The Effect Of The Relief Plate Shoulder Angle On Flexographic Dot Gain, Bruce Brier Sep 1986

The Effect Of The Relief Plate Shoulder Angle On Flexographic Dot Gain, Bruce Brier

Theses

The mechanism of image-formation in photopolymer flexographic relief printing plates is reviewed. In addition to the identified factors, it was hypothesized that the level of exposure could influence the plate shoulder angle. It was further hypothesized that an optimization of shoulder angle with respect to halftone dot area may reduce the dot gain of the printing process. An experiment was conducted using a novel method of plate exposure. Continuous-tone masks were placed in contact with the plate back and the halftone negative used on the plate face. The resulting shoulder angles were measured and analyzed for significant fit to a …

An Enrollment Projection Simulation, Dianne Bills Aug 1986

An Enrollment Projection Simulation, Dianne Bills

Theses

This thesis applies current computer science technology to the simulation of student behavior, called Student Flow, in higher education. Data Flow Diagrams were modified for Student Flow analysis and used to help select parameters relevant to the simulation. A longitudinal database of enrollment activity was retrieved and analyzed to generate simulation statistics. The simulation was implemented using an electronic spreadsheet. The model thus developed was then used to project future student enrollments.

Combined Query Language (Cql): An Interactive Query Language With Procedural Features, Ilia Levi Aug 1986

Combined Query Language (Cql): An Interactive Query Language With Procedural Features, Ilia Levi

Theses

Interactive query languages provide easy to use interfaces to database systems. However, they lack the power of the host languages to perform manipulations on data. This thesis presents an interactive query language Combined Query Language (CQL) that has some features of procedural languages. CQL allows users to interactively manipulate databases and perform calculations on data. CQL is a self contained interactive query language that combines the computational power of a host language (like FORTRAN) with the convenience and flexibility of the common interactive query languages. Users of CQL would not have to use a host language for most of the …

Forced Plasma Oxidation Of Reactively Evaporated Indium As A Transparent Antistatic Coating For Ponyethylene Terephthalate, David Dawson Elli Aug 1986

Forced Plasma Oxidation Of Reactively Evaporated Indium As A Transparent Antistatic Coating For Ponyethylene Terephthalate, David Dawson Elli

Theses

Thin films of indium oxide (IO) were prepared by a three stage process involving forced plasma oxidation (FPO) of reactively evaporated indium. Applications of IO films produced using this technique include transparent, antistatic coatings for the continuous processing of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The films were characterized by sheet resistance and optical transmittance measurements, and ESCA. Experiments were performed to determine the effect of FPO exposure time on sheet resistance Rs and optical transmittance T, which were then monitored over a one year period to determine the stability of the films. A model is developed to explain the effects of (i) …

Linkage Kinematics Sketchpad, Michael St. Jacques Jul 1986

Linkage Kinematics Sketchpad, Michael St. Jacques

Theses

During the design and creation of linkage-type mechanisms, visualization of linkage motion is extremely important. However, there does not appear to be a commercially available computer package for accomplishing visualization interactively. Most linkage design packages allow animation of linkage motion only after tedious part description (and debug) using cryptic input codes. The main thrust of this work has been the development of a prototype interactive graphics (CAD) system aimed at visualizing the motion and mobility of linkage-type mechanisms. The program is called the Linkage Kinematics Sketchpad (LKSP). It is a 2-D color graphics program which allows the user to describe …

Steady State Stress Distribution And Force Transmissibility Of A Rotating Disk Of Variable Thickness, John Ole Hansen Jul 1986

Steady State Stress Distribution And Force Transmissibility Of A Rotating Disk Of Variable Thickness, John Ole Hansen

Theses

The governing equations of the transverse vibration of a spinning disk of varying thickness are derived and solved using numerical integration techniques. A clamped-free rotating annular disk driven at the outer edge with sinusoidally varying force is considered for analysis. Representative graphs showing the stress distribution and the frequency dependence of the force transmissibility of the disk are presented. Results obtained in this paper are compared as applicable to results of previous investigations.

Investigation Of The Control Information Content In The Transient Regime Input/Output Data, Matthew Strack Jul 1986

Investigation Of The Control Information Content In The Transient Regime Input/Output Data, Matthew Strack

Theses

This report represents an analysis of the determination of the information content in a selected pair of system data points from the input/output of the plant. The given system contains a random variation condition which leads to the introduction of an adaptive control loop. A procedure for adaptive control is proposed, based upon the information content in the selected pair, for implementation in a microcomputer-based system. The determination of the selected pair as well as the adaptive control laws are based upon extensive computer simulation of the system. This computer-design technique aids in the development of "switching" conditions for the …

Cmos Analog Transmission Gate Design, Cynthia S. Bell Jun 1986

Cmos Analog Transmission Gate Design, Cynthia S. Bell

Theses

CMOS technology has provided an integrated circuit equivalent for the conventional electromechanical switch: the transmission gate. CMOS analog transmission gates degrade signals passed through them with noise due to gate clock feedthrough transients. A SPICE parameter model for the Eastman Kodak CMOS process has been developed and timing requirements for feedthrough cancellation in typically structured transmission gate devices have been studied. An alternate device structure for improved performance is proposed.

An Analysis Of Variation In Response Time Of Cpu Scheduling Algorithms As A Function Of Load: A Simulation, John Dehority May 1986

An Analysis Of Variation In Response Time Of Cpu Scheduling Algorithms As A Function Of Load: A Simulation, John Dehority

Theses

This thesis analyzes a group of cpu scheduling algorithms on the basis of the variation in response time that results from changes in the system load. The results of this study quantify the differential degradation of performance across job categories. The job categories include short-burst interactive jobs as well as cpu intensive jobs. For each job type, measurements were made of average job turn-around time, weighted average turn-around time, and worst case response time. Additional statistics gathered include: ready-to-run queue size, cpu utilization and throughput. The three cpu scheduling algorithms compared are round-robin, shortest-job-first, and a multi-queue priority scheduler. The …

The Contributions Of Linn Boyd Benton And Morris Fuller Benton To The Technology Of Typesetting And Typeface Design, Patricia Cost May 1986

The Contributions Of Linn Boyd Benton And Morris Fuller Benton To The Technology Of Typesetting And Typeface Design, Patricia Cost

Theses

The relative obscurity of Linn Boyd Benton and Morris Fuller Benton, is investigated. The two men, father and son, made significant contributions to the technology of typesetting and to typeface design, yet they are not now well known in the industry. Linn Boyd Benton invented a pantographic punch-cutting machine, which he later modified to engrave matrices. This machine made the Linotype machine practical, since it took the tedium and great expense out of the making of Linotype 'mats.' Benton's machine was and still is used at the American Type Founders Company, and was copied for use at type founding companies …

Pmos Digital Structures, Robert Pearson May 1986

Pmos Digital Structures, Robert Pearson

Theses

A majority of new integrated circuit designs are being fabricated in CMOS technology which uses both pMOSFETs and nMOSFETS. The nMOSFETS have been well characterized over the past few years whereas the pMOSFETs have been ignored since MOS technology moved to nMOS in the early 70 's. Investigation of pMOS devices will provide information that will be useful for other technologies such as CMOS. This paper looks at the design, fabrication, fabrication simulation, electrical characterization, electrical simulation and testing of digital pMOSFET circuits. A particular emphasis will be placed on understanding the process so that first time integrated circuit processors …

Analysis Of Compliant Pins Subjected To Plastic Deformation, Lincoln Miller May 1986

Analysis Of Compliant Pins Subjected To Plastic Deformation, Lincoln Miller

Theses

An experimental/numerical analysis of two types of compliant pins is presented: dynamic retention pins and cantilever pins. It is shown that there is a trade-off between the performances of both types of pins. For the same range of retention force, the cantilever pin, with a smaller stiffness, is more forgiving and gives a broader range of deflection. The dynamic retention pin is shown to be more reliable with time and replacement frequency, since it exhibits less plastic deformation for the same range of retention force.
