By partitioning a hardware design into several blocks and adjusting the voltage of the different blocks individually, an overall power consumption reduction is possible. An algorithm and a hardware solution for assigning two supply voltages to a design divided into blocks is presented. The two supply voltages are optimized using an on-chip controller. The on-chip controller assigns one of the two

An approach to constrained resource allocation for real time software components executing on nondeterministic hardware is considered. A model for resource consumption based on execution rate is investigated together with an event-based measurement and parameter estimation scheme. Finally, an algorithm for real time constrained optimization of resources is presented together with results from a ca

Lekmannaterapin och coachingen breder ut sig och har börjat likna en andlig rörelse, skräddarsydd för dagens individcentrerade samhälle. Men när samhällsproblem börjar betraktas som individuella bör vi granska ideologin bakom denna moderna variant av väckelserörelse.

This thesis examines the role played by the topic of immorality in the extant speeches of the Roman politician Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE)and subsequently in the Roman political culture of the late Republic. It traces the portraits of immorality that Cicero made of his political and forensic enemies throughout his political career and his use of immorality as an argument in the Roman Senate

Short survey over the problems connected to the collection and preservation of experimental film

The time-difference of arrival techniques are adapted to locate networked enemy radars using a cooperative team of unmanned aerial vehicles. The team is engaged in deceiving the radars, which limits where they can fly and requires accurate radar positions to be known. Two time-differences of radar pulse arrivals at two vehicle pairs are used to localize one of the radars. An explicit solution for

In this paper we present the implementation of a WebRTC gateway service that can forward ad-hoc RTP data plane traffic from a browser inside a local hospital network to a browser on a local home network. The gateway leverages the same infrastructure used by the hospital to tunnel sensor and control data for medical devices in home-care deployments. In our use case, doctors at hospitals can only ac

The effects on wood of simultaneous mechanical and moisture loading are studied. A constitutive model is given for the case of uniaxial stress in the longitudinal direction. The model has been quantified on the basis of test results found in literature. The validity of the model was checked independently against other tests and a number of practical load situations were studied. Finally the servic
