MTD3L - A Low Overhead Secure IC Design Methodology
With the increasing use of portable devices and the increasing need for security in these devices, side-channel attacks are an increasing threat. Traditional circuit design techniques leave otherwise secure systems vulnerable due to the characteristics of the circuits, rather than weaknesses in the security algorithms themselves. These characteristics, called side-channels, are exploitable because they can be measured and correlated with processed data, potentially giving an attacker insight into the device's secret data. Alternative design techniques such as dual-rail asynchronous designs are capable of minimizing these potential side-channels by decoupling them from the data being processed. However, these techniques are either expensive to implement compared to standard designs or leave exploitable imbalances in the dual-rail implementation itself. Multi-Threshold Dual-Spacer Dual-Rail Delay-Insensitive Logic (MTD³L). presented in this thesis, offers the security by balancing side-channels both in general and between the dual-rail signals themselves as well as a reduction in circuit overhead comparable to previous design techniques. Results show that the Advanced Encryption Standard cores designed using MTD³L exhibit similar security to previous secure techniques with less design overhead.

Visual field examination using a video projector: comparison with Humphrey perimeter
To present a method of visual field examination using a video projector. Also, we compare our results with those of a Humphrey perimeter, which is accepted as standard in automated perimetry.
Software implementing a full-threshold 4-2-step staircase algorithm for the central 30-2 of the visual field (76 points) has been developed and tested in nine eyes of seven patients using an Epson TW 700 video projector. The results were compared to those obtained from the same patients using the Humphrey perimeter.
High correlation between the video projector visual fields and those of the Humphrey perimeter was found. The point-to-point correlation coefficient ranged from 0.75 to 0.90, with P<0.0001 for each eye.
Visual field examination results using a video projector have high correlation with those of a Humphrey perimeter. The method is possibly suitable for clinical use.

Design for Portable Virtual Instrument with USB Interface
This paper introduces the design process of a new type of portable virtual oscilloscope and signal generator, including both the hardware and software design. The data collecting board centers around the new generation of highly integrated C8051F020 and the VB program developed. The USB communication mode has been applied between the data collecting board and computer. This virtual instrument integrates together the perfect function if signal generating, data collecting, real-time data curve display, data storage and playback, analysis afterwards, etc.

TAKING TECHNOLOGY IN HAND
Personal digital assistants are hand-held, battery-powered computers that can transform hand-written notes into lettered text. This technology has been helping many companies expedite and simplify their operations since its introduction in the market in 1994. The leader in this technology is the Apple Newton, which will reach its third generation upon the launching of its latest version (2.0) in Jan. 1996. The newest model weighs one pound and is 3 x 6 in. in size. Company officials claim that Newton 2.0 offers many technological improvements, including better handwriting recognition capability and stronger links to local and wide area telephone networks. Newton products are currently being used in such organizations as Monsanto Corp., Voice of America and Idaho Power and Light Co.

Ottawa Hospital boss urges staff to 'be bold ... go big'; Information technology systems at The Ottawa Hospital were on life support before Dale Potter signed on. The IT expert's revolutionary ideas have transformed the institution
Other recent technological changes include: n An Nav Canada inspired tracking system for surgical patients. n The mass integration of all hospital campus computer networks. n The automation of surgical tool distribution. According to hospital chief executive Dr. Jack Kitts, it all started with his chance meeting in 2007 with a Harvard University researcher at a health-care conference.

\"CytoCore's SoftPAP cervical cell collector is a significant advance in women's health,\" says Robert McCullough, Jr., CytoCore's CEO. \"Each year, over 2 million American women are told that their Pap test was negative when, in fact, they have early stage cervical cancer. These false negatives are frequently caused by an inadequate or incomplete sample of cervical cells. SoftPAP collects complete specimens from the cervical canal, the cervical surface and the transition zone simultaneously. There is evidence that the use of SoftPAP significantly reduces the rate of false negative Pap tests leading to earlier treatment of cervical cancer.\" \"Studies also demonstrate that the most common adverse events that occur during the collection of the specimen are virtually eliminated with the SoftPAP,\" according to Dr. Richard Domanik, President and COO. \"Studies involving more than 400 cervical cell collections show a 95% reduction in bleeding and spotting which are the most frequently reported adverse events associated with collection of specimens for Pap testing.\" \"We are thrilled to be partnering with Morgan & Sampson USA as part of our national rollout strategy. They are undoubtedly one of the best and most respected consumer brand product brokers in the country,\" said Ted Farnsworth, Founder and CEO of Purple Beverage Company. \"Along with their expertise in representing well-known brands that have been around for years, they have also been instrumental in launching new brands to the marketplace that soon become household names - a fact that excites us greatly. Although Purple has been available in select stores nationwide since the product launched in 2007, our goal has always been to bring this all- natural, healthy and fun beverage to consumers everywhere. Teaming with M&S USA means that Purple will now be as close to many consumers as the shelves of their neighborhood grocery store.\"
