Photographing scenes with high dynamic range (HDR) poses great challenges to consumer cameras with their limited sensor bit depth. To address this, Zhao et al. recently proposed a novel sensor concept – the modulo camera – which captures the least significant bits of the recorded scene instead of going into saturation. Similar to conventional pipelines, HDR images can be reconstructed from mult...

This paper describes a new circuit technique for designing noise-tolerant dynamic logic. It is shown that voltage scaling aggravates the crosstalk noise problem and reduces circuit noise immunity, motivating the need for noise-tolerant circuit design. In a 0.35m CMOS technology and at a given supply voltage, the proposed technique provides an improvement in noise immunity of 1 8 (for an AND gat...

Construction crane vessels make use of dynamic positioning (DP) systems during the installation and removal offshore structures to maintain vessel's position. Studies have reported cases instability DP operation caused by uncertainties, such as mooring forces. “robustification” for heavy lift operations, i.e., handling uncertainties systematically with stability guarantees, is a long-standing c...

in thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the reactor to minimize the operation cost. in this article a simulator is developed by the use of a mathematical model, which describes the static operation of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant. the model is used to predict the steady state profiles of the gas temperature and product yields. using a dy...
