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...
The operation of a tunnel-diode delay-line memory cell is
examined in some detail, and a digital computer program which
approximately simulates the operation of this memory cell is developed.
The data from the computer simulation is compared with the
available experimental data and found to agree very closely for clock...
Recent acheivements in high speed digital integrated
circuits has prompted the system designers to search for
a practical method of inter-connecting these high speed
circuits. This paper describes the implementation of the
microstrip transmission line on a high speed digital
data bus. Transmission line and characteristic impedance,
termination with single...
The purpose of this study is to review Pennsylvania's
use of paper money through two distinct periods: the first
seven years of currency issues starting in 1723 and
concluding in 1730, and the second period encompassed by
the French and Indian War in 1755-63. They represent two
significant periods affecting...
This thesis presents work done to verify the accuracy of a
heuristic method for computing availability percentiles for
cascaded independent systems. Previous work has provided a model
for a single line that will be used as the basis for a simulation
of cascaded and parallel systems of lines. The simulation...
Poet John Haines is best known for his first book of
poetry, Winter News, which was published in 1966. The book
contains poems about the Alaskan landscape that surrounded
Haines during his many years of living in Richardson,
Alaska. The recurring motifs in his poems include hunting,
trapping, the Arctic...
This thesis is a study of the shifting philosophical trends in the works of Samuel Beckett, Donald Barthelme, and Kurt Vonnegut as representations of a greater shift from modernism to postmodernism. I have chosen to explore Beckett's plays Waiting for Godot and Krapp's Last Tape, Barthelme's short stories "Nothing: A...
Line balancing is concerned with the optimal assignment of work elements to individual operators in an assembly line of a mass producing system. This paper summarizes the assembly line balancing terminology, the computational methods, and objective functions applicable to a wide variety of assembly lines. Single and mixed-model situations for...
