The main purpose of this project is to design an inverter that will enable the inversion of a DC power source, supplied by Photovoltaic (PV) Cells, to an AC power source that will be either used to supply a load or connected directly to the utility grid. The benefit of this project is to give access to an everlasting and pollution free source of energy. The future is looking towards alternative power sources all of which will need to be regulated in one form or another. To make this possible, a highly efficient low cost product will have to be designed. Among all the different converter designs only a few are capable of providing high power with high efficiency. This will be tested experimentally, first by computer simulation, and then in the laboratory Implementation.

The iPod Nano has been through seven different iterations since its introduction in 2006. Perhaps even more so than with the much-heralded iPhone and iPad, the Nano is Apple's favorite device to experiment with: larger capacities, different screens, complete redesign - the Nano has been a lot of different things over the years. But this seventh generation is something else entirely - a multi-touch powerhouse that features pretty much everything you'd ever want in an MP3 player, and a few things you didn't even know you'd need. This guide will take you through the ins and outs of the iPod Nano - from working with iTunes to using the built-in pedometer. We'll show you everything you need to know, saving the fluff for people who have time to waste. Ready? Let's do this

This book presents the detailed design and implementation of an FPGA-based image and video co- processor. Central to this environment is a hierarchical library of efficient hardware architectures for image and video applications, and a Prolog-based hardware description notation called HIDE. The environment also includes a high level generator which takes image processing high level algorithm descriptions based on the abstractions of image algebra and translates automatically into a HIDE hardware description. The latter is then automatically translated into low level FPGA hardware in EDIF netlist format. Central to the satisfaction of the dual requirement of high level design and low level hardware efficiency is the novel concept of hardware skeletons, which act as a bridge between the two levels. These are reusable architectural frameworks, which can take function blocks and possibly other skeletons as parameters while encapsulating all of the low level hardware dependent optimisations. This is illustrated in this book through a real hardware implementation on a commercial FPGA board.

Embedded Systems are ubiquitous, used in various applications, ranging from low-end electronic appliances to high-end rockets. Security on such systems is a major concern where any useful insight gained by the adversary is harmful. Side Channel Attacks (SCAs) are performed by observing properties such as power usage, processing time and electro magnetic(EM) emissions, to correlate these external manifestations with internal computations. These properties are used to obtain critical information, such as a secret key of a secure application. Power analysis has been the most effective technique to extract secret keys during the execution of cryptographic algorithms using SCAs. This book elaborates on power analysis based side channel attacks detailing all the common attacks and the countermeasures proposed in the past. It also presents novel processor designs to combat against such attacks.

Only recently has the possibility of a universal memory, a fast random access memory that retains its state during complete power-down, turned into a realizable opportunity. Such a memory can eliminate static power, improve system reliability in the face of power interruption, and eliminate the need for a separate FLASH memory module, reducing system component count. One candidate in the race for a universal memory is magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM). In the development of MRAM, design challenges related to isolating memory elements, obtaining a compatible operating point with CMOS technology, and sensing data reliably have emerged. Therefore, there still exists a barrier to achieving the cost and performance characteristics of traditional volatile solid state memories---SRAM and DRAM. In this work, a 4kb MRAM array is designed to evaluate the feasibility of a promising new form of MRAM based on the phenomenon of spin torque transfer switching. The design of the test site and measurement setup is discussed, showing how to explore a multidimensional parameter space of operating conditions to obtain a viable design point for the next generation of MRAM technology.

Hybridization using different soft computing tools has been explored for efficient data mining, clust- ering, and classification. An evolutionary-rough feature selection algorithm has been developed for feature selection and classi- fication of gene expre- ssion patterns. Next A detailed clustering algorithm is developed by integrating the advantage of both rough and fuzzy set theories. The remaining three chapters are devoted for biclustering problem. The whole work of this book is divided into the follow- ing: i) Mining important features from high dimen- sional gene datasets; ii) Biclustering or local stru- cture determination in gene expression data using soft tools; iii) Collaborative clustering for global structure determination in large data; iv) Covering various machine learning and bioinformatics applica- tions using soft computing; and v) A special chapter is written for designing a new paradigm for optimi- zation. The book focuses on some applications of the newly developed soft computing based methodologies for machine learning, optimization, and bioinformatic Problems. The book covers how to design a hybrid system for real life problem solving.

Stereo vision is one of the most effective methods used in the field of machine visionary because of its high measurement accuracy compared to other techniques. This mimics the biological vision system where streams of image pairs are captured by the human eyes and processed by the brain in order to reconstruct a 3D realization of the surrounding environment. This method is based on matching the corresponding points in two images in order to generate 3D depth maps of the environment scenes. Applying stereo matching in computer hardware, however, is challenging because it is computationally expensive and requires real-time processing of high resolution images; as the case in autonomous vehicles. This book outlines a new proposed method to rectify high resolution images in real-time based on high speed data streaming protocol, which is implemented on FPGA. This method is still under research and development by Dr. John Morris and his research group in UoA for further refinement.

A variety of VLSI design simulation software packages are available. These software packages are based on Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Electrical Design Automation (EDA) tools. These software packages provide the design, functional simulation, physical layout and design testing before a chip can be manufactured. The objective of this book is to develop a VLSI design simulation software that has familiar and easier user interface and as good as other leading software packages but less expensive. We compared the various features of VLSI simulation software offered by the leading software packages in the industry. This effort is quite novel. Microsoft Excel has capability of performing arithmetic and logical calculations and it has a power of logical decision making. We started with very simple tasks using Microsoft Excel's built in tools (objects) such as charts and graphs, Auto-Shapes, spreadsheet interface and advanced tools like macros and VBA. VBA (Visual Basic for Application), a programming language based on Visual Basic, makes Microsoft Excel a powerful candidate for using it as a tool for VLSI Design simulation.

Neural networks have a proven ability to learn complex data sets, but suffer from the amount of processing time required for large based networks. FPGAs, which have become commonplace since their inception, offer the academic community a way of achieving real-time computation due to their parallel nature. Unfortunately, floating-point neural networks require large amounts of gate space, which in turn results in having to utilise an expensive FPGA. Fractional FPGA Neural Networks explores an alternative numeric system, where integer based fractions are used in the computations, rather than floating point. The book focuses on a number of issues and solutions with such a method, including modified training mechanisms. Finally, a case study of emotion recognition is explored. This book should be especially useful to academics seeking real-time computation networks, or even looking at alternative ideas for neural network design. Professionals in industry, exploring a practical solution to their data learning issues may also find the subject appealing, along with a wider community interested in researching into neural networks.

Today's computer systems are based on control-flow model of computation which is beset with limitations when exploiting parallelism. Data-flow model of computation, though parallel in nature, is plagued with its own bottlenecks. This book provides a window into an alternative model of computation called associative dataflow which is expected to usher in a new era of computing in the years to come. The book describes the associative dataflow model in comparison with the control-flow and data- flow models of today and then presents design of a processor which implements this model in hardware. The design has been simulated and prototyped using commercially available software tools and shows considerable improvement in performance compared to currently existing dataflow machines. It is hoped that this book will kindle renewed interest among graduate computer science and engineering students, practicing engineers, and computer architects to propose, improve, and develop newer models of computation so as to reap maximum advantage from the recent advances in the integrated circuit technology.

As focus in modern computer games shifts from purely realistic rendering to a more realistic environment for the user, interactive physical simulation of a broad range of objects - demanding a believable appearance, rather than physical correctness - becomes increasingly important. Traditionally physically based simulation is done on the CPU, however the pace of innovation in graphics hardware is staggering and continues to outpace processor development. In addition, the programmable rendering pipeline makes graphics hardware capable of doing much more than simply rendering a scene. This book combines both aspects by presenting an approach of performing physically based modelling solely on graphics hardware by using the concept of Memory Objects. The algorithms presented in this work allow for the simulation of cloth, rigid and soft bodies. The main aspects of physically based modelling discussed in this book are: verlet integration, containing shape, collision detection and collision response.
