Multipliers are a major energy and delay contributor in modern compute-intensive applications due to their complex logic architecture. As such, designing multipliers with reduced energy and faster speed has remained a thoroughgoing challenge. This paper presents a novel, carry-free multiplier, which is suitable for a new-generation of energy-constrained applications. The multiplier circuit

The rising interest in assistive and autonomous driving systems throughout the past decade has led to an active research community in perception and scene interpretation problems like lane detection. Traditional lane detection methods rely on specialized, hand-tailored features which is slow and prone to scalability. Recent methods that rely on deep learning and trained on pixel-wise lane

In recent years, many probability models proposed to calculate the collision probability for each vehicle and those models used in collision avoidance algorithms and intersection management algorithms. In this paper, we introduce a method to calculate the collision probability of vehicles at an urban intersection. The proposed model uses the current position, speed, acceleration, and turning

Tolerance variations of the design parameters of the photonic crystals due to fabrication processes have a strong effect on the performance of the photonic crystals and their operating wavelengths. In this work, the uncertainties of the design parameters of one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PCs) and their impacts on the PCs optical properties and the operating performance are investigated. The

Most publications that are concerned with the crack detection via analyzing Eigenfrequencies or deformation modes of wind turbine blades (WTBs) are done in stationary condition. This paper however proposes a novel approach that could study the effect of WTB cracks during rotation at any speed without the need to stop the turbine by using multibody analysis. This approach will reduce the cost of

Implantable probes with built-in light emitters have a promising potential for a range of applications, in particular optogenetic neural stimulation. However, where soft encapsulation methods are used, lifetime will be a function of the quality of encapsulation and the driving mechanism. We have found that a balanced driving mechanism - whereby the integral voltage on encapsulated contacts, can

A virtualized radio access network (V-RAN) is considered one of the key research points in the development of 5G and the interception of machine learning algorithms in the Telecom industry. Recent technological advancements in Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Radio (SDR) are the main blocks towards V-RAN that have enabled the virtualization of dual-site processing instead

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems have a good potential as a renewable energy candidate that are based on converting the incident solar thermal energy to an electrical energy. In this paper, CSP using spot Fresnel lens instead of traditional lenses is presented to enhance the efficiency of the system, where Silicon Carbide (SiC) is used as a coating material for the receiver of the system due

This paper illustrates the design of proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID) controller of 10 KW air heaters for achieving the set point temperature as fast as possible with minimum response overshoot. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical simulations are utilized to predict the natural response of 10 KW input power for the air heater. CFD results are validated with experimental
