  • Comparison and impact of substrate noise due to clocked and clockless circuitry

    Creator:
    Le, Jim K.
    Abstract:
    Delay insensitive asynchronous circuitry provides significant advantages with respect to substrate noise due to localized switching. The differences between the substrate noise from NULL Convention Logic (NCL) and traditional Clocked Boolean Logic (CBL) are described and analyzed based on measured results. A test chip fabricated in the TSMC 0.25 um...

  • Real-time radioxenon measurement using a Compton-suppressed well-type phoswich detector for nuclear explosion monitoring

    Creator:
    Alemayehu, Bemnet
    Abstract:
    Radioxenon detection is a technique used to monitor nuclear explosion and verify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Because of an ultra-low concentration of radioxenon at radioxenon monitoring stations, radioxenon detection systems must have high sensitivity. This sensitivity is measured in terms of detector's minimum detectable concentration (MDC). It is required...

  • A Two-element CZT-based Radioxenon Detection System for Nuclear Weapon Test Monitoring

    Creator:
    Ranjbar, Lily
    Abstract:
    Detection of xenon radioisotopes (radioxenons) has proven to be an important method for detecting nuclear explosions and is particularly well suited for detecting undeclared underground testing. The radioxenon isotopes ¹³¹mXe (t₁/₂ = 11.934 d), ¹³³mXe (t₁/₂ = 2.19 d), ¹³³Xe (t₁/₂ = 5.243 d) and ¹³⁵Xe (t₁/₂ = 9.14 h)...

  • Development of a CZT-Silicon Detection System in Support of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty

    Creator:
    Alhawsawi, Abdulsalam M.
    Abstract:
    The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans all nuclear explosion tests for military or civilian purposes. The International Monitoring System (IMS) was established to verify compliance with the treaty. It consists of several monitoring stations that detect: seismic activities, hydrocoustic activities, infrasound waves, and radionuclide particles and noble gases. Radioxenon detection...

  • An ultra low power frequency reference for timekeeping applications

    Creator:
    Oporta, Hector Ivan
    Abstract:
    An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A subthreshold voltage regulator provides a supply voltage for the oscillator with minimum current consumption. The oscillator and regulator...

  • Novel power conditioning circuits for piezoelectric micro power generators

    Creator:
    Han, Jifeng
    Abstract:
    Advanced low power devices promote the development of micro power generators (MPGs) to replace the batteries to power them. Due to the trend in decreasing integrated circuit (IC) supply voltages, power supply designers are facing more and more serious challenges. The objective of this research is to design a power...

  • Ultra-low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Ayers, James S.
    Abstract:
    In wireless sensor network applications, low-power operation of the wireless receiver is critical. To address this need an ultra-low power Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) receiver using the super-regenerative architecture is developed. A prototype receiver is built and tested for operation in the 900 MHz ISM band. Lab measurements show...

  • A novel linear generator for wave energy applications

    Creator:
    Ernst, Steven George
    Abstract:
    With the increasing effort to identify alternative methods of energy generation, extraction of ocean energy has gathered a large interest. Research and industry have begun considering wave energy as the next new alternative energy. The unique challenges of ocean energy requires a wave energy converter to be both robust and...

  • One-to-many node disjoint paths routing in generalized hypercube, dense Gaussian, and hexagonal mesh networks

    Creator:
    Alsaleh, Omar I.
    Abstract:
    Routing from a single source node to multiple destination nodes using node disjoint paths (NDP) has many important applications in parallel systems. For example, if a source node wants to send distinct messages to distinct destination nodes, then the one-to-many NDP routing is useful. Unlike parallel systems with shared-memory, each...

  • Recognizing human group activities in video through mining optimal features

    Creator:
    Amer, Mohamed R.
    Abstract:
    Given a video, we would like to recognize group activities, localize video parts where these activities occur, and detect actors involved in them. To this and, we propose a novel, mid-level feature, called control point, for representing group activities. The control points are aimed at summarizing visual cues, lifting from...
