Memristor based circuits is a promising topic in circuit theory due to the time variant resistance and the storage property which is useful in different applications. Due to the lack of memristor samples, the emulators are very useful to be used instead of memristor samples. Moreover the previous emulators are implemented using commercial off the shelf components. In this paper, a new simple MOS realization to emulate current controlled memristor behavior is proposed. The proposed MOS emulator is implemented using TSMC 0.13μm technology with dual supply ±1.5V which can be easily integrated with any other integrated circuits. The proposed emulator can be tuned for any desired working frequency either low or high frequencies. The mathematical model of the proposed emulator is derived. Furthermore, the functionality of the proposed emulator is tested in memristor-based Voltage controlled relaxation oscillator.

With the evolution of wireless systems, cooperative communications are promoted as promising candidate for future radio access technologies. However, due to the different processing and propagation delays among distributed relays, cooperative networks can be asynchronous. A possible solution is to apply a distributed synchronization which unfortunately increases the amount of needed power and time for the communication. Therefore, space time codes that can tolerate the delays are used here in cooperative networks in order to reduce this additional signaling for several multiple access technologies. The performance enhancement of the proposed scheme compared to another existing code is shown by numerical simulations.

In this paper, a new accurate and low delay leakage current (IL) model for complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverter is presented. During the overshooting period, the input-to-output coupling capacitance (CM) influence has been modeled regarding the short channel effect (SCE). Polynomial approximation is used to simplify and accelerate the model with very good accuracy. The time conditions for overshooting region (tov) are also derived regarding leakage current and coupling capacitance influence. Performance evaluation of the proposed model is compared with simulated results of the BSIM4 level 54 model using HSPICE with very good agreement.

In this paper, the design of a heat recovery system is presented and analyzed. It allows recovering the heat waste from Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems to obtain hot water. A code is developed for this purpose, which allows simulating the heat transfer in the system. The outlet temperature is studied in terms of the water flow rate and the amount of ton refrigerant in the system. It is shown that the water can be heated up to 347 K with a HVAC system of 9 tons of refrigerant (108 000 Btu/hr).

This paper presents devices for harvesting energy from regular blood pressure variation in heart cavities. Specific challenges of this concept are analyzed. First, a very flexible and hermetic packaging solution is proposed. Then, piezoelectric and electrostatic transducers are conceived and optimized for the pacemaker application. According to our simulations and experiments, the proposed devices should provide the targeted electrical energy of 10 μJ per heartbeat in real environment.

Global illumination algorithms based on stochastically techniques provide photo-realistic images. However, they are prone to noise that can be reduced by increasing the number of paths as proved by Monte Carlo theory. The problem of finding the number of paths that are required in order to ensure that human observers cannot perceive any stochastic noise is still open. This paper proposes a no-reference quality assessment model based on noise quality indexes and support vector machine (SVM) in order to predict which image highlights perceptual noise. This model can then be used in stochastic global illumination algorithms in order to find the visual convergence threshold of different parts of any image. A comparative study of this model with human psycho-visual scores demonstrates the good consistency between these scores and the learning model quality measures.

The ease of sharing information happening today increases the number of data transmissions over the Internet, which started by a simple text transmission, and evolved to more complex formats, such as image, audio and video. This data can then be easily accessed by attackers, hence the need for security. In this paper, we propose a modification to the Enhanced 1D Chaotic Key Based Encryption (ECKBA) with cat map that will be applied on video transmission (sequence of images), by changing the confusion and diffusion blocks, in order to ensure a higher level of security. Moreover, to guarantee the security for real-time applications transmitted over an unreliable network, we include a method that combines the new scheme with the Network Coding principle.

This paper presents a self-organized reliability technique to efficiently handle error localization in a Wireless Networked MPSoC. The wireless multi-node system consists of several nodes integrating MPSoC based Network-on-Chip (NoC) and communicating through ZigBee communication. We focus on the error detection and localization in NoCs located in each node of the wireless multi-node system. We propose a new offline test mechanism to efficiently detect and locate permanent errors in the networked NoCs. The proposed mechanism relies on delocalized tests performed through ZigBee wireless communication. We give the basic concepts of the proposed approach and timing estimations.

Ambipolar and/or Independent Double Gate-FET (Am/IDG-FET) technology offers the possibility to optimize the architecture of reconfigurable cells at transistor level. Many of such reconfigurable cells have been proposed offering different partial functionality set, and previous work shows the benefit of such designs in terms of electric performance. This paper analyzes the benefits and drawbacks of Reconfigurable Cells based on Am/IDG-FETs versus commonly used 2, 4, and 6-inputs LUTs considering the number of transistor and the number of input. Results show the drastic optimization (Reduction of 30% to 50% of the transistor count) but at the cost of a reduce set of function at the cell level. As main FPGA manufacturer proved that a 6-inputs LUTs is the best solutions in terms of input granularity, 6-inputs Am/IDG-FET based Reconfigurable cells represent a considerable optimized solution.

The paper presents the architecture of an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) close-to-collinear interaction, in order to improved performances in terms of crosstalk and selectivity: the FWHM (Full width at half maximum) is decreased and the side lobe level is reduced. This filter architecture is based on a double-pass of the optical wave in the crystal and takes advantage of the anisotropic interaction.
