An Area-Efficient And Wide-Range Digital Dll For Per-Pin Deskew Applications, Chingche Chung, Chienying Yu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this work, we present a 200 MHz to 1.6 GHz digital delay-locked loop (DLL) for per-pin deskew applications. The proposed phase shifters apply linear and scalable circuit architecture for the pin-to-pin delay mismatch of parallel I/O pins. The proposed phase detector with a detection window and the proposed consecutive phase decision method reduce the sensitivity to reference clock jitter. A test chip of the 0.042 mm$^{2}$ DLL and the 3-ps-adjustable-resolution phase shifters with a 0.0025 mm$^{2}$ per-channel area was implemented using a 90-nm CMOS process. Simulation results show that the phase error of the 90$^{\circ}$ phase shifter at 1.6 …

The first advantage is its lower error probability performance, which results from better usage of the constellation space with longer minimum distances. The 2 other advantages are a lower peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and higher noise immunity. Both mathematical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that by applying standard channels in 2 cases, i.e. channels with …

Active noise control (ANC) systems are used to reduce the sound noise level by generating antinoise signals. M-Estimators are widely employed in ANC systems for updating the adaptive FIR filter taps used as the system controller. Observing the state-of-the-art M-estimators design shows that there is a need for further improvements. In this paper, a feedback ANC based on the reinforcement learning (RL) method is proposed. The sensitivity of the constant parameter in the RL method is checked. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proven by comparing the results with previous feedforward studies through computer simulations.

This work proposes an intelligent method for reduced reference image quality assessment based on a reorganized discrete cosine transform (RDCT). A genetic algorithm (GA) is used to compute optimized estimation of the generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD), which then approximates the coefficient distribution in the RDCT domain. Experimental results validate that such an intelligent estimation produces far superior results compared to conventional empirical estimation methods as presented in the literature. We compare the proposed technique with a number of …

Late Fusion Of Facial Dynamics For Automatic Expression Recognition, Alessandra Bandrabur, Laura Florea, Cornel Florea, Matei Mancas

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Installment of a facial expression is associated with contractions and extensions of specific facial muscles. Noting that expression is about changes, we present a model for expression classification based on facial landmarks dynamics. Our model isolates the trajectory of facial fiducial points by wrapping them up in relevant features and discriminating among various alternatives with a machine learning classification system. The used features are geometric and temporal-based and the classification system is represented by a late fusion framework that combines several neural networks with binary responses. The proposed method is robust, being able to handle complex expression classes.
