  • Identification and analysis of simple models for the response time of complex computer systems

    Creator:
    Maneshi, Reza
    Abstract:
    A simple approach to developing approximate analytical performance models for complex systems (such as distributed processing systems or computer networks) is presented. The approach is applicable in cases where measurement or simulation data describing system performance are available but the system is too complex for exact analytical models to be...

  • Improving motion estimation with evolvable search algorithms

    Creator:
    Dill, Martin D.
    Abstract:
    Until now the topic of motion estimation, as used in video compression, has been dominated by search methodologies which are modifications of an exhaustive search. This research takes a completely new approach by applying two evolvable search algorithms, the Genetic Algorithm and the Genetic Program, to the area of motion...

  • Finite element modeling of dielectric waveguides

    Creator:
    Vishakhadatta, Gannavaram D.
    Abstract:
    Dielectric waveguides are becoming important for their numerous applications in integrated optics. The study of dielectric waveguides by analytical techniques is not sufficient for many variations in waveguide shape, anisotropy, and inhomogeneity commonly encountered in waveguide materials. This work studies the finite element method as an accurate tool for the...

  • Modelling of on-chip spiral inductors for silicon RFICs

    Creator:
    Melendy, Daniel
    Abstract:
    In high-frequency circuit design, performance is often limited by the quality of the passive components available for a particular process. Specifically, spiral inductors can be a major bottle-neck for Voltage-Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), Low-Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, etc. For designers to correctly optimize a circuit using a spiral inductor, several frequency-domain...

  • 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...

  • High-performance low-power microprocessor circuits

    Creator:
    Hsu, Steven K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis will discuss two critical components of a digital system -- domino logic styles and flip-flops. In today's microprocessors, both domino logic and flip-flops are essential to high-performance and low-power design. Two new domino logic styles are presented and analyzed, Double Edge Triggered (DET) and Double Data Rate (DDR)...

  • Nonlinear control applied to power systems

    Creator:
    Vedam, Rajkumar
    Abstract:
    When large disturbances occur in interconnected power systems, there exists the danger that the power system states may leave an associated region of stability, if timely corrective action is not taken. Open-loop remedial control actions such as field-forcing, line-tripping, switching of series-capacitors, energizing braking resistors, etc., are helpful in reducing...

  • Predictive control using feedback- : a case study of an inverted pendulum

    Creator:
    Barrett, Spencer Brown
    Abstract:
    Vision is a flexible, non-contact sensor that can be used for position feedback in closed-loop control of dynamic systems. Current vision systems for industrial automation provide low sample rates and large sample delays relative to other types of position sensors. Poor sample rates and sample delays are a result of...
