In this paper, the application of wide area measurement and control for voltage assessment of hybrid AC/DC smart grid is investigated. The power available from renewable energy assets and storage elements on the microgrids is utilized to maintain system voltage stability. The system under study consists of two DC microgrids coupled to a multi-bus AC system. The supervisory controller of each of the two microgrids continuously communicates with the main controller of the AC grid, sending the available amount of apparent power and receiving power commands. The AC grid is monitored and controlled using a wide area measurement system in which measurements of the different nodes in the system are synchronized to a unified pulse signal. In case of voltage violation at any of the buses, the minimum reactive power needed from each of the micrgrids in order to restore the voltage magnitude to a value that is between the permissible limits is determined in real time by solving an optimization problem. Simulation, as well as experimental, results are included to verify the validity of the proposed wide area control technique.

One of the key issues for system level design topic is the design time. This paper describes custom processor design tool as part of C-to-hardware flow and analyses its design time. The flow starts with C code specification and ends with FPGA implementation. The way the C code is processed has impact on the flow execution time. The implemented C code processing results with Control Flow Graph (CFG), and large control flow code blocks severely prolong the overall design time. Between two possibilities for design time improvement, variations in their granularities are chosen over tool internal algorithm and data structures optimizations. For 32-point DCT test case the results show huge design time decrease at the expense on the design quality: implementation resource occupation and execution time.

The automation of custom hardware design often focuses on hardware optimizations for smaller portions of code that dominate the design execution. The same presumption can be stated for custom processor design. The data path of the processor can be well optimized for particular blocks of code that are formed during control flow extraction. However, larger source codes can have tens of blocks that result from Control Flow Graph (CFG). We implemented a global semi-automated flow that hierarchically forms the set of blocks which contributions are modeled into processor architecture. Resulting processor model is translated to RTL description and implemented inside FPGA logic.

The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is an important diagnostic method for detection and assessment of cardiac abnormalities. The availability of complete computer frameworks that can aid researchers in the field of HRV analysis is limited due to the large number of different feature extraction methods. A recently developed framework for feature extraction from cardiac rhythm called HRVFrame is promising, because it allows a user to access more than 40 implemented linear and nonlinear methods. The aim of this paper is to provide a more detailed overview of this framework and all of its capabilities and recent extensions. Additionally, the aim is to encourage the use of HRVFrame as a free and open-source tool for developing medical applications based on Java programming language. A comparison of the framework with existing solutions for cardiac rhythm analysis is provided.

The change of the quasiparticle density of states in a superconductor due to the Zeeman splitting can lead to highly responsive spintronic devices. This is demonstrated here in the magnetotunneling studies of a supercondcutor/insulator/ferromagnet tunnel junction. A tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) as large as 36% is obtained, resulting from the conductance variation due to spin-split quasiparticle tunneling, and only occurs in the superconducting state. Our results show that in addition to the naturally existent spin imbalance in ferromagnets (upon which conventional TMR is obtained), we can manipulate tunnel conductance by tailoring spin dependent density of states with interfacial exchange fields, and even with a tunnel junction with both superconducting electrodes.

Recent advances in in-vehicle technologies have paved way to a new era of connectivity. Vehicle manufacturers have already deployed various technologies for driving assistance, anti-theft, and infotainment. They are now developing ways to interface mobile devices with vehicles and provide the customer's smartphone or tablet the ability to send/receive information to/from the car. However, such an integration introduces severe security risks to the vehicle. The in-vehicle network was originally designed to operate in a closed environment and thus, security was not of concern. It has now become an important issue due to an increasing number of external interfaces to the in-vehicle network. Several studies have already shown that an in-vehicle network can be easily compromised just by connecting cheap commercial devices and doing reverse engineering. Although research efforts have been made to secure in-vehicle networks, most of them focused on defining security requirements, or presenting attack scenarios without providing any feasible solution. Also, to the best of our knowledge, there hasn't been any study with a specific focus on understanding and analyzing the security aspects of integrating mobile devices with cars. In this paper, we define the integration model, present the attack scenarios, define the security objectives, and then propose a 3-step verification mechanism that meets our objectives.
