Thesis Title: Design and realization of electronic circuits for transmission of high-power and wide-band ultrasound signals This work is part of the development of ULAOP256, an ultrasound research platform realized by MSDLAB of Università degli Studi di Firenze. In particular, in this Thesis work two different transmission boards (the part of the system dedicated to the transmission of signals to the probe) have been designed, created and tested for the ULA-OP 256 ultrasound system. The first electronic board can simultaneously manage four channels and to provide at the output of each one of them a signal that can assume “nine levels” of (high) voltage using an XMKD73A pulser, named Ultrasound Multilevel Pulser. The second electronic board can simultaneously manage the transmission on 32 channels using two STHV1600 pulsers, each capable of managing 16 channels and providing at the output “five different (high) voltage levels”. These signals must be transmitted to the piezoelectric or CMUT elements of an ultrasonic probe. For each of the two electronic boards, the relative printed circuit has been designed using appropriate softwares (OrCad Cadence and Allegro PCB Design). To project the firmware for the MAX10 FPGA that is present in each of the two boards, necessary for the correct piloting of the pulsers, the Altera Quartus software has been used; for the serial communication and the data transmission, the Matlab software and a STM32F411R Nucleo board have been used. After the electronic boards have been realized, the debugging phase has been carried out to verify their correct functioning by means of appropriate electrical and functional tests.

Thesis Title: Biometric systems and data security Security and authenticity of the information related to the identity of the person are among the topics most often dealt with in the last years in information technology. The development of new communication technologies and the rapid diffusion of smartphones and tablets, with which you have access to all the services of the network, make it necessary to be sure that your data are safe from any subject, who may try to appropriate them unduly and without any authorization. This thesis aims to collect and present ideas that can be used in the area of access control and information security. The systems we are going to treat all have the same characteristics: they guarantee a high level of secrecy and, with a high degree of certainty, ascertain the identity of the person trying to access them. With the growing need for highly reliable recognition techniques in critical applications such as access control or international border crossing, biometrics has established itself as a technology that can be integrated into large-scale identity control systems. Biometric systems operate under the premise that most of the physical or behavioral traits of human beings are unique to each individual and can easily be acquired through appropriately designed sensors. The final step is that they must be represented in numerical format so that an automatic decision can be made by the system in the context of identity control. The birth of biometrics has solved many of the problems that undermined the reliability of traditional authentication methods. This discipline refers to the automatic identification (or verification) of an individual (or declared as such), using certain physiological or behavioral traits associated with the person.
