  • Improved design techniques for analog and mixed circuits

    Creator:
    Nishida, Yoshio
    Abstract:
    Although the digital revolution can realize many of past analog components in the digital forms, our world is surrounded with analog signals such as voice, temperature, etc. The bridge between these two worlds is one of key performance limitations among overall systems and it includes analog filters and data converters....

  • Active learning with committees : an approach to efficient learning in text categorization using linear threshold algorithms

    Creator:
    Liere, Ray
    Abstract:
    We developed and investigated machine learning methods that require minimal preprocessing of the input data, use few training examples, run fast, and still obtain high levels of accuracy. Most approaches to designing machine learning programs are based on the supervised learning paradigm – training examples are chosen randomly and given...

  • Implementation of a Java Graphical User Interface for the Visual Programming Language Forms/3

    Creator:
    Hackenyos, David P.
    Abstract:
    The visual programming language Forms/3 currently uses a graphical user interface implemented in Garnet. Garnet was developed by the User Interface Software Group in the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, but is no longer supported. This paper presents an implementation of a user interface for Forms/3 written...

  • Layered rendering model for human teeth

    Creator:
    Shetty, Sudarshanram
    Abstract:
    This study introduces a layered model for rendering human teeth. Human teeth exhibit complex light interaction due to their layered structure. While the lighting responses of teeth have been studied in the dental industry for the production of realistic looking dentures, to our knowledge this is the first study of...

  • On shortest disjoint paths and Hamiltonian cycles in some interconnection networks

    Creator:
    Hussain, Zaid
    Abstract:
    Parallel processors are classified into two classes: shared-memory multiprocessors and distributed- memory multiprocessors. In the shared-memory system, processors communicate through a common memory unit. However, in the distributed multiprocessor system, each processor has its own memory unit and the communications among the processors are performed through an interconnection network. Thus,...

  • Development of a passive micro-ball valve

    Creator:
    Wangwatcharakul, Worawut
    Abstract:
    A novel design, material, and fabrication method are presented to fabricate a passive micro-ball valve. Microvalves are critical components in microflow control devices used to control the fluid flows in microchannels. These microflow control devices can be integrated with microsensors to form micro analysis systems. Glass/silicon-based fabrication is complicated and...

  • Some contributions to asymmetric error control codes

    Creator:
    Elmougy, Samir
    Abstract:
    In some practical systems, most of the errors are of 1 → 0 type and 0 → 1 errors occur very rarely. In this thesis, first, the capacity of the asymmetric channel is derived. The capacity of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) and the Z-channel can be derived from this...

  • Topology independent transmission scheduling algorithms in mobile ad hoc networks

    Creator:
    Youn, Jong-Hoon
    Abstract:
    Due to the rapid growth of wireless technology, there has been a growing interest in the capabilities of ad hoc networks connecting mobile phones, PDAs and laptop computers. The distributed and self-configurable capabilities of ad hoc networks make them very attractive for some applications such as tactical communication for military,...

  • Signed Digit Representation of Numbers

    Creator:
    Venkatachalapathy, Savithri
    Abstract:
    "A non-redundant number system has the digit set limited ranging from 0 to radix -1. While the Signed digit numbers have digit set consisting of more than radix r values. Hence it is also called redundant number system. Furthermore, the advantage of redundant number system lies in its application for...

  • A methodology for real-time scheduling of jobs with splitting on unrelated parallel machines

    Creator:
    Subur, Fenny
    Abstract:
    Unrelated parallel machines are machines that perform the same function but have different capacity or capability. Thus, the processing time of each job would be different on machines of different types. The scheduling environment considered is dynamic in both job release time and machine availability. Additionally, each job considered can...
