  • Taskmaster II, a versatile distributed system for control

    Creator:
    Schaal, Hans-Werner
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses a special type of a versatile, distributed control system, the Taskmaster II. It includes a detailed specification of a readily realizable Taskmaster system utilizing a layered communication among units, oriented on the ISO OSI seven layer model. The specification was developed from the analysis of previous research...

  • Adaptive methods for robust commercial vehicle control

    Creator:
    Junell, Jaime L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the implementation of learning based control with predictive cruise control and the potential this technology has for increasing fuel efficiency while keeping on a well maintained schedule for commercial trucks. Traditional cruise control is wasteful when maintaining a constant velocity over rolling hills. Predictive cruise control is...

  • Design of high-speed summing circuitry and comparator for adaptive parallel multi-level decision feedback equalization

    Creator:
    Gao, Hairong
    Abstract:
    Multi-level decision feedback equalization (MDFE) is an effective sampled signal processing technique to remove inter-symbol interference (ISI) from disk read-back signals. Parallelism which doubles the symbol rate can be realized by utilizing the characteristic of channel response and decision feedback equalization algorithm. A mixed-signal IC implementation has been chosen for...

  • Implementation of an Ethernet Local Area Network board for the MacIntosh II system

    Creator:
    Yoo, Tae-On
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to design and to implement a practical Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) board for the Macintosh II computer system. A survey of the literature provided a general definition of LANs, a reference model for network layers, specifications for an Ethernet LAN, and information on...

  • Design and simulation of a simple digital computer central processing unit using computer-aided design software on a personal computer

    Creator:
    Lee, Seung Min
    Abstract:
    Computers have made a great contribution to the design process in various applications, such as design analysis and simulation. A new technology called Computer-aided design (CAD) has helped the designer to design and build very intricate systems. While most of CAD software is run on workstations or microcomputers with one...

  • Comparison of two microvalve designs fabricated in mild steel using microprojection welding and capacitive dissociation

    Creator:
    Terhaar, Tyson J.
    Abstract:
    Since the dawn of the computer age, there has been a push to create miniature devices. These devices were initially integrated circuit (IC) devices to perform calculations for computers. As the technology progressed, the scope of the devices diverged to included microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices, meaning that the devices perform mechanical...

  • Industrial power system faults

    Creator:
    Badr, Ahmad Mohamad Amin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to represent and calculate unsymmetrical secondary faults on a grounded wye-to-delta transformer bank. This thesis is specifically concerned with the secondary connections often encountered in industrial installations. Faults on these systems have not been adequately investigated. Three types of faults are considered, namely: 1....

  • Reliable controller design for systems with transients

    Creator:
    Feng, Lei
    Abstract:
    Reliable controller designs have been developed in this thesis for a number of finite-horizon and infinite-horizon problems with possibly non-zero initial conditions. These reliable controllers assure that system stability and system performance will be maintained despite certain system faults. The performance measure used in this thesis is an "H[subscript ∞]-like...

  • The use of electrochemical micromachining for making a microfloat valve

    Creator:
    Park, Sang-Bin
    Abstract:
    Micromanufacturing consists of processes for producing structures, devices or systems with feature sizes measured in micrometers. Micromanufacturing began in the mid-1960's with microelectronics fabrication technology. In the 1980's, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) began to be developed, in which electrical and mechanical subsystems were integrated at small scales. More recently, Microtechnology-based Energy...
