Arithmetic function modules which are available in many circuits can be utilized to generate test patterns and compact test responses. Recently, it was shown that an adder or an accumulator cannot be used as a bit serial test pattern generator due to the poor random properties of the generated sequences. Thus, accumulator-multiplier or adder-multiplier structures have been proposed. In this pap...

One way to approximate inference in richly-connected graphical models is to apply the sum-product algorithm (a.k.a. probability propagation algorithm), while ignoring the fact that the graph has cycles. The sum-product algorithm can be directly applied in Gaussian networks and in graphs for coding, but for many conditional probability functions including the sigmoid function direct application ...

A pulsed source of positrons has been developed which may be useful for antihydrogen (Iq) formation because it is portable when compared to accelerator-based sources. This positron accumulator uses a Penning-style trap to collect moderated positrons from a radioactive source. The positron pulses may be emitted with repetition rates in the range of 50-1000 Hz, which is appropriate for I:I produc...

This work presents a technique for computing dense disparity maps from a binocular stereo camera system. The methods are applied in an Augmented Reality setting for combining real and virtual worlds with proper occlusions. The proposed stereo correspondence technique is based on area matching and facilitates an efficient strategy by using the concept of a three-dimensional similarity accumulato...

This paper presents a generalization of the race models involving parallel channels. Previous versions of this class of models involved only serial channels, either dependent or independent. Further, concrete applications of these models did not involve variability in the accumulator size (Logan, 1988) or were based on a specific distribution (Bundesen, 1990). We show that the distributions of ...

The development of clean and environmentally friendly energy is necessary to address significant challenges, abundant sea current energy, which plays a key role in the decarbonization our systems has attracted increasing attention among researchers. In present study, remote monitoring diagnosis system was designed accordance with requirements 50 kW hydraulic transmission control power generatio...

Based on the notion of accumulators, we propose a new cryptographic scheme called universal accumulators. This scheme enables one to commit to a set of values using a short accumulator and to efficiently compute a membership witness of any value that has been accumulated. Unlike traditional accumulators, this scheme also enables one to efficiently compute a nonmembership witness of any value th...

A cryptographic accumulator is a scheme where a set of elements is represented by a single short value. This value, along with another value called witness, allows to prove membership into the set. If new values are added or existent values are deleted from the accumulator, then the accumulated value changes and the witnesses need to be updated. In their survey on accumulators [6], Fazio and Ni...

Self-initiated movements are reliably preceded by a gradual buildup of neuronal activity known as the readiness potential (RP). Recent evidence suggests that the RP may reflect subthreshold stochastic fluctuations in neural activity that can be modeled as a process of accumulation to bound. One element of accumulator models that has been largely overlooked in the literature is the stochastic te...
