?TACI: Taxonomy-Aware Catalog Integration Abstract? TACI: Taxonomy-Aware Catalog Integration.A fundamental data integration task faced by online commercial portals and commerce search engines is the integration of products coming from multiple providers to their product catalogs. In this scenario, the commercial portal has its own taxonomy (the ?master taxonomy?), while each data provider organizes its products…
A Novel Joint Data-Hiding and Compression Scheme Based on SMVQ and Image Inpainting Abstract?A Novel Joint Data-Hiding and Compression Scheme Based on SMVQ and Image Inpainting. In this paper, we propose a novel joint data-hiding and compression scheme for digital images using side match vector quantization (SMVQ) and image inpainting. The two functions of data…
0.7-V Three-Stage Class-AB CMOS Operational Transconductance Amplifier Abstract? A simple high-performance architecture for bulk-driven operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) is presented. The solution, suitable for operation under sub 1-V single supply, is made up of three gain stages and, as an additional feature, provides inherent class-AB behavior with accurate and robust standby current control. < final...
10T SRAM Using Half-VDD Precharge and Row-Wise Dynamically Powered Read Port for Low Switching Power and Ultralow RBL Leakage Abstract– We present, in this paper, a new 10T static random access memory cell having single ended decoupled read-bitline (RBL) with a 4T read port for low power operation and leakage reduction. The RBL is precharged…

A novel algorithm and architecture design for 18-band quasi-class-2 ANSI S1.11 1/3 octave ?lter bank. The proposed design has several advantages such as lower group delay,…
28-nm Latch-Type Sense Amplifier Modification for Coupling Suppression Abstract-With the development of modern semiconductor fabrication technology, the channel length of the CMOS device and the device pitch continually shrink accompanied by more and more severe process variation and signal coupling effect, respectively. In this paper, we explain how the coupling effect interferes with the action…
3-D Adaptive Sparsity Based Image Compression With Applications to Optical Coherence Tomography Abstract? We present a novel general-purpose compression method for tomographic images, termed 3D adaptive sparse representation based compression (3D-ASRC). We focus on applications of 3D-ASRC for the compression of ophthalmic 3D optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The 3D-ASRC algorithm exploits correlations among adjacent…
3-D Face Recognition Under Occlusion Using Masked Projection Abstract?With advances in sensor technology, the three-dimensional (3-D) face has become an emerging biometric modality, preferred especially in high security applications. However, dealing with occlusions covering the facial surface is a great challenge, which should be handled to enable applicability to fully automatic security systems. In this…
3D Brain Atlas Reconstruction Using Deformable Medical Image Registration: Application to Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery Abstract?In deep brain stimulation surgery the most important step is the correct location of the neurostimulator device. Here, the medical specialist needs to robustly locate the basal ganglia area (i.e. subthalamic nucleus) to implant the neurostimulator. 3D brain atlas reconstruction…
75 GBd InP-HBT MUX-DAC module for high-symbol-rate optical transmission Abstract? Owing to the spread of broadband applications, data traffic in optical communication networks is continuously increasing. High-symbol-rate optical transmission schemes with advanced multi-level modulation formats, such as M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), are now being investigated as to their suitability for future cost-effective 1 Tb/s-class…
