Integrated Management System for quality, safety and security in developing autonomous vehicles (2017)

Nowadays, autonomous cars have prevailed the conceptual phase, already being tangible reality. The paper begins with a quasi-exhaustive review of the mostly encountered standards/concepts applied in developing Electronic/Electrical systems inside cars. The actual management systems used in developing automotive work products have their focus mainly on the quality part, not being adapted to effectively include the security activities and safety aspects. Consequently, there were reviewed the main weaknesses of the “classic” approach. The paper emphasizes the importance of dealing in an integrative manner with security and safety standards, aiming to synthesize a coherent process for the development of autonomous cars. Complementary, it is underlined the importance of integrating the process designed to assure acceptable levels for cyber security risks. It is mandatory to protect the integrity and the confidentiality of information. The authors propose such a unitary concept for developing autonomous vehicles by integrating quality, safety and (cyber)security into one system, called Quality Safety Cyber Security Integrated Management System (QSCSIMS). It is presented the standard-based architecture of the system and a mathematical model of the associated processes. Finally are reviewed the benefits of implementing QSCSIMS in Electronic/Electrical Systems for autonomous driving: improvement of processes, decrease of waste, lower costs, safe and secured systems and finally, satisfied customers.
Reconstitution of the Steroid Receptor·hsp90 Heterocomplex Assembly System of Rabbit Reticulocyte Lysate (1996)

Rabbit reticulocyte lysate contains a multiprotein system that assembles steroid receptors into a heterocomplex with hsp90. In the case of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), the receptor must be bound to hsp90 to bind steroid, and assembly of the GR.hsp90 complex restores the hormone binding domain of the receptor to the steroid binding conformation. Using both direct assay of heterocomplex assembly by Western blotting and indirect assay of assembly by steroid binding, it has previously been determined that the assembly system is both ATP/Mg2+-dependent and K+-dependent and that hsp70 and an acidic 23-kDa protein (p23) are required to form a functional GR.hsp90 complex. It is also thought that a 60-kDa protein (p60) may be required for progesterone receptor.hsp90 heterocomplex assembly, but a complete heterocomplex assembly system has never been reconstituted from individual components. In this work, we separate the proteins of rabbit reticulocyte lysate into three fractions by DEAE chromatography and then reconstitute the GR.hsp90 heterocomplex assembly system in a manner that requires the presence of each fraction. Fraction A contains most of the hsp70 and all of the p60 in lysate, and elimination of p60 by immunoadsorption inactivates this fraction, with bioactivity being restored by the addition of bacterially expressed human p60. The activity of fraction A is replaced by a combination of highly purified rabbit hsp70 and lysate from p60-expressing bacteria. Fraction B contains hsp90, and its activity is replaced by purified rabbit hsp90. Fraction C contains p23, and its activity is replaced in the recombined system by highly purified bacterially expressed human p23. A minimal GR.hsp90 heterocomplex assembly system was reconstituted with purified rabbit hsp70 and hsp90 and bacterially expressed human p23 and p60. This reports the first reconstitution of this apparently ubiquitous protein folding/heterocomplex assembly system.
Catalytic dehydrohalogenation and hydrogenation using H{sub 2} and palladium as a method for the removal of tetrachloroethylene from water (1995)

The reduction of tetrachloroethylene to ethane in water by hydrogen and supported palladium was rapid at room temperature even at the low hydrogen partial pressure of 0.1 atm. The rate constant for reaction of PCE with 0.05g of 1% Pd on polyethylenimine coated beads was 0.034min{sup -1}. Ethane and ethene production were concomitant with ethane accounting for 65% of the initial PCE and ethene about 2%. When the support was alumina pellets, granular carbon, or activated carbon powder, PCE disappeared within 10 minutes and rate data could not obtained. Ethane was produced in these systems with yields of 65-80% while ethene was a reactive intermediate whose maximum amount was about 5% of the initial PCE. Particle size was important when using a carbon support. If hydrogen was added after PCE sorption onto the activated carbon powder, the amount of ethane formed was the same as when hydrogen was added initially. However, when hydrogen was added after PCE sorption onto granular carbon, less than 10% of the PCE could be accounted for as ethane.
λ-Size ITO and Graphene-Based Electro-Optic Modulators on SOI (2014)

One of the key devices that convert electronic signals into high bit-rate photonic data is the electro-optic modulator (EOM). Its on-chip design plays an important role for the integration of electronic and photonic devices for various types of applications including photonic computing and telecommunication. Recently, indium tin oxide (ITO) and graphene have attracted significant attention primarily due to their extraordinary electro-optic properties for the design of ultra-compact EOMs to handle bandwidth and modulation strength trade-off. Here we show design details of a high-performance ITO-EOM in a plasmonic silicon-on-insulator hybrid structure. Results show that ITO is capable of changing its extinction coefficient by a factor of 136 leading to 3 λ-short devices with an extinction ratio of about 1dB/μm. Further numerical device optimizations demonstrate the feasibility for an extinction ratio and on-chip insertion loss of about 6 dB/μm and 0.25 dB, respectively, for a sub-wavelength compact (0.78 λ) EOM design using ITO. Utilizing graphene as an active switching material in a similar ultra-compact plasmonic hybrid EOM design yields enhanced light-matter interaction, in which extinction-ratio is 9 times larger than the insertion-loss for a 0.78 λ short device. Both ITO and graphene EOMs are capable of broadband operations (>500 nm) since no resonator is deployed.
RFID authentication protocol for low-cost tags (2008)

In this paper, we investigate the possible privacy and security threats to RFID systems, and consider whether previously proposed RFID protocols address these threats. We then propose a new authentication protocol which provides the identified privacy and security features and is also efficient. The new protocol resists tag information leakage, tag location tracking, replay attacks, denial of service attacks, backward traceability, forward traceability (under an assumption), and server impersonation (also under an assumption). We also show that it requires less tag-side storage and computation than other similarly structured RFID protocols.
Nutrition and Schools: Making Healthy Choices. (1990)

RGE represents a distinct population among patients presenting with dyspepsia in whom fundoplication, diabetes, and male gender were the strongest clinical predictors. RGE was significantly associated with nausea/vomiting, weight loss, and autonomic symptoms.
Medium Bandwidth Techniques for Estimating Temporal Delays Between Input and Output Video Sequences (1999)

This contribution presents new techniques for estimating temporal delays between input and output video streams from video teleconferencing systems. The discussion in this contribution considers alignment, defined as an alignment process that can assign a unique alignment offset, or delay, to every output video frame in a given output video sequence. To achieve the bandwidth reduction necessary for in-service measurements, the variable alignment techniques presented in this contribution are applied to subsampled video images. We have found that a sub-sampling factor of 128 to 1 produces useful variable alignment results. Regardless of the sub-sampling factor used (including sub-sampling factors of 1), there is always a possibility of misalignment. The probability of misalignment increases as the amount of scene motion decreases and the video distortion present in the output increases. Therefore, it has been necessary to implement artificial intelligence techniques that examine the set of most probable alignments produced by the signal processing portion of the algorithm. All of the techniques presented in this contribution can also be applied to whole field correlation algorithms such as those given in ANSI T1.801.04.
Context-Aware Cloud Service Selection Based on Comparison and Aggregation of User Subjective Assessment and Objective Performance Assessment (2014)

This paper proposes a novel context-aware cloud service selection model based on the comparison and aggregation of subjective assessment extracted from cloud user feedback and objective assessment from quantitative performance testing. In this model, objective assessment provided by some professional testing parties is used as a benchmark to filter out potentially biased subjective assessment from cloud users, then objective assessment and subjective assessment are aggregated to evaluate the overall performance of cloud services according to potential cloud users' personalized requests. Moreover, our model takes the contexts of objective assessment and subjective assessment into account. By calculating the similarity between different contexts, the benchmark level of objective assessment is dynamically adjusted according to context similarity, which makes the following comparison and aggregation process more accurate and effective. After aggregation, the final results can quantitatively reflect the overall quality of cloud services. Finally, our proposed model is evaluated through the experiments executed in different conditions.
Calmodulin Kinases II and IV and Calcineurin Are Involved in Leukemia Inhibitory Factor–Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy in Rats (2000)

We recently reported that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) enhances Ca(2+)](i) through an increase in L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca,L)) in adult cardiomyocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether LIF activates Ca(2+)-dependent signaling molecules, such as calcineurin and calmodulin kinases II and IV (CaMKII and CaMKIV), and, if so, whether these Ca(2+)-mediated signaling events contribute to LIF-mediated cardiac hypertrophy. We first confirmed that LIF increased I(Ca,L) and [Ca(2+)](i) in primary cultured rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Calcineurin, CaMKII, and CaMKIV activities increased at 2 minutes and peaked by 1.6-, 2.2-, and 2.2-fold, respectively, at 15 minutes. Nicardipine or verapamil fully inhibited these activities. Autophosphorylation of CaMKII was also observed to parallel the timing of CaMKII activity, and this phosphorylation was blocked by nicardipine, verapamil, or EGTA. LIF treatment led to a 3-fold increase in nuclear factor of activated T cell-luciferase activity. To confirm that inositol triphosphate (IP(3))-induced Ca(2+) release from sarcoplasmic reticulum was not involved in this process, IP(3) content and phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma were investigated. LIF did not increase IP(3) content or phosphorylate phospholipase Cgamma. KN62 (an inhibitor of CaMKII and CaMKIV) attenuated c-fos, brain natriuretic peptide, alpha-skeletal actin, and atrial natriuretic peptide expression. KN62 suppressed the LIF-induced increase in [(3)H]phenylalanine uptake and cell size. Cyclosporin A and FK506 slightly attenuated brain natriuretic peptide but did not affect c-fos or atrial natriuretic peptide expression. Cyclosporin A significantly reduced the LIF-induced increase in [(3)H]phenylalanine uptake. These findings indicated that LIF activated CaMKII, CaMKIV, and calcineurin through an increase in I:(Ca,L) and [Ca(2+)](i) and that CaMKII, CaMKIV, and calcineurin are critically involved in LIF-induced cardiac hypertrophy.

Overview of emerging nonvolatile memory technologies (2014)

Nonvolatile memory technologies in Si-based electronics date back to the 1990s. Ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET) was one of the most promising devices replacing the conventional Flash memory facing physical scaling limitations at those times. A variant of charge storage memory referred to as Flash memory is widely used in consumer electronic products such as cell phones and music players while NAND Flash-based solid-state disks (SSDs) are increasingly displacing hard disk drives as the primary storage device in laptops, desktops, and even data centers. The integration limit of Flash memories is approaching, and many new types of memory to replace conventional Flash memories have been proposed. Emerging memory technologies promise new memories to store more data at less cost than the expensive-to-build silicon chips used by popular consumer gadgets including digital cameras, cell phones and portable music players. They are being investigated and lead to the future as potential alternatives to existing memories in future computing systems. Emerging nonvolatile memory technologies such as magnetic random-access memory (MRAM), spin-transfer torque random-access memory (STT-RAM), ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM), phase-change memory (PCM), and resistive random-access memory (RRAM) combine the speed of static random-access memory (SRAM), the density of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), and the nonvolatility of Flash memory and so become very attractive as another possibility for future memory hierarchies. Many other new classes of emerging memory technologies such as transparent and plastic, three-dimensional (3-D), and quantum dot memory technologies have also gained tremendous popularity in recent years. Subsequently, not an exaggeration to say that computer memory could soon earn the ultimate commercial validation for commercial scale-up and production the cheap plastic knockoff. Therefore, this review is devoted to the rapidly developing new class of memory technologies and scaling of scientific procedures based on an investigation of recent progress in advanced Flash memory devices.
Formation, Thermal Stability and Deformation Behavior of High‐Strength Cu‐Based Bulk Glassy and Nanostructured Alloys (2005)

Cu 47 Ti 33 Zr 11 Ni 8 X 1 (X = Fe, Si, Sn) bulk glass‐forming alloys were prepared using arc melting and copper mold casting. Thermal analysis reveals an obvious glass transition and large supercooled liquid regions (Δ T x = 50 – 57 K) for all alloys. The bulk glassy alloys possess good mechanical properties, including high yield stress (1818 – 2102 MPa) and fracture (1943 – 2186 MPa) strengths, Young's moduli of 67 – 109 GPa and large elastic strains of about 2.0 – 2.7 %. Only the Si‐containing alloy exhibits distinct strain hardening and plasticity (fracture strain of 4.4. %). This is due to a unique nanocomposite microstructure consisting of a uniform distribution of Cu‐rich nanoparticles embedded in the bulk amorphous matrix. The nanocomposite microstructure facilitates the formation of multiple shear bands that make the bulk glassy alloy resistant to crack propagation.
Immunomodulatory properties of rumalon, a glycosaminoglycan peptide complex, in patients with osteoarthritis: activation of T helper cell type 2 cytokines and antigen-specific IgG4 antigen-specific igG4 antibodies. (2000)

Rumalon appears to have immunomodulatory properties and preferentially stimulates IgG4 antibodies via the activation of type 2 cytokines in vivo. Whether these phenomena can be correlated with the postulated therapeutic effect of Rumalon in patients with OA remains to be seen, but pain relief via release of endorphins by Th2 cells could be one explanation.
Full-Spectrum CT Reconstruction Using a Weighted Least Squares Algorithm With an Energy-Axis Penalty (2010)

Recent developments in X-ray detectors have created the potential to perform energy-sensitive X-ray computed tomography (CT); that is, to reconstruct a series of CT images associated with different X-ray energies from a single scan. In this paper we propose a penalized weighted least squares (PWLS) algorithm for reconstruction of polychromatic energy-differentiated X-ray CT data and a unique experimental setup to take energy-differentiated X-ray CT data. The experimental setup is designed to acquire a complete X-ray spectrum for every projection ray. We use these data to estimate the linear attenuation coefficient as a function of energy for every pixel in the reconstructed attenuation map. We use prior knowledge of the properties of attenuation spectra to smooth the reconstructions, significantly reducing the noise and improving the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in the reconstructed images without significantly biasing the data. We conclude that this algorithm is an effective method for reconstructing energy-sensitive CT data and provides justification for further research in energy sensitive CT systems.
Using hypnosis to accelerate the healing of bone fractures: a randomized controlled pilot study. (1999)

Despite a small sample size and limited statistical power, these data suggest that hypnosis may be capable of enhancing both anatomical and functional fracture healing, and that further investigation of hypnosis to accelerate healing is warranted.
A full-adder based reconfigurable architecture for fine grain applications: ADAPTO (2008)

Microprocessor and DSP are optimized to perform operations on data having the same size of native wordlength. Their performances decrease when shorter data must be processed. In fact, operations on a short data have the same complexity native wordlength data and data resources aren’t fully exploited. Recently different solutions have been proposed to overcome this problem. Great attention has been posed on architectures based on a main processor supported by a Reconfigurable Unit (RU) - typically based on LUTs- used as coprocessor. In [1]we presented ADAPTO (Adder-based Dynamic Architecture for Processing Tailored Operators) a new reconfigurable architecture that replacing LUTs with another computational element and using a simplified interconnect network allows, in one clock cycle of the main microprocessor, both hardware reconfiguration and instruction execution. In this paper we present a modified version of ADAPTO that achieves more flexibility.
Mass spectral analysis and fragment ion structure of fusarochromanone (1991)

Fusarochromanone is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium equiseti that is implicated in the poultry disease tibial dyschrondroplasia. Electron impact ionization tandem mass spectrometry was used to elucidate probable structures of fragment ions found at m/z 274, 275, 261, 233, 218 and 191 and for devising an analytical rationale for the metabolites of the parent compound. In addition, a sensitive, qualitative liquid chromatographic technique using direct injection continuous-flow fast atom bombardment for the detection of fusarochromanone in corn was devised. Analysis was carried out on a hybrid tandem instrument (VG-7070EQ) using open tubular columns (75 microns i.d.) with direct-flow open-loop injection. The limit of detection of the pure compound was 500 pg in the selected ion monitoring mode. A 50 p.p.b. (500 pg injected) of the pure compound added to ground corn samples was the lowest detectable amount in a biological matrix.

Modeling and Optimization of Memristor and STT-RAM-Based Memory for Low-Power Applications (2015)

Conventional charge-based memory usage in low-power applications is facing major challenges. Some of these challenges are leakage current for static random access memory (SRAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM), additional refresh operation for DRAM, and high programming voltage for Flash. In this paper, two emerging resistive random access memory (ReRAM) technologies are investigated, memristor and spin-transfer torque (STT)-RAM, as potential universal memory candidates to replace traditional ones. Both of these nonvolatile memories support zero leakage and low-voltage operation during read access, which makes them ideal for devices with long sleep time. To date, high write energy for both memristor and STT-RAM is one of the major inhibitors for adopting the technologies. The primary contribution of this paper is centered on addressing the high write energy issue by trading off retention time with noise margin. In doing so, the memristor and STT-RAM power has been compared with the traditional six-transistor-SRAM-based memory power and potential application in wireless sensor nodes is explored. This paper uses 45-nm foundry process technology data for SRAM and physics-based mathematical models derived from real devices for memristor and STT-RAM. The simulations are conducted using MATLAB and the results show a potential power savings of 87% and 77% when using memristor and STT-RAM, respectively, at 1% duty cycle.
