The three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor is rugged, compact,
inexpensive, can be totally enclosed and requires little maintenance.
Its use as a variable speed drive has been limited, however, by the
state-of-the art of control components.
The advent and continuing development of the silicon controlled
rectifier and associated solid-state components has...
The use of the exponential-transfer-characteristics of a transistor
junction as a means of giving a logarithmic sweep calibration to a
sampling oscilloscope is presented. The prior work in logarithmic
converters leading up to the use of the transistor's transfer properties
is explored. A circuit adapting a sampling oscilloscope to a...
A high speed adaptive signal processing concept and several high
speed adaptive logic circuit elements are presented.
The adaptive signal processing system operates in a "goal" oriented
mode; the system tries to optimize its characteristics to
achieve a given goal in spite of unforeseen variations in the inputs,
the system,...
The problem of analyzing the general linear, time-varying
system is investigated. The approach starts with four different
system representations: the differential equation, transform representations,
signal flow graphs, or block diagrams. Given one of
these system describing representations, it is shown what the
engineer can find out about the system and...
This paper is concerned with the design of a 21-bit
metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)
integrated circuit static shift register.
This circuit consists of three separate 1, 4, and
16-bit static shift registers constructed on a single
monolithic chip, each with independent input and output
terminals.
Type D flip-flops are used...
A method is presented for developing a detailed non-linear
voltage regulator system model representation for use in power
system stability studies. This model is implemented within MIMIC,
a digital simulator program, with a particular set of data which
could be taken from field tests. Results are presented from simulations
of...
In this paper the characteristics of multi-conductor transmission
lines have been investigated for a variety of termination conditions
by using the differential equations and matrix methods.
Equations showing the characteristics of traveling waves along loss-less
multi-conductor systems are derived.
Line parameters were evaluated by experiments and by calculations.
The results...
An analog simulation of the postural control system (PCS) of a
dog is used to illustrate how modern systems simulation can be applied
to a study of complex life systems. Even though many bold
assumptions were required to adequately simplify the PCS model, the
simulation provided intuitive insight and gave...
This paper develops an equation, from an heuristic set of assumptions,
which describes the axial current, leakage current, resultant
electric field, and resultant earth potential occurring when
a pipeline buried within a resistive earth is subjected to a distributed,
primary, axial, electrostatic field produced from a high-voltage, direct-current (HVDC) power...
This thesis deals with the output statistics of nonlinear devices.
It develops the classical output autocorrelation function in two dimensions
and extends the theory to three and four dimensions. Closed
form solutions for the output correlation function in two and three
dimensions are given for the full- and half-wave rectifier...
The stability of a third-order, nonlinear system with a
saturation characteristic was studied by applying the second method
of Liapunov, which is the most general approach currently used for
dynamic systems.
This thesis presents (1) the analysis of a third-order, nonlinear
system, (2) a suitable Liapunov function, generated by the...
In this thesis a method is presented for maintaining the left
ventricular wall stress of the human heart at a constant level during
the systole (active portion of the heart's cycle). This constant stress
level makes it possible to take isotonic measurements on the heart
muscles.
The left ventricle of...
Due to the present trend to utilize both virtual memory and
paging for the implementation of storage for large-scale computer
systems, it is of interest to analyze the pertinent parameters
associated with the operation of a paging system. This paper
describes the paging process and determines the effect of variations...
This thesis discusses the field of products liability as it
relates to the electronics industry. The historical development of
products liability is traced and the various legal theories are
examined. These legal theories and background are then used to discuss
the judicial obligations imposed upon the manufacturer and
seller of...
In communications it is often desirable to recover a signal
hidden in noise. The techniques of correlation are often employed
for this purpose. Initially, the basic formula and properties of correlation
including an approximating formula are presented. Then the
description, design, and construction of a DC to 500 KHz electronic...
In this thesis, characteristics of coupled trigonometric transmission
lines are studied, based on the general theory of nonuniform

of the coupled trigonometric transmission lines are derived from the
even and odd mode waves. Two applications of coupled trigonometric
transmission lines are presented; one,...
A circuit designed to generate and maintain a constant magnetic

continuous control system.
A Hall generator is used as the magnetic sensing element, and
is operated with a pulse bias to allow a large output. The output of...
