The idea behind this work is to extract from a large number of FIR filter syntheses several curves that estimate the area and power consumption. The aim is to help filter designer to make the right choice regarding decimation factor versus area and power consumption. The performed experiences show that for a given filter order, the choice of the decimation factor has a deep impact on the area and...
ARTIST4G is an integrated project addressing objective 1.1 of the seventh framework program of the European commission: the network of the future. A credible framework is proposed in order to tackle the problem of true ubiquity in the network through proper management of the interference. The three pillars of the project being interference avoidance (at the transmitter), interference exploitation...
Direct continuous (DC), pulsed (PEF) or alternative (AC) electric fields are well-known to induce specific effects on living cells or on molecules (including DNA and proteins) and are commonly used in molecular or cellular biology, and more recently for clinical treatment. Pharmacological industries and medical research are interesting in the development of new tools permitting to understand biophysical...
For the first time we demonstrate the CMOS integration of undoped fully-depleted Ultra Thin Body and BOX devices (UTB2) with (110)/(100) substrate crystal orientation for pFET and nFET respectively. For this, we used an original 3D-folded Bulk+/Silicon-On-Nothing (SON) process on DSB substrate. Resulting multi-surface orientations devices are studied.
This article presents the first experiments conducted on the interaction model of the EmotiRob project. It presents the experimental protocol, the evaluation grid and the results, and a short description of the robot's architecture.
A new rehabilitation and fitness robot called the ??Lambda Robot?? is presented. This paper introduces a concept of a parallel robot that may be used for mobilization of the lower extremities. Hence, it may be used for fitness as well as for rehabilitation for people out of coma, after a surgical operation or for paraplegics. The kinematics and the construction aspects of the twice three degrees of...
In this paper, we present FD-SOI with High-K and Single Metal gate as a possible candidate for LP multimedia technology. Dual gate oxide co-integrated devices with EOT 17 ??/Vdd 1.1 V and 29 ??/Vdd 1.8 V are reported. The interest of Ultra-Thin Buried Oxide substrates (UTBOX) is reported in term of Multiple Vt achievement and matching improvement. Delay improvement up to 15% is reported on Ring Oscillators...
Upgradeability and interoperability are main concerns of Software Defined Radio (SDR). But in the case of military applications, security is also a relevant aspect of SDR. The Secure Software Communication Architecture (SSCA) is a standardized solution to secure SDR. This architecture needs a cryptographic processor for security purposes. However, currently available SSCA compliant ASIC-based cryptoprocessors...
This article presents the next experiments we will conduct on the interaction model of EmotiRob project. It describes the first experimentation we had done, the experimental protocol and the evaluation grid.
Numerous data mining methods have been designed to help extract relevant and significant information from large datasets. Computing concept lattices allows clustering data according to their common features and making all relationships between them explicit. However, the size of such lattices increases exponentially with the volume of data and its number of dimensions. This paper proposes to use spatial...
High-level synthesis (HLS) currently seems to be an interesting process to reduce the design time substantially. HLS tools actually map algorithms to architectures. While such tools were developed targeting ASIC technologies, HLS currently draws wide interest for FPGA designers. However with most of HLS techniques, traditional resource sharing models are very inaccurate for FPGAs: for example, multiplexers...
There are many methods which have been developed for improvement of time in mining frequent itemsets. However, the methods which deal with the time of mining association rules were not put in deep research. In reality, in case of database which contains many frequent itemsets (from ten thousands up to millions), the time of mining association rules is much larger than that needed for mining frequent...
The number of frequent closed itemsets (FCIs) are usually fewer than numbers of frequent itemsets. However, it is necessary to find minimal generators (mGs) for mining association rule from them. The finding mGs approaches based on generating candidate lose timeliness when the number of frequent closed itemsets are large. In this paper, we present MG-CHARM, an efficient algorithm for finding all mGs...
As the main component of cellular membranes, lipid bilayers were widely investigated. A prerequisite approach may consist in studying an artificial bi-layer, which is able to mimic some aspects of a natural membrane through its constituents. Methods were proposed to produce these artificial membranes using different biochip technologies.
The thermal ionization of the surface of thick metal, in response to a pulsed multi-megagauss magnetic field, is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Time-resolved imaging, pyrometry, spectroscopy, and laser shadowgraphy are used for characterization. Radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations are also used, which include the Eulerian MHRDR code and the Lagrangian RAVEN UP codes. An analytic...
This work presents a low-power multistandard decimation and channel selection filter architecture. The filter is suitable after an over-sampling sigma-delta converter and performs decimation in two stages. The first stage is a modified structure of the cascade of integrators-combs (CIC) filter and allows reducing sampling rate downto only the double of the Nyquist frequency. The second stage composed...
Today NAND flash memory is used for data and code storage in digital cameras, USB devices, cell phones, camcorders, and solid-state disk drives. To satisfy the market demand for lower cost per bit and higher density nonvolatile memory, in addition to technology scaling, 2 b/cell MLC technology was introduced. Recently MLC NAND flash memories with more than 2 b/cell have been reported. To meet market...
We report the first imaging of a dye-doped artificial bilayer using electro-optical microscopy. The applied voltage dependence confirms the origin of the effect. This result is an important step towards a contactless optical patch-clamp.
Microfluidic is now a common tool for developing chemical or biological applications. One of the main particularities of microfluidic is the difficulty to mix several products due to the Reynolds number which becomes very low at the microscale. For this reason, several research groups report active or passive micromixers integrated in analysis devices. In this paper we take advantage of miniaturisation...
MEMS, electromagnetic field is a way to manipulate droplets, beads or cells without direct contact. In particular, dielectrophoresis is often used in bioMEMS applications, for cell handling operations such as moving, sorting, trapping or deforming cells. In this paper, a 3D focusing geometry for the electrical field is proposed, that permit the trapping of single cell, or cells pair, thanks to positive...
