Systems Integration Using Siemens' Pc Based Automation Technology, Adwait Palsule
Systems Integration Using Siemens' Pc Based Automation Technology, Adwait Palsule
Theses
Manufacturing Systems Integration is the progressive linking and combination of the various components of the system to merge their functional and technical characteristics into a comprehensive interoperable unit. It requires one to work with different hardware and software. There are a number of vendors providing a large number of products. Integrating these varieties of products provides a greater value than the sum of the value provided by the individual products. What hinders the effective integration of these components is the diversity in the design and the use of these products. Systems Integration is eased by well-established standards in data communication, …
Polycrystalline Silicon Thermal Actuators Integrated With Photodiode, Kevin Munger
Polycrystalline Silicon Thermal Actuators Integrated With Photodiode, Kevin Munger
Theses
A thermal actuator (TA) is the thermal compliment of electrostatic actuators. A TA has several advantages over other microactuation methods. They can provide relatively large forces (^N) and large displacements (>10 jam) at CMOS compatible voltages and currents. The main disadvantage of a TA is it large power consumption. A TA can be used in basic building-block MEM devices such as stepper motors, optical-component positioners, and grippers. The TA shown below in Figure 36 converts electrical energy into mechanical via ohmic heating and deflects due to asymmetric heating. The disparity in the widths of the Cold (wide) beam and …

Analysis Of H/W & S/W Techniques For Data Reduction In High Speed Digital Image Processing, Paul Desanctis
Analysis Of H/W & S/W Techniques For Data Reduction In High Speed Digital Image Processing, Paul Desanctis
Theses
With the widespread utilization of charge-coupled-devices, there is much interest in methods to efficiently process images. The processing, manipulation, and storage of photographic quality digital images place significant demands on today's computers. Even with today's high performance bus structure and real-time operating systems, manipulating full resolution image data may quickly overwhelm computer hardware and software. In response to this, data reduction techniques have been developed to aid in resolving this problem. Two common data reduction techniques include data sub-sampling and data averaging. Data sub-sampling approach is simplistic in nature and perhaps easiest to implement in both hardware and/or software. This …
Derivation Of The Required Elements For A Definition Of The Term Middleware, Maya Mathew
Derivation Of The Required Elements For A Definition Of The Term Middleware, Maya Mathew
Theses
Thirteen contemporary definitions of Middleware were analyzed. The definitions agree that any software that can do the following should be classified as Middleware (1) provide service that provides transparent application-to-application interaction across the network, (2) act as a service provider for distributed applications, and (3) provide services that are primarily used by distributed applications (e.g., RPCs, ORBs, Directories, name-resolution services, etc.) Most definitions agree that Middleware is that level of software required to achieve platform, location, and network transparency. There is some discrepancy about the OSI levels at which middleware operates. The majority of definitions limit it to levels 5, …
