This paper presents a fully digital Programmable Ramp Generator (PRG) for reconfigurable frequency-ramp synthesizers used in Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave radar, spread-spectrum clock generation, and test and measurement applications. A novel modular architecture is proposed, integrating a phase-accumulator-based frequency sweep generator and Delta-Sigma Modulator (DSM) that drives a Multi-M
Strongly lensed gravitational waves (GWs) are powerful probes of substructure in the lens. Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are postulated to be efficient lenses that may distort the lensed waveforms of currently detectable stellar-mass compact binaries, as hinted by GW231123. Assuming that IMBHs are located in globular clusters (GCs), we compute the rate at which they would affect strongly l

Audio-language models (ALMs) are increasingly used as judges for speech-to-speech systems, but a judge that receives audio may not actually use paralinguistic evidence. We introduce counterfactual audits for paralinguistic response evaluation. Each audit item holds the transcript fixed while varying affect, prosody, or the timing of an affective shift, forcing a valid judge to track the audio cue

Pixel-space generative models bypass lossy latent compression, yet necessitate joint learning of global structure and fine-grained details in a high-dimensional space. Standard flow matching interpolates noise toward a fixed clean-image endpoint, leaving the spectral evolution to be learned implicitly. In this paper, we introduce Energy-Guided Flow Matching(EG-FM) that explicitly models a coarse-t
Audio-visual understanding remains challenging because models must jointly interpret spoken content, visual events, and their temporal relationships. Existing omni models typically introduce dedicated audio encoders and rely on expensive audio-video-text training, tightly coupling omni capability to specific VLM backbones and potentially weakening their existing visual and reasoning abilities.
