The purpose of this report is to provide information on the adjustable-speed coupling system (ASCS) including: physical construction, principles of operation, application potential, and laboratory and field test results. In addition, comparison laboratory tests will be presented for conventional adjustable speed drives (ASDs). The ASCS has been tested at three...
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...
The matrix inversion is an interesting topic in algebra mathematics. However, to determine an inverse matrix from a given matrix is required many computation tools and time resource if the size of matrix is huge. In this paper, we have shown an inverse closed form for an interesting matrix which...
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...
The purpose of this research is to develop methods to
translate a certain machine independent intermediate
language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a
class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been
developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a
high level microprogramming language used to implement a...
The problems involved in measuring noise on video signals are
described. A brief review of several methods that have been used for
video signal noise measurement is followed by a detailed explanation
of the comparison technique. This technique is based on the principle
that noise sources with different spectral content,...
This paper investigates the benefit of various parallel processing
architectures for a Command and Control system for the Royal
Thai Air Force. Parallel processing has been shown to be useful
for air defense and air traffic control applications. Its advantages
are examined within the constraint imposed by the available
resources...
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...
