Automatically Extracting Grounding Tags From BF Tags

This paper describes how to automatically extract grounding features and segment a dialogue into discourse units, once the dialogue has been annotated with the DRI backwardand forward-looking tags. Such an approach eliminates the need for separate annotation of grounding, making dialogue annotation quicker and removing a possible source of error. A preliminary test of the mapping against a huma...

Initial SRAM State as a Fingerprint and Source of True Random Numbers for RFID Tags

RFID applications create a need for low-cost security and privacy in potentially hostile environments. Our measurements show that initialization of SRAM produces a physical fingerprint. We propose a system of Fingerprint Extraction and Random Numbers in SRAM (FERNS) that harvests static identity and randomness from existing volatile CMOS storage. The identity results from manufacture-time physi...

Glowing tags

Tagging physical objects to get a link from the physical world into some kind of technology has been done for a long time. The most commonly known is probably the barcodes that is used in five billion scans every day. During a project at Xerox Research Centre Europe in Cambridge, we came across the concept of Glow Tags. It is partly an expansion of the more traditional tags by, from a user pers...

Frequency of diabetes mellitus in patients with skin tags

Background and aim: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease with multiple complications. Skin tag is a pedunculated papule, which is more common in women and has been suggested as a cutaneous marker of diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of diabetes mellitus in patients with skin tags.Materials and methods: This descriptive study was...
