A new interleaved synchronous mirror delay (SMD) is proposed in order to reduce the circuit size. The conventional interleaved SMD has multiple pairs of forward delay array (FDA) and backward delay array (BDA) in order to reduce the clock skew. The proposed interleaved SMD requires one FDA and one BDA by changing the position of MUX. Simulation results show that about 30% power reduction and 40...

Practice of tasks in an interleaved order generally induces superior learning compared with practicing in a repetitive order, a phenomenon known as the contextual-interference (CI) effect. Increased neural activity during interleaved over repetitive practice has been associated with the beneficial effects of CI. Here, we used psychophysiological interaction (PPI) analysis to investigate whether...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this investigation was to determine if adult bilateral cochlear implant recipients could benefit from using a speech processing strategy in which the input spectrum was interleaved among electrodes across the two implants. DESIGN Two separate experiments were conducted. In both experiments, subjects were tested using a control speech processing strategy and a strateg...

The known sampling methods can roughly be grouped into regular and irregular sampling. While regular sampling can be realized efficiently in graphics hardware, it is prone to inter-pixel aliasing. On the other hand these artifacts can easily be masked by noise using irregular sampling which, however, is more expensive to evaluate as it lacks the high coherence of a regular approach. We bridge t...

The pro and anti-saccade task (PAT) is a widely used tool in the study of overt and covert attention with promising potential role in neurocognitive and psychiatric assessment. However, specific PAT protocols can vary significantly between labs, potentially resulting in large variations in findings across studies. In light of recent calls towards a standardization of PAT the current study's obj...

Three experiments explore differences between blocked and interleaved study with and without item repetition. In the first experiment we find that when items are repeated during study, blocked study results in higher test performance than interleaved study. In the second experiment we find that when there is no item repetition, interleaved and blocked study result in equivalent performance duri...

The present work applies interleaved MDD partition representation to the bisimulation problem. In the course of considering fully-implicit lumping (see section 2.6) for Markov systems, we have implemented fully-implicit partitioning, using interleaved MDDs for bisimulation partitioning, in the context of the SmArTverification tool. We compare the execution time and memory consumption of our ful...

We consider error-correction over the Non-Binary Symmetric Channel (NBSC) which is a natural probabilistic extension of the Binary Symmetric Channel (BSC). We propose a new decoding algorithm for interleaved Reed-Solomon Codes that attempts to correct all “interleaved” codewords simultaneously. In particular, interleaved encoding gives rise to multi-dimensional curves and more specifically to a...

This paper presents an interleaved boost converter with coupled inductors for photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion. The proposed soft-switching boost converter uses an interleaved method to increase its power density and coupled-inductor technology to extend its step-up voltage ratio. To reduce switching losses of active switches, the proposed interleaved boost converter incorporates a synchrono...
