Transcribed by Charlene Tonai Din.This oral history interview was conducted for the MIS Oral History Project by the Military Intelligence Service Association of Northern California, Inc. (MISNORCAL). This three-part project includes the MIS Biography Project and MIS Biographical Questionnaires; the MIS Oral History Project, which consists of audio-only oral history interviews conducted by the MIS Oral History Committee; and video interviews conducted by Sheryl Nakahara, Marsha Tagami, and Calvin Roberts. The project was originally created to capture the stories of the MIS veterans. Some of the footage was used in the documentary "Uncommon Courage" by gayle k. yamada.

Element-based lattice reduction aided K-Best detector for large-scale MIMO systems
No full textRecently, large-scale Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems have caught great attention for increasing the system throughput as well as improving the system performance. The main challenge in the design of these MIMO systems is the detection techniques used at the receiver. Lattice Reduction (LR) techniques have shown good potential in MIMO decoding due to their good performance and low complexity compared to Maximum Likelihood (ML) detector. The Lenstra, Lanstra, and Lovasz (LLL) LR algorithm has been employed for decoding while combined with linear detectors such as ZF as well as with K-Best detection. However, the LLL-aided detectors have shown limited performance, when increasing the number of antennas at the transmitter and receiver. Therefore, in this paper we propose to use the so-called Element-based Lattice Reduction (ELR) combined with K-Best detector for the sake of attaining a better BER performance and lower complexity than the LLL-aided detection. Explicitly, the ELR-aided detectors are capable of attaining a 2 dB performance improvement at BER of 10-5 compared to the LLL-aided detectors when considering a MIMO system with 200 transmit and receive antennas. Furthermore, for the same MIMO configuration, the ELR basis update requires nearly an order of magnitude reduction in the number of arithmetic operations compared to the LLL algorithm

Le intercettazioni effettuate mediante captatore informatico
No full textCon la sentenza 31604/20, la Quinta Sezione della Suprema Corte si occupa della questione dell'inconsapevole auto-installazione da parte dell'indagato del software noto come Captatore Informatico. La Corte di Cassazione reputa tale modalità investigativa compatibile con il divieto di lesione della libertà di autodeterminazione nell'assunzione della prova, sancito all'art. 188 c.p.p. in tema di libertà morale. L'autore propone alcune osservazioni.With the ruling number 31604/20, the Fifth Section on the Supreme Court addresses the issue of the suspect unconsciously self-installing the Trojan virus software. The Italian Court of Cassation ruled that said operation does not violate the prohibition of the use of coercion in the obtaining of an evidence, stated in art. 188 c.p.p, regarding moral freedom. The author makes some observations
Focus sulla riforma Cartabia
No full textCon la Riforma Cartabia lo Stato italiano apporta importanti cambiamenti ai codici penale e di procedura penale, fra le altre cose modificando il regime della prescrizione e cercando, finalmente, di mettersi in regola con le richieste dell’Unione Europea e della Corte di Strasburgo di porre un argine alla nota problematica delle eccessive lungaggini processuali con l’introduzione di una nuova causa di improcedibilità. L’autore illustra brevemente le modifiche apportate e analizza l’impatto della novella.Italy, with the recent bill passed by the parliament and called Riforma Cartabia, makes important changes to the Criminal Code and to the Criminal Proceedings Code, modifying the legal regime of prescription and aiming to implement the requests from the EU and the ECHR to finally put an end to the tragically well-known problem of the length of Italian proceedings, through the prevision of new grounds for discontinuing criminal proceedings. The author briefly explains the new discipline and makes some considerations about the new law
Using Triple-Space Computing for communication and coordination in Semantic Grid
No full textTriple Space Computing is a new communication and coordination paradigm for Semantic Web Services. It has been achieved by extending Tuple Space Computing to support RDF as Triple Space Computing and then use it for communication in Semantic Web Services. Similarly we want to use the emerging Triple Space Computing to enhance the communication of computation and information services of the Semantic Grid. This paper briefly describes how Triple Space Computing can be used for Semantic Web technologies, Web Services, Semantic Web Services and eventually the Semantic Grid
Contrasting Photoelectrochemical Behaviour Of Two Isomeric Supramolecular Dyes Based On Meso-tetra(pyridyl)porphyrin Incorporating Four (μ3-oxo)- Triruthenium(iii) Clusters
No full textA saddle shaped tetracluster porphyrin species containing four [Ru 3O(OAc)6(py)2]+ clusters coordinated to the N-pyridyl atoms of 5,10,15,20-tetra(3-pyridyl)porphyrin, H 2(3-TCPyP), has been investigated in comparison with the planar tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin analogue H2(4-TCPyP). The steric effects from the bulky peripheral complexes play a critical role in the H 2(3-TCPyP) species, determining a non-planar configuration around the porphyrin centre and precluding any significant π-electronic coupling, in contrast with the less hindered H2(4-TCPyP) species. Both systems exhibit a photoelectrochemical response in the presence of nanocrystalline TiO2 films, involving the porphyrin excitation around 450 nm. However, only in the H2(4-TCPyP) case do the cluster moieties also contribute to the photoinduced electron injection process at 670 nm, reflecting the relevance of the electronic coupling between the porphyrin centre and the peripheral complexes. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.32711671174Araki, K., Toma, H.E., Supramolecular porphyrins as electrocatalysts, in (2006) N-4 Macrocyclic Metal Complexes, Ed., , J.

Energy-efficient hardware implementation of LR-aided K-Best MIMO decoder for 5G networks
No full textEnergy efficiency is a primary design goal for future green wireless communication technologies. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) schemes have been proposed in literature to improve the throughput of communication systems, they are expected to play a prominent role in the upcoming 5th generation (5G) standard. This paper presents a novel high efficiency MIMO decoder based on the K-Best algorithm with lattice reduction. We have designed a novel hardware architecture for this decoder, which was implemented using 32nm standard CMOS technology. Our results show that the proposed decoder can achieve on average a four-fold reduction in the power costs compared to recently published designs for 5G networks. The throughput of the design is 506 Mbits/sec, which is comparable to existing designs
