  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Nonsymmetrical coupled microstrip lines for applications as ideal directional couplers

    Creator:
    Emery, Timothy R.
    Abstract:
    A variational integral method in the Fourier transform domain is used to calculate the characteristic normal mode parameters of a coupled pair of nonsymmetrical microstrip transmission lines in an inhomogenous dielectric medium under quasi-TEM conditions. These together with the theory of such structures are used to show that ideal directional...

  • Crowdsourcing via Pairwise Co-occurrences: Identifiability and Algorithms

    Creator:
    Ibrahim, Shahana
    Abstract:
    Crowdsourcing is a popular paradigm to address the high demands for labeled data in big data deluge. It aims to produce accurate labels by effectively integrating noisy, non-expert labeling from crowdsourced workers (annotators). The machine learning community has been studying effective crowdsourcing methods for many years, and many models and...

  • 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...

  • Electrically tunable thin-film inductors based on synthetic antiferromagnet cores

    Creator:
    An, Na
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing electrically tunable on-chip inductors based on synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) cores. This thin film magnetic core is made of a magnetic bi-layer antiferromagnetically coupled through a nonmagnetic spacer layer. An energy model is developed to investigate the magnetic behavior...

  • Impacts of Prediction on Wave Energy Converter Control

    Creator:
    Comard, Colin Q.
    Abstract:
    Ocean waves provide a promising source of renewable energy for the North American electric grid. However, ideal control of wave energy converters (WECs) requires perfect forecasting of future wave conditions, and waves can be unpredictable. This paper presents a comparison of three different prediction methods and analyzes their performance in...

  • A subranging analog to digital converter using four bit pipepline

    Creator:
    Press, Stephen E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the design of a 10 bit Analog to Digital Converter which consists of a 6 bit flash followed by a 4 bit pipeline architecture. The total system is described and the 4 bit pipeline is implemented on a bipolar process. The objective of this research is to...

  • An Anthology of Next-Generation WSNs and Transformative IoT Use-Cases

    Creator:
    Williams, Jennifer M.
    Abstract:
    The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm brought an ever-increasing dependence on low-power devices to collect sensor data and transmit that information to the cloud, placing greater demand on connectivity and lifespan. In response, rapid worldwide innovation demonstrates the trade-offs in processing, communication, and energy consumption with diverse approaches to low-power...
