New Design and Measurements with 60 mm2 Rococo2 SDD Detectors

Indoor Channel Measurements and Communications System Design at 60 GHz

This paper presents a brief overview of several studies concerning the indoor wireless communications at 60 GHz performed by the IETR. The characterization and the modeling of the radio propagation channel are based on several measurement campaigns realized with the channel sounder developed at IETR. Some typical residential environments were also simulated by ray tracing and Gaussian Beam Trac...

Design and Realization of an ALICE SDD End-Ladder Prototype

The paper presents the last version of a rad-hard digital chip together with a full end-ladder card prototype of the data acquisition (DAQ) chain of the ALICE SDD experiment. The chip has been designed and constructed using a rad-hard digital library provided by CERN. The end-ladder card includes all the electronic devices foreseen for the DAQ chain of ALICE SDD experiment. Moreover the card in...

On Element SDD Approximability

This short communication shows that in some cases scalar elliptic finite element matrices cannot be approximated well by an sdd matrix. We also give a theoretical analysis of a simple heuristic method for approximating an element by an sdd matrix.

SDD: A New Canonical Representation of Propositional Knowledge Bases

We identify a new representation of propositional knowledge bases, the Sentential Decision Diagram (SDD), which is interesting for a number of reasons. First, it is canonical in the presence of additional properties that resemble reduction rules of OBDDs. Second, SDDs can be combined using any Boolean operator in polytime. Third, CNFs with n variables and treewidth w have canonical SDDs of size...
