Synchronization and FPGA realization of fractional-order Izhikevich neuron model

This paper generalizes the Izhikevich neuron model in the fractional-order domain for better modeling of neuron dynamics. Accurate and computationally efficient numerical techniques such as non-standard finite difference (NSFD) scheme is used to solve the neuron system in the fractional-order domain for different cases. Neuron synchronization plays an important role in the process of information

Ternary Functions Design Using Memristive Threshold Logic

Memristive threshold logic (MTL) concept is emerged in many circuits to enable high-performance systems in terms of power, energy, area, and delay. This paper proposes a systematic method for building two-bit ternary number functions based on the MTL concept. The proposed method is applied to build the basic ternary arithmetic operations. The implementation of two-bit adder and multiplier is

Memristor-based quinary half adder

This paper theorizes the possibilities of generalizing a memristor based ternary adder circuit, to a memristor based multi-valued logic adder. The proposition tries to achieve the theoretical advantages of processing different numbering systems, increasing the density, and decreasing the processing time, by utilizing the memristor properties and dynamics. This is done using a memristor cell based

Synthesis of a family of differential cross-coupled oscillators and design application

A new class of differential oscillators comprising ten possible circuits is introduced in this work. Half of the members of this family are LC-based oscillators and the other half are RC-based ones. While all oscillators are second-order, a maximum of four resistors was imposed as a restriction on possible oscillators that belong to the proposed architecture. Only two of the found oscillators are

Two-Degree of Freedom Proportional Integral Derivative (2-DOF PID) Controller for Robotic Infusion Stand

Infusion Stand is one of the medical supportive tools in the field of biomedical that assist in holding and carrying medications to patients via intravenous injections. Mobilization of Infusion Stand from a place to another place is necessary not only for the patients itself but also for the nurses. Therefore, this leads to not only uneasiness but also inconvenience for both parties. Therefore, to

Sustainable Product Design through Non-dominated Sorting Cuckoo Search

Sustainability is an important consideration in product design. The sustainable design should fully consider the environmental, social, and economic factors of the product. However, the three factors are often conflicting with each other. This paper aims to strike a balance between these factors and achieve sustainable product design through multi-objective optimization. The three influencing

Security and Efficiency of Feistel Networks Versus Discrete Chaos for Lightweight Speech Encryption

This paper compares examples of non-chaotic and chaotic ciphers from the viewpoint of their suitability for speech encryption, especially in real-time and lightweight cipher systems. The non-chaotic encryption scheme depends on a modified Generalized Feistel Network (GFN), Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) and Substitution Boxes (S-Boxes). The chaotic encryption scheme utilizes a generalized
