Due to the gap in understanding board leadership and specifically, board shared leadership, this article aims at proposing some antecedents of the emergence of board shared leadership. This article incorporates three bodies of literature: Team effectiveness, team leadership, and board management. Based on integrating several theoretical perspectives, nine propositions are developed in relation ...

The purpose of this project is to implement a traditional simple digital calculator that performs the four basic operations; Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division of 8 bits unsigned numbers. Nexys4 board was used to manage four computations, input functions and output functions. 16 switches on the board will be the input, and output will be displayed on the seven-segment on the bo...

Selective attention is a biological mechanisms to process salient subregions of the sensory input space, while suppressing non-salient inputs. We present a hardware selective attention system, implemented using a neuromorphic VLSI chip interfaced to a workstation, via a custom PCI board and based on an address event (spike based) representation of signals. The chip selecs salient inputs and seq...

The project deals with the design and realization of a dedicated board DSP-based for the processing of audio signals for automotive applications (DIGIcar). The I/O interface of the board is composed of two stereo inputs and two stereo outputs. The prototype was realized in a four layer PCB with SMD components. The layers were designed in order to reduce high frequency effects of digital signals...

Abstract: In this paper, a new method is developed in order to estimate the road profile inputs of heavy vehicle. These inputs are very important to evaluate on-board the vertical forces acting on the wheels. The proposed method is based on the use of second and third order sliding mode observers to estimate all the vehicle states (positions, speeds and accelerations) in finite time. Simulation...

In the context of maintenance testing and diagnosis of faulty boards, a functional FSM (Finite State Machine)based model for mixed-signal board has been introduced. The board is broken down into interconnected functional blocks. Each block has an associated functional model which describes its behavior and a test model which specifies how the block can be efficiently tested. A test model for a ...

Pressure on boards to improve corporate performance and management oversight has led to a series of inquiries and reports advocating governance reform. These reports largely reflect an agency perspective of governance and seek to ensure greater board independence from and control of management. While board independence is important to good governance, we contend that frameworks, models and advi...

A tool has been developed to automate the testing and grading of design projects implemented in reprogrammable hardware. The server allows multiple students to test circuits in FPGA hardware over the internet. A web interface allows students to upload their placed and routed designs to the server, which batches the jobs together and (1) sequentially programs an FPGA board, (2) inputs test vecto...
