A new oracle protocol for TLS 1.3 is introduced, which reaches new scales in selectively verifying the provenance of confidential data and enables new boundaries to verify the web provenance of confidential documents.

A simple oscillatory term is introduced to the DM model and four hyperchaotic maps are constructed, which demonstrate that the outputs of all four maps, as well as the pseudorandom numbers generated by the PRNG, exhibit high randomness.

This work presents a variant of RSA blind signatures with public metadata where issuers may only generate signatures that verify for a certain choice of public metadata that is a modification of a scheme by Abe and Fujisaki.

This work presents two novel DSSE schemes with conjunctive queries that achieve both forward and backward privacy and presents two new levels of backward privacy, named Type-O and Type-O, which give a more comprehensive understanding of the leakages of conjunctive queries in the OXT framework.

In silicon carbide (SiC)-based adjustable speed drives, the fast-switching voltage pulses cause power cables to act like transmission lines, leading to severe overvoltage at motor terminals. This letter proposes an active <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$dv/dt$</tex-math></inline-formula> filter to mitigate the motor terminal overvoltage due to the reflected wave phenomenon in SiC-based motor drive systems. The active <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$dv/dt$</tex-math></inline-formula> filter consists of a T-type inverter and an inductor and capacitor (LC) passive filter, ...

Mastic is introduced, a protocol for the following functionality: each of a large number of clients holds an input and its corresponding weight and this functionality makes two new classes of applications possible, a natural generalization of heavy hitters the authors call weighted heavy-hitters and an enhancement of Prio-style metrics they call attribute-based metrics.

A reconfigurable WPT-based multiport hybrid charging approach to achieve UAV’s cell string balancing under multiple states by converging one Tx port, one Rx bidirectional port, and two voltage-balance (Vx) driving ports, which achieves cell balancing during charging, discharging, and standing conditions.

This article proposes a series of high-step-up interleaved dc–dc converters utilizing coupled inductors and quadratic voltage gains. The first proposed converter is a modified version of the Dickson-based converter, which offers a higher voltage gain compared to the modified Dickson converter while maintaining common ground. The second proposed converter uses an additional diode to achieve a higher voltage gain than the first proposed converter. The third proposed converter combines the Dickson and modified Dickson converters to address the lack of common ground in the modified Dickson convert...

A detailed examination of AI's role in breast cancer diagnosis through citation analysis is provided, helping to categorize the key areas that attract academic attention and includes a thematic analysis to identify the specific research topics within each category.

This article presents an adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) with double noise for active vibration isolation (AVIS) system. Due to the time-varying vibration input and unknown sensor noise, it is difficult to obtain the process noise covariance matrix and the measurement noise covariance matrix. The imprecise noise covariance matrixes may result in Kalman filter (KF) divergence to further reduce the performance of the AVIS. Consequently, to achieve the time-varying process noise covariance matrix estimate, the internal forgetting factor of maximum likelihood estimation is reconstructed. The recursio...

To define the social and ethical responsibilities of nursing and explain the implications of humane care, a model is proposed that includes ten factors of care that include the practice of kindness and equanimity, support for deep beliefs, the cultivation of spiritual practices, the development of authentic caring relationships, and the expression of feelings.

Bidirectional dc–dc converters have found wide applications in renewable energy generation systems, residential energy storage systems, and electric vehicles. The four-switch buck-boost (FSBB) converter features low voltage stress on power switches, positive output, and bidirectional power transfer. In this article, the combined pulse width modulation (PWM) and phase-shift control is adopted for the FSBB converter to realize zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) for all the power switches in both forward and reverse power transfer operation. Then, the control methods for achieving smooth reversal of po...

GeSn waveguide photodetectors (WGPDs) that function in the 2-µm band have been considered potentially competitive candidates for cryogenic silicon photonics to enable various emerging applications such as quantum sensing and quantum computing. Herein, we present a high-performance GeSn rib WGPD that can function within the 2-µm spectral range and its temperature-dependent characteristics. The proposed detectors feature a GeSn active layer with 4.9% Sn which redshifts the cutoff wavelength to cover the 2-µm band. In addition, the optical confinement factor was enhanced by growing a thick GeSn a...

Scaling a large crawling robot to the centimeter-level size is a major technical challenge, which mainly includes the research on mechanical structure design, independent battery life, maneuverability, and perception. For most miniature crawling robots, it is difficult to synchronously balance the aspects of simple structure, good maneuverability, and visual perception. Aiming at such problems, this article designs a composite-cam-driven miniature hexapod crawling robot, named NKhex, with the abilities of visual perception and target tracking. The size of the microrobot is centimeter-level, an...
