Evaluation Of Flash And Fluorescent Sources With Respect To Recommended Ocular Exposure Thresholds, Mark Fairchild Mar 1986

Evaluation Of Flash And Fluorescent Sources With Respect To Recommended Ocular Exposure Thresholds, Mark Fairchild

Theses

A system was established for the evaluation of sources of optical radiation with respect to recommended ocular exposure limits. This system consists of a diode array radiometer calibrated for absolute radiometric measurements and software for the application of the currently accepted threshold limits for exposure to the various wavelengths of radiation. Absolute calibration of the array radiometer was accomplished to within 3 percent of values obtained by a conventional instrument. Day-to-day repeatability of the instrument indicates the possiblility of absolute calibration of the detector array responsivity for everyday use in the measurement of continuous sources to an accuracy of plus-or-minus …

A Novel Technique To The Solution Of Transient Electromagnetic Scattering From Thin Wires, Sadasiva Rao, Tapan Sarkar, Sohail Dianat Jan 1986

A Novel Technique To The Solution Of Transient Electromagnetic Scattering From Thin Wires, Sadasiva Rao, Tapan Sarkar, Sohail Dianat

Articles

Previous approaches to the problem of transient scattering by conducting bodies have utilized the well-known marching-on-in-time solution procedures. However, these procedures are very dependent on discretization techniques and in many cases lead to instabilities as time progresses. Moreover, the accuracy of the solution procedure cannot be verified easily and usually there is no error estimation. Recently an alternate approach to the solution of transient scattering by thin wires was presented based on the conjugate gradient (CG) method. In this procedure, space and time are discretized independently into subintervals and the error is minimized iteratively. Unfortunately, this procedure is very slow, …


Adaptive Spectral Estimation By The Conjugate-Gradient Method, Huanqun Chen, Tapan Sarkar, Sohail Dianat Jan 1986

Adaptive Spectral Estimation By The Conjugate-Gradient Method, Huanqun Chen, Tapan Sarkar, Sohail Dianat

Articles

This paper proposes an alternative technique for adaptive spectral estimation. The new technique applies the method of conjugate gradient, which is used for iteratively finding the generalized eigenvector corresponding to the minimum generalized eigenvalue of a semidefinite Hermitian matrix, to the adaptive spectral analysis problem. Computer simulations have been performed to compare the new method to existing ones. From the limited examples presented, it is seen that the new method is computationally more efficient at the expense of more core storage. Also, this method is effective for small data records and can implement noise correction to yield unbiased spectral estimates …

Storage Of Information On Color Photographic Materials With Applications To Optical Memory Disks, Andrew Juenger Jan 1986

Storage Of Information On Color Photographic Materials With Applications To Optical Memory Disks, Andrew Juenger

Theses

An experiment was performed to investigate the information capacity of Ilford Cibachrome Micrographic Film type CMM.F7, Kodak Aerial Color Film type SO-242, and Kodak Vericolor Print Film type 4111. The results indicated that the filmSj-had binary single layer information capacities of 9.51 x 10 , 3.27 x 10 , and 0.87 x 10 bits per square centimeter respectively. It was estimated that the CMM.F7 material was capable of resolving three density levels for c trilayer multilevel capacity of 45.2 x 10 bits per square centimeter, followed by SQ-242 and 4111 with five and six levels yielding 22.8 x 10 and …


An Extended Relational Data Base Management System For Engineering Design, Charles Fung Jan 1986

An Extended Relational Data Base Management System For Engineering Design, Charles Fung

Theses

At present, the use of the relational model in the engineering design support domain is restricted due to the following: lack of ability to handle complex objects, no support for Abstract Data Types, inappropriate concurrency control for long transactions, no support for versioning and update propagation, poor efficiency, and insufficient design rule checking and consistency contraints enforcement. A simple relational database management system is designed and implemented under the UNIX operating system to incorporate two major extensions: support of user-defined Abstract Data Types and operators, and built-in Design Data Versioning. The design, implementation, and possible extensions to these new facilities …

Vector Quantization Of True-Color Images, Stephen H. Kristy Jan 1986

Vector Quantization Of True-Color Images, Stephen H. Kristy

Theses

Vector quantization (VQ) has recently emerged as a powerful and efficient technique for digital speech and image coding. The goal of such a process is data compression: to minimize communication channel capacity or digital storage memory requirements while maintaining an acceptable fidelity level of the data. A review of various VQ algorithms and their respective design considerations as applied to color images is given. Fidelity measurements and signal-to-noise ratio calculations are discussed. A modified mean-residual vector quantizer using the LBG design algorithm with color signal preprocessing is described. The algorithm is developed to yield a bit rate of 0.709 bits …


Resonant Dc/Dc Converters: Modeling, Control Strategies, Simulation, And Experimental Studies, Yung-Lin Lin Jan 1986

Resonant Dc/Dc Converters: Modeling, Control Strategies, Simulation, And Experimental Studies, Yung-Lin Lin

Theses

Resonant power converters are switched RLC circuits where the switching action creates oscillatory current and voltage waveforms at the resonant frequency of the circuit . There are two basic types of resonant converters: the series type and the parallel type. In the series resonant converter the output i s connected in series with the resonating elements which are comprised of the resonant inductor and capacitor. In the parallel resonant converter, the voltage across the capacitor is sensed and coupled to the output port. The output parameter (voltage in the series resonant converters or current in the parallel resonant converters) and …
