The rapid growing interest in the field of plasmonics comes from advance nanotechnologies involving nanophotonics applications. The surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) exited by light on metallic nano grooves arrays (NGA) and nanowires (NWs), play a role of an intermediary between photonics and electronics. We report on the experimental demonstration of polarization controlled SPP propagation, leading to tailored directional coupling in a periodic plasmonic NGAs and NWs. The SPP emission and propagation, in Au NGAs and Au NWs is modulated by the incident light polarization. Our results establish a basis for the developments of innovative optical devices, which are useful in telecommunications and other nanophotonic devices.

Animal communication and specifically acoustic communication is in the focus of ecological and biological research. With the advancement of monitoring technology, a vast amount of acoustic recordings of birds is continuously accumulated. As manual segmentation and annotation of this data is impractical, development of efficient algorithms for accurate detection, classification and segmentation of birdsong is therefore a prerequisite for further analysis. In this study we present an algorithm for automatic segmentation and parameters estimation of one type of bird vocalization, namely, the trill song. The algorithm is based on computing the short-time variance of the fundamental frequency derivative of bird acoustic signal for initial detection of syllables. The boundaries of each syllable are consequently obtained using a Gaussian smoothed short-time energy function and an adaptive threshold based on the energy envelope. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated using a comparison to human expert segmentation, as well as to ground-truth values of synthetic trills produced by the Harmonic + Noise model. A correct detection rate of more than 95% was yielded for SNR levels of -5 dB or higher for signals with additive colored noise, and for signals with additive white Gaussian noise more than 92% was obtained for SNR>-5dB. In addition, a high correlation between the automatic segmentation and that of a human expert was exemplified.

Deep Neural Networks (DNN), contain multiple convolutional and several fully connected layers, require considerable hardware resources to train in a reasonable time. Multiple CPUs, GPUs or FPGAs are usually combined to reduce the training time of a DNN. However, many individuals or small organizations do not possess the resources to obtain multiple hardware units.The contribution of this work is two-fold. First, we present an implementation of a distributed DNN training system that uses multiple small (wimpy) nodes to accelerate the training process. The nodes are mobile smartphone devices, with variable hardware specifications. All DNN training tasks are performed on the small nodes, coordinated by a centralized server. Second, we propose a novel method to mitigate issues arising from the variability in hardware resources. We demonstrate that the method allows training a DNN to high accuracy on known image recognition datasets with multiple small different nodes. The proposed method factors in the contribution from each node according to its run time on a specific training task, relative to the other nodes. In addition, we discuss practical challenges that arise from small node system and suggest several solutions.

With the significant increase of wireless standards in recent years, reconfigurable programmable architectures have started to attract more attention and interest. One of the solutions that has gained more industry-popularity is the Application Specific Instruction-Set (ASIP) Processor, which provides an innovative approach for obtaining flexibility with relatively small increases in area and power. In this article we will present the development of an optimized ASIP that is tailored to the needs of detecting packets based on the 802.11 standard, and uses a retargetable compilation flow. We will present several optimizations that can be used to optimize both the algorithm and the processor model. These enhancements increase the performance by a factor of 20 and decrease significantly the power consumption relative to a 16bit general purpose processor model. While the proposed configurable ASIP was applied to multiple packet detection standards based on OFDM or DSSS modulations such as 802.11a/g/n and 802.11b/1997 respectively, it was verified on an ODFM 802.11a/g/n system. Most of our analysis focuses on OFDM systems, however, it also applies to DSSS systems. In addition, we present a comparison between the proposed ASIP and a dedicated hardware solution over ASIC in terms of performance power and area.

we present a model of a one-dimensional chain of two-level artificial atoms driven simultaneously with a dc field and a quantum light in the strong coupling regime. It is shown that the entanglement of the electron and photon (dressing of the atoms with light) dramatically changes the scenario of the Bloch oscillations (BO) compared with standard solution of the Bloch-Zener model. We considered the mutual influence of dressing and BO and show that the quantum properties of light become controllable via an adiabatic dc field tuning. The obtained results open new ways in quantum state engineering, nano-photonic spectroscopy and nano-antennas.

The paper is focused on methods of the perfect signal recovery based on the frame theory, and the approximate fast reconstruction with truncated Fourier series for inputs encoded by Sample-and-Hold Asynchronous Sigma Delta Modulation (SH-ASDM). The comparative analysis shows that the signal recovery for the SH-ASDM is characterized by significantly lower computational complexity than for the classical ASDM.

A source generates a random sequence that is then described to a controller who wishes to employ feedback control on a given finite-state system in order for its output to closely resemble the sequence. The tension between the best achievable expected fidelity and the description length is studied in the asymptotic regime where the length of the sequence tends to infinity, with the description rate held fixed. The solution is the source-coding dual of coding for channels with states.

Same day last-mile parcels delivery services are recently gaining a great deal of attention in the transportation science community. In the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, smart mobility companies provide delivery services for small parcels using scooter fleets. Scooter couriers deliver the parcels from the local post offices to the final customers. Since a scooter has a limited capacity and is paid with respect to the total travelling distance, the problem can be formulated as a Capacitated Open Vehicle Routing Problem (COVRP). The proposed approach is based on the high sparseness of the Clarke-Wright (CW) saving matrix for COVRP in case of parcels delivery from post offices. In this case the CW algorithm can be separated to construction of all feasible Hamiltonian paths at the first phase and its optimal combination by solving maximal weight clique problem (MWCP) at the second phase. Computational results show that the proposed algorithm is competitive, improves known benchmark results on some instances and saves 40–80% of delivery cost in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

Electrification of Israel railroads is a successful project being realized during present time. Among the well-known advantages of electric train exploitation are high energetic efficiency, regenerative breaking, diminished pollution, flexibility of traffic control and improved transportation dynamics. However, the use of electric train is accompanied with some specific hurdles caused by significantly stochastic power flows. While in transit between stations an electric train has different phases of movement, during some consuming energy, but from time to time throughout braking processes they become generators transmitting energy back into the electric grid. This circumstance may produce voltage instability in distribution lines, which should be kept inside permissible limits to allow normal operation of electric equipment. Tap-changers on distribution transformers considered for a voltage regulation have sluggish response of ~7-8 sec. Therefore, fast changes of power stream can cause significant voltage deviations. If the voltage overcome explicit allowable level a trigger of a protection system is engendered disconnecting vehicles from a grid. The last causes extremely dangerous detriments and should be maximally prevented.Rapid and considerable changes in train power consumption, in addition may cause network frequency instability which in turn can violate electricity supply.Present article provides an original examination of the future stability of network frequency and distribution voltage which may be assumed when 420 km of Israel railroads will be electrified in the following 5–10 years. For such study special algorithm based on simulation approach was developed and applied. Predicting scenarios for frequency and distribution lines voltage control are represented below in the following text.

A memristor is a nano-scale two-terminal stochastic electronic device. This paper proposes functional analogies between biochemical reactions and memristive devices. It shows that memristors can mimic biochemical reactions and gene networks efficiently and capture both deterministic and stochastic dynamics at the nano-scale level. We present different abstraction models and voltage-controlled resistive switching circuits that inherently model the activity of genetic circuits with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These findings constitute a milestone for cell-inspired circuit design with noise-tolerance and energy-efficiency features, which can provide a fast and simple emulative framework for studying arbitrary large-scale biological networks in systems and synthetic biology.
