Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new chaos-based communication scheme using the observers. The novelty lies in the masking procedure that is employed to hide the confidential information using the chaotic oscillator. We use a combination of the addition and inclusion methods to mask the information. The performance of two observers, the proportional observer (P-observer) and the proportional integral observer (PI-observer) is compared that are employed as receivers for the proposed communication scheme. We show that the P-observer is not suitable scheme since it imposes unpractical constraints on the messages to be transmitted. On the other hand, we show that the PI-observer is the better solution because it allows greater flexibility in choosing the gains of the observer and does not impose any unpractical restrictions on the message.

Abstract
Accurate and reliable time is necessary for financial and legal transactions, transportation, distribution systems, and many other applications. Time synchronization protocols such as NTP (the Network Time Protocol) have kept clocks of such applications synchronized to each other for many years. Nowadays there are many commercial GPS based NTP time server products at the market but they almost have a high price. In this paper we are going to use a low cost GPS engine to build a time server to provide time synchronization with accuracy of a few milliseconds. This time server is relatively very cheap and it can be used in almost all typical applications. We also proposed a software based NTP time server implemented in MATLAB as well.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the tracking and synchronization problems of hyperchaotic systems based on active backstepping method. The method consists of a recursive approach that interlaces the choice of a Lyapunov function with the design of feedback control. First, a nonlinear recursive active backstepping control vector is designed to track any desired trajectory in hyperchaotic Wang system. Furthermore, this method is applied to achieve hyperchaos synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic Wang systems. Also, it is used to implement global asymptotic synchronization between hyperchaotic Wang system and hyperchaotic Rössler system. Numerical simulations have been employed to verify the effectiveness of the three designed active backstepping control vectors.

Abstract
Neural synchronization is considered as a key role in several neurological diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Epilepsy’s disease. During these diseases, there is increased synchronization of massive numbers of neurons. In addition, evidences show that astrocytes modulate the synaptic interactions of the neuronal population. The Astrocyte is an important part of a neural network that can be involved in the desynchronization of the neuronal population. In this paper, we design a new analog neuromorphic circuit to implement the effect of astrocyte in the desynchronization of neural networks. The simulation results demonstrate that the astrocyte circuit as a feedback path can be desynchronized to a synchronized neural population. In this circuit, as a first step, the population of twenty neurons is synchronized with the same input currents. Next, by involving an astrocyte feedback circuit, the synchronization of the neural network is disturbed. Then, the neuronal population will be desynchronized. The proposed circuit is designed and simulated using HSPICE simulator in 0.35 μm standard CMOS technology.
