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 …

LSU Master's Theses
Primary goal of this work is to study transmission of EM power through a multilayered biological medium. For a particular case study, EM power transmission from an external transmitter to a coupled receiver implanted inside a biological medium simulating a human body is studied to find solutions for factors such as optimum transmission frequency and excitation current. Different aspects of interaction of EM waves with biological bodies and tissues are discussed. Two major factors that may affect transmission of EM power through a biological body are absorption and reflection of EM waves. A simulation in which exact Maxwell's equations are …
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 …
Efficient Embedding Of Virtual Hypercubes In Irregular Wdm Optical Networks, Guru Prasad P. Kithlanagamangala
Efficient Embedding Of Virtual Hypercubes In Irregular Wdm Optical Networks, Guru Prasad P. Kithlanagamangala
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis addresses one of the important issues in designing future WDM optical networks. Such networks are expected to employ an all-optical control plane for dissemination of network state information. It has recently been suggested that an efficient control plane will require non-blocking communication infrastructure and routing techniques. However, the irregular nature of most WDM networks does not lend itself to efficient non-blocking communications. It has been recently shown that hypercubes offer some very efficient non-blocking solutions for, all-to-all broadcast operations, which would be very attractive for control plane implementation. Such results can be utilized by embedding virtual structures in …

The goal of Traffic Engineering is to optimize the resource utilization and increase the network performance. Constraint-based routing has been proposed as an networks effective approach to implement traffic engineering in Multiprotocol Label Switching. In this thesis, we review several algorithms on constraint-based routing from the literature and point out their advantages and disadvantages. We then propose several algorithms to overcome some of the shortcomings of these approaches. Our algorithms are specifically suitable for large densely connected networks supporting both Quality of Service traffic and the Best Effort traffic. In large networks the size of the MPLS label space in …

Remote Power Delivery And Signal Amplification For Mems Applications, Sunitha Kopparthi
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 …
Adaptive Image Filtering Using Run-Time Reconfiguration, Nitin Srivastava
Adaptive Image Filtering Using Run-Time Reconfiguration, Nitin Srivastava
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis implements an adaptive linear smoothing image filtering algorithm, on a Virtex™-E FPGA using run-time reconfiguration (RTR). An adaptive filter uses a filtering window that runs over the entire image pixel-by-pixel, generating new (filtered) values of the pixels. As the name suggests, an adaptive filter can adapt to the varying nature of an image by adjusting the coefficients of the filtering window depending upon the local variance in the intensity values of pixels. It filters an image in a non-uniform fashion providing greater smoothing in largely uniform areas of the image and lesser smoothing when it encounters edges and …

First, an optical signal can be split among the outputs of a node but …
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 …

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
This work studies a blind fault detection method, which only analyses a system's output signal for any change in the characteristics from pre-fault to post-fault to identify the occurrence of faults. In our case the fault considered to develop the procedure is change in time constant of an aircraft's aileron-actuator system and its simplified version - a position servo system. The method is studied as an alternative to conventional fault detection and identification methods. The output signal is passed through a filter bank to enhance the effect of a fault. The Short time Fourier transform is performed on the enhanced …

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 …

Generalized D-Sequences And Their Applications To Cdma Systems, Radhika Vaddiraja
LSU Master's Theses
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a form of spread spectrum communications is used widely in cellular telephony. CDMA systems employ Walsh-Hadamard orthogonal codes, jointly with Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequences, Gold sequences and Kasami sequences to achieve spreading. This thesis investigates properties of generalized d-sequences and their applications as spreading sequences in CDMA systems. The correlation properties of these sequences are studied. The autocorrelation function of these sequences is not exactly two-valued but the cross correlation values are zero for certain class of these sequences. The zero cross correlation property can be useful in solving the near-far problem in CDMA communication systems, …
