Cover Story: RFID Antennas with asymmetric detection patterns can be used to determine the location of people carrying tags in social robotics applications. Social robotics is increasingly accounting for the significance of the areas around social entities. For a robot, being able to detect the position of someone that is in its close neighborhood means that it can adapt its behavior and improve the quality of the interactions with humans. The image shows a probabilistic model of the detection pattern for a system in the band 902-928 MHz (detection probability increasing with the temperature of the color). Detection probabilities can be estimated in realtime from the read counts and matched with these diagrams to obtain estimates of the position of the tags. View the paper here.

Design And Implementation of Low Area/Power Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Hardware Core

  • Anissa Sghaier,
  • Medien Zeghid,
  • Chiraz Massoud and
  • Mohsen Mahchout

The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm(ECDSA) is the analog to the Digital Signature Algorithm(DSA). Based on the elliptic curve, which uses a small key compared to the others public-key algorithms, ECDSA is the most suitable scheme for envir...

  • Clement Ogugua Asogwa,
  • Johanis Aryo Bay,
  • Patrick Mclaughlin,
  • Stephen F. Collins and
  • Daniel T. H. Lai

Lymphoedema is a disease associated with abnormal functioning of the lymph that leads to swelling of the body due to accumulation of tissue fluid on the affected area. Tissue fluid contains ions and electrolytes that affect electrical conductivity. T...

  • Peixin Yang,
  • Xiangqiang Li and
  • Jianqiong Zhang

In some application domains, using a download cable to update the system on a programmable chip (SoPC) is infeasible, which reduces the maintainability and flexibility of the system. Hence the remote system update (RSU) scheme is being studied. In th...
