  • Memory optimization for a parallel sorting hardware architecture

    Creator:
    Beyer, Dale A.
    Abstract:
    Sorting is one of the more computationally intensive tasks a computer performs. One of the most effective ways to speed up the task of sorting is by using parallel algorithms. When implementing a parallel algorithm, the designer has to make several decisions. Among the decisions are the algorithm and the...

  • Analysis and modeling of lossy planar optical waveguides and application to silicon-based structures

    Creator:
    Remley, Catherine A.
    Abstract:
    This work is concerned with the modeling and analysis of lossy planar dielectric optical waveguides. Loss mechanisms which affect propagation characteristics are reviewed, and various representations of the propagation constant in the lossy case are defined. Waveguide structures which are susceptable to absorption and/or to leakage loss, in particular silicon-based...

  • ISPS in system design

    Creator:
    Sakallah, Faten A.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation demonstrates the utility of the Instruction Set Processor Specification (ISPS) in a design environment. Although ISPS supports a wide range of applications in the areas of architecture evaluation and certification, design automation, software generation and fault simulation, the .emphasis in this dissertation is focused on using it in...

  • Electro-optic characterization of SrS-based alternating current thin-film electroluminescent devices

    Creator:
    Nevers, Corey A.
    Abstract:
    Two methods of electro-optically characterizing alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices are investigated: photo-induced transferred charge (PIQ) and luminescence (PIL), and subthreshold voltage-induced transferred charge (VIQ) techniques. Both techniques provide information related to traps within the phosphor layer. PIQ/PIL experiments monitor the transport of electrons and holes across the phosphor layer...

  • Alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent device optical excitation experiments

    Creator:
    Cleary, Bradford A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates two methods of optical excitation of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices. The two experimental methods investigated in this thesis are the photo-induced charge (PIQ) and luminescence (PIL), and the subthreshold-voltage induced transferred charge (VIQ) techniques. PIQ/PIL experiments utilize an above-bandgap laser pulse to investigate the transport properties...

  • Industrial power system faults

    Creator:
    Badr, Ahmad Mohamad Amin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to represent and calculate unsymmetrical secondary faults on a grounded wye-to-delta transformer bank. This thesis is specifically concerned with the secondary connections often encountered in industrial installations. Faults on these systems have not been adequately investigated. Three types of faults are considered, namely: 1....

  • Adaptive noise cancellation for second-order delta-sigma A/D converters

    Creator:
    Bribech, Habib
    Abstract:
    Oversampled analog-to-digital (A/D) converter architectures have been receiving increased attention for high-precision A/D converters. These architectures offer the means of exchanging resolution in time for that in amplitude. Among these oversampled A/D converters, delta-sigma modulators are the most popular method used due to their simplicity in the analog circuitry. The...

  • Evaluation of a pole placement controller for a planar manipulator

    Creator:
    Doustmohammadi, Ali
    Abstract:
    The effectiveness of linear control of a planar manipulator is presented for robot operation markedly exceeding the limits of linearity assumed in the design of the linear controller. Wolovich's frequency domain pole placement algorithm is utilized to derive the linear controller. The control scheme must include state estimation since only...

  • Synchronization in a CMOS technology

    Creator:
    Flannagan, Stephen T.
    Abstract:
    The problem of synchronization arises in the interaction among digital systems not sharing a common clock reference. The reliability of synchronizers is related to metastable operation of bistable elements. Because of its subtle nature, the phenomenon until recently was not widely researched. However, the literature now contains a sound theoretical...
