Hicham Guissi , Khadija Slaoui
Modern electronic systems increasingly operate across multiple voltage domains, necessitating robust and efficient level shifter (LS) circuits to ensure reliable inter-domain communication. In low-power digital applications, minimizing propagation delay and transition time is critical for achieving high-speed and energy-efficient operation. This work presents a high-performance level shifter optimized for integration within Li-ion battery charger systems. The proposed design achieves a substantial reduction in propagation delays from 0.15 to 0.09062 ns while preserving signal integrity. When integrated with a gate driver, the overall structure exhibits a propagation delay of 0.20468 ns and a transition time of 0.014 ns, marking a significant improvement from the previous 0.036 ns. Furthermore, the proposed circuit occupies only 0.00039 mm² of silicon area, representing a 92% reduction compared to prior implementations (0.05 mm²). The complete design was implemented using Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC) 130 nm complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor (CMOS) technology, with both schematic simulation and layout carried out in the Cadence Virtuoso design environment. These results underscore the potential of the proposed solution for compact and high-efficiency system-on-chip (SoC) battery management applications.

Cryptology refers to the discipline concerned with securing communication and data in transit by transforming it into an unintelligible form, thereby preventing interpretation by unauthorized entities. Cryptanalysis is the study and practice of analyzing cryptographic systems with the aim of uncovering their weaknesses, finding vulnerabilities and obtaining unauthorized access to encrypted data. A5/1 is a lightweight stream cipher used to protect GSM communications. There are two memoryless cryptanalysis techniques used for this cipher which are Golic’s Guess-and-determine attack and Zhang’s Near Collision attack. In this paper a new guessing technique called move guessing technique used to construct linear equation filter along with Golic’s guess and determine technique is studied. Two modifications in move guessing technique are proposed for recovery of internal states S0 and S1. Further, a novel algorithm is proposed to select the modification to get minimum time complexity for recovery of internal states S0 and S1. The proposed algorithm gives minimum time complexity of 229.3138 at t = 14 for recovery of S0 state and 243.246 for recovery of S1 at t = 22.

10.11591/ijece.v15i6.pp5193-5204
Veerappa Chikkagoudar , G. Indumathi
The rapid scaling of conventional complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor (CMOS) metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) led to significantly increasing power dissipation, delay, and short channel effects (SCEs). Fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) technology is a better alternative to MOSFETs with superior electrostatic control, low power, and reduced leakage current. FinFETs have been chosen for their efficiency in overcoming these issues. This work focuses on the design of high-threshold voltage fin field-effect transistor (Hvt-FinFET) 18 nm technology-based inverter with optimized parameters and implementing universal gates NAND and NOR in Cadence Virtuoso tool. These three gates are basic building blocks for any complex digital system design. The results demonstrate significant improvement in power and reduced propagation delay in comparison with conventional CMOS technology. The Hvt-FinFET inverter obtained power dissipation and delay reduction of 13.63% and 33.33%, respectively. Power and delay optimization of 29.10% and 11.8% have been obtained in the NAND gate and 31.28% and 29.08% in the NOR gate when compared to conventional CMOS circuits. The results demonstrate significant improvements in power savings, reduced propagation delay, and superior energy efficiency, validating the effectiveness of Hvt-FinFET technology for next-generation very large scale integration (VLSI) applications.

Accurate energy demand prediction is crucial for efficient grid management and resource optimization, particularly across multiple countries with varying consumption patterns. However, real-world energy demand data often contains outliers that can distort forecasting accuracy. This study evaluates the impact of five outlier detection techniques—Z-Score, density- based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN), isolation forest (IF), local outlier factor (LOF), and one-class support vector machine (SVM)—on the performance of three time-series forecasting models: long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, convolutional neural network (CNN) Autoencoders, and LSTM with attention mechanisms. The models are tested using energy demand data from four European countries— Germany, France, Spain, and Italy—derived from real-time consumption records. A comparative analysis based on root mean squared error (RMSE) demonstrates that incorporating outlier detection significantly enhances model robustness, reducing forecasting errors caused by anomalous data. The findings emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate outlier detection strategies to improve the accuracy and reliability of energy demand forecasting. This research provides valuable insights into the trade-offs involved in outlier removal, with implications for policy and operational practices in energy management.

Parabolic solar concentrators play a crucial role in harnessing solar energy by focusing sunlight onto a single focal point, enhancing efficiency in solar thermal applications. However, accurately determining the focal point remains a significant challenge, affecting energy efficiency, stability, and operational costs. This study presents a novel approach to determining the focal point of parabolic solar concentrators using two distinct geometric and mathematical methods. The first method applies standard parabolic equations to derive the focal point, while the second method introduces a geometric approach based on the properties of straight-line tangents and angular measurements. Experimental validation was conducted by comparing the proposed method against laser-based focal point determination. The results demonstrate that the proposed method enhances heat collection efficiency and stability, leading to improved energy output. The findings of this study contribute to optimizing solar concentrator designs, reducing energy losses, and promoting sustainable energy applications.

Before deploying algorithms in industrial settings, it is essential to validate them in virtual environments to anticipate real-world performance, identify potential limitations, and guide necessary optimizations. This study presents the development and integration of artificial intelligence algorithms for detecting labels and container formats of cleaning products using computer vision, enabling robotic manipulation via a UR5 arm. Label identification is performed using the speeded-up robust features (SURF) algorithm, ensuring robustness to scale and orientation changes. For container recognition, multiple methods were explored: edge detection using Sobel and Canny filters, Hopfield networks trained on filtered images, 2D cross-correlation, and finally, a you only look once (YOLO) deep learning model. Among these, the custom-trained YOLO detector provided the highest accuracy. For robotic control, smooth joint trajectories were computed using polynomial interpolation, allowing the UR5 robot to execute pick-and-place operations. The entire process was validated in the CoppeliaSim simulation environment, where the robot successfully identified, classified, and manipulated products, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed pipeline for future applications in semi-structured industrial contexts.

10.11591/ijece.v15i6.pp5411-5421
Bouchaib Aylaj , Said Nouh , Mostafa Belkasmi
Error-correcting codes are crucial to ensure data reliability in communication systems often affected by transmission noise. Building on previous successful applications of our heuristic method degenerate quantum simulated annealing (DQSA) to Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) and quadratic residue (QR) codes. This paper proposes two algorithms designed to address two coding problems for Goppa codes. DQSA-dmin computes the minimum distance (dmin) while DQSA-Dec, serves as a hard decoder optimized for additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. We validate DQSA-dmin comparing its computed minimum distances with theoretical estimates for algebraically constructed Goppa codes, showing accuracy and efficiency. DQSA-dmin further used to find the optimal Goppa codes that reach the lower bound of dmin for linear codes known in the literature and stored in Marcus Grassl's online database. Indeed, we discovered 12 Goppa codes reaching this lower bound. For DQSA-Dec, experimental results show that it obtains a bit error rate (BER) of 10-5 when SNR=7.5 for codes with lengths less than 65, which is very interesting for a hard decoder. Additionally, a comparison with the Paterson algebraic decoder specific to this code family shows that DQSA-Dec outperforms it with a 0.6 dB coding gain at BER=10-4. These findings highlight the effectiveness of DQSA-based algorithms in designing and decoding Goppa codes.

The power network faces several challenges as electricity usage rises and the frequency of partial and total grid disruptions is of great concern. This paper addresses the problem of voltage instability and high-power losses in transmission network, which threatens the stability of the power grid. The MATLAB R2023a/MATPOWER 5.0 is used to develop a model and analyze using the Newton-Raphson load flow method. The analysis reveals a marginal voltage violation at Bus 13 (below 0.95 p.u.). To enhance stability and efficiency, the network was reconfigured using a hybrid whale algorithm and particle swarm optimization (WAPSO) approach, incorporating new transmission lines (5-8 and 13-14) to improve connectivity and reduce congestion. The reconfiguration reduced active power losses by 29.5% (from 36.013 to 25.371 MW) and reactive power losses by 29.8% (from 301.30 to 211.59 MVAr). The system demonstrated first swing stability, with rotor angles remaining below π/2 (1.5669 rad maximum deviation) and fault clearance within the critical clearing time (0.2 s). Optimized exciter gains and a damping coefficient of 1.5 p.u. ensured effective oscillation suppression and stable generator voltages at 1.05 p.u. The hybrid WAPSO approach proved effective in optimizing voltage and rotor angle stability, enabling the network to meet a 24.086 p.u. load demand while enhancing overall grid reliability.

Stability issues in cyber-physical systems (CPS) arise from the challenging effects of nonlinear dynamics relation to multi-input, multi-output systems. This research proposed a robust control framework that combines Jacobian linearization, Lyapunov stability analysis, and linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control via linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The robust methodology does the following: it applies linearization on the dynamics of the CPS; it establishes the stability of the system using Lyapunov functions and LMIs; and it designs an LQR controller. The proposed framework was validated through a comparison between the behavior of a linearized and nonlinear model. The autonomous vehicle application showed: a settling time of 20 seconds; an overshoot of 3.8187%; and a steady-state error of 2.688×10⁻⁷. The proposed framework is robustly demonstrated and has applications to areas in automation and smart infrastructure. Future work includes optimizing the design of weighting matrices and developing adaptive control features.
