Design and construction of a servomechanism using a memory alloy linear actuator by Santiago Zuñiga, Diego Bravo, Carlos Rengifo

“…The expected application of this prototype is for the use of small charges that emulate the movement of the human being, being bio-inspired and activated by artificial muscles, their potential applications they will be in medical and humanoid robotics. Computer Aided Design (CAD) allows evaluating and validating the most convenient parameters for construction of servomechanism, experimental results validate allowed us to obtain the values of the range of motion ±20° and a maximum torque of 1.01 kg-cm exerted on the axis of rotation for the prototype.…”

Modified Cramer-Rao lower bound for symbol width estimation from a phase-shift-keying signal by DENG Zhen-miao, LIU Yu

“…The modified Cramer-Rao lower bound（MCRB） on symbol width estimation of a phase-shift-keying signal was derived.When calculating the integration of the square of dirac delta function δ（t ）, Parseval’s theorem was used to transform the computation from time-domain to frequency-domain.Then the closed-form analytical solution of MCRB for symbol width estimation was derived when the pulse shaping function was the rectangle pulse.However when the pulse shaping function was the raised cosine（RC） pulse, the MCRB is evaluated by numerical simulation.The results show that the MCRB of rectangle pulse shape is higher than that of RC pulse with the roll-off factor to be 0.5 and the dif-ference was about 1 dB.…”

Provably secure certificateless aggregate signature scheme in wireless roaming authentication by Zhi-yan XU, Li-bing WU, Li LI, De-biao HE

“…Certificateless aggregate signature (CLAS) schemes have been widely applied in resource-constrained wireless mobile networks,because they could not only realize batch validation but also solve the certificate management and key escrow problems.It was shown that a certificateless aggregate signature in an anonymous roaming authentication scheme was vulnerable to the signature forge attack.To address the issue,a new secure and efficient certificateless aggregate signature scheme was presented,which required no bilinear pairing operations.And then the security of the scheme under the ECDLP assumption in the random oracle model was proved.Finally the performance of proposed scheme was evaluated.Compared with the original scheme,the proposal is more secure and the total computational cost is greatly reduced .…”
