Nanoseconds Timing System Based on IEEE 1588 FPGA Implementation

2019

Clock synchronization procedures are mandatory in most physical experiments where event fragments are readout by spatially dislocated sensors and must be glued together to reconstruct key parameters (e.g. energy, interaction vertex etc.) of the process under investigation. These distributed data readout topologies rely on an accurate time information available at the frontend, where raw data are acquired and tagged with a precise timestamp prior to data buffering and central data collecting. This makes the network complexity and latency, between frontend and backend electronics, negligible within upper bounds imposed by the frontend data buffer capability. The proposed research work describ…

Hardware and firmware developments for the upgrade of the ATLAS Level-1 Central Trigger Processor

2014

The Central Trigger Processor (CTP) is the final stage of the ATLAS first level trigger system which reduces the collision rate of 40 MHz to a Level-1 event rate of 100 kHz. An upgrade of the CTP is currently underway to significantly increase the number of trigger inputs and trigger combinations, allowing additional flexibility for the trigger menu. We present the hardware and FPGA firmware of the newly designed core module (CTPCORE+) module of the CTP, as well as results from a system used for early firmware and software prototyping based on commercial FPGA evaluation boards. First test result from the CTPCORE+ module will also be shown.

Enhancing formability of aluminium alloys by superimposing hydrostatic pressure

2003

Publisher Summary One of the strategic topics in manufacturing engineering is represented by the reduction of components weight. This aim is pursued by utilizing accurate and effective design tools and using lightweight metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys. Unfortunately, such materials often show a poor ductility, and thus enhancing formability is nowadays one of the most relevant research focus, as well as the development of effective and reliable predictive models of defects insurgence during forming processes. In this scenario, forming by means of superimposed hydrostatic pressure represents a promising alternative manufacturing technique. The chapter discusses the si…

Shape distortion and thickness distribution during SPIF processes: experimental and numerical analysis

2011

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a quite new sheet forming process which offers the possibility to deform complex parts without dedicated dies using only a single point tool and a standard 3-axis CNC machine. The process mechanics enables strains much higher than traditional sheet forming processes, but particular attention must be given to the final part geometrical accuracy. In this paper the capabilities of a dedicated explicit numerical model are quantitatively analyzed on pyramid-shaped parts. In particular a comparison between experimental and numerical results is reported. Three different shapes at the varying of the stamping angle were considered and the final shape was ac…

Position based constraint enforcement in game physics

2016

La simulación de sistemas mecánicos para videojuegos y otras aplicaciones interactivas impone restricciones importantes en cuanto a estabilidad, flexibilidad en las escenas y complejidad computacional. En los últimos años han aparecido varias estrategias para la resolución de sistemas mecánicos con restricciones. Algunas de las más populares en el desarrollo de videojuegos usan solamente la posición de las partículas y un algoritmo de proyección sobre la variedad definida por las restricciones, evitando la manipulación de la primera derivada del sistema (las velocidades). De esta forma se consigue una gran estabilidad numérica. El principal defecto de estos métodos es su dependencia en pará…

MAC Design for WiFi Infrastructure Networks: A Game-Theoretic Approach

2011

In WiFi networks, mobile nodes compete for accessing a shared channel by means of a random access protocol called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Although this protocol is in principle fair, since all the stations have the same probability to transmit on the channel, it has been shown that unfair behaviors may emerge in actual networking scenarios because of non-standard configurations of the nodes. Due to the proliferation of open source drivers and programmable cards, enabling an easy customization of the channel access policies, we propose a game-theoretic analysis of random access schemes. Assuming that each node is rational and implements a best response strategy, we show that…

Emergency management in patients with haemophilia A and inhibitors on prophylaxis with emicizumab: AICE practical guidance in collaboration with SIBi…

2020

Emicizumab has been approved in several countries for regular prophylaxis in patients with congenital haemophilia A and FVIII inhibitors because it substantially reduces their bleeding risk and improves quality of life. However, although significantly less frequent, some breakthrough bleeds may still occur while on emicizumab, requiring treatment with bypassing or other haemostatic agents. Thrombotic complications have been reported with the associated use of activated prothrombin complex concentrates. In addition, when surgery/invasive procedures are needed while on emicizumab, their management requires multidisciplinary competences and direct supervision by experts in the use of this agen…

Implementing a Margolus Neighborhood Cellular Automata on a FPGA

2003

Margolus neighborhood is the easiest form of designing Cellular Automata Rules with features such as invertibility or particle conserving. In this paper we introduce a notation to describe completely a rule based on this neighborhood and implement it in two ways: The first corresponds to a classical RAM-based implementation, while the second, based on concurrent cells, is useful for smaller systems in which time is a critical parameter. This implementation has the feature that the evolution of all the cells in the design is performed in the same clock cycle.
