Observation of Interface/Near Interface Defects in 4H SiC MOSFETs With a New Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance Technique
We study 4H SiC MOSFETs with a new electrically detected magnetic resonance technique (EDMR) we call spin dependent charge pumping (SDCP). Our SDCP results demonstrate a tremendous improvement in sensitivity over other EDMR techniques. Additionally SDCP
Cryptography is often used in an information technology security environment to protect data that is sensitive, has a high value, or is vulnerable to unauthorized disclosure or undetected modification during transmission or while in storage. Cryptography

Symbiosis Between the TRECVid Benchmark and Video Libraries at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision
Audiovisual archives are investing in large-scale digitisation efforts of their analogue holdings and in parallel ingest an ever-increasing amount of born-digital files in their digital storage facilities. Digitisation opened up new access paradigms and
Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: Methods for Key Wrapping
This publication describes cryptographic methods that are approved for "key wrapping," i.e., the protection of the confidentiality and integrity of cryptographic keys. In addition to describing existing methods, this publication specifies two new
Over the last decade or so a group of us, while working at Bell Labs, have been able to develop a large number of silicon micromachines for a wide range of applications. In this article, which is part of a special volume to celebrate the career of
Twitter offers a phenomenal platform for the social sharing of information. We describe new resources that have been created in the context of the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) to support the academic study of Twitter as a real-time information source
Security Ontologies for Modeling Enterprise Level Risk Assessment
A unified formal knowledge model of information security domain is essential to support a risk management approach. IT Applications are increasingly exposed to a variety of information security threats. Often wrong decisions are made due to insufficient
A Raytracing Model for Wireless Propagation in Tunnels with Varying Cross Section
Spurred by the 2006 Miner Act, reliable two-way communications in mines has drawn the interest of network engineers in recent years. Critical to the design of these systems is an accurate channel propagation model. Given the elementary geometry seen in
