Quantum Transport With Dissipation: Linear And Non-Linear Response, Supriyo Datta, Michael J. Mclennan Dec 1988

Quantum Transport With Dissipation: Linear And Non-Linear Response, Supriyo Datta, Michael J. Mclennan

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

We present a quantum transport equation derived under the simplifying assumption that the inelastic scattering is caused by uncorrelated point scatterers, such as magnetic impurities. While this assumption is not always realistic, we believe that the model can be used to describe much of the essential physics of quantum transport in mesoscopic systems. This assumption allows us to write a quantum transport equation that involves only the diagonal elements of the density matrix which we use to define a distribution function f(r; E). The kernel of this integral equation is calculated from the Schrodinger equation and contains all quantum interference …

Experimental Evaluation Of Simd Pe-Mask Generation And Hybrid Mode Parallel Computing On Multi- Microprocessor Systems, Samuel A. Fineberg, Thomas L. Casavant, Howard Jay Siegel Nov 1988

Experimental Evaluation Of Simd Pe-Mask Generation And Hybrid Mode Parallel Computing On Multi- Microprocessor Systems, Samuel A. Fineberg, Thomas L. Casavant, Howard Jay Siegel

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Experimentation aimed at determining the potential efficiency of multi-microprocessor designs of SIMD machines is reported. The experimentation is based on timing measurements made on the PASM system prototype at Purdue. The application used to measure and evaluate this phenomenon was bitonic sorting, which has feasible solutions in both SIMD and MIMD modes of computation, as well as in at least two hybrids of SlMD and MIMD modes. Bitonic sorting was coded in these four ways and experiments were performed that examine the tradeoffs among all of these modes. Also, a new PE mask generation scheme for multiple "of-the-shelf" microprocessor based …


Applications Of Simple Markov Models To Computer Vision, Manoel F. Tenorio, Craig W. Codrington Nov 1988

Applications Of Simple Markov Models To Computer Vision, Manoel F. Tenorio, Craig W. Codrington

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this report we advocate the use of computationally simple algorithms for computer vision, operating in parallel. The design of these algorithms is based on physical constraints present in the image and object spaces. In particular, we discuss the design, implementation, and performance of a Markov Random Field based algorithm for low level segmentation. In addition to having a simple and fast implementation, the algorithm is flexible enough to allow intensity information to be fused with motion and edge information from other sources.


Model For An Intelligent Operating System For Executing Tasks On A Reconfigurable Parallel Architecture, C. Henry Chu, Edward J. Delp, Leah H. Jamieson, Howard Jay Siegel, Frank J. Weil, Andrew B. Whinston Nov 1988

Model For An Intelligent Operating System For Executing Tasks On A Reconfigurable Parallel Architecture, C. Henry Chu, Edward J. Delp, Leah H. Jamieson, Howard Jay Siegel, Frank J. Weil, Andrew B. Whinston

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Parallel processing is one approach to achieve the large computational processing capabilities required by many real-time computing tasks. One of the problems that must be addressed in the use of reconfigurable multiprocessor systems is matching the architecture configuration to the algorithms to be executed. This paper presents a conceptual model that explores the potential of artificial intelligence tools, specifically expert systems, to design an Intelligent Operating System for multiprocessor systems. The target task is the implementation of image understanding systems on multiprocessor architectures. PASM is used as an example multiprocessor. The Intelligent Operating System concepts developed here could also be …

On-Line Object Feature Extraction For Multispectral Scene Representation, Hassan Ghassemian, David Landgrebe Aug 1988

On-Line Object Feature Extraction For Multispectral Scene Representation, Hassan Ghassemian, David Landgrebe

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This thesis investigates a new on-line unsupervised object-feature extraction method that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the analysis of the multispectral image data and the data transmission, storage, archival and distribution as well. Typically in remote sensing a scene is represented by the spatially disjoint pixel-oriented features. It would appear possible to reduce data redundancy by an on-line unsupervised object-feature extraction process, where combined spatial-spectral object's features, rather than the original pixel-features, are used for multispectral scene representation. The ambiguity in the object detection process can be reduced if the spatial dependencies, which exist among the adjacent pixels, …


Spectral Feature Design In High Dimensional Multispectral Data, Chih-Chien Thomas Chen, David A. Landgrebe Aug 1988

Spectral Feature Design In High Dimensional Multispectral Data, Chih-Chien Thomas Chen, David A. Landgrebe

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The High resolution imaging Spectrometer (HIRIS) is designed to acquire images simultaneously in 192 spectral bands in the 0.4-2,5 μm wavelength region. It will make possible the collection of essentially continuous reflectance spectra at a spectral resolution sufficient to extract significantly enhanced amounts of information from return signals as compared to existing systems. By effectively utilizing these signals, direct identification of the parameters of species can be achieved and their subtle changes can also be observed and measured. The advantages of such high dimensional data come at a cost of increased system and data complexity. For example, since the finer …


Impedance Measurements Of Underground Cable Systems, Robert N. Bruce Aug 1988

Impedance Measurements Of Underground Cable Systems, Robert N. Bruce

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This paper documents a series of experimental impedance measurements made on underground residential distribution (URD) power components which included 15 KV class power cables, elbow connectors and a padmount transformer. The measurements were performed at high frequency, i.e. the MHz frequency region. The purpose was to study how the impedance of these devices behaves at high frequencies. Two port transmission parameters and network analysis were used to study the characteristics of these types of systems at these high frequencies.

Harmonic Impact Of Rectifiers Served By Unbalanced Three-Phase Sources, Kraig J. Olejniczak Jul 1988

Harmonic Impact Of Rectifiers Served By Unbalanced Three-Phase Sources, Kraig J. Olejniczak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A converter is a rectifier or inverter which is intended to transfer electrical energy between AC and DC busses. A common industrial converter usually employs the familiar Graetz bridge configuration and usually has a rating in the kilowatt through lower megawatt range. The operation of such a device is nominally in the balanced three-phase mode in which the phase currents are nonsinusoidal. The Fourier series components of these currents, or harmonics, have been studied extensively, but relatively little has been done in the unbalanced operating mode. The principal goal of this research is to examine how unbalance in magnitude and …
