A simple low energy new lossless compression/decompression approach is suggested for main memory data for exact storage of critical applications that need precise outputs. The proposed design lowers energy consumption by up to 66% when compared to previous designs. This is due to its simplicity and low latency. Furthermore, the frequency of operation is increased from 300MHz to 800MHz. The new design also allows the main memory to store up to 30% more data according to PARSEC and PERFECT benchmarks applications data.

In order to minimize electromagnetic interferences in Electroencephalogram - EEG, we are developing an integrated circuit containing the amplifier, filter and AD converter to be placed directly over the electrodes, thus obtaining active electrodes. The active electrodes are connected to a hub that sends the data to the external equipment. Since the amplification and filtering should be programmable according to the patient and environment, the communication between the active electrodes and the external equipment (via hub) must be bidirectional. This paper describes the hub and its communication to the active electrodes using the I2C Protocol. The project was developed using the Verilog and tested on boards that emulated the hub and the active electrodes. The tests demonstrated the circuits work as expected.

In this paper we propose a configurable CMOS capacitive fingerprint that has two configuration modes for charge detection in each cell pixel. The readout circuit can be configured to operate with/without analog-to-digital converter (ADC). One of the configuration modes utilize in-cell pixel comparator which provides an instant decision of the finger features (Ridge = 1 or Valley = 0). While, the other one uses a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) to provide the detected signal to an ADC. The simulation results show the difference between the output of both configurations.

This paper introduces a new encryption/decryption scheme based on a dynamic substitution box concept. Values of the proposed S-Box are different for each sample depending on the behavior of a memristor-based chaotic system. MATLAB simulations and FPGA implementation for the circuit are presented with throughput 4.266 Gbit/s. Also, FPGA realization for encryption/decryption scheme is proposed. Entropy, MSE, correlation coefficient tests are applied on two different input files to examine the efficiency of this cryptosystem.

Since the number of cores incorporated on the same multicore chip increases, the main important challenge for System-on-Chip (SoC) systems is the interconnection between their components. Thus, to deal with the problem of communication that became the bottleneck of conventional NoC, wireless Networks on Chip (WiNoCs) have recently been proposed for Multiprocessor systems on chip (MP-SoCs) interconnection. This paper proposed a mesh based Hybrid architecture Network-on-Chip (NoC), which wired dual support and wireless communications. The whole architecture has been implemented and integrated over Noxim platform. A performance evaluation of this model has been illustrated to analyze the dynamic behavior of the Network.

In the context of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), Single Board Computers (SBCs) could provide adaptivity for various present and future applications, and permit scalability through clusters of SBCs while possibly save energy consumption. In this paper, we explore energy efficiency of a Zynq Ultrascale+ based board developed in the context of the AXIOM project. While an entire framework based on the Zynq Ultrascale+ is still in progress, the board is already available and capable of running a full Linux OS and it is possible to measure energy consumption. We demonstrate a possible architecture based on DataFlow-Threads (DF-Threads), a novel execution model, on the Zynq Ultrascale+ platform, in order to assess the energy efficiency of DF-Threads. We measured the power consumption, while the RAW and RDMA message types were transceived through board-to-board interconnects.

In this work, a Fractional-Order edge detector is designed and implemented. A floating point convolution unit is also presented exploiting hardware parallelism. The proposed design is suitable for both integer and fractional-order filters by exploiting the IEEE 754 floating point single precision representation. It also fits for different image resolutions. The design supports several tuning parameters for a greater degree of freedom in design, fractional-order parameter α, the filters used and the threshold. The system is implemented on VIRTEX 5 development board used. The maximum frequency achieved for 3×3 filter is 169.6 MHz.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) operate in increasingly complex and demanding application scenarios, while requiring also high adaptivity levels to satisfy several requirements that usually change over time. Multi-grain reconfigurable hardware architectures are an appealing solution to provide high, heterogeneous flexibility, thus reaching the advanced runtime adaptivity support necessary for CPS. This work presents a demonstration of an automated framework for the development and runtime management of multi-grain reconfigurable hardware systems. The framework supports different reconfiguration mechanisms, each with different overheads and depth in terms of system behavior modification.

Active suspension system poses the ability to reduce the traditional design as a compromise between handling and comfort by directly controlling the suspensions force actuators. This paper presents a linear model and control of a quarter-car active suspension system with unknown mass and road disturbance. The controller is designed to derive a control law and that achieves stability of the system and convergence that can considerably improve ride comfort and road disturbance handling. PD, Fuzzy PD, and Adaptive PD in order to use in active vibration control simulations. The designed controllers efficiency are examined using Matlab simulation. Finally, the designed controllers suitability are studied by comparing their performances in case of using different road profile functions.

This paper explores steps towards induced stress enhancement of a new improved design of a 6-axis single-mass piezoelectric motion sensor. The detailed numerical analysis was based on a previously developed and validated finite element model for the new design. The experimental data, reported in literature for a design with a similar geometry, has been used in the validation. Using the same dimensions' range, we detail the new improved design geometry. The analysis of the induced stress in response to x, y and z-accelerations shows that the new design offers better performances. In response to x-axis and z-axis accelerations, evaluated induced stress values are 2 and 2.5 orders of magnitude higher than those measured on the reported design, respectively.
