New wearable technologies come with high requirements for miniaturization and flexibility, which are usually restricted by rigid batteries. Capacitive power transfer and communication, employing the human body as a conductive medium enables energy-efficient communication and even the possibility to achieve battery-lesswearable sensors distributed on the body. This work presents as a proof-of-concept a complete system consisting of a custom-designed on-body transmitter and battery-less receiver and evaluates the power transmitted and the range achieved. We demonstrate the applicability of our prototype to a real-life scenario as a glucose level tracker even in realistic non-perfect grounding conditions. The realized design offers a power transmission of up to 2.5mW at distances of 15 cm and 5.5 mu W at 125 cm, showing the possibility of battery-less on-body edge computing applications.

Matrix multiplication is one of the most costly linear algebra operations, very often present in scientific computational applications. Current generic linear algebra libraries, such as ScaLAPACK and its recent evolution SLATE, include functionalities for generic and triangular matrix multiplication. They generally rely on block-cyclic partitioning, which has two main advantages. First, it provides good interoperability with other functionalities of the libraries. Second, it provides a good balance of computation and inter-process communications. The focus of these libraries is performance and scalability, targeting even huge number of processes. Nevertheless, many enterprises and computing centers work with commodity clusters or small partitions with a reduced amount of nodes. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a combination of data distributions and communication patterns intending to optimize the triangular matrix product in distributed memory systems when targeting commodity clusters (up to approximately 36 nodes). The main four ideas are: Use panels (horizontal or vertical band partitions) instead of tiling;avoid zero-elements in communication buffers;balance the number of elements in communicated buffers;and evaluate the performance when combined with both pipeline and broadcast communication strategies. We compare our implementation performance against the state-of-the-art implementations provided by ScaLAPACK and SLATE. The results show that we outperform both of them. Our proposal is up to 41% faster than ScaLAPACK, and up to 6.7% faster than SLATE.

Today, a directional wireless multimedia sensor network is a popular environment for solving the task assignment problem. Achieving long-term frontal monitoring of moving objects is a crucial challenge for scholars in this field. Utilizing directional sensors equipped with energy harvesting is an effective technique to enhance network performance. In this way, the energy of nodes is no longer limited to batteries and can result in better frontal monitoring. In this method, each sensor categorizes tasks based on its own energy, allowing the determination of task execution nodes through bidding. The present study proposes a distributed algorithm for directional task assignment, EN-DADA, based on energy harvesting. The task was first classified to determine the candidate node set that could execute the task, and then the task assignment was determined according to the monitoring income of each node in the candidate node set. The comparative analysis confirmed that the proposed method had advantages in terms of task revenue and network lifetime when using the same energy harvesting model. A model of directed sensor nodes with solar energy harvesting is introduced in this paper, where the energy of such nodes is no longer limited to batteries and the directed sensing area enables better frontal tracking. On this basis, we propose a distributed algorithm for directional task ***

As intelligent systems become increasingly important in our daily lives, new ways of interaction are needed. Classical user interfaces pose issues for the physically impaired and are partially not practical or convenient. Gesture recognition is an alternative, but often not reactive enough when conventional cameras are used. This work proposes a Spiking Convolutional Neural Network, processing event- and depth data for gesture recognition. The network is simulated using the open-source neuromorphic computing framework LAVA for offline training and evaluation on an embedded system. For the evaluation three open source data sets are used. Since these do not represent the applied bi-modality, a new data set with synchronized eventand depth data was recorded. The results show the viability of temporal encoding on depth information and modality fusion, even on differently encoded data, to be beneficial to network performance and generalization capabilities.
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have become common models in the field of artificial intelligence to process temporal sequence task, such as speech recognition, text analysis, natural language processing, etc. To spe...

A practical decoder for quantum error correction must decode a dynamic decoding graph comprising all logical qubits in the system in real-time, a challenging task due to resource limitations. We report HeliosNet, a first-of-its-kind decoding system that overcomes resource constraints through a distributed multi-FPGA architecture. It employs a hybrid tree grid topology to minimize latency for lattice surgery operations distributed across multiple FPGAs. Furthermore, HeliosNet introduces fusion-Union-Find, a novel approach to decoding merged logical qubits that avoids redundant computations associated with traditional window decoders. Additionally, we designed HeliosNet architecture to overcome the IO limitation and minimize data movement latency when integrating with existing quantum control systems. Our exploratory prototype of HeliosNet consists of five Xilinx VMK-180 FPGAs and can decode 100 logical qubits (d = 5) faster than the rate of measurement. Thus, we believe that HeliosNet is a promising candidate for the logical qubit decoding layer in the quantum computer control stack.
