The purpose of this study was to supply information
that would help improve typing courses by identifying
successful skillbuilding practices and to provide students
with a means of increasing speed and/or accuracy during
timed writings. More specifically, the purpose of this
study was to answer the question:
Does the previewing...
CP1100/GPIB Interface is an interface between the "General
Purpose Interface Bus", which is an implementation of the Universal
Bus described in IEEE Standard 488-1975, and Unibus. This interface
enables TEKTRONIX CP1100 series controllers to operate
GPIB- compatible instruments connected to the General Purpose
Interface Bus. The designer can now incorporate...
A short history is given of cathode-ray tubes, from the
earliest laboratory tubes available during the early 1900's through
present day high performance tubes. Special attention is paid to
the development of post-deflection acceleration types especially
band-type PDA tubes and an improvement on that type known as the
helix-type PDA...
This thesis is concerned with the design of a speech recognition
system to recognize digits 1, 2, 3 and 4. The system was designed
by using the characteristics of the spectral patterns of amplitude vs.
time at discrete frequencies. Data obtained for digits 0 to 9 are presented.
The outputs...
This thesis is a development of two sets of equations predicting the switching times of a saturated transistor. The first set of equations defines the rise, storage, and fall times at a single operating point where the transistor beta, cutoff frequency and collector capacitance are known. The second set of...
The purpose of this study was to provide information
pertaining to performance levels of Dvorak keyboard operators
through retraining. More specifically, the purposes of
this study were:
1. To compare operator performance rates on the
Dvorak keyboard with operator performance
rates on the Qwerty keyboard.
2. To determine whether keyboard...
A fluorescence anisotropy spectrophotometer known by
the acronym GUS has been in use at Oregon State University
in the department of biochemistry and biophysics for
several years under the supervision of Dr. Irvin Isenberg.
Dr. Isenberg wished to improve the accuracy, versatility,
speed of data acquisition, and ease of operation...
This paper is concerned with the application of
hierarchial and parallel computing structures to digital
data communications processing in a multi-access telecommunications
environment. Designs are analyzed and
evaluated in terms of data collected from remote access
tele-communications traffic and in terms of the application
to several processing problems in the...
Engineering students spend a significant amount of their undergraduate careers focused on technical theory and practice. This intensive student prepares them for their technical challenges in the future. This training is so intense that often the more 'soft skills' such as communication, leadership, design, and troubleshooting are left out or...
