Test data compression is one of the main objectives to make reliable in testing System on chip design. The data compression mainly relies in the areas of hardware, time and power consumed. This paper presents an efficient test data compression method to achieve high compression ratio. The test patterns have 1, 0 and undefined (x) data. The test patterns are grouped such that to improve compress...

There is a demand for reduced power consumption in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle. Coefficient of performance of window-air conditioners considerably decreases and power consumption increases under very hot conditions. These problems have encouragecl studies aimed at improving the performance of window-air-conditioners by enhancing the heat transfer rate in the condenser. In this ar...

This paper presents the first demonstration of a statistical spoken dialogue system that uses automatic belief compression to reason over complex user goal sets. Reasoning over the power set of possible user goals allows complex sets of user goals to be represented, which leads to more natural dialogues. The use of the power set results in a massive expansion in the number of belief states main...

In this paper, a novel pre-compression rate-distortion optimization algorithm is proposed, which can reduce computation power and memory requirement of JPEG 2000 encoder. It can reduce the wasted computational power of the entropy coder (EBCOT Tier-1) and unnecessary memory requirement for the code-stream. Distortion and rate of coding passes are calculated and estimated before coding, and ther...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been popularly applied for the diagnosis of diseases of the alimentary canal including Crohn's Disease, Celiac disease and other malabsorption disorders, benign and malignant tumors of the small intestine, vascular disorders and medication related small bowel injury. The wireless capsule endoscope has been successfully utilized to diagnose diseases...

MPEG-4 Body Animation Parameters (BAPs) are used for animation of MPEG-4 compliant virtual human-like characters. Distributed virtual reality applications and networked games on mobile computers require access to locally stored or streamed compressed BAP data. Existing MPEG-4 BAP compression techniques are inefficient for streaming, or storing, BAP data on mobile computers, because (a) MPEG-4 c...

The heuristics used for planning and search often take the form of pattern databases generated from abstracted versions of the given state space. Pattern databases are typically stored as lookup tables with one entry for each state in the abstract space, which limits the size of the abstract state space and therefore the quality of the heuristic that can be used with a given amount of memory. I...

Ionization-assisted spectral broadening of high-energy 10.6 μm laser pulses in a gas-filled hollow waveguide is shown to yield single-cycle pulses with multiterawatt peak powers in the mid-IR. While the highest quality of pulse compression is achieved in the regime of weak ionization, careful management of complex ionization-assisted spectral broadening of guided-wave fields is the key to compr...

Autonomous listening devices are increasingly used to study vocal aquatic animals, and there is a constant need to record longer or with greater bandwidth, requiring efficient use of memory and battery power. Real-time compression of sound has the potential to extend recording durations and bandwidths at the expense of increased processing operations and therefore power consumption. Whereas los...

A new scan architecture for both low power testing and test volume compression is proposed. For low power test requirements, only a subset of scan cells is loaded with test stimulus and captured with test responses by freezing the remaining scan cells according to the distribution of unspecified bits in the test cubes. In order to optimize the proposed process, a novel graph-based heuristic is ...
