In response to reliability challenges of new systems being built, we are proposing a scalable Self-Test architecture for many-core processor systems. This BIST architecture periodically distributes test stimuli among identical processing cores in a many-core processor system, suspends normal operation of individual processing cores, applies test, detects faulty cores, and removes them from the system...
This paper presents an autonomic algorithm for constructing minimum spanning trees in a distributed system. Processes are virtually organized on a hypercube-like topology, called VCube. The spanning trees are dynamically created from any source process and regenerated transparently when processes become faulty. Any tree reconstruction is autonomously done based on the virtual topology and on fault...
Enablers are factors that individually and collectively, influence something will work properly for example, governance and management in an over enterprise information technology (IT). Each enablers can be identified how it provides the effect on governance in a vocational higher education. The method of data analysis used to determine the effect of each enablers in vocational higher education governance...
Provides an abstract of the presentation and a brief professional biography of the presenter. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
This paper proposes fast initial position estimation of IPMSMs (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors), which is based on intentional pulse voltage injection and comb filters. Most initial position estimation methods utilize the amplitude or differential values of high-frequency currents and the performance of sensorless control depends on the algorithm to reconstruct these values. Although...
The wide band gap nature of SiC semiconductor makes high voltage power device possible to operate at high temperature. The high temperature operation of power device is expected to realize simplification of cooling system and miniaturizing the system size with smaller heat sink and/or less liquid cooling system. However, conventional plastic packaging for Si power device is designed to operate lower...
With rapid development of internet, more and more consumers choose to shop from different channels, such as offline channel and online channel. Some consumers prefer shopping through offline channel because they want to experience the products' quality in person, while other consumers would like to shop online because they care more about the efficiency of shopping. There are several factors that...
Numeracy in healthcare domain is a measure of the ability of patients to understand and digest numerically presented information so as to make appropriate health decisions and understand the underlying risk factors. The existing methods of numeracy testing do not take confidence as a parameter in consideration for adaptive assessment. Numeracy assessment without confidence is prone to guess work....
This paper presents a Fuzzy-Mon te Carlo Simulation (FMCS) approach for reliability evaluation after a discussion about the fuzzy arithmetic and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) in systems' modeling. The FMCS method is applied to protective devices and its advantages are expanded.
As the CMOS technology approaches the fundamental scaling limits and the functional integration of multiple components (e.g., NEMS, biosensors, ferroelectric/polymer capacitors, etc.) onto the CMOS fabric suggests remarkable potential for More-than-Moore technologies, the landscape of reliability considerations are evolving rapidly for the semiconductor industry. In this tutorial talk, I will discuss...
Microelectronics wirebonding is used in the vast majority of semiconductor assembly and packaging operations worldwide. In the last few years, much of the manufacturing that traditionally had been gold (Au) wirebond has switched to using copper (Cu) wire. Once a wirebond “recipe” is established in manufacturing, reliability is checked by Bond Pull Strength test (Mil-Std 883G method 2011) and Bond...
Learning and academic achievement are attributable to the complex cognitive phenomenon of self-regulation. There was a need to study self-regulation, a popular research area in education, on engineering students learning Statics. However, there was no specific instrument to measure self-regulation in fundamental engineering courses like Statics. Therefore, a modified self-regulated learning (SRL)...
Mobile communication has enjoyed a tremendous rise in popularity during the last decade. The network reliability is an important concern in wireless ad-hoc networks. Therefore, it is felt essential to evaluate the reliability of the Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). Many existing wireless ad hoc network routing protocols assume the availability of reliable nodes. This, however, is not a realistic as...
The development of high speed electronic devices tends to relevant changes in the designing of the converters for power applications mainly on the speed, size, reliability and efficiency. This paper proposes the hardware implementation of two level DC-DC boost converter. The proposed system has 12V – 48V boost converter with lamp loads by using dSPACE 1104 controller. Conventional DC-DC converters...
This paper presents Hybrid pulse width modulation (HPWM) strategies for single phase H-bridge inverters. The proposed hybrid modulation method is an amalgamation of square wave modulation and pulse width modulation (PWM). The main perspective of this modulation is the reduction of switching losses in addition to inheriting the characteristics of classical PWM strategies and balanced power loss dissipation...
This demonstration will present the world's first macroscale molecular communication link to reliably transmit a continuous data stream. The system modulates alcohol molecules, which are then diffused via ambient and induced air currents to carry information to a receiver. The communication distance is several meters and the propagation channel we will demonstrate consists of both free space and tunnel...
This study examines the behavioral and neural mechanisms by which somatosensory training affects the human motor system. We have developed a technique, which combines psychophysical and neuroimaging procedures to examine plasticity in the resting-brain following perceptual learning in a somatosensory-discrimination task. We show that effects of perceptual learning are not local to sensory areas of...
In this paper, A method giving consideration to both acquiring interrelated clear underwater-image and realizing fully automatic stitching for that is proposed. The rapidity and precision of stitching for multi-image, especially the underwater-image is influenced by the low resolution and fuzzy target etc. In allusion to influencing factors, a new and reliable approach effective in above two problems...
