This paper discusses how design-led start-up businesses can enhance their growth potential through securing exclusive access to intellectual property (IP). Many design-led start-up companies commonly see themselves confronted with a dilemma in that they require funds for design development as well as for overheads on the one hand, and for IP on the other. In search for an answer to the question...

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has stimulated urgent innovative responses to tackle the current crisis and unveil new trajectories enabling recovery as early possible. In quest for solutions pandemic, organizations have been forced join efforts with an unprecedented number of different stakeholders, including competitors, rising appropriation-related challenges. To ease these issues facilita...

A fast registration making use of implicit polynomial (IP) models is helpful for the real-time pose estimation from single clinical free-hand Ultrasound (US) image, because it is superior in the areas such as robustness against image noise, fast registration without enquiring correspondences, and fast IP coefficient transformation. However it might lead to the lack of accuracy or failure regist...

Lu), [email protected] (L. Duan), s In this paper, we propose a novel supernode caching scheme to reduce IP lookup latencies and energy consumption in network processors. In stead of using an expensive TCAM based scheme, we imp...

To provide a tool for performance evaluation of IP-based delayand loss-sensitive applications running over wireless channels we propose a novel cross-layer wireless channel modeling approach. We firstly develop simple and computationally efficient wireless channel modeling algorithm. For this purpose we adopt the special solution of the inverse eigenvalue problem and show that its complexity si...

Internet attacks often use IP spoofing to forge the source IP address of packets, and thereby hide the identity of the source. It causes many serious security problems such as the difficulty of packet authenticity and IP traceback. While many IP spoofing prevention techniques have been proposed apart from ingress filtering, none have achieved widespread real-world use. One main reason is the la...

In this paper we present an Intellectual Property (IP) Management system for the super-capacitor pilot plant which is a hybrid Data Mining and Case-Based Reasoning system incorporates Intellectual Property models to help filter information in order to make Intellectual Property protection decisions more precisely. The main issue of implementing this hybrid system is a global knowledge base whic...

Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processors support multiple active concurrent hardware threads in order to share processor resources such as functional units and memory. This thread-level-parallelism (TLP) can be exploited in form of packet-level-parallelisms required in packet processing devices called network processors. In this paper, we propose hardware queues for scheduling process threa...
