Fiber channel FCS/ATM interworking: design and performance study (2002)

The Fibre Channel provides a common efficient transport vehicle for existing channel protocols like intelligent peripheral interface (IPI), small computer system interface (SCSI), and high-performance parallel interface (HIPPI), while offering the characteristics of a new framing type protocol. The main focus driving the design was to find a solution to obtain high throughput using hardware processing and careful protocol relaying architecture between the FCS and ATM. A performance study, considering the protocol relaying architecture and the FCS flow control was performed; the results show that throughput rates approaching line bit rates can be achieved.
Determining the Biofilm Penetrating Ability of Various Biocides Utilizing an Artificial Biofilm Matrix (1997)

Abstract The efficacy of many commonly used biocides is often determined by laboratory evaluations against a variety of planktonic microorganisms. While these tests provide some information as to the performance of a biocide against a particular microorganism, they may not predict how well the biocide will perform under actual field conditions against the more problematic sessile form of the organisms. In order to address the issue of how well a biocide penetrates and kills the problematic microorganisms contained within a biofilm, an artificial biofilm system utilizing microorganisms embedded in alginate beads has been used to compare the efficacy of biocide treatments against both the planktonic and sessile form of the same organism. Pure cultures of Enterobacter aerogenes, as well as mixed field isolates, were used in the experiments. In addition, the alginate beads were prepared with actual system waters taken from a variety of industrial applications. In that way, all of the scale and corrosion inhibitors and other contaminants which are present in the actual system are also present in the model biofilm system. In all cases, the organisms contained within the artificial biofilm were significantly more difficult to kill than the corresponding planktonic microbes.
Contrastive Representation Distillation (2019)

Often we wish to transfer representational knowledge from one neural network to another. Examples include distilling a large network into a smaller one, transferring knowledge from one sensory modality to a second, or ensembling a collection of models into a single estimator. Knowledge distillation, the standard approach to these problems, minimizes the KL divergence between the probabilistic outputs of a teacher and student network. We demonstrate that this objective ignores important structural knowledge of the teacher network. This motivates an alternative objective by which we train a student to capture significantly more information in the teacher's representation of the data. We formulate this objective as contrastive learning. Experiments demonstrate that our resulting new objective outperforms knowledge distillation and other cutting-edge distillers on a variety of knowledge transfer tasks, including single model compression, ensemble distillation, and cross-modal transfer. Our method sets a new state-of-the-art in many transfer tasks, and sometimes even outperforms the teacher network when combined with knowledge distillation.

Configuration Management For Distributed Software Services (1995)

The paper describes the SysMan approach to interactive configuration management of distributed software components (objects). Domains are used to group objects to apply policy and for convenient naming of objects. Configuration Management involves using a domain browser to locate relevant objects within the domain service; creating new objects which form a distributed service; allocating these objects to physical nodes in the system and binding the interfaces of the objects to each other and to existing services. Dynamic reconfiguration of the objects forming a service can be accomplished using this tool. Authorisation policies specify which domains are accessible by which managers and which interfaces can be bound together.
Binding of Actinomycin Chromophore Analogues to DNA (1973)

Five chromophore analogues of actinomycin, viz. phenoxazone (1), aminophenoxazone (2), N-acetylaminophenoxazone (3), N-methylaminophenoxazone (4), and actinocin (5), were synthesized. Of these compounds, only 2 and 4 were found to interact with DNA. The binding constants for these compounds, obtained by spectrophotometric titration, were of the same order of magnitude as that obtained with actinomycin-DNA interaction. The major difference between the binding of actinomycin and of the analogues to DNA was the lability of the complex of the latter compounds in the presence of Mg 2+ ions. These observations have been interpreted to indicate intercalation of the chromophore analogues between successive base pairs of DNA. The spectra of actinocin were unaffected by the addition of DNA. The spectral changes indicative of an interaction between actinocin and DNA observed at low concentration of Mg 2+ ions were abolished at high concentrations of these ions. The implications of these observations to the mechanism of actinomycin binding to DNA are discussed.
Threat analysis model of an agent-based vulnerability mitigation mechanism using Bayesian Belief Networks (2011)

In this paper we propose a threat analysis model based on Bayesian Belief Networks to analyze and quantify threats towards an Agent-Based Host Enumeration and Vulnerability Scanning Mechanism. Based on several threat scenarios, the model also determines the risks posed towards the mechanism's duty of assessment within the enterprise network. The model construct threats scenarios based on sequenced structure and also forms a multi-scenario threat BBN, where malicious behaviors are interdependent and threat performance aspects are adjusted using network and mechanism specific parameters. Based on predetermined event probabilities within these interdependent structures, threat scenarios likelihoods and risks are driven.
Nearly arbitrary on-chip optical filters for ultrafast pulse shaping (2014)

We demonstrate a reverse design method for realizing a broad range of optical filters based on integrated optical waveguides and experimentally verify example designs on a CMOS-compatible silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. The reflectance-based filters allow for control of both phase and amplitude of the optical response. Among this device's many potential applications we highlight and numerically demonstrate its use for ultrafast on-chip pulse shaping.
<b>Hemodynamic Benefits of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Pacing:</b> Comparison with Right Ventricular Apex Pacing (1998)

To assess optimal hemodynamics in relation to stimulation site during right ventricular pacing, 17 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac catheterization were studied. In all patients, right ventricular apex and right ventricular outflow tract stimulation was performed at 85, 100, and 120 beats/min. Cardiac index at both pacing sites was compared using the left ventricular outflow tract continuous wave Doppler technique. Comparison of the two stimulation sites demonstrated that right ventricular outflow tract pacing resulted in a higher cardiac index at 85 beats/min (2.42 +/- 1.2 vs 2.04 +/- 1.0 L/min per m2, P < 0.002) at 100 beats/min (2.78 +/- 1.4 vs 2.35 +/- 1.1 L/min per m2, P < 0.001) and 120 beats/min (3.00 +/- 1.5 vs 2.61 +/- 0.9 L/min per m2, P < 0.001). From a total of 51 paired observations, 45 showed an increase in cardiac index during outflow tract pacing as compared to apex pacing. Right ventricular outflow tract pacing at 120 beats/min resulted in a lower cardiac index than right ventricular apex pacing in patients with significant coronary artery disease and/or impaired left ventricular function (ejection fraction < or = 50%), whereas right ventricular outflow tract pacing produced higher cardiac indices in the absence of these abnormalities. Right ventricular outflow tract pacing resulted in higher cardiac indices as compared to apex pacing in all other subgroups at all other pacing sites tested. It is concluded that stimulation of the right ventricular outflow tract offers a significant hemodynamic benefit during single chamber pacing as compared to conventional apex pacing, particularly in the absence of significant coronary artery disease and/or left ventricular dysfunction.

An X- and Ku-Band 8-Element Phased-Array Receiver in 0.18-$\mu{\hbox{m}}$ SiGe BiCMOS Technology (2008)

This paper demonstrates an 8-element phased array receiver in a standard 0.18-mum SiGe BiCMOS (1P6M, SiGe HBT f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</sub> ap 150 GHz) technology for X- and Ku-band applications. The array receiver adopts the All-RF architecture, where the phase shifting and power combining are done at the RF level. With the integrations of all the digital control circuitry and ESD protection for all I/O pads, the receiver consumes a current of 100 ~ 200 m A from a 3.3 V supply voltage. The receiver shows 1.5 ~ 24.5 dB of power gain per channel from a 50 Omega load at 12 GHz with bias current control, and an associated NF of 4.2 dB (@ max. gain) to 13.2 dB (@ min. gain). The RMS gain error is < 0.9 dB and the RMS phase error is < 6deg at 6-18 GHz for all 4-bit phase states. The measured group delay is 162.5 plusmn 12.5 ps for all phase states at 6-18 GHz. The RMS phase mismatch and RMS gain mismatch among the eight channels are < 2.7deg and 0.4 dB, respectively, for all 16 phase states, over 6-18 GHz. The 8-element array can operate instantaneously at any center frequency and with a wide bandwidth (3 to 6 GHz, depending on the center frequency) given primarily by the 3 dB gain variation in the 6-18 GHz range. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of an All-RF phased array on a silicon chip with very low RMS phase and gain errors at 6-18 GHz. The chip size is 2.2 times 2.45 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> including all pads.
Barbaloin in<i>Aloe</i>Species (1987)

Barbaloin levels in the exudates from the leaves of 68 species of ALOE in the Kew collection have been determined by light absorption at 375 nm following separation by HPLC. The exudates from most species contained between 10-20% although a few concentrations of around 30% were found. The level in the leaf was usually around 1% of thedry weight in plants grown in glasshouses at Kew although some species were found to contain up to 5%. The highest concentrations of barbaloin were found in exudates from young mature leaves just below the apex and the level decreased in older leaves towards the base of the plant. Species in the natural groupings of the genus, Section ANGUIALOE and Group 4, all had appreciable concentrations of barbaloin in the leaf exudates. Species containing barbaloinwere distributed throughout the large heterogeneous Sections EUALOE and PACHYDENDRON with no apparent taxonomic significance.
Hybrid Vehicular and Cloud Distributed Computing: A Case for Cooperative Perception (2020)

In this work, we propose the use of hybrid offloading of computing tasks simultaneously to edge servers (vertical offloading) via LTE communication and to nearby cars (horizontal offloading) via V2V communication, in order to increase the rate at which tasks are processed compared to local processing. Our main contribution is an optimized resource assignment and scheduling framework for hybrid offloading of computing tasks. The framework optimally utilizes the computational resources in the edge and in the micro cloud, while taking into account communication constraints and task requirements. While cooperative perception is the primary use case of our framework, the framework is applicable to other cooperative vehicular applications with high computing demand and significant transmission overhead. The framework is tested in a simulated environment built on top of car traces and communication rates exported from the Veins vehicular networking simulator. We observe a significant increase in the processing rate of cooperative perception sensor frames when hybrid offloading with optimized resource assignment is adopted. Furthermore, the processing rate increases with V2V connectivity as more computing tasks can be offloaded horizontally.
Bioinspired Robotic Dual-Camera System for High-Resolution Vision (2008)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Due to the limited resolution of both cameras and displays, acuity of artificial vision systems is currently well below the human eye. Visual acuity, in cameras as well as in animal eyes, can be increased by making smaller receptors or bigger eyes. In some applications, the size of the camera is constrained, so alternative solutions must be sought. This paper presents a robotic dual-camera vision system whose design is inspired by the visual system of jumping spiders (<emphasis emphasistype="italic">Salticidae</emphasis> family). The system is composed of a telephoto camera whose field of view (FOV) can be moved within the larger FOV of a wide-angle camera and allows to form a high-resolution image, i.e., an image with the FOV of the wide-angle camera, yet having the same resolution as the telephoto camera. We describe the design of the robotic system, the direct and inverse kinematics, and the image processing algorithms that allow to build the high-resolution image. Images from experiments are presented, together with a discussion on sources of errors and possible solutions. The system is particularly useful for fixed-camera monitoring or teleoperation applications, such as remote surveillance and minimally invasive surgery. The system achieves seven times higher resolution than typical commercial endoscopes. </para>
Quality programmable vector processors for approximate computing (2013)

Approximate computing leverages the intrinsic resilience of applications to inexactness in their computations, to achieve a desirable trade-off between efficiency (performance or energy) and acceptable quality of results. To broaden the applicability of approximate computing, we propose quality programmable processors, in which the notion of quality is explicitly codified in the HW/SW interface, i.e., the instruction set. The ISA of a quality programmable processor contains instructions associated with quality fields to specify the accuracy level that must be met during their execution. We show that this ability to control the accuracy of instruction execution greatly enhances the scope of approximate computing, allowing it to be applied to larger parts of programs. The micro-architecture of a quality programmable processor contains hardware mechanisms that translate the instruction-level quality specifications into energy savings. Additionally, it may expose the actual error incurred during the execution of each instruction (which may be less than the specified limit) back to software.
Digital coherent receiver employing photonic downconversion for phase modulated radio-over-fibre links (2009)

A digital coherent receiver employing photonic downconversion is presented and experimentally demonstrated for phase-modulated radio-over-fibre optical links. The receiver is capable of operating at frequencies exceeding the bandwidth of electrical analog-to-digital converter by using photonic downconversion to translate the high-frequency input RF signal to the operating frequency range of the analog-to-digital converter. First, using linear digital demodulation scheme we measure SFDR of the link at microwave frequency of 5 GHz. Thereafter, successful signal demodulation of 50 Mbit/s Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulated data signal at 5 GHz RF carrier frequency is experimentally demonstrated by using an analog-to-digital converter with only 1 GHz bandwidth. We successfully demonstrate signal demodulation, using the proposed digital coherent receiver with photonic downconversion, after 40 km of transmission through standard single mode fiber.
Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks (2005)

Various architectures have been developed for wireless sensor networks. Many of them leave to the programmer important concepts as the way in which the inter-task communication and dynamic reconfigurations are addressed. In this paper we describe the characteristics of a new architecture we proposed - the data-centric architecture. This architecture offers an easy way of structuring the applications designed for wireless sensor nodes that confers them superior performances.

Atomic force microscopy of polymeric liquid films (1989)

We demonstrate the use of the atomic force microscope (AFM) for studying perfluoropolyether polymer liquid films as thin as ∼20 Å. With the AFM we are able to measure three distinct properties of the liquid film: (1) its thickness when the thickness of liquid on the AFM tip is taken into account, (2) the meniscus force acting on the AFM tip as a function of depth into the liquid film, and (3) the topography of the liquid/air interface. All three of these measurements can be done with a very high lateral resolution, ∼1000 Å, demonstrating the unique capability of AFM for studying liquid films. With AFM we have observed several interesting properties of these polymeric liquid films. First films thinner than ∼300 Å are fairly uniformly distributed, while films thicker than ∼300 Å slowly dewet the surface. Second, by measuring the meniscus radius of liquid in a micron sized hole on the surface, we can determine the disjoining pressure in a thin liquid film.

Optically detected electron paramagnetic resonance of AlN single crystals (1999)

AlN single crystals have been investigated using photoluminescence (PL) and optical detection of electron paramagnetic resonance in the PL (ODEPR). All crystals were found to exhibit intense PL extending from the visible into the near infrared. Several $S=1$ centers, each with its own distinct emission spectrum, and distant $S=1/2$ pair recombination centers have been observed via ODEPR. In all except one center, $D5,$ no hyperfine structure was observed preventing chemical identification of the impurity involved. In the case of $D5$ the partially resolved hyperfine structure suggests interaction with a 100% abundant nucleus of $I\ensuremath{\sim}5/2.$ We present arguments to associate it with a displaced host aluminum atom.
Gone in 200 Milliseconds: The Challenge of Blocking Malvertising (2016)

Online advertising is a multi-billion dollar global industry that lets advertisers serve ads to specific customers of interest as they browse the web. Using real time bidding (RTB), as web visitors land on a site, advertising networks are alerted of space available and whatever profile information can be gleaned about the visitor. Ad networks then auction this combination of space and profile through ad exchanges, and the winning bid's ad content is served to the web visitor. The entire process, from a visitor landing on a publisher's page to ads being auctioned, takes 200 milliseconds--the time needed to snap your fingers. Operating in such a short time frame requires efficiency and speed, so ad networks typically do not host ad content, and rely on servers optimized to quickly deliver content. This tightly choreographed interaction is a technical marvel, but one with built-in risks. The just-in-time collaboration between ever-changing technology providers gives an opening to malicious actors, who can hire a digital marketer, purchase online advertising space, and through devious means, use ad networks to deliver malware rather than ads. The practice of delivering malware as an ad has been termed malvertising, and its incidence is increasing at an alarming rate. This article will present examples of malvertising, describe its relationship with online advertising, and discuss ways to reduce the incidence of malvertising links.
