Signal Subspace Techniques For Source Localization With Circular Sensor Arrays, Cherian P. Mathews, Michael D. Zoltowski Jan 1994

Signal Subspace Techniques For Source Localization With Circular Sensor Arrays, Cherian P. Mathews, Michael D. Zoltowski

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Estimating the directions-of-arrival (DOAs) of propagating plane waves is a problem of interest in a variety of applications including radar, mobile communications, sonar, and seismology. The widely studied uniform linear array (ULA) can only provide estimates of source bearings relative to the array axis. A planar. array is required if estimates of source azimuth and elevation are required (2D angle estimation). Uniform circular arrays (UCAs) have several properties that make them attractive for 2D angle estimation; e.g., directional patterns synthesized with UCAs can be electronically rotated in the plane of the array without significant change of beam shape. Two signal …


Storing Logical Form In A Shared-Packed. Forest, Mary P. Harper Jan 1994

Storing Logical Form In A Shared-Packed. Forest, Mary P. Harper

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

To compactly represent sentences containing syntactic ambiguity until the necessary information has been processed to refine the meaning, we have modified an all-path context-free grammar parser to generate a shared-packed parse forest annotated with logical form. An annotated shared-packed forest cannot contain every representation of a highly ambiguous sentence without using an intractable amount of space. Hence, our program stores procedure calls for creating all possible logical forms for a c.onstituent in the forest. The resulting forest contains the same number of nodes and is not much bigger than the original forest. Furthermore, the stored procedural information can be used …

An Indot Lessons Learned Constructability Program And Integrated Multimedia System, Bob G. Mccullouch, Robert Michael Patty Jan 1994

An Indot Lessons Learned Constructability Program And Integrated Multimedia System, Bob G. Mccullouch, Robert Michael Patty

JTRP Technical Reports

To improve constructability, experienced design and construction engineers often select processes and develop details that require less labor, equipment, or management resources to build. These innovative ideas, enabling circumstances, and their effect on the construction process are not usually recorded in a reusable format. Without such a mechanism, recalling this experience under the appropriate circumstances, or transferring the technology to new management has generally not happened. Further, civil engineers are generally educated to optimize cost by minimizing the material quantity. Through experience gained after graduation, they are expected to pick up options for engineering impact on the labor, equipment, and …


The Components And Benefits Of An Advanced Surface Arterial Traffic Management System, Ted M. Andrews, Kumares C. Sinha Jan 1994

The Components And Benefits Of An Advanced Surface Arterial Traffic Management System, Ted M. Andrews, Kumares C. Sinha

JTRP Technical Reports

Traffic congestion has become an increasing problem on major surface arterial roadways. Demand for accessibility to adjacent land uses yields increased vehicular turning movement activity at driveways and intersections. As turning and cross-road traffic volumes increase, the need for traffic signalization will eventually be warranted. When numerous, independently operating traffic signals are present on a given arterial roadway, adverse effects can result. First, continous movement along the arterials at a desirable speed may not be assured. Second, vehicular delay will increase because of the slower operating speeds and increased number of stops. Third, safety can be threatened as poor traffic …

Detection Of Harmonic Loads On A Power System Under Practical Conditions Of Non-Sinusoidal Voltages And Variable Frequency, Naveen Jaluria Dec 1993

Detection Of Harmonic Loads On A Power System Under Practical Conditions Of Non-Sinusoidal Voltages And Variable Frequency, Naveen Jaluria

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The purpose of this work is to develop an on-line measurement technique, which could be used iteratively to detect the presence of harmonic loads on the power system. This has to be achieved in an environment of non-sinusoidal voltage waveforms and variable frequency as is the case in practice. This is achieved by looking at the relative phase relationship between the voltage and current at each harmonic frequency. From this information, the average harmonic power flowing in the load circuit can be found out. If the load is injecting average power back to the source at harmonic frequencies, then it …

Transmission Scheduling Of Multichannel System For Communication Of Pre-Orchestrated Multimedia Information, Miae Woo, Arif Ghafoor Dec 1993

Transmission Scheduling Of Multichannel System For Communication Of Pre-Orchestrated Multimedia Information, Miae Woo, Arif Ghafoor

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Communication of multimetlia information over broadband networks dictates stringent QOS requirements. In this report, we propose a commnnication model for preorchestrated multimedia information. The proposed model, calletl XOCPN, specifies the performance parameters to handle mnltimedia media. effectively as well as provides resynchronization action to compensate anomalies thle to random delays introduced by the network. The model is used to determine the optimal number of channels needed to transmit the multimedia information. Subsequently, we consider a channel-deficient system having homogeneous channels (i.e. channels with identical characteristics) and prove that scheduling transmission of multimedia data in this system is an NP-hard problem. …

Performance Tradeoffs For Scheduling Pre-Orchestrated Multimedia Information Over Broadband Integrated Networks, Zafar Ali, Arif Ghafoor Dec 1993

Performance Tradeoffs For Scheduling Pre-Orchestrated Multimedia Information Over Broadband Integrated Networks, Zafar Ali, Arif Ghafoor

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this report we present a framework for evaluating performance of scheduling preorchestrated multimedia information over broadband integrated networks. We propose a set of Quality Of Presentation (QOP) parameters which quantify the quality of multimedia presentation from user's point of view. The communication of mulltimedia data in a networked environment can affect the desired QOP parameters due to jitter delays in the network. We evaluate trade-offs between QOP parameters and the system resources including channel utilization and buffering at the destination. These trade-offs can be used to develope an optimal transmission schedule for multimedia information.


Genetic Algorithms In Noisy Environments, T. W. Then, Edwin K. P. Chong Dec 1993

Genetic Algorithms In Noisy Environments, T. W. Then, Edwin K. P. Chong

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Genetic Algorithms (GA) have been widely used in the areas of searching, function optimization, and machine learning. In many of these applications, the effect of noise is a critical factor in the performance of the genetic algorithms. While it hals been shown in previous siiudies that genetic algorithms are still able to perform effectively in the presence of noise, the problem of locating the global optimal solution at the end of the search has never been effectively addressed. Furthermore, the best solution obtained by GA often does not coincicle with the optimal solution for the problem when noise is present. …
