A SpV-resolution RFID ECoG data reader bas been designed and implemented in 65nm CMOS TSMC technology. The area occupancy is 1.8mm×l.9mm. In this paper, the design and measurement results are shown. The circuit average power consumption is less than 36μW for the analog part while the peak power of the digital one is 19mW (including the output buffers and protections) with supply of 1.2V, providing power transmission 300MHz by a class Ε PA. The data coming from 1MHz from the tag modulates the AC power and the envelope detector allow the acquisition. The asynchronous demodulation achieves a BER less than 10−6. The novelty of the solution and the experimental measurements propose the architecture as a pioneer for the ECoG reading out architecture.

This paper presents an NPN-based temperature sensor intended for the temperature compensation of the metal shunt resistor of an integrated current sensing system. The sensor was implemented in a 0.18 HV BCD CMOS technology and occupies 0.16mm2 After a one-point trim, its inaccuracy is less than ±0.4°C over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to 85°C). It also achieves 14.8niK resolution in a 7ms conversion time while consuming 12μm. This results in a resolution FOM of 18.4pJ·K2 the lowest ever reported for an NPN-based sensor.

With aggressive scaling of silicon technology, integrated circuits (ICs) yield has emerged as a prominent concern. Yield loss comes from timing problems induced by process variations introduced by inaccuracy in nano-scale CMOS fabrication. To address this concern, we have developed a system to assist in optimizing yield and power. The system consists of timing violation sensors, clock duty-cycle controllers, and dynamic voltage scaling techniques to avoid timing violations and to reduce the supply voltage as much as possible. By using failure probability maps, we evaluate the yield and performance enhancement of an example microprocessor system.

Human-centric computing — The case for a Hyper-Dimensional approach 以人为中心的计算——超维度方法的案例

Some of most compelling application domains of the IoT and Swarm concepts relate to how humans interact with the world around it and the cyberworld beyond. While the proliferation of communication and data processing devices has profoundly altered our interaction patterns, little has been changed in the way we process inputs (sensory) and outputs (actuation). The combination of IoT (Swarms) and wearable devices offers the potential for changing all of this, opening the door for true human augmentation. The epitome of this would be a direct interface to the human brain. Yet, making sense of the plethora of information received from the often noisy sensors and making reliable decisions within very tight latency bounds (< 10 ms) typically demands huge computational workloads to be performed in wearable form factors at extreme energy efficiency. In this presentation, we will make the case why alternative non-Von Neumann computational paradigms and architectures may be the right choice for these cognitive processing tasks. Even more, we will focus on a computational model called Hyper-Dimensional Computing (HDC), and illustrate with concrete examples of why this approach may be the right one in a post-Moore data-driven arena.
物联网和蜂群概念的一些最引人注目的应用领域涉及人类如何与周围的世界以及网络世界进行交互。虽然通信和数据处理设备的激增深刻地改变了我们的互动模式,但我们处理输入(感觉)和输出(驱动)的方式几乎没有改变。物联网(swarm)和可穿戴设备的结合提供了改变这一切的潜力,为真正的人类增强打开了大门。它的一个缩影就是直接连接到人类大脑。然而,要理解从通常嘈杂的传感器接收到的大量信息,并在非常严格的延迟范围(< 10毫秒)内做出可靠的决策,通常需要在可穿戴设备中以极高的能效执行巨大的计算工作负载。在本次演讲中,我们将说明为什么替代的非冯·诺伊曼计算范式和架构可能是这些认知处理任务的正确选择。更重要的是,我们将关注一种称为超维计算(HDC)的计算模型,并用具体的例子来说明为什么这种方法在后摩尔数据驱动的领域可能是正确的。

Wearable smart sensing is a promising technology to enhance user experience that has already been exploited in sport/fitness, as well as health and human monitoring. Wearable sensing systems not only provide continuous data monitoring and acquisition, but are also expected to process, and make sense of the acquired data by classification in similar ways as human experts do. Supporting continuous operation on ultra-small batteries poses unique challenges in energy efficiency. In this paper, we present an ultra-low-power bracelet with several sensors that is able to run multi-layer neural networks learning algorithms to process data efficiently. The design combines low-power design, energy efficient algorithms and makes this bracelet suitable for long-term uninterrupted usage with small coin batteries. We demonstrate in-field measurement results that prove that neural networks applications can fit within the mW power and memory envelope of a commercial ARM Cortex M4F microcontroller. We show that a fully connected network of 26 neurons achieve an accuracy of 100% on emotion detection, using only 2% of memory available. Field trials demonstrate that the wearable device can achieve a 2-month lifetime while performing one emotion detection classification every 10 minutes.

Target following on nano-scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicles 用纳米级无人机跟踪目标

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with high level autonomous navigation capabilities are a hot topic both in industry and academia due to their numerous applications. However, autonomous navigation algorithms are demanding from the computational standpoint, and it is very challenging to run them on-board of nano-scale UAVs (i.e., few centimeters of diameter) because of the limited capabilities of their MCU-based controllers. This work focuses on the object tracking capability, (i.e., target following capability) on such nano-UAVs. We present a lightweight hardware-software solution, bringing autonomous navigation on a commercial platform using only on-board computational resources. Furthermore, we evaluate a parallel ultra-low-power (PULP) platform that enables the execution of even more sophisticated algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate the benefits of our solution, achieving accurate target following using an ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller consuming ≈ 130mW. Our evaluation on a PULP architecture shows the proposed solution running up-to 60 frame-per second in a power envelope of ≈ 30mW leaving more than 70% of the computational resources free for further on-board processing of more complex algorithms.
具有高水平自主导航能力的无人机因其广泛的应用而成为业界和学术界的热门话题。然而,从计算的角度来看,自主导航算法要求很高,而且由于基于mcu的控制器的能力有限,在纳米级无人机(即直径几厘米)上运行它们非常具有挑战性。本文主要研究纳米无人机的目标跟踪能力(即目标跟踪能力)。我们提出了一种轻量级的硬件软件解决方案,仅使用车载计算资源在商业平台上实现自主导航。此外,我们评估了一个并行超低功耗(PULP)平台,该平台可以执行更复杂的算法。实验结果证明了我们的解决方案的优势,使用功耗≈130mW的ARM Cortex M4微控制器实现了精确的目标跟踪。我们对PULP架构的评估表明,所提出的解决方案在约30mW的功率包络下运行高达每秒60帧,使70%以上的计算资源可以用于进一步处理更复杂的算法。

Covering our world with sensors 用传感器覆盖我们的世界
Pub Date : 2017-06-01 DOI: 10.1109/IWASI.2017.7974219

Information technology has had profound impacts on our lives. The problem is that, so far, technology has required our explicit attention to provide services. This limits the scenarios in which it can or we would like it to take action. On the other hand, perceptive systems aim to understand our activities and intentions to proactively, collaboratively, and adaptively provide services. This requires systems to form projections of the world, but also construct models for how to respond. This talk starts by looking at how deploying large numbers of form-fitting sensors, which are explicitly associated with the physical objects we interact with (including each other), can provide contextually-relevant and structured data for enabling the construction of such models. Then, a possible platform technology for creating such sensors is examined, namely Large-Area Electronics (LAE). The challenges of realizing full systems from this are explored. In particular, perceptive systems present demanding functional requirements, but, through emerging algorithms from statistical signal processing and machine learning, also open up new opportunities for addressing technological limitations. Several LAE systems for human monitoring are presented, demonstrating the potentials.
信息技术对我们的生活产生了深远的影响。问题是,到目前为止,技术需要我们明确的关注来提供服务。这限制了它可以或我们希望它采取行动的场景。另一方面,感知系统旨在了解我们的活动和意图,以主动、协作和自适应地提供服务。这需要系统形成对世界的预测,但也需要构建如何应对的模型。这个演讲首先看看如何部署大量的合身传感器,这些传感器明确地与我们互动的物理对象相关联(包括彼此),可以为构建这样的模型提供上下文相关和结构化的数据。然后,研究了创建此类传感器的可能平台技术,即大面积电子(LAE)。在此基础上探索实现完整系统的挑战。特别是,感知系统提出了苛刻的功能要求,但是,通过统计信号处理和机器学习的新兴算法,也为解决技术限制开辟了新的机会。介绍了几种用于人体监测的LAE系统,展示了其潜力。

The problem is that, so far, technology has required our explicit attention to provide services. This limits the scenarios in which it can or we would like it to take action. On the other hand, perceptive systems aim to understand our activities and intentions to proactively, collaboratively, and adaptively provide services. This requires systems to form projections of the world, but also construct models for how to respond.
