Legal admissibility of digital evidence is the ability of that evidence being accepted as evidence in a court of law. Life cycle of digital evidence is very complex. In each stage there is more impact that can violate a chain of custody and its integrity. Contact with different variables occurs through a life cycle of digital evidence and can disrupt its integrity. In order for the evidence to be accepted by the court as valid, chain of custody for digital evidence must be kept, or it must be known who exactly came into contact with evidence in each stage of the investigation. This paper presents a dynamics and life cycle of digital evidence. The Petri nets will be proposed and used for modeling and simulation of this process.展开更多

Its operation mode can be automatically chosen as continuous conduction mode （CCM） or discontinuous conduction mode （DCM）. The converter works in PSM at DCM and in 2 MHz PWM at CCM. Switching loss is reduced at a light load by skipping cycles. Thus high conversion efficiency is realized in a wide load current. The implementations of PWM control blocks, such as the ADC, the digital pulse width modulator （DPWM） and the loop compensator, and PSM control blocks are described in detail. The parameters of the loop compensator can be programmed for different external component values and switching frequencies, which is much more flexible than its analog rivals. The chip is manufactured in 0.13 μm CMOS technology and the chip area is 1.21 mm^2. Experimental results show that the conversion efficiency is high, being 90% at 200 mA and 67% at 20 mA. Meanwhile, the measured load step response shows that the proposed dual-mode converter has good stability.展开更多

文摘In all phases of forensic investigation, digital evidence is exposed to external influences and coming into contact with many factors. Legal admissibility of digital evidence is the ability of that evidence being accepted as evidence in a court of law. Life cycle of digital evidence is very complex. In each stage there is more impact that can violate a chain of custody and its integrity. Contact with different variables occurs through a life cycle of digital evidence and can disrupt its integrity. In order for the evidence to be accepted by the court as valid, chain of custody for digital evidence must be kept, or it must be known who exactly came into contact with evidence in each stage of the investigation. This paper presents a dynamics and life cycle of digital evidence. The Petri nets will be proposed and used for modeling and simulation of this process.

文摘Previous studies show that interconnects occupy a large portion of the timing budget and area in FPGAs.In this work,we propose a time-multiplexing technique on FPGA interconnects.In order to fully exploit this interconnect architecture,we propose a time-multiplexed routing algorithm that can actively identify qualified nets and schedule them to multiplexable wires.We validate the algorithm by using the router to implement 20 benchmark circuits to time-multiplexed FPGAs.We achieve a 38%smaller minimum channel width and 3.8%smaller circuit critical path delay compared with the state-of-the-art architecture router when a wire can be time-multiplexed six times in a cycle.

文摘The paper proposes a low power non-volatile baseband processor with wake-up identification(WUI) receiver for LR-WPAN transceiver.It consists of WUI receiver,main receiver,transmitter,non-volatile memory(NVM) and power management module.The main receiver adopts a unified simplified synchronization method and channel codec with proactive Reed-Solomon Bypass technique,which increases the robustness and energy efficiency of receiver.The WUI receiver specifies the communication node and wakes up the transceiver to reduce average power consumption of the transceiver.The embedded NVM can backup/restore the states information of processor that avoids the loss of the state information caused by power failure and reduces the unnecessary power of repetitive computation when the processor is waked up from power down mode.The baseband processor is designed and verified on a FPGA board.The simulated power consumption of processor is 5.1uW for transmitting and 28.2μW for receiving.The WUI receiver technique reduces the average power consumption of transceiver remarkably.If the transceiver operates 30 seconds in every 15 minutes,the average power consumption of the transceiver can be reduced by two orders of magnitude.The NVM avoids the loss of the state information caused by power failure and energy waste caused by repetitive computation.

文摘Electromagnetic(EM)metamaterials represent a cutting-edge field that achieves anomalously macroscopic properties through artificial design and arrangement of microstructure arrays to freely manipulate EM fields and waves in desired ways.The unit cell of a microstructure array is also called a meta-atom,which can construct effective medium parameters that do not exist in traditional materials or are difficult to realize with traditional technologies.By deep integration with digital information,the meta-atom is evolved to a digital meta-atom,leading to the emergence of information metamaterials.Information metamaterials break the inherent barriers between the EM and digital domains,providing a physical platform for controlling EM waves and modulating digital information simultaneously.The concepts of meta-atoms and metamaterials are also introduced to high-frequency integrated circuit designs to address issues that cannot be solved by traditional methods,since lumped-parameter models become unsustainable at microscopic scales.By incorporating several meta-atoms to form a metachip,precise manipulation of the EM field distribution can be achieved at microscopic scales.In this perspective,we summarize the physical connotations and main classifications of meta-atoms and briefly discuss their future development trends.Through this article,we hope to draw more research attention to explore the potential values of meta-atoms,thereby opening up a broader stage for the in-depth development of metamaterials.

文摘As a virtual representation of a specific physical asset,the digital twin has great potential for realizing the life cycle maintenance management of a dynamic system.Nevertheless,the dynamic stress concentration is generated since the state of the dynamic system changes over time.This generation of dynamic stress concentration has hindered the exploitation of the digital twin to reflect the dynamic behaviors of systems in practical engineering applications.In this context,this paper is interested in achieving real-time performance prediction of dynamic systems by developing a new digital twin framework that includes simulation data,measuring data,multi-level fusion modeling(M-LFM),visualization techniques,and fatigue analysis.To leverage its capacity,the M-LFM method combines the advantages of different surrogate models and integrates simulation and measured data,which can improve the prediction accuracy of dynamic stress concentration.A telescopic boom crane is used as an example to verify the proposed framework for stress prediction and fatigue analysis of the complex dynamic system.The results show that the M-LFM method has better performance in the computational efficiency and calculation accuracy of the stress prediction compared with the polynomial response surface method and the kriging method.In other words,the proposed framework can leverage the advantages of digital twins in a dynamic system:damage monitoring,safety assessment,and other aspects and then promote the development of digital twins in industrial fields.

文摘On-skin digitalization,streamlining the concept of the“human to device to cyberspace”platform,has attracted great attention due to its vital function in remote medicine and human-cyber interfaces.Beyond traditional rigid electrodes,soft electrodes with conformal and comfortable interfaces are essential for long-term and high-fidelity signal acquisition.In addition,the on-skin data processing systems will get rid of complex cables toward a vision of fascinating form,being lightweight,skin-friendly and even imperceptible.Although numerous soft materials and devices with mechanical tolerance have been developed,the study of conformal electrodes and on-skin digital integrated systems are still in infancy.Here,the requirements and designs of conformal electrodes,the emerging opportunities and challenges from multichannel/multifunctional sensors to a whole new on-skin sensing platform are highlighted.

文摘Background:With significant advancement and demand for digital transformation,the digital twin has been gaining increasing attention as it is capable of establishing real-time mapping between physical space and virtual space.In this work,a shape-performance integrated digital twin solution is presented to predict the real-time biomechanics of the lumbar spine during human movement.Methods:A finite element model(FEM)of the lumbar spine was firstly developed using computed tomography(CT)and constrained by the body movement which was calculated by the inverse kinematics algorithm.The Gaussian process regression was utilized to train the predicted results and create the digital twin of the lumbar spine in real-time.Finally,a three-dimensional virtual reality system was developed using Unity3D to display and record the real-time biomechanics performance of the lumbar spine during body movement.Results:The evaluation results presented an agreement(R-squared>0.8)between the real-time prediction from digital twin and offline FEM prediction.Conclusions:This approach provides an effective method of real-time planning and warning in spine rehabilitation.

文摘A digitally controlled pulse width modulation/pulse skip modulation （PWM/PSM） dual-mode buck DC/DC converter is proposed. Its operation mode can be automatically chosen as continuous conduction mode （CCM） or discontinuous conduction mode （DCM）. The converter works in PSM at DCM and in 2 MHz PWM at CCM. Switching loss is reduced at a light load by skipping cycles. Thus high conversion efficiency is realized in a wide load current. The implementations of PWM control blocks, such as the ADC, the digital pulse width modulator （DPWM） and the loop compensator, and PSM control blocks are described in detail. The parameters of the loop compensator can be programmed for different external component values and switching frequencies, which is much more flexible than its analog rivals. The chip is manufactured in 0.13 μm CMOS technology and the chip area is 1.21 mm^2. Experimental results show that the conversion efficiency is high, being 90% at 200 mA and 67% at 20 mA. Meanwhile, the measured load step response shows that the proposed dual-mode converter has good stability.
