Counters are specialized registers and is considered as essential building blocks for a variety of circuit operations such as programmable frequency dividers, shifters, code generators, memory select management, and various arithmetic operations. Since many applications are comprised of these fundamental operations, much research focuses on efficient counter architecture design. This paper proposes an 8-bit high speed parallel counter architecture. The counter consists of two main sections- the counting section and the state Anticipation Module.The total equivalent gate count for our proposed counter is 164 whereas the existing counter architecture consumes 266.The delay of the proposed counter architecture is 3.968ns and that of existing counter is 4.952ns. The Power consumption is 28.80mW for our proposed counter and 29.24mW for the existing one.
Two innovative high-speed low power parallel 8-bit counter architectures are proposed. Then, High speed 8-bit frequency divider circuits using the proposed architectures are realized. The proposed parallel counter architectures consist of two sections – The Counting Path and the State Excitation Module. The counting path consists of three counting modules in which the first module (basic module) generates future states for the two remaining counting modules. The State Excitation Module decodes the count states of the basic module and carries this decoding over clock cycles through pipelined DFF to trigger the subsequent counting modules. The existing 8-bit parallel counter architecture [1] consumed a total transistor count of 442 whereas the proposed parallel counters consumed only 274 transistors. The power dissipation of the existing parallel counter architecture and the proposed parallel counter architecture were 4.21mW (PINT) and 3.60mW (PINT) respectively at 250MHz. The worst case delay observed for the 8-bit counter using existing parallel counter architecture [1] and the proposed parallel counter architectures were 7.481ns, 6.737ns and 6.677ns respectively using Altera Quartus II. A reduction in area (transistor count) by 27.45% and a reduction in power dissipation by 16.28% are achieved for the frequency dividers using proposed counter architectures. Also a reduction in delay by 10.75% and 7.62% is achieved for the 8-bit frequency divider circuits using proposed counter methods I & II respectively.

MODIFIED DIRECT TORQUE CONTROL FOR BLDC MOTOR DRIVESijctcm
In this paper, a new adaptive reference based approach to direct torque control (DTC) method has been
proposed for brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drives. Conventional DTC method uses two main
reference parameters as: flux and torque. A main difference from the conventional method of it was that
only one reference parameter (speed) was used to control the BLDC motor and the second control
parameter (flux) was obtained from speed error through the proposed control algorithm. Thus, the DTC
performance has been especially improved on systems which need variable speed and torque during
operation, like electric vehicles. The dynamic models of the BLDC and the DTC method have been created
on Matlab/Simulink. The proposed method has been confirmed and verified by the dynamic simulations on
different working conditions. The simulation studies showed that the proposed method reduced remarkably
the speed and the torque ripples when compared the conventional DTC method. Moreover, the proposed
method has also very simple structure to apply the conventional DTC and its extra computational load to
the controller is almost zero.

OPTIMAL TORQUE RIPPLE CONTROL OF ASYNCHRONOUS DRIVE USING INTELLIGENT CONTROL...elelijjournal
The dynamic performance of an asynchronous machine when operated with cascaded Voltage Source Inverter using Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique is presented in this paper. A classical model of Induction Motor Drive based on Direct Torque Control (DTC) method is considered which displays
appreciable run-time operation with very simple hysteresis control scheme. Direct control of the torque and flux variables is achieved by choosing suitable inverter voltage space vector from a lookup table. Under varying torque conditions the performance of the drive system is verified using MATLAB/Simulink software tool. The ripple content in the torque parameter is significant when traditional PI controller and Fuzzy approach are configured in the proposed system. Finally, by replacing the PI-Fuzzy controller with Hybrid Controller the torque ripple minimization can be achieved during no-load and loaded conditions.

Assessing school children’ ICT literacy skill remains a problem. Children are different from adults in the way they use technology. For that reason, commonly used evaluation methods such as questionnaires and observations are not able to potray the competency level acquired by these children. This paper explores the possibility of using suitable tracing tool for capturing computing activities of school children. In this pilot study, nine school children who are e-book users have been selected. The log file produced by the tracing tool was then used to identify the patterns of ICT competency level among these e-book users. The results show the benefit of using the RateSkill as a computerized and automated ICT literacy skill assessment tool.

Level set methods are a popular way to solve the image segmentation problem. The solution contour is found by solving an optimization problem where a cost functional is minimized. The purpose of this paper is the level set approach to simultaneous tissue segmentation and bias correction of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. A modified level set approach to joint segmentation and bias correction of images with intensity in homogeneity. A sliding window is used to transform the gradient intensity domain to another domain, where the distribution overlap between different tissues is significantly suppressed. Tissue segmentation and bias correction are simultaneously achieved via a multiphase level set evolution process. The proposed methods are very robust to initialization, and are directly compatible with any type of level set implementation. Experiments on images of various modalities demonstrated the superior performance over state-of-the-art methods.

Firewall is a device or set of instruments designed to permit or deny network transmissions based upon a set of rules and regulation is frequently used to protect networks from unauthorized access while permitting legitimate communications to pass or during the sensitive data transmission. Distributed firewalls allow enforcement of security policies on a network without restricting its topology on an inside or outside point of view. Use of a policy language and centralized delegating its semantics to all members of the networks domain support application of firewall technology for organizations, which network devices communicate over insecure channels and still allow a logical separation of hosts in- and outside the trusted domain. We introduce the general concepts of such distributed firewalls, its requirements and implications and introduce its suitability to common threats on the Internet, as well as give a short discussion on contemporary implementations.
Filipinos getting infected with HIV-AIDS continued to balloon notwithstanding the intervention through comprehensive prevention, dissemination and control programs. In Eastern Visayas there were 69 cases coming from most risk population primarily Men Having Sex with Men (MSM) either homosexual, heterosexual and bisexual modes of transmissions. Bearing this epidemic, sexual networking, using the internet for sex served as cruising sites for casual sex and promiscuity maybe accounted for this surge. This study made use of descriptive cross sectional method with 214 active users from different social sites using time- location sampling through interviews, group discussions and questionnaires. Results showed that most of the respondents joined the site for sex and had an average of 1-5 different sexual intercourse for the past three months. Sexual practices were oral, anal and oral-anal. Respondents were aware on the different modes of transmission but fully unaware of existing services of the DOH and were willing to be screened for HIV.
A study was conducted to determine the productivity and constraints of smallholder rabbit production in the Mberengwa and Zvishavane districts of the Midlands Province in Zimbabwe. 42 households were randomly selected to respond to a standard questionnaire. 79% of the respondents had an average rabbit rearing experience of less than five years. The average clutch size per household was less than 10 mature rabbits. The rabbits were acquired through purchase (88%), gifts (7%), or in exchange for labor. However 76% of the rabbits were sourced from within the local area. Only 17% of the farmers fed commercial feeds. The prevalent diseases were mange (68%), coccidiosis (24%), and foot rot (8%). 23% of the farmers used veterinary drugs and medicines to treat the common diseases, whilst 67% sourced the locally available herbs and plants for the same purpose. Survivability of the rabbits was significantly affected (P<0.001) and strongly correlated (r=0.) with housing system. Rabbit meat was mainly used to generate household income and for home consumption.
Among the large mammals of Africa, elephants are probably the worst affected by human activities. Although they have been listed as endangered and protected since 1989, illegal poaching and habitat destruction continue to diminish and isolate remaining populations that are dispersed widely over 37 sub-Saharan African countries. Their populations currently exist in small isolated habitat, and this threatens elephant genetic diversity. Although literature is available on the taxonomy and phylogeny of African elephant, few studies have focused on codon usage on mitochondrial genomes. To analyze nucleotide diversity, selective pressure and demographic history of African elephants, we used the portion of mitochondrial sequences of 102 individuals available in the genome database. Our data indicated a low codon bias index (CBI) and a relatively high effective number of codons (ENC) value in the mitochondrial genome, suggesting that African elephants are less biased in their codon usage preference. The data also support a strong purifying selection in the mitochondrial genome of African elephants. However, few sites are under positive selection in the mitochondrial genome of African elephants, with Loxodonta africana presenting more sites under positive selection compared to L. cyclotis. The present work supports the idea that different evolutionary rate among nucleotide sites in L. africana and L. cyclotis, attributable to differences in the frequency of positive selection and probably different environmental conditions, are the driving forces for the codon usage bias in African elephants. Further studies are needed to investigate the contribution of different subpopulation in the genetic structure and diversity of African elephants.
Porous media has two specifications: First its dissipation area is greater than the conventional fins that enhance heat convection. Second the irregular motion of the fluid flow around the individual beads mixes the fluid more effectively. Nanofluids are mixtures of base fluid with a very small amount of nanoparticles having dimensions from 1 to 100 nm, with very high thermal conductivities, so it would be the best convection heat transfer by using porous media and nanofluids. Thus studies need to be conducted involving nanofluids in porous media. For that, the purpose of this article is to summarize the published subjects respect to the enhancement of convective heat transfer using porous media and nanofluids and identifies opportunities for future research.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BIT TRANSITION COUNTERcsijjournal
In today’s VLSI system design, power consumption is gaining more attention as compared to performance and area. This is due to battery life in portable devices and operating frequency of the design. Power consumption
mainly consists of static power, dynamic power, leakage power and short circuit power. Dynamic power is dominant among all which depends on many factors viz. power supply, load capacitance and frequency. Switching
activity also affects dynamic power consumption of bus which is determined by calculating the number of bit transitions on bus. The purpose of this paper is to design a bit transition counter which can be used to calculate the
switching activity of the circuit nodes. The novel feature is that it can be inserted at any node of the circuit, thus helpful for calculating power consumption of bus.
Design of High Speed Low Power 15-4 Compressor Using Complementary Energy Pat...CSCJournals
This paper presents the implementation of a novel high speed low power 15-4 Compressor for high speed multiplication applications using single phase clocked quasi static adiabatic logic namely CEPAL (Complementary Energy Path Adiabatic Logic). The main advantage of this static adiabatic logic is the minimization of the 1/2CVth2 energy dissipation occurring every cycle in the multi-phase power-clocked adiabatic circuits. The proposed Compressor uses bit sliced architecture to exploit the parallelism in the computation of sum of 15 input bits by five full adders. The newly proposed Compressor is also centered around the design of a novel 5-3 Compressor that attempts to minimize the stage delays of a conventional 5-3 Compressor that is designed using single bit full adder and half adder architectures. Firstly, the performance characteristics of CEPAL 15-3 Compressor with 14 transistor and 10 transistor adder designs are compared against the conventional static CMOS logic counterpart to identify its adiabatic power advantage. The analyses are carried out using the industry standard Tanner EDA design environment using 250 nm technology libraries. The results prove that CEPAL 14T 15-4 Compressor is 68.11% power efficient, 75.31% faster over its static CMOS counterpart.
Design and Verification of Area Efficient Carry Select Adderijsrd.com
Carry Select Adder (CSLA) is one of the fastest adders used in many data-processing processors to perform fast arithmetic functions. From the structure of the CSLA, it is clear that there is scope for reducing the area and power consumption in the CSLA. This work uses a simple and efficient gate-level modification to significantly reduce the area and power of the CSLA. Based on this modification 16, 32 square - root CSLA (SQRT CSLA) architecture have been developed and compared with the regular SQRT CSLA architecture. The proposed design has reduced area and power as compared with the regular SQRT CSLA with only a slight increase in the delay. This work evaluates the performance of the proposed designs in terms of delay, area.

Optimal and Power Aware BIST for Delay Testing of System-On-ChipIDES Editor
Test engineering for fault tolerant VLSI systems is
encumbered with optimization requisites for hardware
overhead, test power and test time. The high level quality of
these complex high-speed VLSI circuits can be assured only
through delay testing, which involves checking for accurate
temporal behavior. In the present paper, a data-path based
built-in test pattern generator (TPG) that generates iterative
pseudo-exhaustive two-patterns (IPET) for parallel delay
testing of modules with different input cone capacities is
implemented. Further, in the present study a CMOS
implementation of low power architecture (LPA) for scan based
built-in self test (BIST) for delay testing and combinational
testing is carried out. This reduces test power dissipation in
the circuit under test (CUT). Experimental results and
comparisons with pre-existing methods prove the reduction
in hardware overhead and test-time.
Analysis of CMOS Comparator in 90nm Technology with Different Power Reduction...IJECEIAES
To reduce power consumption of regenerative comparator three different techniques are incorporated in this work. These techniques provide a way to achieve low power consumption through their mechanism that alters the operation of the circuit. These techniques are pseudo NMOS, CVSL (cascode voltage switch logic)/DCVS (differential cascode voltage switch) & power gating. Initially regenerative comparator is simulated at 90 nm CMOS technology with 0.7 V supply voltage. Results shows total power consumption of 15.02 µW with considerably large leakage current of 52.03 nA. Further, with pseudo NMOS technique total power consumption increases to 126.53 µW while CVSL shows total power consumption of 18.94 µW with leakage current of 1270.13 nA. More then 90% reduction is attained in total power consumption and leakage current by employing the power gating technique. Moreover, the variations in the power consumption with temperature is also recorded for all three reported techniques where power gating again show optimum variations with least power consumption. Four more conventional comparator circuits are also simulated in 90nm CMOS technology for comparison. Comparison shows better results for regenerative comparator with power gating technique. Simulations are executed by employing SPICE based on 90 nm CMOS technology.
The peer-reviewed International Journal of Engineering Inventions (IJEI) is started with a mission to encourage contribution to research in Science and Technology. Encourage and motivate researchers in challenging areas of Sciences and Technology.
A low-power 2-bit/step operation technique is proposed which uses dynamic threshold configuring comparator instead of multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Power and area overhead is minimized by successively activated comparators. The comparator threshold is configured by simple Vcm biased current source, which keep the ADC free from power supply variations over 10%. To implement power efficient and high performance analog-to-digital converters the designers are urged to design an optimized dual tail comparator. In this paper, It is shown that in the proposed dual tail comparator both the power and delay time is significantly reduced.

CONTROL OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR WITH DOUBLE ANN MODEL BASED DTCcsandit
Direct torque control (DTC) is preferably control method on high performance control of induction motors due to its dvantages such as fast dynamic response, simple and robust control structure. However, high torque and current ripples are mostly faced problems in this control method. This paper presents artificial neural network (ANN) based approach to the DTC method to overcome mentioned problems. In the study, by taking a different perspective to ANN and DTC integration, two different ANN models have been designed, trained and implemented. The first ANN model has been used for switch selecting process and the second one has been used for sector determine process. Matlab/Simulink model of the proposed ANN based DTC method has created in order to compare with the conventional DTC and the proposed DTC
methods. The simulation studies have proved that the induction motor torque and current
ripples have been reduced remarkably with the proposed method and this approach can be a
good alternative to the conventional DTC method for induction motor control
"Heart failure is a typical clinical accompanied by symptoms syndrome (e.g. shortness of breath, ankle swelling and fatigue) that lead to structural or functional abnormalities of the heart (e.g. high venous pressure, pulmonary edema and peripheral edema).
In recent years, the significant role of B-type natriuretic peptide has been revealed in the pathogenesis of heart disease and the use of the drug sacubitril/valsartan has started. It has a positive effect on the regulation of the level of B-type natriuretic peptide in the body. It is obviously seen from the the world literature that natriuretic peptides play an important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. For this reason, many studies suggest that the importance of natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure is recommended.
Due to this, we tried to investigate the effects of a comprehensive medication therapy with a combination of sacubitril/valsartan in the patients with chronic heart failure."

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Low Power Area Efficient Parallel Counter
Architecture

Abstract: Counters are specialized registers and is considered as essential building blocks for a variety of circuit operations such as
programmable frequency dividers, shifters, code generators, memory select management, and various arithmetic operations. Since many
applications are comprised of these fundamental operations, much research focuses on efficient counter architecture design. This paper
proposes an 8-bit high speed parallel counter architecture. The counter consists of two main sections- the counting section and the state
Anticipation Module.The total equivalent gate count for our proposed counter is 164 whereas the existing counter architecture
consumes 266.The delay of the proposed counter architecture is 3.968ns and that of existing counter is 4.952ns. The Power
consumption is 28.80mW for our proposed counter and 29.24mW for the existing one.
Keywords: parallel counter design, high speed, state anticipation module.
1. Introduction
Fast counter is a key element in most of the circuit
operations such as frequency dividers, shifters and
arithmetic operations such as multipliers. Basic properties
preferred for a fast counter includes high count rate, read
on the fly and implementation suitable for VLSI. As the
speed of operation is determined by the propagation delay
time of the count enable signal from the LSB to the MSB,
most of the counters cannot satisfy the speed
requirements. Therefore, the counter's size is considered to
be the main limiting factor of the counting rate [I]. Some
traditional approaches enhanced the counting speed by
improving the circuit implementation of various gates and
flip-flops, [2], [3], [4]. But these techniques are not well
suited for counters employed in arithmetic circuits. As a
substitution to the carry chain, Kakarountas et al. [10]
used a carry look-ahead circuit [9]. With the expense of an
extra detector, the carry look-ahead
Circuit used a prescaler technique with systolic 4-bit
counter modules using T-type flip-flops. The detector
circuit output is used to enable counting in the higher
order bits. Kakarountas‟s design used DFFs between the
counter modules to improvise the operating frequency. As
the counter design was limited by control signal
broadcasting, Kakarountas‟s design was not practical for
large counter widths. S. Abdel-Hafeez et al. [6] proposed
a simple implementation of frequency divider. However,
the circuit operation is confined to frequency division
operation and has no provision for multiple arithmetic
functionalities. In order to reduce the power consumption,
Alioto et al. [7] presented a low power counter design
with a relatively high operating frequency. Alioto‟s
design was based on cascading an analog block such that
each counting stage‟s input frequency was halved
compared to the previous counting stage. However,
Alioto‟s counter design‟s carry chain rippled through all
counting stages, resulting in a total critical path delay
equal to the sum of all counting stage delays.
Subsequently, Alioto‟s design was not well suited for
large counter widths because the carry chain limited
operating frequency even though the carry chain voltage
was not rail-to-rail. A dual-modulus prescaler constructed
with two parts-a synchronous counter and an
asynchronous counter was proposed by B. Chang et al.
[8].But the advantage of reduction power consumption
was negated by reduction in speed.
The counting path of the 8-bit Parallel counting
architecture [5] consists of four 2-bit modules separated
by DFFs. Though the performance of the counter was
found to be attractive, it consumed comparatively higher
number of transistors thereby increasing total area
required for the circuit realization. Therefore to negate
these drawbacks alternative counter design strategies are
proposed here. In the proposed architecture all the
counting blocks are designed by using JK flip-flops which
reduces the number of gates required for the overall
implementation of the circuit. Also in place for repeating
counting blocks of equal width, the counting blocks of
variable width is used to reduce the size of the state
anticipation module.
2. Parallel Counter Architecture
Figure 3 shows the functional block diagram of the
proposed high speed parallel counter. It consists of two
sections – The Counting Section and State Anticipation
Module.
2.1 Counting Section
The counting section consists of three different modules.
They are BCM, SCM1, and SCM2. The module BCM
represents the Basic Counting Module. SCM1 and SCM2
represent the first and second Subsequent Counting
Modules respectively.
2.1.1 Module-BCM
The basic module BCM is a parallel synchronous 3-bit up
counter using JK flip-flops. The schematic is shown in
Figure 1. Here the J and K inputs of all the flip flops are
shorted and thus its operation is equivalent to a T flip-flop.
The output expressions of the basic module BCM is given

The module BCM is responsible for the three low-order
bit counting and these three LSBs generate future states
for counting modules SCM1 and SCM2 in the counting
section. Whenever the module BCM output Q2Q1Q0
=110, the input TR of the first subsequent counting
module will be „1‟ after a single clock pulse. The
counting module will change its state only if TR=‟1‟. The
connection between the basic and first subsequent
counting module is such that when the basic module
completes its full state sequence only, a single state
change occurs for the first subsequent counting module
SCM1.
Figure 1: The Schematic diagram of Module- BCM of the
proposed high speed parallel counter
2.1.2 Module - SCMK
The counting modules other than the basic module are
represented here as SCMK, where K is equal to „1‟ for
the first subsequent module and equal to “2‟ for the
second subsequent module. The SCMK counting modules
will change its state only if TR=‟1‟. The first and second
SCMK modules are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4
respectively. Here SCM1 is a two bit counting module and
SCM2 is a three bit counting module. Similar to module
BCM, JK flip-flops are used to realize the circuits of
modules SCM1 and SCM2.

the proposed high speed parallel counter
The output expressions of SCM1 are given by,
The output expressions of SCM2 are given by,
2.2 State Anticipation Module (SAM)
The State Anticipation Module consists of three D flip-
flops, three 3-input AND gates and two inverters. It
decodes the count states of basic counting module BCM.
This decoding is carried over two clock cycles through
two DFFs to trigger the second subsequent module,
SCM2. In Figure 3, the first row consisting of a D flip-
flop, a 3-input AND gate and an inverter decodes the low-
order state Q2Q1Q0 =110 and carries this decoding across
one clock cycle and enables Q4Q3 =01 at module SCM1
on the next rising clock edge. The second row of the State
Anticipation Module decodes the low-order state Q2Q1Q0
=101 and carries this decoding over two cycles. By
Combining the one cycle action in the counting section for
Q4Q3 =10 and a two-cycle action for Q2Q1Q0 =101,
Q7Q6Q5 can be enabled. The propagation delay can be
considerably reduced by this type of simultaneous
triggering of all the modules

5. Results and Discussions
The performance analysis of the proposed high-speed low
power parallel 8-bit counter architecture and the existing
counter architecture is provided in this section.
6.1 Existing Counter Architecture
It is a high-speed wide-range parallel counter that
achieves high operating frequencies through a novel
pipeline partitioning methodology (a counting path and
state look-ahead path), using only three simple repeated
CMOS-logic module types: an initial module generates
anticipated counting states for higher significant bit
modules through the state look-ahead path, simple D-type
flip-flops, and 2-bit counters. The state look-ahead path
prepares the counting path’s next counter state prior to the
clock edge such that the clock edge triggers all modules
simultaneously, thus concurrently updating the count state
with a uniform delay at all counting path modules/stages
with respect to the clock edge.
The counting path of the 8-bit Parallel counting
architecture [5] consists of four 2-bit modules separated
by DFFs. Though the performance of the counter was
found to be attractive, it consumed comparatively higher
number of transistors thereby increasing total area
required for the circuit realization

6.3 Proposed Counter Architecture
In the proposed architecture all the counting blocks are
designed by using JK flip-flops which reduces the number
of gates required for the overall implementation of the
circuit. Also in place for repeating counting blocks of
equal width, the counting blocks of variable width is used
to reduce the size of the state anticipation module.
