  • Interlaced instruction window

    Creator:
    Ong, Wee-Shong
    Abstract:
    A relatively recent development in the late 1980s in processors has been the superscalar processor. Superscalar processors use multiple pipelines in an attempt to achieve higher performance than previous generations of processors. Having multiple pipelines makes it possible to execute more than one instruction per cycle. However, since instructions are...

  • Road design process for low volume recreation and resource development roads

    Creator:
    Kramer, Brian W.
    Abstract:
    This study presents a rational process with supporting data to establish appropriate road design controls, criteria, and standards for low volume recreation and resource development. Much of the information presented can be used to supplement design data presented in a National road design policy published by the American Association of...

  • Dynamic behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

    Creator:
    Kent, Scott M.
    Abstract:
    The objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of actual metal-plate-connected (MPC) tension-splice and heel wood truss joints under seismic loads from the Northridge earthquake (tension-splice joints only) and under loads from a large artificial earthquake (1.0 g's and 0.67 g's maximum horizontal and vertical accelerations, respectively). A...

  • Comparison of two microvalve designs fabricated in mild steel using microprojection welding and capacitive dissociation

    Creator:
    Terhaar, Tyson J.
    Abstract:
    Since the dawn of the computer age, there has been a push to create miniature devices. These devices were initially integrated circuit (IC) devices to perform calculations for computers. As the technology progressed, the scope of the devices diverged to included microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices, meaning that the devices perform mechanical...

  • Small-scale modeling of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints

    Creator:
    Kittel, Mark
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to develop a one-third scale model of full-size (prototype) metal-plate-connected (MPC) wood truss joints using similitude theory. The prototype metal connector plates in MPC joints were modeled using thin galvanized sheet metal and short staples. Truss grade wood material was ripped to one-third scale...

  • Short-term duration of load and cyclic performance of metal-plate-connected truss joints

    Creator:
    Freilinger, Shawn M. Wicks
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to evaluate the duration of load factor for metal-plate-connected (MPC) truss joints subjected to various cyclic loading conditions. Heel and tension-splice joints from a standard 30-foot span Fink truss constructed from nominal 2x4 Douglas-fir lumber were tested. A testing frame similar to that developed...

  • Discrete compression web bracing design for light-frame wood trusses

    Creator:
    Waltz, Miles E.
    Abstract:
    As part of a roof framing system, light-frame wood trusses often require lateral bracing to reduce the effective length for flexural buckling of compression web members. This observational research investigates the design requirements for discrete compression web bracing intended to provide such lateral support. Four simple brace analysis methods based...

  • Equalizer design for MDFE channels using nonlinear optimization

    Creator:
    Onu, Dan
    Abstract:
    Decision feedback equalization (DFE) is a sampled-data technique used for data recovery in digital communications channels. Multi-level decision feedback equalization (MDFE) has been developed for channels using the 2/3(1,7) RLL code. The optimum detector for a digital communication channel affected by ISI and noise consists of a matched filter, followed...

  • A photodetecting device that rejects ambient light

    Creator:
    Li, Ning
    Abstract:
    The integration of photodetectors with IC circuits provides a significant improvement over conventional designs. Featuring noise reduction, extended frequency responses, lower power consumption, and data operations, these integrated devices open challenging opportunities for many applications. One type of photodetector has the potential for important applications in the life science and...
