Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is considered as a key cryptographic tool in building a secure cloud computing environment since it allows computing arbitrary functions directly on encrypted data. However, existing FHE implementations remain impractical due to very high time and resource costs. These costs are essentially due to the computationally intensive modular polynomial multiplication. In…

This ensures that the comparison is directly between the chip technologies without any scope for discrepancies arising…

The world’s pollution rates have been increasing exponentially due to the many reckless lifestyle practices of human beings as well as their choices of contaminating power sources. Eventually, this lead to a worldwide awareness on the risks of those power sources, and in turn, a movement towards the exploration and deployment of several green technologies…

In this paper, stabilization of uncertain systems was established using zonotopic sets. The obtained state feedback control laws are computed by an off-line approach reducing computational burdens. The resolution of a robust model predictive control (MPC) allows computing a sequence of state feedback control laws corresponding to a sequence of zonotopic invariant sets. The implemented…

Internet of things (IoT) is an innovative technology subject to all kind of imaginary and science fictional solutions. Dreams and speculations are still possible about it. A technology combining real life objects and virtual life (Internet) is indeed a fertile pitch of fantasy and original ideas. However, IoT has in practice to face several challenges…

Constant Envelope Discrete Cosine Transform based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CE-DCT-OFDM) system with M-ary Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) mapper is considered. In the system phase modulation is used to achieve constant envelope signals that have 0 dB Peak-to-Average-Power Ratio (PAPR). Transmission of such signals permit high power amplifiers in the system to operate with maximum…

Log-periodic antennas have high electrical characteristics over a wide frequency range. The large length of the antennas is their significant disadvantage caused by the fact that each active region consisting of several radiators operates in a narrow frequency range. To extend this range, it is proposed to use radiators with concentrated capacitive loads, providing in-phase…

This paper addresses the motion planning problem of Reeds-Shepp-type car-like mobile robots moving among static and dynamic obstacles. If the positions and the velocity vectors of the obstacles are known or well estimated, the Velocity Obstacles (VO) method and its non-linear version (NLVO) can be used to plan a collision-free trajectory for a robot in…
