Cryptography of resource constrained devices represents a very active area of cryptographic research. Custom instructions have been widely used to achieve the conflicting demands between performance and flexibility. This paper proposes a neural cryptography implementation for secure voice communication using custom instructions to achieve real-time performance on very low resource devices. The ...

Mitigating power quality issues in distribution systems is of utmost importance to both electricity consumers and suppliers as it improves the system’s efficiency, reduces costs, maintains continuous supply, diminishes requirement for frequent maintenance. Custom devices were introduced eliminate like voltage sags, swells, transients, imbalances, current harmonics arising systems. Unified condi...

ded devices. This research has been mainly performed in the JVM. More specifically, it has focused on optimizing the execution time spent in the automatic object reclamation or Garbage Collector (GC) subsystem, which is one of the main sources of overall performance degradation of the system. However, the increasing need for power efficient systems limits very significantly the use of Java for ...

This paper describes the ongoing development of a radiation-tolerant version of ITT Industries’ Low-Power Transceiver (LPT). The LPT is a compact, flexible device that can be configured to perform custom communications and navigation functions in terrestrial, airborne, and space applications. The radiation-tolerant version of the LPT will maintain most of the LPT’s existing functionality and re...

Zinc oxide (ZnO, n-type) and copper oxide (CuO, p-type) nanowires have been synthesized and preliminarily investigated as innovative materials for the fabrication of a proof-of-concept thermoelectric device. The Seebeck coefficients, electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power factors (TPF) of both semiconductor materials have been determined independently using a custom experimental set-u...

This paper describes a method for collecting real-time energy consumption statistics for a custom wearable system. We describe an implementation of hardware and software which provides detailed trace data for every major subsystem of a wearable computer, including the microprocessor, memory, and I/O. This design is entirely selfcontained, requires no external instrumentation, and imposes low co...

Gallium–nitride power transistor (GaN HEMT) and integrated circuit technologies have matured dramatically over the last few years, and many hundreds of thousands of devices have been manufactured and elded in applications ranging from pulsed radars and counter-IED jammers to CATV modules and fourth-generation infrastructure base-stations. GaN HEMT devices, exhibiting high power densities coupl...
