Compressed video bitstream is sensitive to channel errors that may severely degrade the reconstructed pictures. Error concealment techniques implemented at decoders are effective approaches to reduce the impact of errors. They mask the effect of missing blocks by using the spatial or/and temporal correlation to create image or video of subjectively acceptable quality.

In current literature various equivalent circuit models and reduction techniques have been demonstrated to study the behavior and performance of carbon nano tubes (CNTs). However, most of these methods are very complex and predominantly use SPICE/HSPICE simulations resulting in high computational time. This paper presents a compact modeling approach for CNT interconnects. Results both in the time domain and frequency domain are provided using a Fourier series approach for the analysis of CNT interconnects. The results obtained are compared against other conventional methods. The percentage error in delay for both single walled CNT (SWCNT) and multi-walled CNT (MWCNT) interconnects is found to be less than 5% and the percentage error in overshoot estimation for both types of CNTs is also under 8%.

In recent times, we have seen that shift-and-add operations have replaced multiplication for efficient hardware implementation to achieve reduction in hardware and power. Previously, researchers have proposed methods combining architectural transformations and shift-and-add decompositions for hardware optimizations. In this paper, a highly efficient common subexpression elimination (CSE) algorithm based on the binary representation of the system matrices to optimize the hardware requirements in linear Digital Signal Processing (DSP) synthesis is proposed. The algorithm chooses the maximum number of frequently occurring subexpressions to eliminate redundant computations and hence reduces the number of adders required to implement the multiplications in the state space model. Design examples of systems show that the proposed method offers a hardware reduction of around 22% over the previously best known method [11].

We applied a BIST soft repair scheme to embedded memories using redundant data columns. We obtained yield and defect data from commercial silicon parts, and explored possible yield improvements with only a single bit repair. We implemented it on a chip with 90 memories and process margins were changed to obtain split lots to validate the repair scheme.

The key problem in a parallel system is how to distribute the work load to the components of the system in order to get optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, and minimize response time. The sliding-window (SW) switch is a highly parallel architecture that uses an array of memory-modules to store and process data packets in high speed-networks and Internets. In this paper, we study two key aspects in the design of a high-speed router/switch using the SW switch architecture. The effect of the memory-configuration and the memory-bandwidth in the performance of the SW switch architecture is investigated under bursty-traffic conditions.

high resolution image combination and processing plays an important role in today's satellites' remote sensing applications. This paper presents an image recombination and processing circuitries (ICAI) for one-dimensional multi-strip CMOS image sensors. The proposed system take advantage of the satellites' linear moving property to control the expose time of CMOS image sensor and provides the realtime ability to continuous generate 12,000 × N high-resolution image for space remote sensing applications. The ICAI chip contains an image sensor control logics, image combiner, and host interface, one-dimensional pixel is combined to form a two-dimensional image by proposed circuitry. A prototype chip of ICAI was designed and fabricated with TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS 1P6M technology. The die size is 2.91 mm by 2.91 mm, and the power consumption is 20 mW operating at 8MHz under a 1.8 V supply voltage.

This paper presents the design of a supply and process-insensitive 12-bit Digital Pulse Width Modulator (DPWM) for digital DC-DC converters. The DPWM is realized by a counter and a ring oscillator-multiplexer segmented tapped delay line. The ring oscillator of the tapped delay line is made insensitive to supply and process variation by biasing the differential delay cells with a supply-insensitive replica bias circuit. Simulation results show that the variation of the switching frequency of the DPWM at 1.03MHz is 0.4% for supply voltage variation between 1.5V and 2.5V and 0.95% over the temperature range from −40°C to 90°C. Monte-Carlo simulation was also performed to account for the effect of mismatch between the transistors of the ring oscillator. The worst case delay of the delay cells is 0.87% for ±5% (3-σ) mismatch.

When we talk about steganographic algorithms, it is imperative to study the quality of the image hosting and image retrieval, and is also necessary to consider the robustness of the algorithm. This paper presents the experimental results obtained by applying a steganographic algorithm to RGB images. The measures used are qualitative and quantitative related to the multichannel of Human Vision System. When this algorithm is employed we see that the numerical calculations performed by the computer cause errors and alterations in the images chosen, so we applied a scaling factor depending on the number of bits of the image to adjust these errors.

In this paper we present an implementation of a digital adaptive filter on the digital signal processor TMS320C6713, using a variant of the LMS algorithm, which consists in error codification, thus the speed of convergence is increased and the complexity of design for its implementation in digital adaptive filters is reduced, because the resulting codified error is composed of integer values. The LMS Algorithm with codified error (ECLMS), was tested in an environmental noise canceller and the results demonstrate an increase in the convergence speed, and a reduction of processing time.
