  • Modeling spintronics devices in Verilog-A for use with industry-standard simulation tools

    Creator:
    Engelbrecht, Linda M.
    Abstract:
    As the semiconductor industry works to integrate increasingly more "non-CMOS" devices onto CMOS ICs, compact model development has become an important step in the circuit/system verification tool flow. This research focuses on the two- and three-dimensional modeling of the physical phenomena that occur in nanoscale magnetic devices. This includes the...

  • A DAC and comparator for a 100MHz decision feedback equalization loop

    Creator:
    Engelbrecht, Linda M.
    Abstract:
    Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) in a data recovery channel filters the bit decision in the current symbol period in generating the sample at the comparator in the subsequent clock period. The operations of sampling, comparing, filtering the decision bits into a feedback signal, and subtraction of that feedback signal are...

  • Adaptive model-based motion estimation

    Creator:
    Crinon, Regis
    Abstract:
    A general discrete-time, adaptive, multidimensional framework is introduced for estimating the motion of one or several object features from their successive non-linear projections on an image plane. The motion model consists of a set of linear difference equations with parameters estimated recursively from a non-linear observation equation. The model dimensionality...

  • Low-cost deposition methods for transparent thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Norris, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this dissertation is to introduce low-cost processing methods for the fabrication of ZnO transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). A novel method for depositing ZnO body layers via spin-coating of a zinc nitrate-based spin solution is presented. The processing conditions of spin-coated ZnO are optimized to produce continuous and...

  • Performance monitoring of parallel applications at large grain level

    Creator:
    Yadav, Anil Kumar
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an attempt to create a methodology to analyze the performance of parallel applications on a wide variety of platforms and programming environments. First we determined the monitoring functions required to collect traces for accurate representation of the parallel application. We used the Extended Large Grain Data Flow...

  • Resiliency of United States Power Grids to Inclement Weather Conditions

    Creator:
    Trevis, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    The United States depends on the electrical grid infrastructure for nearly every facet of its operation. Understanding how inclement weather affects the reliability of the grid and what the U.S. is doing to ensure its resiliency will be a key step moving forward into the 21st century as global climate...

  • Surface-Enhanced Infrared Absorption Gas Sensing Incorporating Advanced Plasmonic Nanostructures and Nano-Composite Materials

    Creator:
    Chong, Xinyuan
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on extending the application scope of surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy to gas sensing. The method we propose is incorporating plasmonic nanostructures with nano-composite material, metalorganic framework, which can selectively preconcentrate certain gas molecules into the nanopores. The preconcentrating property is first demonstrated by applying metal-organic framework...

  • Pattern recognition of speech using hybrid computer feature extraction

    Creator:
    Herr, Alan Jack
    Abstract:
    Most technological problems associated with man-machine conversations have been solved and are well documented in both the contemporary technical and lay literature. The major remaining technological problem is the real time conversion of a human's vocal uterances into a "written" phoneme sequence representing the information content of speech. The work...

    Creator:
    Calligan, C. C.
    Abstract:
    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...
