  • The implementation of a control and development program for a local area network (LAN)

    Creator:
    Norton, Peter S.
    Abstract:
    Rapid advances in technology have seen computing move from a large central computer to desktop microcomputers. This advance was also seen in the design of dedicated computers, computers designed to perform a few specialized tasks or duties. These computers, or microcontrollers, are often controlled by a central computer and themselves...

  • Duty-cycle controlled switched resistor techniques for continuously tunable, low-voltage circuits

    Creator:
    Kurahashi, Peter
    Abstract:
    A duty-cycle controlled switched resistor is a tunable resistive element that uses pulse width modulation as the method of tuning. This thesis will describe the operation of switched resistors and propose several circuit architectures that are well suited to the use of switched resistors. These architectures include filters, mixers, and...

  • A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Hogan, Peter M.
    Abstract:
    Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...

  • Current-feedthrough cancellation technique for current-mode T/H circuits

    Creator:
    Young, David Y. W.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, an analysis of the clock-feedthrough effects in switched-current (SI)' circuits will be presented. The clock-feedthrough effects caused by the non-ideal characteristic of MOS switches when they are turned off limit the accuracy of the analog track-and-hold (T/H) circuits. A model to analyze and characterize this effect is...

  • Identification of stochastic systems with random parameters with particular reference to the recirculating lymphocytes in the immune system

    Creator:
    Farooqi, Zarreen H. H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is composed of four parts: i) system description, ii) model development, iii) parameter estimation, and iv) validation. The natural system used here is an aspect of the immune system, namely, the distribution of recirculating lymphocytes in various organs throughout the body. This distribution gains importance because: i) it...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

  • Fully-differential current-mode CMOS circuits and applications

    Creator:
    Zele, Rajesh H.
    Abstract:
    With increasing interest in current-mode analogue processing due to its high performance properties such as speed, bandwidth and accuracy compared to voltage-mode processing, new current-mode alternatives to various conventional circuit designs are appearing. In this report, a novel circuit design to construct a fully-differential current-mode operational amplifier ( OP-AMP )...

  • Novel control of a permanent magnet linear generator for ocean wave energy applications

    Creator:
    VanderMeulen, Aaron H.
    Abstract:
    Wave energy conversion devices are a rapidly growing interest worldwide for the potential to harness a sustainable and renewable energy source. Due to the oscillatory nature of ocean waves, the power generated from a permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG) for ocean wave energy conversion is pulsed. Focusing on direct drive...

  • A programmable system scheduler for control oriented local area networks (COLAN)

    Creator:
    Lim, Choo-chiang
    Abstract:
    The Control-Oriented Local Area Network (COLAN) is a distributed control system for a series of networked microcontrollers, which has been under development at Oregon State University since 1986. A reliable master controller, functioning both as a task scheduler and as a network controller, is required to allow users to perform...
