This paper proposes a fixed-length routing method based on the color-coding algorithm. In recent LSI system design, exact signal propagation delay is required because of the growth of the operation frequency. To control the delay, the fixed-length routing is widely used. This paper proposes a fixed-length routing method based on the color-coding algorithm. We analyze the complexity of the propo...

Time Synchronization is one of the problems and still ignored problem in area of wireless sensor network (WSN). After reviewing the existing literatures, it is found that there are few studies that combinely address the problem of energy conservation, clustering, routing along with minimizing the errors due to time synchronization in sensor network. Therefore, this manuscript presents a delay-b...

We consider the minority transport in a heterostructure bipolar transistor whose base band gap narrows down toward the collector in Ndiscontinuous steps. Assuming that the potential energy drop at each step is sufficiently large to prevent the reverse flow of minority carriers, we show that the total base propagation delay r is shorter by a factor of iV compared to the diffusive delay in a flat...

Recently, development of original technologies and connection technologies of UW-ASN for data transmission in underwater environment has been accelerated. Since propagation delay is inevitable at acoustic communication in underwater environment, the transmission time tends to be increased as network radius increases. Besides, there are difficulties of Multiple Access Control (MAC) service, whic...

Nanonetwork is a promising research field. It is composed of a number of nanoscale devices and is envisioned to apply to many potential applications. Clock synchronization is essential to establish a distributed cooperation among the nano-devices. This paper investigates the clock synchronization issue for the molecular communication system in the presence of Gaussian distributed propagation de...

The timing and order in which a set of events occur strongly influences whether people judge them to be causally related. But what do people think particular temporal patterns of events tell them about causal structure? And how do they integrate multiple pieces of temporal evidence? We present a behavioral experiment that explores human causal structure induction from multiple temporal patterns...

For sentiment classification, it is often recognized that embedding based on distributional hypothesis is weak in capturing sentiment contrast–contrasting words may have similar local context. Based on broader context, we propose to incorporate Theta Pure Dependence (TPD) into the Paragraph Vector method to reinforce topical and sentimental information. TPD has a theoretical guarantee that the ...

Currently popular HTTP-based video delivery services generate highly variable video traffic over small time scales. This paper confirms that with sufficient transmission bandwidth available to the video traffic, small time scale variations can be reduced to a level approaching the Poisson arrivals without experiencing degradation in the video quality. The primary result in this paper is that up...

Two Point Discrimination test is notorious for their unexplained variations within subjects, between subjects, and between studies. This paper presents a systematic study of these variations and proposes a simple design to control the variations, thereby improving the TPD measurement accuracies. In the proposed Isobaric Aesthesiometer, monofilaments are used replacing the rigid prongs in a hand...

This paper presents an efficient approach to generate tests for gate delay faults. Unlike other known algorithms which try to generate a 'good' delay test the presented algorithm is complete in the sense that if a delay test exists it will generate an optimal delay test. An optimal delay test for a gate delay fault is a test that sensitizes the longest functional path through the fault site. Es...
