  • Applied color processing

    Creator:
    Zhang, Heng
    Abstract:
    The quality of a digital image pipeline relies greatly on its color reproduction which should at a minimum handle the color constancy, and the final judgment of the excellence of the pipeline is made through subjective observations by humans. This dissertation addresses a few topics surrounding the color processing of...

  • Distance learning applied to control engineering education

    Creator:
    Aktan, Burçin
    Abstract:
    At the College of Engineering, Oregon State University, we have successfully developed and demonstrated a distance learning application utilizing emerging communications technologies in a new way to allow control engineering teaching laboratories to be accessed remotely. Second Best to Being There (SBBT) provides the remote user with all the capabilities...

  • 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...

  • Thermally-stable amorphous metal thin films

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of potential use for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diode applications due to their ultra-smooth surfaces, a consequence of their amorphous microstructure. The objective of this thesis is to design a thermally-stable AMTF capable of maintaining MIM tunnel diode performance after a post-deposition anneal in excess...

  • Development of Amorphous Metal Thin Films for Thermal Inkjet Printing and Microelectronics

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Due to a lack of grain boundaries, an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) possesses advantageous mechanical properties and enhanced chemical stability that is potentially useful for thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing applications. The use of an AMTF as a TIJ resistor or cavitation plate could lead to a thinner TIJ cavitation...

  • CMOS-Integrated Single-Element Thermal Flow Sensors

    Creator:
    Clocker, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Flow rate sensors for in situ gas or liquid monitoring typically comprise multiple transducer elements, including a heater and one or more temperature sensors to measure the rate of heat energy removal by the flowing fluid. The need for multiple transducer elements limits feasibility of shrinking these sensors to microfluidic...

  • Two dimensional numerical simulation of a non-isothermal GaAs MESFET

    Creator:
    Lin, Angela A.
    Abstract:
    The low thermal conductivity of gallium arsenide compared to silicon results in self-heating effects in GaAs MESFETs that limit the electrical performance of such devices for high power applications. To date, analytical thermal models of self heating in GaAs MESFETs are based on the assumption of a uniformly heated channel....

  • 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...

  • PRONTO : a product term reduction approach

    Creator:
    Martinez-Carballido, Jorge Francisco
    Abstract:
    Regular structures such as PLA's are very important to reduce VLSI design time. Interest in CAD tools such as a practical reducing PLA generator is high. This dissertation presents PRONTO as a practical, near-optimal product term reduction method, whose general heuristic approach consists of the following four steps. First, select...

  • Optimizing the microcode produced by a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Ma, Perng-Yi
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to develop methods to translate a certain machine independent intermediate language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a high level microprogramming language used to implement a...
