  • 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...

  • Atomic solid state energy scale applied to novel thin-film solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Pelatt, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    The atomic solid state energy (SSE) scale is introduced as a tool for inorganic materials design. The SSE scale is obtained by assessing an average electron affinity (EA) (for a cation) or an average ionization potential (IP) (for an anion) for each atom using data from compounds having that specific...

  • Inductors in high-performance silicon radio frequency integrated circuits : analysis, modeling, and design considerations

    Creator:
    Lutz, Richard D., Jr
    Abstract:
    Spiral inductors are a key component of mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits (IC's). Such circuits are often fabricated using silicon-based technology, owing to the inherent low-cost and high volume production aspects. However, semiconducting substrate materials such as silicon can have adverse effects on spiral inductor performance due to the lossy...

  • 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...

  • Error control techniques for the Z-channel

    Creator:
    Oprisan, Paul
    Abstract:
    The asymmetric nature of bit errors in several practical applications provides grounds for efficient error control techniques. The Z-channel model and special classes of codes like asymmetric error detection codes and t-asymmetric error correcting/d-asymmetric error detecting codes can be successfully used in ARQ protocols for feedback error control enhancement. This...

  • Modeling and characterization of amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Yeh, Bao-Sung
    Abstract:
    The objective of the research presented herein is to elucidate the effect of traps in determining amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor (AOS TFT) performance using modeling and characterization. A novel method is proposed to extract the interface state distribution from a TFT transfer curve. Analysis of zinc-indium oxide (ZIO), zinc-tin...

  • Stochastic properties of morphological filters

    Creator:
    Zhu, Feihong
    Abstract:
    Most of the existing research on mathematical morphology is restricted to the deterministic case. This thesis addresses the void in the results on the stochastic properties of morphological filters. The primary results include analysis of the stochastic properties of morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion, closing and opening. Two unbiased...

  • Design of a mini-computer controlled digital integrated circuit tester

    Creator:
    Fasang, Patrick Pad, 1941-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct, program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted to digital integrated circuits. The general concept of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on the truth table of that circuit. A combination...

  • Data-structure builder for VLSI/CAD software

    Creator:
    Eum, Doo-hun
    Abstract:
    Relational database systems have successfully solved many business data processing problems. The primary reason of this success is that the relational data model provides a simple, yet flexible view of data as tables. In studying VLSI/CAD data, we noticed that they are often represented in formats similar to relational tuples....
