  • Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor circuits

    Creator:
    Heineck, Daniel Philip
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to indium- or gallium-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice...

  • A P-well GaAs MESFET technology

    Creator:
    Canfield, Philip C.
    Abstract:
    The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has many potential advantages over the more widely used semiconductor silicon (Si). These include higher low field mobility, semi-insulating substrates, a direct band-gap, and greater radiation hardness. All these advantages offer distinct opportunities for implementation of new circuit functions or extension of the operating conditions...

  • A Micro Scale Magnetic Particle Imaging System

    Creator:
    Lenox, Philip A.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a biomedical imaging technique which detects the presence of magnetic nanoparticles which have been introduced into the specimen prior to imaging. MPI has shown promise for real-time imaging with spatial resolution comparable to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MPI research has focused predominantly on the development...

  • Hardware-Based Security Enhancement for Near Field Communication and Other Close Proximity Inductive-Based Communication Systems

    Creator:
    Kness, Philip J.
    Abstract:
    Several hardware-based security improvements to Near Field Communication (NFC) and Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are developed and presented. The improvements are intended to be used in conjunction with software encryption to ensure robust security. Two main implementations for a more secure NFC or RFID system are presented: a jamming 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...

  • Analysis of subsynchronous resonance in power systems

    Creator:
    Zhu, Wenchun
    Abstract:
    Three aspects of Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) related problems in power systems are addressed in this dissertation which aims at contributing to a better understanding of these problems. Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) problems in series compensated steam-turbine power systems co-exist with the beneficial effects provided by the series capacitors. Since the early...

  • Drain current transient characterization of P-channel GaAs MESFET

    Creator:
    Peng, Lan L.
    Abstract:
    GaAs MESFETs are widely used in high speed integrated circuits (ICs) and microwave circuits. Due to the materials and processing methods used in GaAs MESFET fabrication, deep level traps in the substrate materials have a strong influence on device performance. In this work we used the drain current transient characterization...

  • Preliminary design of the RTAF command and control two-level parallel computing system

    Creator:
    Meesajjee, Chulit
    Abstract:
    This paper investigates the benefit of various parallel processing architectures for a Command and Control system for the Royal Thai Air Force. Parallel processing has been shown to be useful for air defense and air traffic control applications. Its advantages are examined within the constraint imposed by the available resources...

  • Nonlinear neural control with power systems applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Dingguo
    Abstract:
    Extensive studies have been undertaken on the transient stability of large interconnected power systems with flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) devices installed. Varieties of control methodologies have been proposed to stabilize the postfault system which would otherwise eventually lose stability without a proper control. Generally speaking, regular transient stability is...

  • Program allocation for hypercube based dataflow systems

    Creator:
    Freytag, Vincent R.
    Abstract:
    The dataflow model of computation differs from the traditional control-flow model of computation in that it does not utilize a program counter to sequence instructions in a program. Instead, the execution of instructions is based solely on the availability of their operands. Thus, an instruction is executed in a dataflow...
