This paper describes a semi-dynamic CMOS flip-flop family featuring embedded Threshold Logic functions. First, we describe the new Threshold Logic flipflop concept and circuit operation. Second, we present the concepts of embedded Threshold logic and run-time reprogrammability. Finally, it is proved by Spice simulation results that wide (up to 8 inputs) AND/OR Boolean functions can be embedded ...

In information security, ignorance is not bliss. It is always stated that hiding the protocols (let the other be ignorant about it) does not increase the security of organizations. However, there are cases that ignorance creates protocols. In this paper, we propose distributed contingency logic, a proper extension of contingency (ignorance) logic. Intuitively, a formula is distributed contingen...

Stable generated models for extended generalized logic programs with two kinds of negation provide a semantics for logic programming in its (up to now) most general form. We show that stable generated semantics for extended logic programs coincides with the semantics obtained by translating programs into a minimal partial temporal logic. Then we introduce several new versions of (disjunctive) d...

Optical computing uses photons as information carriers, opening up the possibility for ultrahigh-speed and ultrawide-band information processing. Integrated all-optical logic devices are indispensible core components of optical computing systems. However, up to now, little experimental progress has been made in nanoscale all-optical logic discriminators, which have the function of discriminatin...

The emergence of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has facilitated agile technology implementation that focuses on iterative adaptations via learning by doing rather than the realization a predesigned plan. This study conceptualizes such an approach and explicates its operationalization four-year qualitative case business-to-business (B2B) start-up firm’s HubSpot marketing automation (MA) SaaS. show...
