The Digital Geneva Convention

Status of Taliban Forces under Article 4 of the Third Geneva Convention of 1949

You have asked for our Office’s views concerning the status of members of the Taliban militia under Article 4 of the 1949 Geneva Convention (III) Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War (“GPW”). Assuming the accuracy of various facts provided to us by the Department of Defense (“DoD”), we conclude that the President has reasonable factual grounds to determine that no members of the Taliba...

Speedup of NULL convention digital circuits using NULL cycle reduction

A NULL Cycle Reduction (NCR) technique is developed to increase the throughput of NULL Convention Logic systems, by reducing the time required to flush complete DATA wavefronts, commonly referred to as the NULL cycle. The NCR technique exploits parallelism by partitioning input wavefronts, such that one circuit processes a DATA wavefront, while its duplicate processes a NULL wavefront. A NCR ar...

Completion-Completeness for NULL Convention Digital Circuits Utilizing the Bit-Wise Completion Strategy

Delay-Insensitive paradigms, such as NULL Convention Logic (NCL), require an additional condition, referred to herein as Completion-Completeness, in order to ensure delay-insensitivity when the bit-wise completion strategy is used along with one or more components that are not complete with respect to all of their inputs. Completion-completeness requires that completion signals only be generate...

Brucellosis summit in Geneva.

The sixth meeting of the Joint FAD/WHO Expert Committee on Brucellosis, which was held in Geneva from 12to 19 November 1985, received a great deal less publicity than the USA-USSR political summit taking place nearby. Nevertheless, the Committee discussed important worldwide issues affecting human and animal health and reviewed the developments in brucellosis which have occurred since 1970, whe...
