A low-noise fully-differential CMOS preamplifier for neural recording applications

A fully-differential bandpass CMOS preamplifier for extracellular neural recording is presented in this paper.The capacitive-coupled and capacitive-feedback topology is adopted.We describe the main noise sources of the proposed preamplifier and discuss the methods for achieving the lowest input-referred noise.The preamplifier has a midband gain of 43 dB and a DC gain of 0.The-3 dB upper cut-off frequency of the preamplifier is 6.8 kHz.The lower cut-off frequency can be adjusted for amplifying the field or action potentials located in different bands.It has an input-referred noise of 3.36 μVrms integrated from 1 Hz to 6.8 kHz for recording the local field potentials(LFPs)and the mixed neural spikes with a power dissipation of 24.75 μW from 3.3 V supply.When the passband is configured as 100 Hz-6.8 kHz for only recording spikes,the noise is measured to be 3.01 μVrms.The 0.115 mm2 prototype chip is designed and fabricated in 0.35-μm N-well CMOS(complementary metal oxide semiconductor)2P4M process.     

车载网中一种基于链路稳定度的路由方法

车载自组织网络VANET(vehicular ad hoc network)由于车辆高速移动性、分布不均匀、运动行为受交通环境限制等因素的影响,使得VANET具有网络拓扑结构变化频繁、传输信号受干扰大、网络易于断裂等固有特性。路由选择是VANET的重要组成部分。如何选择下一跳节点是实现路由方法的关键,链路稳定度是衡量VANET性能的重要因素。本文通过计算预期路径的链路稳定度来选择下一跳节点,提出一种基于链路稳定度的路由方法。实验结果表明与传统的AODV相比,本文提出的方法在端到端延时,数据包的传递率等方面有较大的提高。

Service-oriented smart home applications: composition, code generation, deployment, and execution

A smart home usually has a variety of devices or home appliance, instead of designing software for a specific home, this paper proposes a service-oriented framework with a set of ontology systems to support service and device publishing, discovery of devices and their services, composition of control software using existing control services that wrap devices, deployment, and execution of the composed service in an computing environment, monitoring the execution, and recovery from device failure. The ontology systems specify semantic information about devices, services, and workflows used in various smart home, and users can compose and recompose services for their specific needs. New devices, workflows, and services can be added into ontology. Most of the steps in this process can be automated including code generation. For example, service composition will be carried out in three steps: abstract workflow design, function construction, and device discovery, and different codes can be generated for different computing platforms such as Java and Open Services Gateway initiative environments. In this way, a variety of smart home can be constructed rapidly using the framework by discovery and composition using existing services and workflows. This paper illustrates this framework using a media control example to illustrate the ontology, discovery, composition, deployment, execution, monitoring, and recovery.     

Prediction mode modulated data-hiding algorithm for H.264/AVC

In this paper, a data-hiding algorithm with large data payload for H.264/AVC is proposed. The secret information is embedded by modulating the prediction modes of 4?×?4 luminance blocks. If the best mode does not match the information bit, the prediction mode should be modulated by replacing the best mode with the substitute mode. The substitute mode is the one with the least Lagrangian cost among those having different parity with the best mode. Due to high secrecy and easy reproducibility of chaos, the secret information is first encrypted by a chaotic sequence and then a small number of luminance blocks used for data embedding are randomly selected in each macroblock based on another chaotic sequence. The usefulness of multilevel chaotic keys and privacy of the number of 4?×?4 luminance blocks enhance the security. The hidden information can be extracted directly from the encoded stream without resorting to the original video, and merely requires decoding the intra-prediction mode from bit stream rather than decoding the whole video. Experimental results show that the proposed hiding scheme can effectively embed information with little bit rate increase and almost no quality degradation.
