Low-power high-performance SAR ADC with redundancy and digital error-correction by Sharma, Sunny

“…The implementation of the CCM-FRV switching scheme requires no special arithmetic units or additional hardware overheads to compute the DAC switching pattern, thus eliminating any speed bottlenecks due to logic delay. The fifth contribution introduces a low-energy and chip-area-efficient switching scheme for a 1.5-bit/cycle SAR ADC with digital error-correction. …”

Dynamic games for resource allocation in metaverse services and architectures by Han, Yue

“…In particular, the advanced computation method can be considered a service provided by edge infrastructure providers (EIPs) that offer edge computing services to IoT devices so as to avoid a long transmission delay in the backhaul. Since different VSPs may have different synchronization preferences for their digital replicas based on their service types, an effective synchronization solution should consider various agents, i.e., IoT devices, EIPs, and VSPs. …”

Scheduling and resource optimization in rail operations : models and algorithms by Birhade, Mahendra Pandharinath

“…While freight trains generate significantly higher revenue as compared to passenger trains, non-stop and express trains are given higher priority in IR due to the political sensitivity of delay in passenger services. Therefore, planning for overtaking of multiple trains without negative impact on throughput time is crucial for efficient scheduling of freight trains on these corridors dominated by passenger trains. …”
