间。在一组基准程序上执行的实验结果显示了瞬态故障对这组变量的影响的相关性。此外,很大比例的故障会导致系统损坏,也会产生应用程序故障。

Felipe Navarro, S. Cancino, Enrique Estupinan
This paper presents the development of an application to estimate depth using mobile devices that could help visually impaired people to navigate in everyday sites. The mobile device incorporates a stereo camera system and the application takes advantage of the operating system capabilities, such as parallel computation, hardware configuration, in conjunction with the image processing libraries to implement well known and fast performing algorithms for depth estimation. Each camera is calibrated separately and afterwards a stereo calibration is performed. Depth estimation is calculated using two different algorithms and an evaluation of their performance is presented. The mobile devices handle the computational load fast enough to be able to produce the results within the walk time at normal pace. Depth estimation error is low enough to allow object detection like obstacles, room walls or moving persons.

Design of adaptive voltage amplifiers with an input-DC-level-dependent gain 具有输入-直流电平相关增益的自适应电压放大器设计

The DC component of a signal acquired from the environment often represents the information of the background that is useful in the processing of the component of small signal variations. In this paper, we propose a design method for adaptive voltage amplifiers, of which the gain for the voltage signal varies according to the DC component of the input. The basic circuit units used in the design are 3-transistor common-source amplifiers as such a circuit can be made to operate at a given bias point while the signal amplification gain is modulated by a varying DC component of the input. By using such simple units, one can implement sophisticated nonlinear characteristics of adaptive amplifiers while making the amplification linear at a given input DC level. A design example and the simulation results are also presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design method.
从环境中获取的信号的直流分量通常代表了背景信息,这些信息在处理小信号变化分量时很有用。本文提出了一种自适应电压放大器的设计方法,该方法使电压信号的增益随输入直流分量的变化而变化。设计中使用的基本电路单元是3晶体管共源放大器,因为这样的电路可以在给定的偏置点工作,而信号放大增益由输入的不同直流分量调制。通过使用这种简单的单元,可以实现复杂的非线性特性的自适应放大器,同时使放大在给定的输入直流电平线性。最后给出了设计实例和仿真结果,验证了该设计方法的有效性。

M. Kousoulis, G. Antoniou
This paper proposes generalized circuit and state space realizations for four-dimensional (4D) Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters. Specifically, lattice and direct-form filter structures are considered. The 4D circuit realizations utilize, for their implementation, a minimum number of delay elements. Further, the dimensions of the state-space vector, of the formulated 4D state space models, are minimal. Examples are given to demonstrate the minimality of their circuit and state-space realizations.

This paper presents a novel method for protecting privacy sensitive regions inside a digital frame. The purpose is achieved by deteriorating the visual quality of privacy sensitive region by adding probability model based random noise to nonzero quantized transform coefficients of the region. The probabilistic model based noise is generated based on the information from neighboring macroblocks and added only to selective non zero AC transform coefficients to have minimal impact on bit rate. Moreover, the parameters of the probability model are derived from the neighboring blocks inside the frame such that the noise follows characteristics of the frame content. For the purpose of implementation, we used H.264/AVC video coding standard for videos and JPEG image compression standard for images. The probabilistic model based noise is generated using a secret key, which can be shared with the authorized decoder such that the obfuscated region can be completely recovered. In order to limit drifting of obfuscation effect outside the targeted regions, Inter and Intra prediction blocks inside H.264/AVC encoder were modified. Overall, we achieve good obfuscation of selected regions with minimal impact on coding efficiency with the capability to achieve complete reconstruction at the authorized decoder.
提出了一种保护数字帧内隐私敏感区域的新方法。该方法通过在隐私敏感区域的非零量化变换系数中加入基于概率模型的随机噪声来降低隐私敏感区域的视觉质量。基于概率模型的噪声是根据邻近宏块的信息产生的,并且只添加到选择性的非零交流变换系数中,以使对比特率的影响最小。此外,概率模型的参数从帧内的相邻块导出,使得噪声遵循帧内容的特征。为了实现目的,我们对视频采用H.264/AVC视频编码标准,对图像采用JPEG图像压缩标准。使用密钥生成基于概率模型的噪声,该密钥可与授权解码器共享,从而可以完全恢复混淆区域。为了限制混淆效应在目标区域外漂移,对H.264/AVC编码器内部的Inter和Intra预测块进行了修改。总体而言,我们在对编码效率影响最小的情况下实现了对选定区域的良好混淆,并能够在授权解码器上实现完全重建。

A method of forming hidden cavities in bonded silicon wafers using dry etch Bisbenzocyclobutene (BCB) is presented. The cavities are formed by vacuum bonding of partially-cured patterned BCB over a Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafer and over a bare silicon wafer in a low temperature process. The vacuum bonding process parameters are determined through an iterative process that involves SEM inspection of the BCB layer at the bonding surface to ensure a void and wrinkle free strong bond. The cavities can be as small as 28 μm wide with a support margin of only 10 μm and a height of 800 nm. Cavities of other dimensions can also be realized following the same procedure. The cavities can be used to realize MEMS microphones, capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUT), resonant cavities, and also for protective encapsulation of MEMS and microelectronic dies.

As complexity of VLSI circuits grows, routability has been one of the key factors considered by tree construction algorithms in global routing. Flexibility is a geometric structural property of rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (RSMT), and it is expected to accord with routability and therefore predict the overflow situation. Reference [9] proposed a new definition of flexibility of RSMT, combining RSMT's original flexibility and genetic flexibility, and proved the efficiency of predicting routability utilizing experimental results. However, the flexibility is defined according to the RSMT structure, failing to consider different circumstances of congestion distribution. In order to fix this flaw, we propose the new concept of Congestion-Oriented Flexibility. Further, we propose an effective algorithm to enhance the generalized flexibility. Finally, an RSMT Construction Algorithm based on Congestion-Oriented Flexibility is proposed, which is demonstrated to create a routing result with 12.1% less congestion than FLUTE [1] and congestion-driven Steiner trees [2].
随着超大规模集成电路复杂度的不断提高,路由可达性已成为树形结构算法在全局路由中考虑的关键因素之一。柔性是线性斯坦纳最小树(RSMT)的一种几何结构性质,期望它符合可达性,从而预测溢出情况。文献[9]提出了RSMT灵活性的新定义,将RSMT原有的灵活性和遗传的灵活性结合起来,并利用实验结果证明了可达性预测的有效性。但是,灵活性是根据RSMT结构来定义的,没有考虑到拥塞分布的不同情况。为了弥补这一缺陷,我们提出了面向拥塞的灵活性的新概念。在此基础上,提出了一种有效的算法来提高系统的广义灵活性。最后,提出了一种基于面向拥塞灵活性的RSMT构造算法,该算法创建的路由结果比FLUTE[1]和拥塞驱动的Steiner树[2]的拥塞减少12.1%。

The system described in this work utilizes a unique Electrically Small Antenna (ESA) that measures 7mm × 10mm to receive a 915MHz signal used to power the system. A four-stage Schottky rectifier circuit is used to rectify the received signal and provide dc power via a regulator to a Colpitts oscillator. The Colpitts oscillator senses pressure and provides an output signal that is proportional to the pressure. The system is fabricated using a mature, inexpensive 0.5μm CMOS fabrication process and is capable of operating over a range of 5.4cm.
为了扩展当前眼压(IOP)传感系统的范围,开发了一种基于射频识别(RFID)的眼压传感系统。在这项工作中描述的系统利用一个独特的电子小天线(ESA),尺寸为7mm × 10mm,以接收用于为系统供电的915MHz信号。四级肖特基整流电路用于整流接收信号,并通过稳压器向科尔皮茨振荡器提供直流电源。科尔皮茨振荡器感知压力并提供与压力成正比的输出信号。该系统采用成熟、廉价的0.5μm CMOS制造工艺,能够在5.4cm的范围内工作。
