Nature inspired capacitive sensor with unique and unclonable characteristic

Nature-inspired Acoustic Sensor Projects

The following pages describe our nature-inspired, or biomimetic, sonars. The biological features incorporated in our sonars include: 1. Binaural reception for accurate bearing determination. 2. Wide bandwidth pulses for object recognition. 3. Echo-controlled sensor mobility. 4. Separate transmitter and receivers for sensitivity of low-level echoes from close-by objects. 5. Nonlinear signal proc...

Designing and Creating a Mouse Using Nature-Inspired Shapes

Human beings have always made their tools and instruments they need using patterns in nature. Mimicking nature has become the foundation of a new science called Biomimetics. In the present article, multiple forms and levels in nature were utilized to design and create a mouse. The rivers are a good source for choosing the shape of a mouse with lots of stones abraded through the centuries which ...

Information-theoretic analysis of capacitive physical unclonable functions

Physical unclonable functions PUFs can be used as a cost-effective means to store cryptographic key material in an unclonable way. In coating PUFs, keys are generated from capacitance measurements of a coating containing many randomly distributed particles with different dielectric constants. We introduce a physical model of coating PUFs by simplifying the capacitance sensors to a parallel plat...
