  • 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...

  • Wireless Microwave Sensing in Environmental and Biomedical Applications

    Creator:
    Uluer, Ismail Hakki
    Abstract:
    This dissertation studies two different wireless microwave sensing applications in the subjects of environmental monitoring and biomedical devices. The environmental sensing application presents a design of novel wireless sensor node configurations. These nodes are intended to be used specifically in a built environment of railroad track ballast for its health...

  • Wind ramp prediction

    Creator:
    Alexander, Chianna M.
    Abstract:
    The number of wind turbines and wind farms in the Pacific Northwest has increased dramatically in the past six years, which represents a significant amount of electrical generation capacity connected to the public electric grid. However, the variable nature of wind sometimes introduces excessive power, or conversely shortages, in power...

  • Wide stripe, high power diode lasers

    Creator:
    Parson, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    Typical power outputs of commercially available diode lasers are on the order of 5 milliwatts. This thesis discusses the growth, processing and fabrication of high power (lOO's of milliwatts) diode lasers. Devices were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). The MOCVD diode...

  • Weak-supervision Time-series Analysis

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications. Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks. To predict future...

  • Variable sampling compensation of networked control systems with delays using neural networks

    Creator:
    Lopez-Echevarria, Daniel
    Abstract:
    In networked control systems (NCS) information or packets usually flow from a sensor or a set of sensors to a remotely located controller. Then the controller processes the received information and sends a series of control commands to the actuators through a communication network which could be either wireless or...

  • Use of a model predictive control framework for optimal control of grid scale electrical energy storage in conjunction with a wind farm

    Creator:
    Antonishen, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade, wind penetration in the Pacific Northwest has increased rapidly. The variable nature of this massive new resource has increased stress on the hydropower resource to the point where system limits are currently being reached. In order to cultivate continued growth of the wind energy industry both...

  • Ultra-wideband indoor localization systems

    Creator:
    Ye, Ruiqing
    Abstract:
    Indoor localization systems have a variety of applications such as tracking of assets, indoor robot navigation, and monitoring of people (e.g. patients) in hospitals or at home. Global positioning system (GPS) offers location accuracy of several meters and is mainly used for outdoor location-based applications as its accuracy degrades significantly...

  • Ultra low voltage DRAM current sense amplifier with body bias techniques

    Creator:
    Gang, Yung-jin, 1957-
    Abstract:
    The major limiting factor of DRAM access time is the low transconductance of the MOSFET's which have only limited current drive capability. The bipolar junction transistor(BJT) has a collector current amplification factor, β, times base current and is limited mostly by the willingness to supply this base current. This collector...

  • Ultra low capacitance RFIC probe

    Creator:
    Jacob, Michael E.
    Abstract:
    In Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) or high frequency digital ICs, there is a demand to probe the internal nodes for testing. The ultra low capacitance RFIC probe presented in his work is a flexible tool for these applications. The probe utilizes the coupling between a tungsten needle and the...
