Sequential switching circuits are commonly classified as being either synchronous or asynchronous. Clock pulses synchronize the operations of the synchronous circuit. The operation of an asynchronous circuit is usually assumed to be independent of such clocks. The operating speed of an asynchronous circuit is thus limited only by basic device speed. One disadvantage of asynchronous circuit design has been the complexity of the synthesis procedures for large circuits.

Dynamic Capacitance Of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors, Marion Wendell Tucker
Masters Theses
"A transient peak was observed for MOSFET devices when measuring the dynamic capacitance versus applied gate voltage for various configurations at low frequencies. This peak is absent in conventional steady-state ac measurements. Since the peak is also absent in high grade devices and at high frequencies a possible explanation in terms of surface state traps is discussed for the observed phenomena"--Abstract, page ii.
Synchronization Of Pulse Code Modulation Telemetry, Lawrence J. Mueller
Synchronization Of Pulse Code Modulation Telemetry, Lawrence J. Mueller
Masters Theses
"Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is one of the most widely utilized radio telemetry techniques for the recovery of test data from aerospace vehicles. Synchronization of the receiver with the transmitted data is perhaps the prime requisite of a PCM telemetry system. In this paper the frame synchronization process is analyzed by developing equations which define the three modes of synchronizer operation (SEARCH, VERIFY, and LOCK) in terms of the relative probabilities of operation. The criteria employed to optimize the synchronization process are the mean time to acquire true synchronization, the probability of true synchronization after verification of the synchronization decision, …

An Intragastric Ph And Motility Monitoring And Automatic Titration System, Barry Foster Maycock
Masters Theses
"Knowledge of the effects of prolonged states of weightlessness on the physiological activities of gastric motility and acid secretion will aid in the planning of future space flights, since aberrations in these activities could affect the performance of astronauts. Investigation of these activities requires monitoring of the pressure and pH in the stomach and titration of the gastric contents. Since previous methods and equipment used for performing these functions are inadequate for this investigation, the equipment whose design and operation are discussed in this thesis was developed. This equipment includes an ingestible sensor capsule which is tethered in the stomach, …

A Direct Method Of Measuring Stray Load Loss In Dc Machines, Kanaiyalal R. Shah, George Mcpherson
A Direct Method Of Measuring Stray Load Loss In Dc Machines, Kanaiyalal R. Shah, George Mcpherson
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Stray load loss in dc machines is denned as the difference between the actual loss under load and the well-recognized loss. This paper describes a simple, reliable, and direct method of measuring this loss by means of a proposed short-circuit test with a correction factor for uncompensated-type dc machines. It also describes the sources and components of stray load losses as they occur under short-circuit test. Copyright © 1968 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
A Simple Design Algorithm For Synthesis Of Multilevel Combinational Networks, James H. Tracey
A Simple Design Algorithm For Synthesis Of Multilevel Combinational Networks, James H. Tracey
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
An algorithm is presented for the synthesis of combinational networks with a constrained arrangement of ANDS, ORS, NANDS, NORS, and inverters. The algorithm is easily presented to students in an introductory logic design course and has considerable application in modern practical logic design. Many texts available for a first course in logic design give very limited practical guidance for synthesis of networks under constraints outlined here. It is suggested that the algorithm presented here be furnished as supplementary material in the introductory course. Copyright © 1968 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.

Recombination Statistics For Neutron Bombarded Silicon Transistors, M. C. Chow, J. L. Azarewiczt, C. A. Goben
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper presents a recombination statistical model for the neutron-induced base current component reported previously. The derivation was based on the following: 1) the current equation for the induced current component developed previously; 2) the Shockley-Read-Hall statistics for holes and electrons; and 3) the recombination statistics derived by Sah, Noyce and Shockley for sites in the bulk space-charge region. The recombination statistics model depends on the diffusion potential, the junction voltage, the activation energy, temperature, and the ratio of capture cross-sections for holes and electrons. The utility of such a recombination statistical model is illustrated by using measured parameters to …

Radiation And Annealing Characteristics Of Neutron Bombarded Silicon Transistors, L. S. Su, G. E. Gassner, C. A. Goben
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Operating a silicon planar epitaxial transistor in the inverse configuration allows one to demonstrate clearly the importance of the neutron-induced base current component and its degradation of the emitter efficiency, and, because of the much larger depletion layer, to compute a volume dependent damage constant applicable to all silicon p-n junctions. The importance of minimizing the absolute change versus relative change in radiation hardening studies is clearly illustrated. Surface effects were found to be significant for transistors mounted in gas-filled cans. The diffusion potential was predicted, on theoretical grounds, to vary with neutron fluence, and the theory was experimentally confirmed. …
Electric Field Investigations And A Model For Electrical Liquid Spraying, Wallace E. Deshon, Ralph S. Carson
Electric Field Investigations And A Model For Electrical Liquid Spraying, Wallace E. Deshon, Ralph S. Carson
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The equation generally used for determining the electric field at the liquid tip in electrical spraying of liquids was originally derived for determining the electric field around a metal tip in the extraction of electrons from metals. In the present paper experimental data were taken at the instant of spraying to determine the validity of using this equation for liquid tips. the results indicate that the value of electric field given by this equation needs to be increased by about 20% in the normal range of operation. A model for the spraying mechanism of the liquid is also presented. © …

Distributed Parameter Rc Network Analysis, Robert C. Peirson
Doctoral Dissertations
"Methods of analyzing uniform and tapered distribute [sic] parameter RC networks are reviewed and correlated in this dissertation. Multilayer networks and simple three layer networks are considered. Analogies between two-wire transmission line theory and multilayer distributed network theory are developed, i.e., standing wave and traveling wave concepts. An accurate computer-aided steady state analysis procedure is presented which has a solution accuracy that can be determined prior to actual analysis computations. The impulsive response of the uniform RC network is investigated with the goal of measuring the network's parameters. Procedures to determine the parameters R and C of a uniform RC …

Recombination Statistics For The Neutron-Induced Base Current Component, Ming-Chwan Chow
Doctoral Dissertations
"This paper presents a derivation of the recombination statistical model for the neutron-induced base current component. The derivation was based on the assumptions: 1) the current equation for the induced current component developed by Goben is valid; 2) the Shockley-Read-Hall statistics for holes and electrons are applicable; and 3) the recombination statistics derived by Sah, Noyce and Shockley, for sites in the bulk space-charge region are valid. Several examples were presented to emphasize accuracy of this derived model for predictions. This paper shows that the recombination process may be described by a mathematical model, recombination statistics which depend on the …

An Intensity Regulation System For A Monochromator, David A. Wayne
An Intensity Regulation System For A Monochromator, David A. Wayne
Masters Theses
"In the investigation of phenomena involving both optical intensity and wavelength, an instrument is often desired which allows one of the quantities to be held constant while the other is varied. A relatively inexpensive system is described which utilizes a commercial grating monochromator and external feedback electronics to regulate the output intensity as the wavelength is varied. In this system, a sample of the output intensity is taken by a photosensor with known spectral response. The output of the photosensor is then compared electronically with that of a pre-programmed function generator which cancels nonlinearities in the photo-sensor. The resulting signal …
Radar Waveform Synthesis By Mean-Square Optimization Techniques, John D. Wolf
Radar Waveform Synthesis By Mean-Square Optimization Techniques, John D. Wolf
Masters Theses
"The ambiguity function is derived and its properties useful to radar waveform analysis are investigated. Synthesis of the phase-modulated waveform whose ambiguity function is the minimum mean-square estimate of some desired ambiguity function is accomplished by expanding the phase modulation function in an orthogonal series. The ambiguity function, defined as a magnitude, and the value of an arbitrary cost functional defined on the ([tau],wd) plane is then expressed in terms of the coefficients of the orthogonal series. thus, the "optimum" waveform can be determined by solving the variational equations for the coefficients. Numerical examples are presented for the …

A Study Of A Model-Referenced Adaptive Control System, James William Graham
Masters Theses
"A model-referenced adaptive controller for a first-order plant with time-varying parameters is developed using Lyapunov's second method. The system is studied with the aid of analogue computer simulation and an oscillatory mode is encountered. A method of reducing the oscillations by addition of a compensating network is proposed. The compensation is obtained through the use of linearization and root locus techniques. The compensated system shows a much improved error response over the original system"--Abstract, page ii.

Transient Response Of A Class Of Distributed Systems, Jaw-Shyong Tzeng
Masters Theses
"The transient response of uniform distributed systems with any transfer function that is rational in w=e[square root of Ts] can be analyzed with the basic form of the transfer function [1 over (w-a)] after partial fraction expansion, where the pole a can be real or complex in the w plane. with the complex pole within the stable region in the w plane, there are only two possible combinations of the basic transfer function [1 over (w-a)], i.e. [1 over (w-a)] ł [1 over (w-a*)], for physical realizability. The imaginary part of the transient response of the basic transfer function [1 …
Waveform Distortion Caused By A Plasma Sheath, James R. Carl
Waveform Distortion Caused By A Plasma Sheath, James R. Carl
Masters Theses
"A short burst of electromagnetic energy that propagates into and through a plasma medium can react with the plasma medium in several different ways depending on both the characteristics of the plasma and of the pulse. This thesis derives approximations for the plasma transfer function at low pressure (high altitude) and at high pressure (low altitude). The mechanisms that can change the shape of a waveform, in general, are dispersion and breakdown. dispersive distortion at low altitude is shown to exist for electron concentrations well above the resonant concentration for plasma sheaths that are thin compared to one wavelength. Several …

Masters Theses
"The simulators described in this paper allow checkout of the electrical control circuitry of pyrotechnic and related devices where the actual testing of the devices would be destructive. A simulator is described that is superior to the units now available for test purposes. Solid state components are used exclusively and hence it is very light weight and reliable. It is portable and requires no external power for indication of the control circuitry performance. The simulator presents a load that is adjustable between one and five ohms for a controlled length of time from one to one hundred milliseconds. Transients will …
Design Of A Sequential Detector, Scott William Abel
Design Of A Sequential Detector, Scott William Abel
Masters Theses
"The communication engineer has in the past treated the detection problem from a limited point of view. Detectors have been designed to reach a decision based on a specified number of samples. This approach has proved valuable, but it offers no provisions for an early decision if a conclusion becomes obvious early in the sampling. Neither is there an opportunity for additional sampling if necessary to reach a definite conclusion, because of these limitations it is desirable to find more general detectors. This study looks at a specific statistics (the sign test) and designs a sequential detector to utilize this …

A Simulation Of The Transistor By Computer Using The Linvill Diffusion Model, Clifford D. Skouby
A Simulation Of The Transistor By Computer Using The Linvill Diffusion Model, Clifford D. Skouby
Masters Theses
"This investigation involves the construction of an analog computer model of the transistor. The computer model is based upon the Linvill diffusion model. The equations for the Linvill diffusion model were programmed on the computer by making certain approximations. Different models, using different approximations, were used for the different regions of operation of the transistor. A composite analog model was constructed by combining the models for the restricted regions, giving a general model good for all regions of transistor operation. This analog diffusion model was modified to account for the effects of junction capacitance and base resistance. The modified analog …

The Computer-Aided Generation Of Flow-Tables For Asynchronous Sequential Circuits, Ronald Lee Altman
Masters Theses
"One step in the synthesis of asynchronous sequential circuits is the construction of a flow table. This paper discusses the requirements of a computer program to allow on-line generation of flow tables for asynchronous sequential circuits. Such topics as the form of the data entered into the program, the type of terminal required, the routines necessary for the designer to enter and correct data, and the internal data structure are discussed. An algorithm for the generation of these flow tables is also presented"--Abstract, page ii.

A Method Of Supervised Pattern Recognition By An Adaptive Hypersphere Decision Threshold, Darroll Steven Mccormack
Masters Theses
"In this study the Bayes likelihood detector is combined with an adaptive decision threshold classifier to solve the multicategory pattern recognition problem. It is assumed that the pattern classes can be represented by an n-dimensional vector sample taken from a multivariate gaussian probability distribution. This study presents (1) the derivation of the A̲daptive H̲ypersphere D̲ecision T̲hreshold classifier (AHDT classifier) and shows (2) how the AHDT classifier minimizes the probability of error using the learning patterns. Finally the AHDT classifier is applied to the solution of a physical problem through computer simulation"--Abstract, page ii.
