  • Duty-cycle controlled switched resistor techniques for continuously tunable, low-voltage circuits

    Creator:
    Kurahashi, Peter
    Abstract:
    A duty-cycle controlled switched resistor is a tunable resistive element that uses pulse width modulation as the method of tuning. This thesis will describe the operation of switched resistors and propose several circuit architectures that are well suited to the use of switched resistors. These architectures include filters, mixers, and...

  • Weather influence on Loran-C

    Creator:
    Graulich, Markus Günter
    Abstract:
    The influence of weather on the long range radio navigation system Loran-C was investigated. The variables analyzed over a period of 255 days were: time differences (TDs), TD signal-to-noise ratios, TD standard deviations (measured at a fixed receiver location in Corvallis, Oregon), time interval numbers (TINOs) (measured at the transmitter...

  • The implementation of a control and development program for a local area network (LAN)

    Creator:
    Norton, Peter S.
    Abstract:
    Rapid advances in technology have seen computing move from a large central computer to desktop microcomputers. This advance was also seen in the design of dedicated computers, computers designed to perform a few specialized tasks or duties. These computers, or microcontrollers, are often controlled by a central computer and themselves...

  • A computer simulation model of land use dynamics in the State of Oregon

    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...

  • Analog integrated circuit design using GaAs C-HFETs

    Creator:
    Gupta, Rakhee
    Abstract:
    Present day data processing technology requires very high speed signal processing and data conversion rates. One such application which requires high speed is switched capacitor circuits used in Sigma-Delta modulators. A major active component of switched capacitor circuits is the monolithic operational amplifier(opamp). Because of the relatively poor speed performance...

  • LORAN-C receiver position estimation from noisy time-difference data

    Creator:
    Weisshaar, Andreas
    Abstract:
    In order to analyze the accuracy of the navigation system LORAN-C, we have collected time - difference (TD) data from the U.S. west coast chain (9940) at a fixed receiver location (Corvallis, Oregon). The analysis of the TD data shows an unexpected high correlation between the TDs as well as...

  • A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Hogan, Peter M.
    Abstract:
    Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...

  • High efficiency delta-sigma modulation data converters

    Creator:
    Lee, Kyehyung
    Abstract:
    Enabled by continued device scaling in CMOS technology, more and more functions that were previously realized in separate chips are getting integrated on a single chip nowadays. Integration on silicon has opened the door to new portable wireless applications, and initiated a widespread use of these devices in our common...

  • Liquid crystal thermography : a new system for breast cancer detection

    Creator:
    Bichara, Kamal Fouad
    Abstract:
    A liquid crystal thermographic technique was developed for application to several problems in clinical medicine and physiology. The procedure was inexpensive, rapid, simple, versatile and acceptable to patients. Investigators in the past have used cholesteric liquid crystals for thermography but their use was limited to research in the medical field...

  • A programmable network interface unit for hybrid meshnet local area networks

    Creator:
    Merchant, Shashank C.
    Abstract:
    A Hybrid Meshnet LAN, a new local area network architecture, has been proposed by Dr. Cheoul-Shin Kang and Dr. James Herzog. It provides for distributed control hybrid architecture which is good for effective load sharing under various local area network environments. Hybrid Meshnet has a dual channel structure, a token...
