The growing concern about wide area power system disturbances and their impact on power systems have reinforced interest in the new generation of system protection tools. Their application depends on their reliability, which, in turn, depends on the reliability of the hardware infrastructure on which they rely. In this paper, we propose a modification of a Voltage Instability predictor (VIP) [1...

Estimations of RNA abundance in solid tissues by nuclease protection assays (1, 2) are difficult, because of problems attaining efficient RNA extraction and because of RNA instability during molecular hybridization or after denaturation of nuclease-treated, probe:target hybrids. A method to overcome these difficulties in the case of tissue cultured cells was published (3) which conducted molecu...

A rapid development of the antivirus and antispy software makes us realize how the threat of unauthorized exploring of computer data has been increasing in the recent few years. It is evident, that new generation of spyware has the ability to penetrate computer data through a network. The author suggests that untypical structure of hardware can improve security of data. In this paper the idea o...

With the increasing intellectual property (IP) abuse in System‐on‐a‐Chip design, watermarking technique is playing an important role for IP protection. In this paper, we combine watermarking methods at different levels to construct a hierarchical watermarking scheme for field programmable gate array (FPGA) IP protec‐ tion. We first embed the watermark into the netlist by using a look‐up table–S...
