  • Publication number: 20210306080
    Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for high speed acoustic transmission of data in networks and sequences of solid pieces using various propagation modes. The data is converted to several sets, and then the sets are transmitted via propagation modes such as extensional or flexural or torsional or their combinations, using multiple transmitters. This allows to increase transmission rate or reduce transmission error or both for data communication.

  • Patent number: 11055460
    Abstract: A system and method for input-directed constrained random simulation includes obtaining an initial state for a finite state machine (FSM) that models an electronic circuit design under test (DUT), the initial state assigning values to registers of the device under test, by providing an initial state function I(s) relating to the FSM to a satisfiability problem (SAT) solver to obtain register values that satisfy the initial state function. A random Boolean circuit R(i) is constructed. A SAT solver is queried for a satisfying assignment for a conjoined expression providing the conjunction of at least a valid-transition Boolean circuit T(s, i, s?) and the random Boolean circuit R(i), the valid-transition Boolean circuit describing valid transitions of the FSM as a function of current state s, inputs i, and next state s?. The satisfying assignment is added to the end of a constructed trace.

  • Publication number: 20170193183
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides advantageous systems and methods for identifying molecular vulnerabilities in biological pathways and networks. The present disclosure generally involves conceptualizing a disease/disorder at the molecular level as a faulty physiological system, wherein one or more molecules in the complex intracellular signaling network are dysfunctional. This is accomplished by modeling a given physiological system as a digital logic circuit. More particularly, in exemplarily embodiments, binary logic equations are derived by analyzing the interactions between the input and output nodes of a target biological system. These equations are then used to produce a digital circuit representation for the system. Once a digital circuit representation is created, this circuit may advantageously be analyzed, using fault analysis techniques, in order to determine the vulnerability levels of the molecules of the targeted system.

  • Patent number: 8209150
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention exploit cyclostationarity of linearly modulated signals, transmitted through fading channels, to provide robust blind and data-aided mobile speed estimators. Embodiments of the invention utilize at least two methods of cyclic-correlation- and cyclic-spectrum-based methods and extension to space-time speed estimation at the base station in macrocells. In comparison with background art methods, the new estimators of the embodiments of the invention can be used without any need for pilot tones, and are robust to additive stationary noise or interference of any color or distribution. In addition, embodiments of the invention can also be implemented blindly, which can increase the data throughput. Performance results of the estimators of the embodiments of the invention are illustrated via extensive Monte Carlo simulation results.
