Josephson Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers as Non-Classical Light Source for Microwave Quantum Illumination
2021
Abstract Detection of low-reflectivity objects can be enriched via the so-called quantum illumination procedure. In order that this quantum procedure outperforms classical detection protocols, entangled states of microwave radiation are initially required. In this paper, we discuss the role of Josephson Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (JTWPAs), based on circuit-QED components, as suitable sources of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, a special signal-idler entangled state. The obtained wide bandwidth makes the JTWPA an ideal candidate for generating quantum radiation in quantum metrology and information processing applications.
An accurate and efficient collaborative intrusion detection framework to secure vehicular networks
2015
Display Omitted We design and implement an accurate and lightweight intrusion detection framework, called AECFV.AECFV aims to protect the vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) against the most dangerous attacks that could occurred on this network.AECFV take into account the VANET's characteristics such as high node's mobility and rapid topology change.AECFV exhibits a high detection rate, low false positive rate, faster attack detection, and lower communication overhead. The advancement of wireless communication leads researchers to develop and conceive the idea of vehicular networks, also known as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Security in such network is mandatory due to a vital informa…
VIGIL System: A Computer Vision-Based AID System. Evaluation in a Ring Motorway Section in Madrid
1994
Abstract The VIGIL system is an Automatic Incident and Congestion Detection System based on computer vision technology tor motorway applications. VIGIL is constituted by two main modules, the Local Sensor Module and the Central System module. The objective of this paper is to describe the VIGIL Central System functions, mainly the alarm filtering and management capabilities, and to present the field trial currently carried out in Madrid within the ARTIS project (Advanced RTI in Spain) supported by the Tranport Telematic Programme of the EC.
An Embedded Real-Time Lane-Keeper for Automatic Vehicle Driving
2008
Automatic vehicle driving involves several issues, such as the capability to follow the road and keep the right lane, to maintain the distance between vehicles, to regulate vehiclepsilas speed, to find the shortest route to a destination. In this paper a real-time automatic lane-keeper is proposed. The main features of the system are the lane markers location process as well as the computation of the vehiclepsilas steering lock. The above techniques require high elaboration speed to execute, check and complete an operation before a prearranged time. Clearly if system processing exceeds the deadline, the whole operation became meaningless or, in the meantime, the vehicle can reach a critical…
A Parallel Face Detection System Implemented on FPGA
2007
In this paper, we introduce a methodology for designing a system for face detection and its implementation on FPGA. The chosen face detection method is the well-known convolutional face finder (CFF) algorithm, which consists in a pipeline of convolutions and subsampling operations. Our goal is to define a parallel architecture able to process efficiently this algorithm. We present a dataflow based architecture algorithm adequation (AAA) methodology implemented using the SynDEx software, in order to find the best compromise between the processing power and functionality requirement of each processor element (PE), and the efficiency of algorithm parallelization. We describe a first implementa…

2021
This dataset contains traces (dF/F0) from in vivo two-photon calcium imaging from Tm1, tm2, Tm4, Tm9, CT1, and T5 neurons from responses to ONOFF fullfield flashes, ON and OFF bars, and moving sinewaves.
Interaction features for prediction of perceptual segmentation:Effects of musicianship and experimental task
2016
As music unfolds in time, structure is recognised and understood by listeners, regardless of their level of musical expertise. A number of studies have found spectral and tonal changes to quite successfully model boundaries between structural sections. However, the effects of musical expertise and experimental task on computational modelling of structure are not yet well understood. These issues need to be addressed to better understand how listeners perceive the structure of music and to improve automatic segmentation algorithms. In this study, computational prediction of segmentation by listeners was investigated for six musical stimuli via a real-time task and an annotation (non real-tim…
A General Fuzzy-Parsing Scheme for Speech Recognition
1985
In this paper a Speech Recognition Methodology is proposed which is based on the general assumption of ‘fuzzyness’ of both speech-data and knowledge-sources. Besides this general principle, there are other fundamental assumptions which are also the bases of the proposed methodology: ‘Modularity’ in the knowledge organization, ‘Homogeneity’ in the representation of data and knowledge, ‘Passiveness’ of the ‘understanding flow’ (no backtraking or feedback), and ‘Parallelism’ in the recognition activity.
The Decline in U.S. Output Growth Volatility: A Wavelet Analysis
2013
The aim of the paper is to determine whether or not the volatility of the growth rate of US output has changed in the period since late 1940's, and to attribute a precise date, if possible, to any such change. By applying the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) to the annualized quarter-to quarter output growth series, we can test the homogeneity of the variance on a scale by scale basis without needing to fit a parametric model to the observed time series. A version of the Inclan and Tiao (1994) Normalised and Centered Cumulative Sum of Squares test, adapted to wavelet analysis, leads us to reject the null hypothesis of constant variance in the two levels of decomposition of the highest resol…
Constraining the spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections with XENON1T
2019
We report the first experimental results on spin-dependent elastic weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) nucleon scattering from the XENON1T dark matter search experiment. The analysis uses the full ton year exposure of XENON1T to constrain the spin-dependent proton-only and neutron-only cases. No significant signal excess is observed, and a profile likelihood ratio analysis is used to set exclusion limits on the WIMP-nucleon interactions. This includes the most stringent constraint to date on the WIMP-neutron cross section, with a minimum of 6.3 × 10−42 cm2 at 30 GeV/c2 and 90% confidence level. The results are compared with those from collider searches and used to exclude new paramet…
