Common binary arithmetic operations such as addition/subtraction and multiplication suffer from O(n) carry propagation delay where n is the number of digits. Carry lookahead helps to improve the propagation delay to O(log n), but is bounded to a small number of digits due to the complexity of the circuit. A carry-free arithmetic operation can be achieved using a higher radix number system such ...

This paper presents a digits classification system to recognize telephone numbers written on signboards. Candidate regions of digits are extracted from an image through edge extraction, enhancement and labeling. Since the digits in the images often have skew and slant, the digits are recognized after the skew and slant correction. To correct the skew, Hough transform is used, and the slant is c...

This paper deals with variations of the Quadratic Sieve integer factoring algorithm. We describe what we believe is the rst implementation of the Hypercube Multiple Polynomial Quadratic Sieve with two large primes, We have used this program to factor many integers with up to 116 digits. Our program appears to be many times faster than the (non-hypercube) Multiple Polynomial Quadratic Sieve with...

Skilled grasping and manipulation rely on spatial and temporal coordination of multiple hand muscles. This chapter describes the phenomenon of common neural input to hand muscles as one of the mechanisms through which the Central Nervous system might coordinate the neural activation of groups of hand muscles acting on a single or multiple digits. The heterogeneous distribution of common input t...
