A 90ns 4mb Cmos Eprom

A WORD-WIDE 4Mb (256K x 16) EPROM, developed on CHMOS I11 technology to accommodate future high-density applications that will be dominated by 16b/32b microprocessors and microcontrollers, will be reported. Lithographic advances have driven the scaling of EPROM technology t o the lpm level. The improved resolution in combination with excellent control has allowed scaling of the selfaligned floating gate EPROM memory cell t o 1 1 . 9 W 2 and permitted scaling of the EPROM device channel length to below 0 . 5 ~ . A lightly-doped drain process is implemented in the peripheral N-channel devices t o avoid hot-electron-related degradation. A polycide structure minimizes the RC delays of the word lines and peripheral gates. A multilayer metal film allows higher current densities without electromigration problems. Maintaining the 12.5V programming supply voltage and scaling of the EPROM device channel length decreases the minimum time required to program below lO&ss/word. This allows the 4Mb array to be programmed in less than 3s without the use of block programming. The improved access time has been achieved by several techniques. To improve decoding speed, the high-voltage switching function for programming was incorporated at the last stage of the row and column decoders. The row decoder circuit, shown in Figure 1, includes ratioed NAND logic which provides high-speed operation and compact layout. To upgrade the sensing speed, feedback biasing was placed in the EPROM drain bias circuit; Figure 2. A lucker device provides increased charging of discharged columns. The feedback inverter gain was designed to limit the column voltage swing to less than 200mV. The typical access time achieved was 90ns. Figures 3 and 6 show the address access time and operating margin, respectively. Table 2 summarizes the key characteristics of the 4Mb EPROM. In high-speed memory chips, the switching time of the outputs becomes a large percentage of the access time. In the process of reducing this time, the noise on the power lines becomes a critical problem, especially in wordwide designs. To resolve the noise issue feedback was included in the output buffer circuit that ensured a mutually-exclusive condition of the N-channe1 drivers; Figure 4. A bias circuit has been used t o limit the gate drive of the N-channel devices. The outputs are switched in succession, rather than all at once to reduce the effective dI/dT seen at the inductive power busses.
Hétérogénéité spatio-temporelle du microbiote de la grotte de Lascaux

L’anthropisation est la principale source de perturbations dans les grottes, et dans la grotte de Lascaux cela a entraine la proliferation de microorganismes et des alterations de paroi menacant sa conservation. L’objectif de cette these etait de mieux comprendre l’ecologie des microorganismes colonisant la grotte de Lascaux, en identifiant sa communaute microbienne a differentes echelles spatio-temporelles, de caracteriser les facteurs qui structurent cette communaute et d’en etudier la dynamique fonctionnelle en utilisant le sequencage a haut debit d’acides nucleiques, une nouvelle approche a Lascaux. Une comparaison a l’echelle regionale de differentes grottes de Dordogne, plus ou moins anthropisees a ete realisee, puis a une echelle locale avec l’etude de salles de Lascaux, le Passage pour evaluer le role des substrats mineraux, et l’Abside qui presente deux types d’alterations (taches noires et zones sombres). Nos resultats montrent que les grottes anthropisees (dont Lascaux) ont des communautes microbiennes particulieres. Le substrat mineral structure davantage la communaute du Passage que la presence de taches. Dans l’Abside, bien que les zones sombres soient visuellement differentes des taches noires, les communautes microbiennes presentent des similarites fortes, et notamment le role des interactions entre les collemboles, les champignons noirs et des bacteries. Enfin, les profils metatranscriptomiques different en fonction des salles et de la presence de taches. Ce projet a permis de caracteriser l’ecologie de la communaute microbienne de Lascaux et permet de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement microbien de la grotte
Determinants of Functional Outcomes Using Clinical Pathways for Rehabilitation After Hip Fracture Surgery

Background This study evaluated functional outcomes using newly established clinical pathways after hip fracture surgery in older adults and analyzed the major determinants of successful functional outcomes in rehabilitation programs using standardized clinical pathways. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study performed in a tertiary rehabilitation facility. A total of 220 patients who had received unilateral hip fracture surgery were followed up from immediately after surgery to 6 months postoperatively. Clinical pathways for rehabilitation included early, individualized rehabilitation, education for activities of daily living, review of general medical conditions, and arrangement of discharge settings. One rehabilitation specialist consecutively checked ambulatory function using 3-level grading, and patients were classified into good recovery and poor recovery groups based on ambulatory function at 6 months postoperatively. Logistic regression analysis was performed using 7 representative variables (age, sex, bone mineral density, Mini-Mental Status Examination [MMSE], Berg Balance Scale [BBS], premorbid ambulatory function, and length of hospital stay). Results A total of 86.8% of patients could walk with or without assistance at 6 months after surgery and 75.5% of patients involved in the rehabilitation program were classified into the good recovery group in this study. the good recovery group showed higher mmse and bbs scores compared with the poor recovery group. the factors in the model most strongly correlated with recovery were mmse and bbs. Conclusion This study showed that a well-designed rehabilitation program could improve ambulatory function in older patients after hip fracture surgery and that cognitive impairment and poor balance control may inhibit the recovery of ambulatory function.
6×86: the Cyrix solution to executing ×86 binaries on a high performance microprocessor

With the 6/spl times/86 microprocessor, Cyrix's design team demands optimum functionality and performance at an acceptable cost. Cyrix maintains that the way to get high performance is to keep larger units of processing together and to incorporate as much concurrency of execution as possible. To do the former, the microprocessor attempts to keep together all parts of an /spl times/86 instruction as it passes through its seven processing steps. To do the latter, it attempts to initiate the processing of two /spl times/86 instructions each cycle, and pipelines the processing of each instruction in seven stages. Most of this paper deals with issues involving keeping these seven stages of the two pipelines busy so the microprocessor can attempt to approach the twofold increase in performance that is made possible by the underlying structure.
Pharmacological treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip and knee

Treatment goals for the management of hip and knee osteo - arthritis are to reduce pain, maintain or improve function, and, where pos- sible, to slow the progress of the underlying disease. The benefits and potential toxicities of pharmacologi- cal options should be considered and treatment should be individ - ualized according to patient symp- toms, preferences, and a therapeu- tic agent's overall safety profile. When intrusive pain or disability persists despite a substantial trial of nonsurgical therapy, or when con- trolling symptoms requires long- term opioids, high-dose acetamin - ophen or NSAIDs, and repeated intra-articular injections, referral for surgical options should be con- sidered. T reatment for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) aims to reduce pain, maintain or im - prove function, and, where possible, to slow the progress of the underlying disease. Although no med- ication has yet been shown to slow the advance of joint pathology in osteo - arthritis, pharmacological manage- ment remains an integral component of therapy for most patients in the course of their disease. Knowledge of the current evi- dence can support safe and effective counseling and prescribing practices, and assist in determining when to refer for surgery. As well as consid - ering the benefits and potential tox i- cities of pharmacological options, physicians must individualize treat- ment based on patient symptoms and preferences.
Autonavigation, links and narrative in an adaptive web-based integrated learning environment

The WWW is having increasingly profound effects upon education at all levels. When carefully implemented, web-based educational technologies can offer a cost-efficient means of maintaining teaching quality in the face of almost universally declining per capita resources. In this paper we will first examine the current situation with respect to technology-based learning, and highlight what we see as some of the key concerns with the current panoply. We will then go on to describe the major features and benefits of WHURLE, an experimental adaptive learning environment for the web. WHURLE is an XML-based system that stores educational content in atomistic constructs called chunks. Lessons are created, by educators, which provide a default pathway through the available chunks. This default narrative is adapted to the needs of individual learners by reference to their user profile. WHURLE also provides a robust linking system, and automatically generated navigation around the docuverse of the lesson. By embodying a pedagogically sound design, we hope that WHURLE will address many of the deficiencies of most currently available integrated learning environments.
Model-Theoretic Optimization Approach to Triathlon Performance Under Comparative Static Conditions – Results Based on the Olympic Games 2012

In Olympic-distance triathlon, time minimization is the goal in all three disciplines and the two transitions. Running is the key to winning, whereas swimming and cycling performance are less significantly associated with overall competition time. A comparative static simulation calculation based on the individual times of each discipline was done. Furthermore, the share of the discipline in the total time proved that increasing the scope of running training results in an additional performance development. Looking at the current development in triathlon and taking the Olympic Games in London 2012 as an initial basis for model-theoretic simulations of performance development, the first fact that attracts attention is that running becomes more and more the crucial variable in terms of winning a triathlon. Run times below 29:00 minutes in Olympic-distance triathlon will be decisive for winning. Currently, cycle training time is definitely overrepresented. The share of swimming is considered optimal.
The Carneades Model of Argument Invention

Argument invention is a method that can be used to help an arguer find arguments that could be used to prove a claim he needs to defend. The aim of this paper is to show how argumentation systems recently developed in artificial intelligence can be applied to the task of argument invention. One such system called Carneades is featured. Carneades can be used to analyze arguments, evaluate arguments, to make an argument diagram, and to construct arguments from a database. Using some simple examples, the paper explains how Carneades works as a system of argument invention.
Distortion of depth perception in virtual environments using stereoscopic displays: quantitative assessment and corrective measures

The aim of the presented research was to quantify the distortion of depth perception when using stereoscopic displays. The visualization parameters of the used virtual reality system such as perspective, haploscopic separation and width of stereoscopic separation were varied. The experiment was designed to measure distortion in depth perception according to allocentric frames of reference. The results of the experiments indicate that some of the parameters have an antithetic effect which allows to compensate the distortion of depth perception for a range of depths. In contrast to earlier research which reported underestimation of depth perception we found that depth was overestimated when using true projection parameters according to the position of the eyes of the user and display geometry.
A Hardware‐Based String Matching Using State Transition Compression for Deep Packet Inspection

This letter proposes a memory‐based parallel string matching engine using the compressed state transitions. In the finite‐state machines of each string matcher, the pointers for representing the existence of state transitions are compressed. In addition, the bit fields for storing state transitions can be shared. Therefore, the total memory requirement can be minimized by reducing the memory size for storing state transitions.
Aportaciones al conocimiento sobre la fabricación aditiva con la tecnología Fused Deposition Modeling

En el present treball s’ha abordat les tecnologies per fabricacio additiva (AM, Additive Manufacturing) de peces finals. En la actualitat la fabricacio additiva no es limita nomes a prototips i maquetes sino que tambe permet la fabricacio de productes finals que treballen en condicions equivalents als fabricats mitjancant tecnologies tradicionals. La manca de informacio sobre tecnologies AM i la poca experiencia acumulada dificulta el proces de disseny. El coneixement de la influencia de els diversos parametres de fabricacio en el comportament mecanic de les peces manufacturades amb tecnologies AM es escas y dispers, mentre que la simulacio de les peces en condicions de funcionament no es tan fiable com en el cas de les tecnologies tradicionals. La orientacio de la peca es un dels factors mes important a tenir en compte en qualsevol tecnologia AM ja que afecta al acabat superficial, al cost i al comportament mecanic de les peces. Per al desenvolupament d’aquest treball s’ha utilitzat la tecnologia Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), una de les mes complexes per la quantitat de parametres que s’han de tenir en compte. S’ha estudiat el efecte de diferents parametres de fabricacio en el comportament mecanic de les peces fabricades mitjancant FDM sotmeses a carregues estatiques i dinamiques. A partir de la experimentacio realitzada y els resultats descrits a la bibliografia s’ha desenvolupat una metodologia per determinar la millor orientacio per a la fabricacio de peces finals considerant el seu acabat superficial, cost i comportament mecanic S’ha avaluat el comportament mecanic mitjancant experiments realitzats amb peces fabricades amb FDM. Com a resultat s’ha obtingut la matriu de rigidesa que descriu el model constitutiu del material. Aquesta matriu s’ha utilitzat per la simulacio de el comportament mecanic de peces fabricades per FDM i ha estat validat mitjancant experimentacio. Els experiments mecanics-dinamics realitzats permeten preveure el comportament dinamic de les peces per els diferents parametres de fabricacio.

Analysis of Error in a CML Diffusion Operation

1 Introduction This report supports the paper [Harris, et al. 2002], which describes the implementation of various CML simulations using computer graphics hardware. Because of the limited precision available for fragment computations in graphics hardware, it is important to understand the effect of roundoff error propagation in these computations. Diffusion is an operation that is often used in Coupled Map Lattice (CML) simulations. For this reason, it is useful to study the error in CML simulations by studying diffusion. 2 Fixed Point Error Analysis We will write a fixed-point number x that is the result of an arithmetic operation in a computer as

Buffer Overflow Attack - Vulnerability in Stack

Most of the vulnerability based on buffer overflows aim at forcing the execution of malicious code, mainly in order to give a root shell to the user. The malicious instructions are stored in a buffer, which is overflowed to allow an unexpected use of the process, by changing various memory sections. Buffer overflow attacks exploit a need of bounds checking on the size of input being stored in a buffer array. By writing the data into the memory assigned to array, the attacker can make arbitrary changes to program state stored an adjacent to the array. A buffer overflow is an inconsistent, where a process attempts to store data beyond the boundaries of a fixed length buffer. So that the additional data overwrites next memory the techniques to exploit buffer overflow vulnerability vary per architecture, operating system and memory region locations. The overwritten data may include other buffers, variables and program flow data a technically inclined and malicious user may exploit stack-based buffer overflows to manipulate the program[9,10].

Securing Anonymous and Confidential Database through Privacy Preserving Updates

Typically for economic gain, someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data in a way that involves fraud or deception. So Privacy of database is a necessity. In this paper we propose a system of updating the confidential database with preserving the privacy of it. Anonymization means identifying information is removed from original data to protect personal or private information. Data anonymization can be performed in different ways but in this paper k-anonymization approach is used. Suppose one person X having his own k-anonymous database and needs to determine whether database is still k-anonymous if tuple inserted by another person Y. For some applications (for example, Patient‟s record), database needs to be confidential, so access to the database is strictly controlled. The confidentiality of the database managed by the owner is violated once others have access to the contents of the database. Thus, problem is to check whether the database inserted with the tuple is still k-anonymous without letting the owner X and others (Y) to know the content of the tuple and database respectively. In this paper, we propose two methods solving this problem on suppression and generalization based k-anonymous and confidential database. Beside we are dealing with the case of malicious parties by the introduction of non-colluding third party.
