In this paper, we propose a multi-signature scheme, in which each signer can express her intention associating with the message to be signed. Signers’ intentions mean a kind of information which can be newly attached...

A high-resolution accelerometer with a bulk-micromachined silicon proof mass and an interferometric position sensor was developed for measuring vibratory accelerations. The interferometer consists of interdigitated ringers that are alternately attached to the proof mass and support substrate. Illuminating the fingers with coherent light generates a series of diffracted beams. The intensity of a given beam depends on the out-of-plane separation between the proof mass fingers and support fingers. Proof masses with mechanical resonances ranging from 80 Hz to 1 kHz were fabricated with a two mask process involving two deep reactive ion etches, an oxide etch stop, and a polyimide protective layer. The structures were packaged with a laser diode and photodiode into 8.6-cm/sup 3/ acrylic housings. The 80-Hz resonant proof mass has a noise equivalent acceleration of 40 ng/rt Hz and a dynamic range of 85 dB at 40 Hz.

In this work, the instruction-level and function-level profile analyses of a MPEG-4 video encoder are performed to design a reconfigurable digital signal processor (DSP) architecture. According to the result from the instruction-level profile analysis, the proposed DSP architecture would be lined up with 5 arithmetic logic units (ALUs), 1 multiplier, and 2 load/store units. Such a line-up in the computation units would allow the proposed DSP architecture to have a better parallel processing capability and a higher hardware usage rate in realizing the MPEG-4 video encoder. The result from the function-level profile analysis reveals that the function of motion estimation requires the most computation power. Hence, the proposed DSP architecture reconfigures 4 ALUs and a multiplier to become a functional unit for high parallel processing of motion estimation. This hardware design of motion estimation is primarily dependent on the adders and multiplier of the proposed DSP architecture, plus a few control circuits to convert the computation units. Such arrangement would have less hardware cost than in conventional video processors with specialized functional units for motion estimation. Lastly benchmark analysis and comparison are done between the proposed DSP architecture and TI TMS320C64x architecture. In processing the MPEG-4 video encoder, the proposed DSP architecture is as much as 80% more efficient in computation than the TI TMS320C64x architecture.

Production videos such as news, sports and movies have a definitive structure that involves short term interaction as well as long term correlation. This structure in video can be captured by models that take into consideration the short term statistics as well as long term recurrence. We investigate the application of probabilistic models that capture this structure. The novel approach is to characterize the short term events in video by models that can account for temporal support in terms of piecewise stationary signals with transitions, These short term events can then be embedded within another temporal model that accounts for transitions between these event and thus characterizes long term history. This also leads to the detection of recurring events in video using a monolithic model. The proposed approach is an unsupervised algorithm for event detection and it can be used for summarization, similarity based matching and enhanced browsing.

Model management in cyber decision support systems (Cyber DSS) is a new approach to problem-solving. This is because professional judgement and insight are critical in decision-making. DSS is designed to support a manager's skill at all stages of decision-making such as problem identification, choosing relevant data to work with, picking an appropriate approach to be used in making the decision and evaluating the alternative course of action. In complex decision situations, it will often be necessary to coordinate the application of multiple decision models for solving a problem. DSS need a model management component that handles the tasks of identifying appropriate models from a problem description, sequencing their application, and in substantiating them with the necessary data.

In the culture of marine chlorellas, it is necessary to count the number in order to understand the condition of increase. For that propose, counting by the naked eye using the microscope has been used. However, this method requires a lot of time and work. We have developed the automatic chlorella counter using image processing and neural network. Its effectiveness is confirmed through the experiment.

To construct three dimensional models from range data, the simultaneous registration of multiple views must be accomplished. There exists a natural hierarchy between the local problem of aligning two views and the global problem of maintaining a consistent network of relative orientation and positions between views. Our paper addresses the global problem, where we compute orientation and position estimates from noisy inter-frame measurements. This is accomplished by building a graph of infer-frame relations, selecting a set of basis cycles which fully describe the graph, and distributing accumulated error about the basis cycles.

In high-speed packages, the high-frequency characteristic of the interconnection structure becomes increasingly important. In this paper, the propagation characteristics of the stripline placed on the meshed ground plane (SMEP) are determined. The effective dielectric constant and the characteristic impedance of the single SMEP are determined by utilizing the full-wave analysis. For the longitudinally periodic structure modeling of SMEP, the finite-difference time-domain method based on Floquet's theorem is used. The slow wave effect and the high impedance characteristic are observed. In addition to the single SMEP analysis, the propagation and coupling property of the coupled SMEP is also presented, which is very important in the cross-talk modeling.
