Due to the continuous technology scaling, soft error becomes a major reliability issue at nanoscale technologies. Single or multiple event transients at low levels can result in multiple correlated bit flips at logic or higher abstraction levels. Addressing this correlation is essentialion levels. Addressing this correlation is essential for accurate low-level soft error rate estimation, and mo...

A birth-death process is a continuous-time Markov chain that counts the number of particles in a system over time. In the general process with n current particles, a new particle is born with instantaneous rate λ(n) and a particle dies with instantaneous rate μ(n). Currently no robust and efficient method exists to evaluate the finite-time transition probabilities in a general birth-death proce...

In this paper we present a novel approach for automatically tracking the reading progress using a combination of eye-gaze tracking and speech recognition. The two are fused by first generating word probabilities based on eye-gaze information and then using these probabilities to augment the language model probabilities during speech recognition. Experimental results on a small dataset show that...

We consider the problem of channel estimation when non-ideal training information (pilots) is available such as in Turbo equalization, where this information are probabilities about the transmitted symbols of varying reliability. We study how these probabilities can be incorporated into common estimation algorithms by observing the estimation error statistics. We consider the two cases that the...

It is pointed out that the moments of phase-space particle density at freeze-out can be determined from the coincidence probabilities of the events observed in multiparticle production. A method to measure the coincidence probabilities is described and its validity examined. Recently we have proposed [1] a method for measuring the average of the particle density in multiparticle phase space. Ge...

By considering the master equation of the partially asymmetric diffusion process on a one-dimensional lattice, the most general boundary condition (i.e. interactions) for the multi-species reaction-diffusion processes is considered. Resulting system has various interactions including diffusion to left and right, two-particle interactions AαAβ → AγAδ and the extended n-particle drop-push interac...

The relative error-probability performance of three linear multiuser detectors—the minimum mean-square error detector, the decorrelator, and the conventional matched filter (MF) detector—is investigated under nonorthogonal signaling and additive white Gaussian noise conditions. It is shown that, contrary to the general belief, the minimum meansquare-error (MMSE) detector does not uniformly outp...

Uncertainties in production and assembly processes have a significant influence on performance. When one speaks about uncertainties, in most of the cases it implies machine breakdowns, defective items or different uncertainties in procurement. However, especially in manual production, each realistic model should also take into account and treat human related uncertainties. Unfortunately, in con...
