-Micro Electro Mechanical Systems will soon usher in a new technological renaissance. Just as ICs brought the pocket calculator, PC, and video games, MEMS will provide a new set of products and markets. Learn about the state of the art, from inertial sensors to microfluidic devices[1]. Over the last few years, considerable effort has gone into the study of the failure mechanisms and reliability...

This paper design a method for fault detection and isolation based on observers for systems modelled as Descriptor-Linear Parameter Varying (D-LPV) with Unmeasurable Scheduling Functions (USF). The first contribution of the paper is deal with the USF problem by transforming the into an uncertain D-LPV system with an estimated scheduling parameter. As a second contribution, a robust LPV observer...

Recently, data mining and machine learning techniques have been increasingly applied in process engineering. Various successful applications include fault detection and development of data driven models. While fault detection is useful for steady operation of the plant, data driven models can be employed for robust prediction of structure activity relationships. Many of these models require non...

Asynchronous micropipelined designs are self-checking against permanent stuck-at faults making the circuits highly resistant against invasive fault attacks. A single transient fault, however, can result in a data token insertion or deletion which can cause a continuous stream of erroneous outputs that can be exploited by a malicious attacker. We propose a system level error detection method tar...
