Several fast software hash functions have been proposed since the hash function MD4 was introduced by R. Rivest in 1990. At the moment, SHA-1, RIPEMD-160, and HAVAL are known as secure dedicated hash functions in MDx-...

In order to measure left ventricular (LV) regional wall thickening, one must accurately track movement of the endocardial and epicardial borders. This task can be exceedingly tedious and error-prone when performed on 2D echocardiographic cineloops. The authors have developed a computer-assisted technique, dynamic M-mode, that allows a user to specify the position of the endocardial and epicardial borders using cursors on a synthetic M-mode image that are synchronized to cursors on the 2D cineloop from which the M-mode was derived. The authors evaluated the accuracy of dynamic M-mode imaging by comparing measurements of wall thickening and rates of wall thickening performed using this technique with those produced using paired transmural ultrasonic crystals implanted on the LV epicardium and endocardium in five open-chested dogs. The results show a close correspondence between the measurements produced by these two methods.

NASA's Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) is planning to launch the Earth Observing System (EOS) starting in 1998. The large number of planned remote sensing satellites will bring 500 Gigabytes of information per day. The EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) is responsible for ingesting and archiving this data. One important component of the EOSDIS system is the data operation, which involves extracting the packets and reconstructing and archiving the original remotely sensed data products. Due to transmission errors, the way data is sampled from the different sensors encoded, packets typically arrive out of order and perhaps with some of them missing or repeated. Many special hardware solutions have been proposed to solve this real-time problem. In this paper, we demonstrate a commercial off the shelf (COTS) solution. The hardware capitalizes on the progress made in the area of network of workstations (NOW), particularly PC-clusters. The software and algorithm exploit the data characteristics and parallelism in the telemetry stream to make use of load balancing and efficient parallel processing. It is shown that this solution can provide high-performance to cost and programmability.

In this paper, the problem of how to better estimate spatially adaptive intensity bounds for image restoration is addressed. When the intensity bounds are estimated from a degraded image, blurring leads to underestimation of the bounds in the edge and texture regions. Therefore, an iterative implementation of the restoration algorithm has been proposed in which the intensity bounds are re-estimated from the current image estimate. However, direct update of the bounds leads to over-smoothing in regions where the bounds are active. Furthermore, the resulting algorithm exhibits slow convergence. In this paper, alternative methods of initially estimating and updating the bounds are proposed, and the results for the fixed- and updated-bound implementations are compared. A method for estimation of the bound tightness parameter is also proposed.

A new method of incorporating local image characteristics into blind image restoration is proposed. The local variance of the degraded image is used as a measure of spatial activity, from which individual pixel bounds are determined. A parameter defined by the user controls the degree of smoothing. The local bounds define the solution more precisely than smoothness constraints on the image (including those that are spatially-adaptive), reducing the number of possible solutions and leading to a faster rate of convergence. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of this method as an alternative/supplement to smoothing constraints in blind image restoration.

A software retrofit method, stand-by loading scheme, is proposed for a switching system in which the service downtime should be suppressed under several minutes per year. In general, software upgrade is performed in the system suspension state. However, in a switching system, it should be exercised without breaking the service continuity and minimize the possible side effects against on-going services. Stand-by loading scheme satisfies such a requirement in addition to the high efficiency in the maintenance and repair, and easy upgrade of additional functions of a switching system, and thus makes the system to evolve easily. Currently, a switching system adopting this method was constructed and has been used successfully in the field.

In this paper we generate conformance test cases for a communication protocol modeled in an EFSM(Extended Finite State Machine) by a fault coverage analysis. For the analysis model, we choose the expanded EFSM to resolve the inter-dependency problem between control and data flows within an EFSM. An expanded EFSM has several useful properties and makes it easy to generate test cases. For test case generation, at first we define data elements in the expanded EFSM. With the definition, we define some probable fault models in edges of the expanded EFSM and discuss what test cases to be needed for satisfying each fault model. The analysis shows that control flow test cases with full fault coverage and data flow test cases satisfying 'all-du-paths' criterion are needed to guarantee high fault coverage in the expanded EFSM. A mass of generated test cases by high fault coverage is optimized through some steps. The result of a simple protocol shows the efficacy of this method.

Short and efficient memory tests is the goal of every test designer. To reduce the cost of production tests, often a simple test which covers most of the faults, e.g. all simple (unlinked) faults, is desirable to eliminate most defective parts;a more costly test can be used thereafter to eliminate the remainder of the bad parts. Such a test-cost efficient approach is used by most manufacturers. In addition, system power-on tests are not allowed a long test time while a high fault coverage is desirable. The authors propose a new realistic fault model (the disturb fault model), and a set of tests for unlinked faults. These tests have the property of covering all simple (unlinked) faults at a very reasonable test time compared with existing tests.
