The purpose of this research is to develop methods to
translate a certain machine independent intermediate
language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a
class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been
developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a
high level microprogramming language used to implement a...
This paper investigates the benefit of various parallel processing
architectures for a Command and Control system for the Royal
Thai Air Force. Parallel processing has been shown to be useful
for air defense and air traffic control applications. Its advantages
are examined within the constraint imposed by the available
resources...
Most technological problems associated with man-machine conversations
have been solved and are well documented in both the
contemporary technical and lay literature. The major remaining
technological problem is the real time conversion of a human's vocal
uterances into a "written" phoneme sequence representing the information
content of speech. The work...
It is popular belief that the volatility of the exchange rate is due
to the balance of payments, which in turn is mainly influenced by the
balance of trade. A closed-loop dynamic economic model is proposed
to describe and analyse the effect of the international trade of a
country on...
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the necessity of
transposition in the construction of overhead transmission lines.
Line currents, line voltages and line losses of both the transposed
and untransposed lines were calculated and compared for two different
voltage classes. The conventional method of symmetrical components
was used...
The feasibility of utilizing acoustic imaging techniques for
improving the undersea viewing capability of small submersibles is
investigated. The limiting values of major parameters in acoustic
imaging systems are established and graphs which illustrate the
parametric relationships are presented. A series of sample calculations
illustrate how the graphs can be...
This thesis develops a simplified and logical simulation model
for an amplidyne excitation system for a synchronous generator with
an automatic voltage regulator.
The non-transfer function representation using field determined
parameters including variable inductance and machine saturation
was used to reduce the computing time for the stability analysis.
The simulation...
A liquid crystal thermographic technique was developed
for application to several problems in clinical
medicine and physiology. The procedure was inexpensive,
rapid, simple, versatile and acceptable to patients.
Investigators in the past have used cholesteric liquid
crystals for thermography but their use was limited to
research in the medical field...
