Magnets turn random snapping in soft metamaterials into repeatable sequences

Cutting patterns into elastic materials allows you to unfold those materials into new shapes, and researchers have now demonstrated the ability to control the sequence in which that unfolding happens ...

Design Approaches for Efficient Parallel Pseudo-Random Ternary Sequence Generation

Abstract: A pseudo-random ternary sequence (PRTS) generator is essential for high-speed serial interfaces, as three-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-3) is increasingly adopted in recent standards ...
