  • Hot carrier degradation of sub-micron n-channel MOSFETs subject to static stress

    Creator:
    Aminzadeh, Payman G.
    Abstract:
    Hot carrier effects in sub-micron lightly doped drain (LDD) n-channel MOSFETs under static (DC) stress are studied in order to establish the degradation mechanisms of such devices. Degradation is monitored as a function of time at various gate voltages. Under accelerated aging conditions (i.e. large drain voltages) the gate voltage...

  • Implementation of display control node for a distributed microcontroller network

    Creator:
    Xu, Yan, 1954-
    Abstract:
    As hardware becomes cheaper and cheaper, there is an increasing interest in the implementation of distributed control networks with microcontrollers. Such networks are usually inexpensive and of high performance. In this thesis work, a low-cost display control unit for COLAN, a control-oriented network, is designed. The system is based on...

  • A tunable duty-cycle-controlled switched-R-MOSFET-C CMOS filter for low-voltage and high-linearity applications

    Creator:
    Xiao, Ying
    Abstract:
    A novel switched-R-MOSFET-C input branch is proposed for low-voltage and high-linearity applications. The tunability is achieved by varying the clock duty cycle using an automatic tuning circuit. This tuning method does not involve a change in gate voltage, and is therefore particularly suitable for low-voltage applications. The advantages of the...

  • Compartmental analysis of the immune system

    Creator:
    Lawrence, Karen
    Abstract:
    A compartmental model of the immune system is simulated. Chapter I discusses the importance of such a model, reviews past immune system models, and summaries the immunological theory the model is based upon. In Chapter II, the compartmental representation of the immune system is developed from immunological and physiological theory....

  • Conditionally Gaussian processes in stochastic control theory

    Creator:
    Kolodziej, Wojciech Jan
    Abstract:
    An application of the theory of conditionally Gaussian random processes to filtering and stochastic control problems is presented here. The results due to Liptser and Shiryayev are proved to hold in the multidimensional case under somewhat relaxed conditions, when compared to the original ones. Such a generalization is required from...

  • Parameter and volterra-kernel estimation of bilinear systems

    Creator:
    Baheti, Radhakisan Sohanlal
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Bilinear control processes with application to immunology

    Creator:
    Hsu, Chin-Shung
    Abstract:
    As a significant class of nonlinear systems, bilinear systems (BLS) are extensively developed in the past years. In addition to their advantages over linear systems which are often not adequate to represent accurately many control processes, the BLS are particularly appealing in modeling biological systems in which parametric controls are...

  • Bilinear system model of the action potential of a single neuron

    Creator:
    Yahiaoui, Youcef
    Abstract:
    Neurons are characterized by an electric potential which is established between their inside and outside media. They exhibit specific voltage fluctuations, in response to strong enough current impulses, called action potentials. In this work, a bang-bang controlled bilinear system (BLS) is derived to approximate the generation of a simple neuron's...

  • Functional expansions in bilinear system analysis

    Creator:
    Karanam, Veerabhadra Rao
    Abstract:
    Bilinear systems, encountered in many important applications of engineering, biological and socio-economic systems, represent the logical step in complexity between the linear systems which are inadequate in the modeling of various dynamic processes and the difficult realm of nonlinear systems. This dissertation studies two functional expansions in bilinear system analysis-...
