Performance Analysis Of Pyramid Mapping Algorithms For The Hypercube, Jing-Chiou Liou
Performance Analysis Of Pyramid Mapping Algorithms For The Hypercube, Jing-Chiou Liou
Theses
Comparative performance analysis of algorithms that map pyramids and multilevel structures onto the hypercube are presented. The pyramid structure is appropriate for low-level and intermediate-level computer vision algorithms. It is not only efficient for the support of both local and global operations but also capable of supporting the implementation of multilevel solvers. Nevertheless, pyramids lack the capability of efficient implementation of the majority of scientific algorithms and their cost may become unacceptably high. On a different horizon, hypercube machines have widely been used in the field of parallel computing due to their small diameter, high degree of fault tolerance, and …

This thesis presents new designs of three dimensional magnetic field sensors in BiCMOS technology. The detailed design of the merged structure device by common diffusion and the high gain transduction circuit are presented. The merged structure has the advantage of less area, less external contacts and less parasitic capacitance. Cross-sensitivity is also eliminated by employing the merged structure. Three active on-chip loads are introduced to improve the sensitivity. The SPICE simulation results show that when a relative change in current ΔI/I is 0.001, about 13.6 mV and 8.5mV can be detected at the output in X(or Y) and Z directions, …

Optical Flow Determination And Motion Analysis, Qian Wang
Theses
Optical flow, also known as image flow, is of fundamental importance in the processing of image sequences. Various approaches to determine optical flow have been proposed --- others continue to appear. Using several sets of real image sequences, here, the results of three different approaches to the the determination of optical flow are reported, the approaches are the Gradient-based approach, the Correlation-based approach and the Correlation-feedback approach. The comparisons are primarily empirical, and they show that the performance of these different algorithms differs significantly among the different image sequences, indicating that there does not exists one superior algorithm which could …
Development Of A Model For An Objective Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference Characterization Of An Infrared Camera, Christine Issa Mourad
Development Of A Model For An Objective Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference Characterization Of An Infrared Camera, Christine Issa Mourad
Theses
The parameter almost universally adopted by the infrared community for describing the overall performance of a thermal imaging camera is the minimum resolvable temperature difference. Unfortunately, this criterion is subjectively determined by a group of observers and as a consequence significantly varying results can be obtained at different times. This project describes work on an approach which ultimately aims to replace the observers by a computer-aided installation that simulates the human process by which the MRTD is estimated. The simulation is based on a direct measurement of signal to noise ratio in the image of the target and a determination …

Recognizing that the prime purpose of the 3 phase induction motor is to deliver torque with minimum line current. This thesis studies the torque as well as the current response produced by the singularity changes in the induction machine slip. It is desirable that the torque to be maximized for a given value of line current at the corresponding load slip.
This thesis analyzes the torque and current response, when a slip at no-load is changed to a unit-step, Qu(t), a unit-impulse, Qδ(t), a pulse characterized by Q[u(t)-u(t-T)], a unit-ramp, Qt, and a sinusoidal, Qsint, slip. The responses are analyzed …
A Successive Approximation Algorithm To Solve Motion Planning Problems, Cheng-Ming Chang
A Successive Approximation Algorithm To Solve Motion Planning Problems, Cheng-Ming Chang
Theses
A successive approximation algorithm is presented to solve motion planning problems and optimal control problems. A motion planning problem is included in an optimal control problem and due to the heavily nonlinear and coulped differential equations describing the dynamics of the manipulator and several constraints imposed on the system, few efficient methods exist to solve this kind of problems.
The successive approximation algorithm can decompose the global nonlinear problem into several nonlinear subproblems and each subproblem is solved by the nonlinear programming method with a highly convergent rate. Because the limited constraints and variables are included in each subproblem and …
Reduction Of Acoustic Feedback Oscillations By Use Of Spectrum Shifting, Youssef Abdelilah
Reduction Of Acoustic Feedback Oscillations By Use Of Spectrum Shifting, Youssef Abdelilah
Theses
The problem of whistling noise or self-oscillation in public address systems operating in closed halls or rooms can be very disturbing to the listeners. This noise is sustained when the positive acoustic feedback, of the public address-room system, meets the oscillation criteria. This feedback system results from the acoustic sound signal reflected off the room walls and any other obstacles in the room, originating from the public address speakers and then re-entering the microphone.
When all of the audio signal components entering the public address system are shifted by a frequency increment Δf of 6 Hz, an increase of 5 …

Theses
The nonlinearity analysis for a 0.5μm gate length microwave GaAs metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) by HP85150B Microwave Design System was investigated. The analysis starts with the construction of a large-signal MESFET equivalent circuit model. This model consists of bias dependent elements that were extracted by the optimization of DC and small-signal S-parameter measurement data. The details on this construction procedure are included in this work. The MESFET third-order intermodulation distortion was then simulated by HP85150B Microwave Design System. Reasonable agreement was obtained between simulation and measurement results. Microwave GaAs MESFET nonlinearity principles and large-signal modeling technique review are also presented. …

Translation Of Images On The Hypercube Using Leaf Codes, Bhavesh Patel
Translation Of Images On The Hypercube Using Leaf Codes, Bhavesh Patel
Theses
Image processing is used for manipulation of pictorial images. Image analysis applications are typically characterized by the need to process large quantities of image data. Some of the important transformations or operations which are car¬ried out by image processing systems are translation, scaling, superposition and rotation. Algorithms have been developed to carry out these transformations on image regions represented by quadtrees. Gargantini introduced an algorithm to translate an image region represented by a linear quadtree or leafcodes. A linear quadtree is a space efficient data structure used for storing digital images. Ziavras et.al. have proposed a modification of Gargantini's algorithm …
A Programmable Integrated Power Supply For The Electrostatic-Drive Micromotor, Chao Ye
A Programmable Integrated Power Supply For The Electrostatic-Drive Micromotor, Chao Ye
Theses
A 6-phase bipolarized, high-voltage power supply with rectangular pulse shape has been designed to study the special operational characteristics of various electrostatic-drive micromotors. In particular the design powers the variable-capacitance side-drive micromotor. This power supply provides variable frequency, variable voltage, and variable duty-cycle control. Simulation has been used extensively in the design and design verification.
The bipolarization (dual voltage polarity) of each pair of the phases reduces physical clamping of the rotor to the electrical shield beneath it. Thus, bipolarization of the voltage supplied to the stator nodes reduces charge build-up on the rotor.
The output frequency range varying from …

An Improved Human Gait Model Incorporating The Effects Of Muscle Activity And Joint Friction, Tae Ho Choi
An Improved Human Gait Model Incorporating The Effects Of Muscle Activity And Joint Friction, Tae Ho Choi
Theses
In designing an artificial leg for an amputee, it is important to find those underlying principles which determine the normal human gait. For this purpose we have developed a model of human walking, in which it is possible to predict an optimal gait at any given speed of walking based on the principle of minimum mechanical energy consumption.
Our model is an extension of the model proposed by Mochon and McMahon (1980). Their model assumes that during the swing phase of walking mechanical energy is conserved. Non-conservative forces due to muscle activity are assumed to occur during the double support …

Theses
The radiometric model of an IR image sensor has been developed. Based on this model, the application of imaging pyrometry to remote temperature measurements has been investigated. This analysis provides the estimation of temperature accuracy achievable by imaging pyrometry in conjunction with a number of radiometric methods. The detection of radiation emitted across the full spectral bandwidth of the imager as well as utilization of narrow-passband filters was analyzed for a target with known emissivity.
The methods of two-wavelength ratio radiometry and multi-wavelength radiometry were considered for the targets with unknown emissivity. The optimal selection of the wavelengths for the …
A Direct Method For Surface Structure Recovering Based On Uoff, Ping Lin
A Direct Method For Surface Structure Recovering Based On Uoff, Ping Lin
Theses
The unified optical flow field (UOFF) theory which can be used for estimating motion and recovering surface structure was recently established in [9, 10]. The direct method developed in [2, 3, 4, 6, 7] does not need to explicitly solve the optical flow field and to find feature correspondence. Based on the UOFF, a direct method in space domain is developed to reconstruct the curved surface structure characterized by an Nth degree polynomial equation from a pair of stereo images. The initial work on this new method was reported in [8, 11].
In this study, I basically work on simulation …

Optics have many advantages over electronics in interconnecting systems together, particularly in terms of higher transmission speed and better immunity to noise. Optical interconnections may be used at all levels of computing: for local area networks, between processors or memory elements, and between boards.
In this thesis, we attempted to generate a new type of computer hologram for optical interconnection purposes. The holographic method is very promising whenever integrated optical interconnections are considered. In this research we have tried two designs: the shortest path grating design which can maximize the global output energy and the single input maximum output grating …

Temporal Development Of Electric Field Structures In Photoconductive Gaas Switches, K. H. Schoenbach, J. S. Kenney, F.E. Peterkin, R. J. Allen
Bioelectrics Publications
The temporal development of the electric field distribution in semi‐insulating GaAs photoconductive switches operated in the linear and lock‐on mode has been studied. The field structure was obtained by recording a change in the absorption pattern of the switch due to the Franz–Keldysh effect at a wavelength near the band edge of GaAs. In the linear mode, a high field layer develops at the cathode contact after laser activation. With increasing applied voltage, domainlike structures become visible in the anode region and the switch transits into the lock‐on state, a permanent filamentary electrical discharge. Calibration measurements show the field intensity …

Studies Of Electron-Beam Penetration And Free-Carrier Generation In Diamond Films, R. P. Joshi, K. H. Schoenbach, C. Molina, W. W. Hofer
Bioelectrics Publications
Experimental observations of the energy‐dependent electron‐beam penetration in type II‐A natural diamond are reported. The experimental data are compared with results obtained from numerical Monte Carlo simulations, and the results are in very good agreement. The results also reveal that a threshold energy of about 125 keV is necessary for complete penetration for a 35 μm sample. It is found that over the 30–180 keV range, the energy dependence of the penetration depth and total path length exhibits a power‐law relation. Monte Carlo simulations have also been performed to investigate the excess carrier‐generation profiles within diamond for a set of …
Semiconductor P-N Junction Space Charge Region Capacitance, Mohammad Humayun Habib
Semiconductor P-N Junction Space Charge Region Capacitance, Mohammad Humayun Habib
Dissertations and Theses
The classical capacitance voltage characteristics based on the depletion approximation, is adequate at reverse bias, but introduces errors at high forward bias. Because of its inherent simplicity and compactness this classical depletion model is well studied and widely used in circuit simulators. In this work, a new model for the semiconductor space charge region (SCR) capacitance, based on physical justification, will be derived. This new model takes three input parameters, C0 , Vbi and m, thus eliminating the fitting parameter FC currently used in SPICE. This new model is applicable for any applied voltage and will be compared with the …
Possible Applications Of Neural Nets To Power System Operation And Control, P. K. Kalra, Alok Srivastava, D. K. Chaturvedi
Possible Applications Of Neural Nets To Power System Operation And Control, P. K. Kalra, Alok Srivastava, D. K. Chaturvedi
D. K. Chaturvedi Dr.
Problems related to power system operation and control are complex and time consuming because of the non-linearities involved in their formulation and solution. Fast solutions to these problems can be obtained only through parallel processing. Neural nets provide massive parallel processing facilities and may also be used efficiently to model systems with non-linearities. The capabilities of neural nets can, therefore, be well utilized in modelling and processing problems related to power systems. In order to reduce the burden on computers, algorithms involving optimization and complex equations can be converted to heuristics. These heuristics can then be represented in terms of …

Fabrication And Characterization Of Gated Silicon Field Emission Micro Triodes, Nanchou Liu
Dissertations
This dissertation describes the fabrication technology and characterization of a gated silicon field emission micro triode that is a novel electron tunneling device for generating electron emission into a vacuum. Conic (point) and wedge field emitter structures with nm-scale radii were fabricated in silicon and GaAs by etching, MOCVD and dry oxidation. A new self-aligned process was developed for fabrication of vertical field emission triodes. This process allows control of gate opening to less than 0.5 μm diameter without the need of electron-beam writing. It also provides a planar gate electrode and a thick dielectric layer for reduction of the …
Point Pattern Matching By Heuristic Methods : A Genetic Algorithm And Simulated Annealing, Erh-Chin Chen
Point Pattern Matching By Heuristic Methods : A Genetic Algorithm And Simulated Annealing, Erh-Chin Chen
Theses
The problem we consider is to find a subset of points in a pattern that best match to a subset of points in another pattern through a transformation in an optimal sense. Exhaustive search to find the best assignment mapping one set of points to another set is, if the number of points that are to be matched is large, computationally expensive. We propose two stochastic searching techniques - a genetic algorithm and simulated annealing to search for the best ("almost the best") assignment efficiently. To make the comparison between GA and SA fair, we introduce a piece-wise linear cooling …

Bragg Reflection Grating Waveguide, Wei Zhong
Theses
Bragg reflection waveguides (BRW) are non-conventional optical guides in which optical confinement is achieved via periodic set of grooves or stratified media along the guiding path. BRW may also serve as optical filters, because of spectral discrimination of the guiding process. A novel UV laser ablation technique was used in this thesis to fabricate periodic metal-clad polymeric waveguides. Spin-on technique was applied to fabricate the waveguide core on glass substrates, evaporation of metal film and selective ablation process defined the optical guides. Various periodicities have been fabricated and the near field patterns have been measured to compare the different guiding …
Adaptive Map Configuration And Dynamic Routing To Optimize The Performance Of A Satellite Communication Network, Santhalingam Balasekar
Adaptive Map Configuration And Dynamic Routing To Optimize The Performance Of A Satellite Communication Network, Santhalingam Balasekar
Theses
Availability of alternate routes are shown to enhance the performance of non-hierarchical circuit switched networks at moderate load conditions on which the networks typically operate. But alternate routes introduce instability at heavy and overloaded conditions and at these load conditions the network performance is found to deteriorate. To alleviate this problem, one of the control mechanism used is to reserve a fraction of the capacity of each link for direct routed calls. In this work, the feasibility of changing the facilities of a satellite network is taken advantage in optimizing the performance of such a network. A mesh connected, circuit …
An Information Theoretic Approach To Dsn Evaluation, Vivek Mehrotra
An Information Theoretic Approach To Dsn Evaluation, Vivek Mehrotra
Theses
Evaluation of Distributed Sensor Networks (DSN's) for optimal detection using Bayesian cost formulation methods has been the objective of several studies. There have been a few studies on DSN evaluation using an information theoretic approach, wherein an assymetric channel models a detector. We look at the multi-sensor system at the receiver as a black-box and model it as an assymetric channel whose cross over probabilities depend on the probabilties of detection and of false alarm. These probabilities in turn depend on the thresholds of the local detectors and on the fusion rule used. We consider the case wherein the receiver …
