True Random Number Generators (TRNG) find applications in various fields, especially hardware security. We suggest a TRNG that exploits the intrinsic static stochasticity of Resistive Switching Random Access Memories (ReRAMs) to generate random bits. Other suggested designs use stochasticity in the switching mechanism, which requires high precision over input voltage and time. In the proposed…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) prove to be susceptible to synthetically generated samples, so-called adversarial examples. Such adversarial examples aim at generating misclassifications by specifically optimizing input data for a matching perturbation. With the increasing use of deep learning on embedded devices and the resulting use of quantization techniques to compress deep neural networks, it is…

Still, the benefits, such as operational efficiency, cost reduction, quality improvement, and innovative culture, make digitalization…

Gas leakage caused by various causes poses significant risks to public safety. To address this problem, an intelligent model is proposed for the accurate monitoring of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution based on the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Business Intelli- gence (BI) technologies. Through the use of sensors and actuators, it seeks…

The Mind Monitoring System (MIMOSYS) is a novel voice analysis technique for mental health assessment that has been validated in some languages; however, no research has been conducted on the Vietnamese yet. This study aimed to examine the ability of the Vitality score extracted from the MIMOSYS system to assess depression status based on the…

In this paper, we will discuss two algorithms to solve the so-called package design problem, by which a set of queries (referred to as a query log) is represented by a collection of bit strings with each indicating the favourite activities or items of customers. For such a query log, we are required to design…

This study addresses the need for improved prognostics in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) that incorporate electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters, with a focus on aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which are critical for the reliability of these systems. The primary aim is to develop a robust model-based approach that can accurately predict the degradation and operational lifetime of…

In healthcare, accurate communication is critical, and medical coding, especially coding using the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) standards, plays a vital role in achieving this accuracy. Traditionally, ICD coding has been a time-consuming manual process performed by trained professionals, involving the assignment of codes to patient records, such as doctor’s notes. In this paper,…

This paper presents a method for automatic 3D segmentation of brain tumors in MRI using optical scanning holography. Automatic segmentation of tumors from 2D slices (coronal, sagittal and axial) enables efficient 3D reconstruction of the region of interest, eliminating the human errors of manual methods. The method uses enhanced optical scanning holography with a cylindrical…
