This study investigates real-time checkpointing techniques in the context of distributed process control applications where checkpointing and recovery operations must meet timing constraints, such as process deadline and plant state validity. We introduce the notion of quasidurability, which allows one to rnake trudeoffs between storage device reliability and the process control and recovery ti...

We present a device for two-stage frequency upconversion of single-photon-level signals in the 1.55 μm telecom band to the green spectral region with low excess noise, suitable for detection by low-timing-jitter silicon single-photon avalanche photodiodes (APDs). We achieve a net conversion efficiency of 87% and a system timing jitter below 70 ps FWHM, dominated by the jitter of the APD. Modifi...

Interfaces, by nature, are often asynchronous since they serve for connecting multiple distributed modules/agents without common clock. However, the most recent developments in the theory of asynchronous design in the areas of speci cations, models, analysis, veri cation, synthesis, technology mapping, timing optimization and performance analysis are not widely known and rarely accepted by indu...

The proposed approach for the statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) problem of latch-based sequential circuits under process variations was investigated. The proposed statistical positive cycle detection algorithm is developed in Section 2. Practical implementation considerations are presented in Section 3. Experimental results are shown in Section 4. Based on the current progress, the futu...

The following report introduces the notion of Statistical Static Timing Analysis and the reasons for its ongrowing necessity in current and future integrated circuit manufacturing. This paper is based on a presentation conducted during the MoscowBavarian Joint Advanced Student School in March 2009. Therefore, it serves as an extention to the slides by providing more thorough explanation to them...

In this paper, we considere a simple, distributed remote attestation method for a WSN that does not require secret information, precise timing measurement, or a tamper-resistant device.

Abstract: The new neonatal ventilation methods have been developed along with utilization of new technological tools.This device is synchronized with the patient’s respiratory efforts. The ideal synchronized breath needs to be synchronous with initiation, size, and termination of the breath without delay in detecting of initial resiratory effort by device .The synchrony of respiration contribut...
