Silicon-based complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process has become one of the most popular processes to realize system-on-chip (SoC). However, as one of the essential components of wireless SoC, antennas are typically suffering from the poor radiation because of the highly conductive silicon substrate. Such antennas are known as antenna-on-chip (AoC). To enhance the radiation performance of AoC, artificial magnetic conductors (AMC) with double periodic strip structure layers has been proposed in this paper that can not only provide in-phase reflection but also isolate the antenna from the lossy silicon substrate. The proposed AMC shows a gain enhancement of 4.5 dB. The AMC-backed AoC is well-matched within 77-125 GHz and provides a boresight gain of 2 dBi at 94 GHz.

In this work, we present a novel algorithm design methodology that finds the optimal algorithm as a function of inequalities. Specifically, we restrict convergence analyses of algorithms to use a prespecified subset of inequalities, rather than utilizing all true inequalities, and find the optimal algorithm subject to this restriction. This methodology allows us to design algorithms with certain desired characteristics. As concrete demonstrations of this methodology, we find new state-of-the-art accelerated first-order gradient methods using randomized coordinate updates and backtracking line searches.

FPGAs are a compelling substrate for supporting machine learning inference. Tools such as High-Level Synthesis and hls4ml can shorten the development cycle for deploying ML algorithms on FPGAs, but can struggle to handle the large on-chip storage needed for many of these models. In particular the high BRAM usage found in many of these flows can cause Place & Route failures during synthesis. In this paper we propose using a Simulated-Annealing based flow to perform BRAM-aware quantization. This approach trades off inference accuracy with BRAM usage, to provide a high-quality inference engine that still meets on-chip resource constraints. We demonstrate this flow for Transformer-based machine learning algorithms, which include Flash Attention in a Stream-based Dataflow architecture. Our system imposes minimal accuracy drops, yet can reduce BRAM usage by 20%-50%, and improve power efficiency by 264%-812% compared to existing Transformer-based accelerators on FPGAs

Quasi-isotropic antennas have gained attention due to the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensing Networks (WSNs), for their orientation-insensitive communication ability. For those applications, electrically small (ES) antennas are usually preferred, which can save space for the IoT or sensing nodes, while reducing the material cost. Several compact isotropic antennas have been reported recently. However, only very few of them have shown dual-band operation ability. A novel design method to design a dual-band quasi-isotropic ES antenna is presented in this conference proceeding. The utilization of a band stop filter (BSF) enables the conventional single-band quasi-isotropic split ring resonator (SRR) antenna to behave in a dual-band operation, while maintaining the quasi-isotropic radiation for both bands. The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured, which shows a dual-band operation (both bands in ka<1 region) while maintaining decent performance.

Generalized-linear dynamical models (GLDMs) remain a widely-used framework within neuroscience for modeling time-series data, such as neural spiking activity or categorical decision outcomes. Whereas the standard usage of GLDMs is to model a single data source, certain applications require jointly modeling two generalized-linear time-series sources while also dissociating their shared and private dynamics. Most existing GLDM variants and their associated learning algorithms do not support this capability. Here we address this challenge by developing a multi-step analytical subspace identification algorithm for learning a GLDM that explicitly models shared vs. private dynamics within two generalized-linear time-series. In simulations, we demonstrate our algorithm's ability to dissociate and model the dynamics within two time-series sources while being agnostic to their respective observation distributions. In neural data, we consider two specific applications of our algorithm for modeling discrete population spiking activity with respect to a secondary time-series. In both synthetic and real data, GLDMs learned with our algorithm more accurately decoded one time-series from the other using lower-dimensional latent states, as compared to models identified using existing GLDM learning algorithms.

While recent large-scale neural codec language models have shown significant improvement in zero-shot TTS by training on thousands of hours of data, they suffer from drawbacks such as a lack of robustness, slow sampling speed similar to previous autoregressive TTS methods, and reliance on pre-trained neural codec representations. Our work proposes P-Flow, a fast and data-efficient zero-shot TTS model that uses speech prompts for speaker adaptation. P-Flow comprises a speech-prompted text encoder for speaker adaptation and a flow matching generative decoder for high-quality and fast speech synthesis. Our speech-prompted text encoder uses speech prompts and text input to generate speaker-conditional text representation. The flow matching generative decoder uses the speaker-conditional output to synthesize high-quality personalized speech significantly faster than in real-time. Unlike the neural codec language models, we specifically train P-Flow on LibriTTS dataset using a continuous mel-representation. Through our training method using continuous speech prompts, P-Flow matches the speaker similarity performance of the large-scale zero-shot TTS models with two orders of magnitude less training data and has more than 20× faster sampling speed. Our results show that P-Flow has better pronunciation and is preferred in human likeness and speaker similarity to its recent state-of-the-art counterparts, thus defining P-Flow as an attractive and desirable alternative. We provide audio samples on our demo page https://***/labs/adlr/projects/pflow.
