Arithmetic Logic Unit (Alu) Design Using Reconfigurable Cmos Logic, Chandra Srinivasan
Arithmetic Logic Unit (Alu) Design Using Reconfigurable Cmos Logic, Chandra Srinivasan
LSU Master's Theses
Using the reconfigurable logic of multi-input floating gate MOSFETs, a 4-bit ALU has been designed for 3V operation. The ALU can perform four arithmetic and four logical operations. Multi- input floating gate (MIFG) transistors have been promising in realizing increased functionality on a chip. A multi- input floating gate MOS transistor accepts multiple inputs signals, calculates the weighted sum of all input signals and then controls the ON and OFF states of the transistor. This enhances the transistor function to more than just switching. This changes the way a logic function can be realized. Implementing a design using multi-input floating …
Instantaneously Trained Neural Networks With Complex Inputs, Pritam Rajagopal
Instantaneously Trained Neural Networks With Complex Inputs, Pritam Rajagopal
LSU Master's Theses
Neural network architectures that can handle complex inputs, such as backpropagation networks, perceptrons or generalized Hopfield networks, require a large amount of time and resources for the training process. This thesis adapts the time-efficient corner classification approach to train feedforward neural networks to handle complex inputs using prescriptive learning, where the network weights are assigned simply upon examining the inputs. At first a straightforward generalization of the CC4 corner classification algorithm is presented to highlight issues in training complex neural networks. This algorithm performs poorly in a pattern classification experiment and for it to perform well some inputs have to …

Denoising Techniques - A Comparison, Sarita Veera Dangeti
LSU Master's Theses
Visual information transmitted in the form of digital images is becoming a major method of communication in the modern age, but the image obtained after transmission is often corrupted with noise. The received image needs processing before it can be used in applications. Image denoising involves the manipulation of the image data to produce a visually high quality image. This thesis reviews the existing denoising algorithms, such as filtering approach, wavelet based approach, and multifractal approach, and performs their comparative study. Different noise models including additive and multiplicative types are used. They include Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, speckle …

First, an optical signal can be split among the outputs of a node but …
Circuitry For A Remotely Powered Bio-Implantable Gastric Electrical Stimulation System, Satish Kona
Circuitry For A Remotely Powered Bio-Implantable Gastric Electrical Stimulation System, Satish Kona
LSU Master's Theses
Power to bio-implantable devices is usually supplied through a battery implanted with the system or through wires extending to an outside power source. The latter case with wires protruding out of the body can be unaesthetic in appearance and can cause infection. In this research, we consider an alternative way to power a bio-implantable microsystem. It involves using rechargeable lithium batteries. Here, power is delivered remotely to charge implanted battery or batteries. This approach avoids periodic surgery necessary for battery replacement. It also does not tie a person to an external power source at all times. This improves patient’s quality …

LSU Master's Theses
Device such as remotely located sensors and bio-implanted devices such as gastric pacer require power for operation. The most commonly used energy source for such devices is a battery cell included in the receiver capsule. Wires can also be used with an external power source but in some applications have serious limitations. This work examines a wireless power transmitter and receiver system to provide power to a remotely located microsystem. Inductive power coupling is the method of choice. For gastric pacer application, external transmitter coil can be worn around the waist as a belt and the receiver coil can be …
Iddq Testing Of A Cmos 10-Bit Charge Scaling Digital-To-Analog Converter, Srinivas Rao Aluri
Iddq Testing Of A Cmos 10-Bit Charge Scaling Digital-To-Analog Converter, Srinivas Rao Aluri
LSU Master's Theses
This work presents an effective built-in current sensor (BICS), which has a very small impact on the performance of the circuit under test (CUT). The proposed BICS works in two-modes the normal mode and the test mode. In the normal mode the BICS is isolated from the CUT due to which there is no performance degradation of the CUT. In the testing mode, our BICS detects the abnormal current caused by permanent manufacturing defects. Further more our BICS can also distinguish the type of defect induced (Gate-source short, source-drain short and drain-gate short). Our BICS requires neither an external voltage …
Computing Moments Of A Binary Horizontally/Vertically Convex Image Using Run-Time Reconfiguration, Cheowway Neoh
Computing Moments Of A Binary Horizontally/Vertically Convex Image Using Run-Time Reconfiguration, Cheowway Neoh
LSU Master's Theses
In this thesis, we present a design for computing moments of a binary horizontally/vertically convex image on an FPGA chip, using run-time reconfiguration. We compute the moments of up to third order for a total of 16 moments. We address how run-time reconfiguration speeds up moment computations without taking up huge hardware resources. Since we are considering a binary horizontally/vertically convex image, we look at an alternative method in moment computations that utilizes constant coefficient multipliers. We divide the image into segments and process one segment at a time. We reconfigure the constant coefficient multipliers before processing the next segment. …
Wavelength Assignment In All-Optical Networks For Mesh Topologies, Prabhulaiah Bijja
Wavelength Assignment In All-Optical Networks For Mesh Topologies, Prabhulaiah Bijja
LSU Master's Theses
All-Optical Networks employing Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) are believed to be the next generation networks that can meet the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth of the end users. This thesis presents some new heuristics for wavelength assignment and converter placement in mesh topologies. Our heuristics try to assign the wavelengths in an efficient manner that results in very low blocking probability. We propose novel static and dynamic assignment schemes that outperform the assignments reported in the literature even when converters are used. The proposed on-line scheme called "Round-Robin" assignment outperforms previously proposed strategies such as first-fit and random assignment schemes. …

Efficient Convolvers Using The Polynomial Residue Number System Technique, Surendar Paruchuri
LSU Master's Theses
The problem of computing linear convolution is a very important one because with linear convolution we can mechanize digital filtering. The linear convolution of two N-point sequences can be computed by the cyclic convolution of the following 2N-point sequences. The original sequence padded with N zero’s each. The cyclic convolution of two N-point sequences requires multiplications and additions for its computation. A very efficient way of computing cyclic convolution of two sequences is by using the Polynomial Residue Number System (PRNS) technique. Using this technique the cyclic convolution of two N-point sequences can be computed using only N multiplications instead …

Offline And Online Variants Of The Traveling Salesman Problem, John Ebenezer Augustine
LSU Master's Theses
In this thesis, we study several well-motivated variants of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). First, we consider makespan minimization for vehicle scheduling problems on trees with release and handling times. 2-approximation algorithms were known for several variants of the single vehicle problem on a path. A 3/2-approximation algorithm was known for the single vehicle problem on a path where there is a fixed starting point and the vehicle must return to the starting point upon completion. Karuno, Nagamochi and Ibaraki give a 2-approximation algorithm for the single vehicle problem on trees. We develop a Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme (PTAS) for …

Multiple-Access Interference Suppression In Cdma Wireless Systems, Jianqiang He
Multiple-Access Interference Suppression In Cdma Wireless Systems, Jianqiang He
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis presents techniques that suppress the multiple access interference (MAI) in CDMA wireless systems. MAI is the main factor that influences the communication quality and the capacity in CDMA wireless systems. Hence the suppression of MAI is essential to the performance of a CDMA wireless system. For conventional CDMA systems where matched filters are used as receivers, the only MAI suppression method available is the power control, which allocates each user in the system an appropriate transmitter power level such that the transmitter power is minimized to decrease the MAI, while at the same time each user maintains a …

Simulation studies for the estimator and controller algorithms are mainly undertaken after describing how to use MATLAB S-function in detail. Not only do Simulation experiments illustrates how and how well the MDPP and RLS algorithms work, but also show how to write and debug MATLAB codes for S-function programs. The robustness of the adaptive control system is intensively discussed subsequently. By using an estimator resistant to the noise contamination, the adaptive control system …
Dynamic Scheduling, Allocation, And Compaction Scheme For Real-Time Tasks On Fpgas, Shobharani Tatineni
Dynamic Scheduling, Allocation, And Compaction Scheme For Real-Time Tasks On Fpgas, Shobharani Tatineni
LSU Master's Theses
Run-time reconfiguration (RTR) is a method of computing on reconfigurable logic, typically FPGAs, changing hardware configurations from phase to phase of a computation at run-time. Recent research has expanded from a focus on a single application at a time to encompass a view of the reconfigurable logic as a resource shared among multiple applications or users. In real-time system design, task deadlines play an important role. Real-time multi-tasking systems not only need to support sharing of the resources in space, but also need to guarantee execution of the tasks. At the operating system level, sharing logic gates, wires, and I/O …
