Reflections about the sameness of human rights online and offline by Crnić-Grotić Vesna, Maslo-Čerkić Šejla, Milašiūtė Vygantė, Pajuste Tiina, Susi Mart

“…The comparative method analyzes changes in the meaning and scope of four human rights when transposed from the nondigital to the digital domain: the right to education, nondiscrimination, freedom of expression, and privacy (emphasizing the right to be forgotten). …”

A New High-Performance Digital FM Modulator and Demodulator for Software-Defined Radio and Its FPGA Implementation by Indranil Hatai, Indrajit Chakrabarti

“…The FM modulator uses pipelined version of the DDFS to support the up conversion in the digital domain. The proposed FM modulator and demodulator has been implemented and tested using XC2VP30-7ff896 FPGA as a target device and can operate at a maximum frequency of 334.5 MHz and 131 MHz involving around 1.93 K and 6.4 K equivalent gates for FM modulator and FM demodulator respectively. …”

SAR-Assisted Energy-Efficient Hybrid ADCs by Kent Edrian Lozada, Dong-Jin Chang, Dong-Ryeol Oh, Min-Jae Seo, Seung-Tak Ryu

“…This article introduces several energy-efficient hybrid ADC architectures that incorporate SAR ADCs as their sub blocks, including the following: SAR-assisted subranging SAR, which saves DAC switching power and can detect skew errors for time-interleaved ADCs; SAR-flash hybrid for energy-efficient high-speed conversion; SAR-assisted dual-residue pipelined ADC, which eliminates the stringent requirement for residue gain accuracy; and SAR-assisted delta–sigma modulator (DSM) with digital-domain noise coupling, which reduces the number of required analog integrators.…”

Rotting Sounds . Artistic Research Practice in Experimental Sound Art by Thomas Grill, Till Bovermann, Almut Schilling

“…The majority of today’s media is produced in the digital domain. Although digital data are adorned by a myth of perfection, everyday experience does provide evidence for the existence of degradation and, ultimately, data loss in various forms. …”

DR Loss-Free Dithering-Based Digital Background Linearity Calibration for SAR-Assisted Multi-Stage ADCs With Digital Input-Interference Cancellation by Lizhen Zhang, Bo Gao, Kun-Woo Park, Kent Edrian Lozada, Raymond Mabilangan, Hyeongjin Kim, Jianhui Wu, Seung-Tak Ryu

“…We also describe a capacitor-scanning dither method to accomplish simultaneous and independent identification of multiple bit weights. In addition, a digital-domain input-interference cancellation (IIC) technique is proposed to accelerate the convergence speed of the correlation-based calibration. …”
