Recent research in rehabilitation indicates that tasks that focus on activities of daily living (ADL) is likely to show significant increase in motor recovery after stroke. Most ADL tasks require patients to coordinate their arm and hand movements to complete ADL tasks. This paper presents a new control approach for robot assisted rehabilitation of stroke patients that enables them to perform A...

In this paper we present a novel and general memory-related attack method on ARM-based computing platforms. Our attack deploys the principles of return-oriented programming (ROP), however, in contrast to conventional ROP, it exploits jumps instead of returns, and hence it can not be detected by return address checkers. Although a similar attack has been recently proposed for Intel x86, it was u...

Recently, ARM NEON architecture has occupied a significant share of tablet and smartphone markets due to its low cost and high performance. This paper studies efficient techniques of lattice-based cryptography on ARM processor and presents the first implementation of ring-LWE encryption on ARM NEON architecture. In particular, we propose a vectorized version of Iterative Number Theoretic Transf...

This article presents an algorithm that combines a FAST-based algorithm (Flexible Adaptable-Size Topology), called ARM, and Q-learning algorithm. The ARM is a self organizing architecture. Dynamically adjusting the size of sensitivity regions of each neuron and adaptively pruning one of the redundant neurons, the ARM can preserve resources (available neurons) to accommodate more categories. The...

Ninety-five high school baseball players (16 ± 1 years; 75 ± 13 kg; and 178 ± 20 cm) threw from flat-ground at distances of 9 m, 18 m, 27 m, 37 m, and 46 m while wearing a motusBASEBALL sensor (Motus Global, Massapequa, NY USA). Linear mixed-effects models and likelihood ratio tests were utilized to estimate the within-subject relationship between throwing distance and arm slot, arm speed, shou...

"Save paper, save trees" is a hot agenda in today's world. This paper presents an ingenuous approach to achieve the motto, by proposing a software-only design, through modeling a paper notepad digitally. It describes the financial and social significance of this model underlining its implementation. The paper also briefs about the underlying hardware selected for the design implementation. The ...

In a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture, the functions of resources such as Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) can be reconfigured. Unlike the programmability of a general purpose processor, the programmability of a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture is limited. The limitation might be the number of different patterns or the number of different configurations of each ALU. This paper ...

Medium-sized touch displays, sized 30 to 50 inches, are becoming more affordable and more widely available. Prolonged use of such displays can result in arm fatigue or skin irritation, especially when multiple long distance drags are involved. To address this issue, we present TapDrag, an alternative dragging technique that complements traditional dragging with a simple tapping gesture on both ...

This paper presents a delay measurement techniques using signature analysis, and a scan design for the proposed delay measurement technique to detect small-delay defects. The proposed measurement technique measures the delay of the explicitly sensitized paths with the resolution of the on-chip variable clock generator. The proposed scan design realizes complete on-chip delay measurement in shor...
