  • Design and modeling of low-power register file memories

    Creator:
    Donkoh, Eric Kwesi
    Abstract:
    With the evolving popularity of new computing platforms such as Ultrabooks, Tablets, and Smart Phones, and the shift to multi-core computing, power is now the key performance limiter, a departure from the traditional frequency limitation. As such, increasingly low-power design solutions feature prominently in early architectural and design space exploration...

  • Resolution enhancement of analog-to-digital converters through computationally simple digital filtering

    Creator:
    Zahl, Eric L.
    Abstract:
    The resolution of analog-to-digital converters can be distinguished as absolute resolution, or average resolution. This study reviews average resolution enhancement techniques and proposes a method which is particularly applicable as a low-cost modification to a high-speed waveform acquisition system. This method uses oversampling combined with computationally simple digital filtering to...

  • Amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor ring oscillators and material assessment

    Creator:
    Sundholm, Eric Steven
    Abstract:
    Amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) constitute the central theme of this thesis. Within this theme, three primary areas of focus are pursued. The first focus is the realization of a transparent three-stage ring oscillator with buffered output and an output frequency in the megahertz range. This leads to...

  • Nontraditional amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor fabrication

    Creator:
    Sundholm, Eric Steven
    Abstract:
    Fabrication techniques and process integration considerations for amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) constitute the central theme of this dissertation. Within this theme three primary areas of focus are pursued. The first focus involves formulating a general framework for assessing passivation. Avoiding formation of an undesirable backside accumulation layer...

  • Image features and learning algorithms for biological, generic and social object recognition

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wei
    Abstract:
    Automated recognition of object categories in images is a critical step for many real-world computer vision applications. Interest region detectors and region descriptors have been widely employed to tackle the variability of objects in pose, scale, lighting, texture, color, and so on. Different types of object recognition problems usually require...

  • Design of a mini-computer controlled digital integrated circuit tester

    Creator:
    Fasang, Patrick Pad, 1941-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct, program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted to digital integrated circuits. The general concept of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on the truth table of that circuit. A combination...

  • Comparison of Direct Drive Hydraulic and Dual-Stator Spoke Array Vernier Permanent Magnet Machines For Ocean Wave Energy Conversion

    Creator:
    Azam, Ridwan
    Abstract:
    Recently, there has been peaked interest in developing high energy producing and optimized power take-off topologies for Wave Energy Converters (WEC). As large as the potential of the oceans may seem, harnessing that energy and effectively converting it to electricity in significant amounts is a challenge. Currently, there are no...

  • Passive health monitoring with wirelessly powered medical devices

    Creator:
    House, Samuel
    Abstract:
    The proliferation of body worn autometric devices has been enabled by advances in low-power electronics and fueled by the quantified-self movement. These devices range in complexity from pedometers to clinical vital sign measurement. They all share the same drawback, typically the most expensive and heaviest component, the battery. The future...

  • On the design, modeling, and testing of ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Bosma, Bret
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy converter technology continues to advance and new developers continue to emerge, leading to the need for a general design, modeling, and testing methodology. This work presents a development of the process of taking a wave energy converter from a concept to the prototype stage. A two body...

  • Imepdance Sensing Techniques for Integrated Circuits Sensor Applications

    Creator:
    Shen, Boyu
    Abstract:
    Impedance measurements are increasingly demanded in modern CMOS sensing systems as impedance is the most common electrical signal obtained from sensors, delivering physical, chemical and biomedical quantity changes. Impedance sensing for wide interested frequency, broad dynamic range, and various sensor interfaces has numerous challenges, especially targeted in CMOS miniaturization with...
