SleepWalk: Exploiting Context Switching and Residual Power for Physical Side-Channel Attacks
Context switching is utilized by operating systems to change the execution context between application programs. It involves saving and restoring the states of multiple registers and performing a pipeline flush to remove any pre-fetched instructions, leading to a higher instantaneous power consumption compared to typical program execution. In this paper, we introduce a physical power side-channel leakage source that exploits the power spike observed during a context switch, triggered by the inb…

Modification of a Numerical Method Using FIR Filters in a Time-dependent SIR Model for COVID-19
Authors Yi-Cheng Chen, Ping-En Lu, Cheng-Shang Chang, and Tzu-Hsuan Liu use the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) linear system filtering method to track and predict the number of people infected and recovered from COVID-19, in a pandemic context in which there was still no vaccine and the only way to avoid contagion was isolation. To estimate the coefficients of these FIR filters, Chen et al. used machine learning methods through a classical optimization problem with regularization (ridge regressi…

HyReC: Exploring Hybrid-based Retriever for Chinese
Hybrid-based retrieval methods, which unify dense-vector and lexicon-based retrieval, have garnered considerable attention in the industry due to performance enhancement. However, despite their promising results, the application of these hybrid paradigms in Chinese retrieval contexts has remained largely underexplored. In this paper, we introduce HyReC, an innovative end-to-end optimization method tailored specifically for hybrid-based retrieval in Chinese. HyReC enhances performance by integra…

DissolvPCB: Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Electronics with Liquid Metal Conductors and PVA Substrates
We introduce DissolvPCB, an electronic prototyping technique for fabricating fully recyclable printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) using affordable FDM 3D printing, with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a water-soluble substrate and eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) as the conductive material. When obsolete, the PCBA can be easily recycled by immersing it in water: the PVA dissolves, the EGaIn re-forms into a liquid metal bead, and the electronic components are recovered. These materials can then b…

Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin along with other members of Congress are asking a federal court to let them in

— to facilities where the Trump administration is detaining immigrants facing deportation
so they can conduct lawful oversight,
according to a complaint filed Wednesday.
Raskin and 11 other Democratic members of Congress filed the lawsuit Wednesday in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
