IEEE ICECS 2015 will include a M.Sc./Ph.D. Forum. The M.Sc./Ph.D. Forum provides an opportunity for masters and Ph.D. students in the fields of electronics, circuits, and embedded systems to present their dissertation research, including work in progress, to an internationally renowned audience of researchers and developers. The topics of interest are the same as those of the main IEEE ICECS 2015...
IEEE ICECS 2015 will include a demonstration session (Innovate Event: Inno-vent Egypt) that shall provide a forum to present and discuss prototypes, industry demonstrations of new applications and techniques, practical implementations, research testbeds and demonstrations, recent research/implementation results, and student senior year projects. Demonstrations of innovative ideas in all aspects of...
Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
In this paper, a new method for static analysis of the power-down mode of analog circuits is presented. Floating nodes are detected. The static node voltages are estimated. It can be verified that no current is flowing. The method is based on circuit structure. No numerical simulation is needed. The presented approach solves an integer constraint program. Experimental results show a speed-up of factor...
Provides an abstract for each of the keynote presentations and a brief professional biography of each presenter. The complete presentations were not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
Lab-on-a-Chip technology promises many advantages compared to existing medical diagnostic tools including better and improved performance, portability, reliability and cost reduction. The Lab-on-a-Chip technology changed the traditional way by which biological samples are inspected in laboratories during analyses. A Lab-on-a-Chip is composed of four main parts; actuation, sensing, electronics and...
This paper presents the design of a high-voltage driver with an adapted level shifter for switching converters. The proposed HV-driver and level shifter are based on stacked standard CMOS, therefore the design is technology independent. The circuit is designed in 65-nm TSMC technology with a nominal voltage of 2.5 V and optimized for arbitrary supply voltages from 2.6 V to 6.0 V. This range is extended...
This paper introduces the design procedure for the low pass filter based on Chebyschev polynomials of fractional power of any order. The filter order is considered in intervals of width two. Only the first two intervals are considered along with their pole locus produced by varying the filter order and the magnitude response. A general formula for constructing the filter from its s-plane poles is...
The current paper introduces a real-time architecture for the computation of the Generalized Partial Directed Coherence (GPDC) of multiple signals. The motivating application is the localization and control of epileptic seizures where hitherto published results shown the effectiveness of exploiting Generalized Partial Directed Coherence to quantify and analyse connectivity and interaction of brain...
In this paper, a new approach for human recognition using heart sounds is proposed. The new approach is based mainly on extracting features from heart sounds using wavelet packet decomposition. Different linear and non-linear filter banks at different decomposition levels are designed using wavelet packet decomposition to select the appropriate bases for extracting discriminant features. Automatic...
This paper presents a methodology for monitoring the heart activity by capturing two ECG leads and sending the captured data to a monitoring unit using ZigBee technology and comparing the results with wired ECG. The received leads are stored and processed to get another four leads.
In this paper a novel high-voltage switch with gate-source overvoltage protection is presented for use in high voltage bidirectional neural interfaces. The proposed switch can tolerate the voltage difference up to 120V between its terminals. The control circuit guarantees the operation of HV transistors in the Safe Operation Area (SOA) by use of the proposed switched voltage follower. The switch can...
Lung cancer is one of the most serious diseases in the world with the smallest survival rate after diagnosis, and with a progressive increase in the number of deaths each year. Survival from lung cancer is directly related to its growth at its detection time. The early detection and treatment of lung cancer can greatly improve the survival rate of patients. We attempt to develop a computer aided diagnosis...
Hand detection and localization is one of the challenging problems in image processing. It is the major first step in many computer vision applications like hand gesture recognition system that often requires as input the location of the hands. It is followed by two other stages; tracking and recognition. The accuracy of the later two stages strongly depends on the quality of the first one. There...
Many recent techniques for forgery detection tried to counter noise dithering, which is considered to be the most successful technique for removing footprints of JPEG editing in countering forensics. In this paper we propose a novel idea of detecting any noise dithering that is typically adopted in removing footprints in counter anti forensics of images. This technique is based on detecting phase...
