Partitioning has been shown to be an effective method for synthesis of low power finite state machines. In this approach, an FSM is partitioned into two or more coupled sub-machines such that most of the time only one of the sub-machines is active. In this paper, we present a GA based approach for simultaneous partitioning and state assignment of finite state machines with power reduction as th...

This paper combines an analysis of data on security vulnerabilities (published in Bugtraq database) and a focused source-code examination to develop a finite state machine (FSM) model to depict and reason about security vulnerabilities. An in-depth analysis of the vulnerability reports and the corresponding source code of the applications leads to three observations: (i) exploits must pass thro...

In a charge-coupled device (CCD)-based fast steering mirror (FSM) tracking control system, high control bandwidth is the most effective way to enhance the closed-loop performance. However, the control system usually suffers a great deal from mechanical resonances and time delays induced by the low sampling rate of CCDs. To meet the requirements of high precision and load restriction, fiber-opti...

We present a mathematical framework for analyzing the synthesis of interacting finite state systems. The logic S1S is used to derive simple, rigorous, and constructive solutions to problems in sequential synthesis. We obtain exact and approximate sets of permissible FSM network behavior, and address the issue of FSM realizability. This approach is also applied to synthesizing systems with fairn...

begins with two typedefs. We use this coding style to avoid repeating complex types, which in this case are abs list and the vector. The abs list class is a utility class explained in the chapter that explains the graph package. However, its basic purpose is to provide a medium through which the abstract semantics functions can be invoked on all the refinements. The hierar...

This study aimed to investigate the bioavailability of serum isoflavones after the intake of soymilk fermented by Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota containing 32.5% isoflavone aglycones (FSM) or placebo soymilk containing no isoflavone aglycones (SM). In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, crossover trial, 7 healthy premenopausal Japanese women (mean age: 35.3 ± 11.0) consumed FSM...

Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) was launched on May 22, 2018. It carries the Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI) as a technology demonstrator that measures inter-satellite range with nanometer precision using laser-link between satellites. To maintain satellites, LRI uses beam steering method: Fast Steering Mirror (FSM) is actuated to correct for misalignment incomin...

Free school meals (FSM) are a well-recognized intervention for tackling food insecurity among children. National closures during the COVID-19 pandemic meant that there was need to rapidly adapt delivery of FSM. A range food-assistance policies were implemented, but it is not clear if they evidence-based. This study aimed determine transparency evidence use and identify other competing influence...

BACKGROUND Fatigue is a common yet difficult to treat condition in primary care. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a brief cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) based fatigue self-management (FSM) intervention as compared to usual care among patients with chronic fatigue in primary care. METHODS An economic evaluation alongside of a parallel randomized controll...
