  • A schemata model of real-time information processing systems

    Creator:
    Szulewski, Paul A.
    Abstract:
    In an attempt to provide a practical means to measure the information processing capacity of a real-time digital processing system a theoretical framework, the Real-Time Schemata, whose basis is a schematic description and a measure of "useful information," is presented. The description applies to processes that would typically be implemented...

  • Implementation of display control node for a distributed microcontroller network

    Creator:
    Xu, Yan, 1954-
    Abstract:
    As hardware becomes cheaper and cheaper, there is an increasing interest in the implementation of distributed control networks with microcontrollers. Such networks are usually inexpensive and of high performance. In this thesis work, a low-cost display control unit for COLAN, a control-oriented network, is designed. The system is based on...

  • Motion detection algorithm using wavelet transform

    Creator:
    Lee, Jeongmin
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an algorithm that estimates motion in image sequence using wavelet transform. The motion detection is performed under unfavorable conditions of background movement, change of brightness, and noise. The algorithm is tolerant to brightness changes, noise, and small movement in the background. The false alarm rate of motion...

  • Program allocation for hypercube based dataflow systems

    Creator:
    Freytag, Vincent R.
    Abstract:
    The dataflow model of computation differs from the traditional control-flow model of computation in that it does not utilize a program counter to sequence instructions in a program. Instead, the execution of instructions is based solely on the availability of their operands. Thus, an instruction is executed in a dataflow...

  • Taskmaster II, a versatile distributed system for control

    Creator:
    Schaal, Hans-Werner
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses a special type of a versatile, distributed control system, the Taskmaster II. It includes a detailed specification of a readily realizable Taskmaster system utilizing a layered communication among units, oriented on the ISO OSI seven layer model. The specification was developed from the analysis of previous research...

  • Overcoming the singularity problem in digital image restoration

    Creator:
    Osta, Ahmad M.
    Abstract:
    A recorded image is a degraded version of an original image. The process of removing the degradations is called restoration. Two types of degradations are considered in this thesis: namely, linear motion and defocused lens blurrings. Using the direct deconvolution technique to restore blurred images is impossible if the blurring...

  • A micro data flow (MDF) : a data flow approach to self-timed VLSI system design for DSP

    Creator:
    Merani, Lalit T.
    Abstract:
    Synchronization is one of the important issues in digital system design. While other approaches have been intriguing, up until now a globally clocked timing discipline has been the dominant design philosophy. However, we have reached the point, with advances in technology, where other options should be given serious consideration. VLSI...

  • Comparison of DPCM and Subband Codec performance in the presence of burst errors

    Creator:
    Bhutani, Meeta
    Abstract:
    This thesis is a preliminary study of the relative performance of the major speech compression techniques, Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM) and Subband Coding (SBC) in the presence of transmission distortion. The combined effect of the channel distortions and the channel codec including error correction is represented by bursts of...

  • Hybrid adaptive controller for resource allocation of real-rate multimedia applications

    Creator:
    Vahia, Varin
    Abstract:
    Multimedia applications such as video streaming and Voice over IP are becoming common today with the tremendous growth of the Internet. General purpose operating systems thus are required to support these applications. These multimedia applications have some timing constraints that need to be satisfied for good quality. For example, video...

  • Capacitance-voltage analysis, SPICE modeling, and aging studies of AC thin-film electroluminescent devices

    Creator:
    Davidson, James D. (James Douglas), 1960-
    Abstract:
    Alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices are metal-insulator-semiconductorinsulator- metal (MISIM) structures which emit light under high field, pulsed excitation. One aspect of ACTFEL operation that is not well understood is the aging of such devices with operating time. One of the primary goals of this thesis is to characterize the kinetics...
