We present the first wait-free and self-stabilizing implementation of a single-writer/single-reader regular register by single-writer/single-reader safe registers. The construction is in two steps: one implements a regular register using 1-regular registers, and the other implements a 1-regular register using saferegisters. In both steps, if the initial register is bounded then the implementati...

In this paper, scan and ring schemes of the pseudo-ring memory self-testing are investigated. Both schemes are based on emulation of the linear or nonlinear feedback shift register by memory itself. Peculiarities of the pseudo-ring schemes implementation for multi-port and embedded memories, and for register file are described. It is shown that only small additional logic is required and allows...

This paper investigates a new approach for the automated human identification using 2D ear imaging. We present a completely automated approach for the robust segmentation of curved region of interest using morphological operators and Fourier descriptors. We also investigate new feature extraction approach for ear identification using localized orientation information and also examine local gray...

An arrays of O's and l's has the u v horizontal window property if every nonzero view is seen once when a u v window is moved horizontally across the array. We study the problem of constructing an array which, for a given m, has the u x v horizontal window property for all factorizations rn uv. Using maximal linear shift register sequences for the rows we are able to construct such arrays of si...
