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 dynamics of land use in the State of Oregon are simulated
on a digital computer. The introductory chapter outlines the complex
nature of the problems facing the post-industrial society and argues
that the scientific and professional estates share in the responsibility
for public policy formulation. The second chapter .presents...
A simulation method using a hybrid computer is developed in
this dissertation to enhance the study of wind-driven ocean circulation.
The simulation is based on the mathematical model developed by
Ekman. Pure digital simulation is not economical due to excessive
computer time required for the solution of the partial differential...
A model of a squirrel cage induction machine, d.c.-
link power supply and centrifugal pump is developed and
used in the design and evaluation of a perturbation feedback
control system for a sewage pumping station. A comparison
of the simulation model of the induction machine
and a laboratory machine to...
The purpose of this thesis is to represent and calculate unsymmetrical
secondary faults on a grounded wye-to-delta transformer
bank.
This thesis is specifically concerned with the secondary connections
often encountered in industrial installations. Faults on these
systems have not been adequately investigated.
Three types of faults are considered, namely:
1....
In an attempt to provide a practical means to measure the information
processing capacity of a real-time digital processing system a
theoretical framework, the Real-Time Schemata, whose basis is a
schematic description and a measure of "useful information," is presented.
The description applies to processes that would typically be
implemented...
It has been established that bilinear models
occur frequently in nature and offer some important
advantages from the standpoint. of controllability,
optimization and modeling. The estimation of
bilinear systeim models from the Measurements
of input-output data are discussed. In the
first approach a parametric model of a discrete-time
linear system...
The question of the suitability of Walsh functions or
similar bi-valued functions used as a radar electromagnetic
carrier waveform is considered. Walsh functions are
described and effective sinusoidal steady state transfer
functions are defined for transmission elements, antenna
systems, and propagation media.
The argument is made that the unit impulse...
A procedure for displaying cursory computer analyses of time
series acoustic signals is described. The graphic presentation is
optimized for visual analysis. The results displayed represent time
series signals and/or Power Spectral Density estimates.
Both hardware and software components of the procedure are
described and compared with current methods. Suggestions...
