In this work, we introduce a new technique for taking a single-secret sharing scheme with a general access structure and transforming it into an individually secure multi-secret sharing scheme where every secret has the same general access structure. To increase the information rate, we consider Individual Security which guarantees zero mutual information with each secret individually, for any unauthorized subsets. Our approach involves identifying which shares of the single-secret sharing scheme can be replaced by linear combinations of messages. When
$m-1$
shares are replaced, our scheme obtains an information rate of
$m/\vert S\vert$
, where
$S$
is the set of shares. This provides an improvement over the information rate of
$1/\vert S\vert$
in the original single-secret sharing scheme.

NVMe zoned namespace (ZNS) SSDs present a new class of storage devices with attractive features including low cost, software definability, and stable performance. However, one primary culprit that hinders the adoption of ZNS is the high garbage collection (GC) overhead it brings to host software. The ZNS interface divides the logical address space into size-fixed zones that must be written sequentially. Despite being friendly to flash memory, ZNS requires host software to perform out-of-place updates and GC on individual zones. Current ZNS SSDs typically employ a large zone size (e.g., of GBs) to be conducive to die-level RAID protection on flash memory. This impedes flexible data placement, such as mixing data with different lifetimes in the same zone, and incurs sizable data migrations during zone GC. To address this problem, we propose FlexZNS, a novel ZNS SSD design that provides reliable zoned storage allowing host software to configure the zone size flexibly as well as multiple zone sizes. The size variability of zones poses two interrelated challenges, one for the SSD controller to establish per-zone RAID protection, and the other for host software to manage variable zone capacity loss caused by parity storage. To tackle the challenges, FlexZNS decouples the storage of parity from individual zones on flash memory and hides the zone capacity loss from the host software. We verify FlexZNS on a ZNS-compatible file system F2FS and a popular key-value store RocksDB. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FlexZNS can significantly improve the system performance and reduce GC-induced write amplification, compared with a conventional ZNS SSD with large-sized zones.

A wideband stacked patch antenna decoupling technique is proposed in this paper. The shorted stacked microstrip patch antenna (SS-MPA) achieves excellent isolation between E-plane coupled elements while the coupling between H-plane coupled elements is relatively large. By employing the triangular layout, the H-plane coupling is lessened to a certain extent. To further reduce the mutual coupling between the adjacent elements, a pair of twisted slits on the ground along the non-radiating edge of the SS-MPA are etched, which introduces a new decoupling null in the coupling curve of the intersecting elements, achieving a good decoupling performance in the SSMPA array. Results indicate that good decoupling performance can be realized.

This paper investigates the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted communication network with multiple downlink users (DLUs) and uplink users (ULUs) in the presence of multiple malicious jammers. To guarantee fairness among the users and their uplink and downlink communication throughput, we aim to maximize the minimum average throughput by jointly optimizing the scheduling of ULUs/DLUs, three dimensional (3D) trajectory and the UAV transmission power. Although the optimization problem is computationally intractable due to its non-convexity, we develop an iterative algorithm based on the block coordinate descend approach and the successive convex approximation technique to solve the problem efficiently. Numerical outcomes show that our proposed algorithm can improve throughput significantly over several benchmark schemes.

Most vision-based tactile sensors use elastomer deformation to infer tactile information, which can not sense some modalities, like temperature. As an important part of human tactile perception, temperature sensing can help robots better interact with the environment. In this work, we propose a novel multi-modal vision-based tactile sensor, SATac, which can simultaneously perceive information on temperature, pressure, and shear. SATac utilizes the thermoluminescence of strontium aluminate to sense a wide range of temperatures with exceptional resolution. Additionally, the pressure and shear can also be perceived by analyzing the Voronoi diagram. A series of experiments are conducted to verify the performance of our proposed sensor. We also discuss the possible application scenarios and demonstrate how SATac could benefit robot perception capabilities.

Fixture de-embedding represents a procedure developed to eliminate undesirable fixture effects from the initial measurements, allowing us to isolate and obtain the S-parameters solely for the device under test. Currently one of the most popular methods for fixture de-embedding, that is used in most commercial tools, is 2xThru de-embedding. The main advantage of 2xThru de-embedding is that it significantly reduces required number of measurements and is much easier to implement compared to other traditional methods. “IEEE Standard for electrical Characterization of Printed Circuit Board and Related Interconnects at Frequencies up to 50 GHz” provides requirements for fixture design. Based on the requirements 2xThru should have long enough transmission line in the middle. In the present paper will be analyzed the case, when 2xThru does not satisfy requirements of the standard. Particularly, will be considered the case when 2xThru is very short and discontinuity in the fixture is not vanished before it reaches middle point of the structure. We will show in which cases existing de-embedding tools will be able to still extract accurately left and right fixtures from short 2xThru structure.
Embedding information into a printed image is useful in many aspects, in which reliable channel encoding/decoding systems are crucial, since there is information loss and error propagation during transmission. Circula...
