Continuously increasing application demands on both High Performance Computing (HPC) and Embedded Systems (ES) are driving the IC manufacturing industry on an everlasting scaling of devices in silicon. Nevertheless, integration and miniaturization of transistors comes with an important and non-negligible trade-off: time-zero and time-dependent performance variability. Increasing guard-bands to battle...
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to allow everyday objects to connect to the Internet and seamlessly interact with users and other machines. Essential for the IoT to function is a reliable Internet connection. In 2016 the International Telecommunication Union reports 3.9 billion people - 53% of the world's population are not using the Internet [1]. Projects like Loon (X) and Aquila (Facebook)...
This paper presents an approach for detecting and tackling obstacles that could fail the execution of social business processes. Existing approaches target regular (non-social) business processes and thus, rely mainly on business logs that contain details such as who executes what, when, and where. However, interactions between a business process's three components namely task, machine, and person,...
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is considered as a systematic, learning retention vehicle in semiconductor manufacturing. This paper tries to set up a quantized evaluation approach on FMEA effectiveness for the first time and also presents a systematic maintenance method of FMEA in Foundry (FAB) to instead of traditional paper works which realizes intelligent maintenance to increase the...
Many common DTN routing protocols are replication-based, which have relatively good performance in terms of message delivery ratio but high overhead, and leave the issue of garbage collection open. In this paper, we propose Named Data Distance Routing (NDDR), a named data based DTN routing approach which makes routing decisions for named data based on topological distance information. This helps to...
With the growing interest in adoption of wireless technologies in industrial automation and the continuous search for new revenue streams new players are entering the arena in order to make their business grow further. One of the emerging wireless technologies aiming to support industrial automation applications is 5G, targeting anything from extreme throughput (> 10 Gbit/s) to extreme low latency...
HALT, Highly Accelerated Life Test, is a process used to discover product weakness and design margins. Used on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) or product modules, it consists of a series of environmental stresses applied to the product in increasing levels of stress, until the product malfunctions or fails. HALT typically utilizes stresses well beyond the product specifications in order to...
Mobile Ad hoc Network has a wide range of applications in military and civilian domains. It is generally assumed that the nodes are trustworthy and cooperative in routing protocols of MANETs viz. AODV, DSR etc. This assumption makes wireless ad hoc network more prone to interception and manipulation which further open possibilities of various types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. In order to mitigate...
The advance of technology in wireless sensor networks is increased nowadays. In this network, minimizing the battery consumption is most enormous challenge. For reliable data transmission, effective routing is required. In this work, an efficient node infirmity tracking scheme with stable supportive route for reliable data transmission is proposed. Problem Statement: Sensor nodes sense the data and...
3D printing is used to fabricate molds for micro-structuring the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film. The fabricated sensor device using the micro-structured PDMS film presents high sensitivity, excellent durability and fast response, and is also shown to perform reliable real-time wrist pulse monitoring.
In this paper, we investigate how to improve the reliability of heart–rate monitoring of a large number of people playing sports over a limited area of sports field. Densely– located nodes attached to exercisers transmit heart–rate data to a data collection node simultaneously, which negatively affects the reliability of data collection due to severe congestions caused by excessive traffic load. In...

As energy shortage is a worldwide problem so that more attention has...
one of the common techniques of rotary machinery fault diagnosis is the signal based fault diagnosis, in which the signal processing is one of its integral part. Signal processing converts the raw data into useful features to make the diagnostic operations. These features should be independent from the normal working conditions of the machine and the external noise. They should be sensitive only to...
The HolderCPS system presented in this paper falls into the category of recording systems created for the proactive maintenance of rotary bladed machines. Based on an innovative architecture, the Holder-type system contributes to machine equipment diagnosis and to early warnings on potential flaws in the functioning of the machine. The system is able to determine, in real time, the causes of the warnings...
The paper presents application and comparison of two methods based on the blind source separation problem: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) as well as combining these methods. Both methods might be applied in the task of eliminating artefacts from the electroencefalography (EEG) signal. Such artefacts might cover eye-blinks, muscle artefacts etc. The case...
Sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are battery-powered devices that consume energy during data transmission and processing. One of the most critical tasks in a sensor network is to deal with optimizing the power consumption. One possible way to minimize this problem is caching the data. Data caching is a promising technique for improving the performance of transport protocols in terms...
In the area of biomedical engineering, digital-microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) have received considerable attention, because of their capability of providing an efficient and reliable platform for conducting point-of-care clinical diagnostics. System reliability, in turn, mandates error-recoverability while implementing biochemical assays on-chip for medical applications. Unfortunately, the technology...
Safe and reliable communication technologies are the key to transmission line monitoring system. Currently, most of system use public network to communicate, condition monitoring data are difficult to transmit to the master station when signal is weak or no. To solve this problem, this paper proposes converged communication mode, that is public network and optical fiber converged. Based on the optical...
