With the spread of inverters, the attention of designers naturally turned to 5-phase motors, due to their advantageous properties. In this regard, perhaps the most important issue in the design of such machines is the selection of the correct rotor slot number. Many articles have been published on multiphase machines, however, only few of them…

Skewing of the rotor slot of a squirrel-cage induction machine has been commonly used since the beginning. However, little guidance is given regarding the principle of the working effect of the method, but even in such rare cases, the explanation does not cover the true physical reality. Consequently no formula exists for calculation of the…

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…
