Multi-dimensional look up tables (LUTs) are widely employed for color transformations due to its high accuracy and general applicability. Using the LUT model generally involves the color measurement of a large number of samples. The precision and uncertainty of the color measurement will be mainly represented in the LUTs, and will affect the smoothness of the color transformation. This, in turn...

In this paper, we present new Boolean matching methods for lookup table (LUT)-based programmable logic blocks (PLBs) and their applications to PLB architecture evaluations and field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology mapping. Our Boolean matching methods, which are based on functional decomposition operations, can characterize functions for complex PLBs consisting of multiple LUTs (possi...

This paper presents a rigorous step towards design-for-assurance by introducing a new class of logically reconfigurable design resilient to design reverse engineering. Based on the non-volatile spin transfer torque (STT) magnetic technology, we introduce a basic set of non-volatile reconfigurable Look-Up-Table (LUT) logic components (NV-STT-based LUTs). STT-based LUT with significantly differen...

The effects of menstrual cycle phase and carbohydrate (CHO) supplementation were investigated during prolonged exercise. Nine healthy, moderately trained women cycled at 70% peak O(2) consumption until exhaustion. Two trials were completed during the follicular (Fol) and luteal (Lut) phases of the menstrual cycle. Subjects consumed 0.6 g CHO. kg body wt(-1). h(-1) (5 ml/kg of a 6% CHO solution ...

This paper presents a family of uniform random number generators designed for efficient implementation in Lookup table (LUT) based FPGA architectures. A generator with a period of 2j1 can be implemented using k flip-flops and k LUTs, and provides k random output bits each cycle. Each generator is based on a binary linear recurrence, with a state-transition matrix designed to make best use of al...

Fractional anisotropy (FA) is the most commonly used quantitative measure of diffusion in the brain. Changes in FA have been reported in many neurological disorders, but the implementation of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in daily clinical practice remains challenging. We propose a novel color look-up table (LUT) based on normative data as a tool for screening FA changes. FA was calculated for...

The autonomic and sensory nervous systems are required for proper function of all visceral organs, including the lower urinary tract (LUT). Despite the wide prevalence of bladder dysfunction, effective treatment options remain limited. Pelvic innervation regenerative strategies are promising, but surprisingly little is known about the molecular factors driving the development of bladder innerva...

Total Bit = PnXBi t Abstract Compression is very important for system with limited channel bandwidth and/or limited storage size. One of the main components in imagehideo compression is a variable length coding (VLC). This paper would discuss about one of the most popular VLC known as Huffman Coding. In our present work, a real time hardware parallel Huffman decoder has been successfully design...

This thesis presents a complete self-calibrating illumination intensity-invariant colour classification system. We extend a novel fuzzy colour processing technique called Fuzzy Colour Contrast Fusion (FCCF) by combining it with a Heuristicassisted Genetic Algorithm (HAGA) for automatic fine-tuning of colour descriptors. Furthermore, we have improved FCCF’s efficiency by processing colour channe...

Sex-related differences in lower urinary tract (LUT) activity responding to intravesical infusion of diluted acetic acid (A/A, pH 3.0) were investigated during cystometrograms in decerebrate unanesthetized mice. A/A produced a decrease of intercontraction intervals in both female and male animals, and the extent of the decrease in male mice was much less than in female mice [19 +/- 5% (P = 0.03...
