Digital Filtering With The Iapx 86/20, Robert E. Canright
Digital Filtering With The Iapx 86/20, Robert E. Canright
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The iAPX 86/20 (8086 with the 8087 numeric coprocessor) is considered for digital filtering. The advantage in using the iAPX 86/20 lies in the 80-bit width of the 8087 floating-point arithmetic-registers. With such large arithmetic registers, the effects of coefficient roundoff and arithmetic roundoff errors on the filter output are reduced. The price paid for the improved numerical performance is the increased time spent by the system moving data to and from memory. The method of Knowles and Olcayto for measuring the effect of coefficient roundoff is studies in detail. This method is applied to an example filter in order …

Solvents For Use In The Extractive Distillation Of Piperylene Concentrate, Abdulhadi Sagga
Solvents For Use In The Extractive Distillation Of Piperylene Concentrate, Abdulhadi Sagga
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This report describes an evaluation of the effectiveness of different solvents and solvent-organometallic compound mixtures for use in the extractive distillation of a piperylene mixture, consisting of five carbon olefins and diolefins obtained as a byproduct from an ethylene feedstock production plant. The most effective solvent is judged to be the one which gives the best separation of the lowest boiling and highest boiling points of the key components in the mixture. In this study twenty solvents and solvent mixtures were tested. Acetonitrile was found to be the most effective solvent and nitromethane the next most effective.
Testing Of Active Feedback Applied To Piezoelectric Devices, William H. Barrow
Testing Of Active Feedback Applied To Piezoelectric Devices, William H. Barrow
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to test a unique implementation of active feedback applied to a low frequency piezoelectric transducer. Understanding that active feedback can be used to shape the frequency response of an electrical system a method for applying active electroacoustical feedback will be used to obtain a wider acoustical bandwidth in a piezoelectric transmitter. By applying active feedback to a resonant device its bandwidth was increased by a factor of 2.5. This is a significant improvement for applications where minimum electrical phase shift versus frequency is desired.

Saving The Speech Communication Department: A Symposium, Andrew D. Wolvin
Saving The Speech Communication Department: A Symposium, Andrew D. Wolvin
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Introducing a symposium on departmental survival, this piece frames speech communication as both increasingly important to American business and industry and vulnerable within higher education retrenchment. It summarizes evidence that workplace communication depends heavily on listening, speaking, interpersonal interaction, interviewing, writing, persuasion, and small group problem solving, while noting that some universities have considered eliminating speech communication departments despite strong enrollments. The introduction connects these pressures to ACA’s survival strategies work and previews case studies from departments facing institutional threat. It emphasizes faculty cohesion, departmental quality, campus political support, and professional resources as important factors in defending speech communication programs.

The Suny, Buffalo, Story, Charles R. Petrie
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Focused on the Department of Communication at SUNY Buffalo, this case study describes a prolonged administrative review shaped by budget reductions, declining student pools, public internal conflict, and loss of faculty lines. The department responded by arguing for communication’s student demand, disciplinary centrality, program quality, and relevance to the university mission, while also experimenting with resource plans, tighter requirements, larger course strategies, and use of part time professionals. When administrators proposed options ranging from phase out to program suspension or reorganization, the department issued an open letter addressing budgetary need, quality, centrality, demand, and internal strife. The case documents an …

Analysis Of Scheduling For Low Cost Part Task Trainers, William Fellows
Analysis Of Scheduling For Low Cost Part Task Trainers, William Fellows
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This study develops a methodology for the analysis of Part Task Trainer (PTT) refresh scheduling used in conjunction with large simulators. A human performance model is defined through the development of descriptive equations and system random variables. PTT scheduling calculations are performed by employing a computer program simulation. The computer algorithm generates a set of random vectors to represent the learning characteristics of a sample group of individual trainees. The relationships between simulator scheduling time, PTT frequency training, and model variables are demonstrated to be user interactive. This will allow the PTT refresh scheduling program to be used as an …

The Use Of Computer Vision To Close The Control Loop Of A Robot Arm, Randall S. Janka
The Use Of Computer Vision To Close The Control Loop Of A Robot Arm, Randall S. Janka
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Flexible automation is a partial solution to America's industrial and economic recovery and survivability. At the core of this manufacturing technology is the robot whose own flexibility is enhanced through the use of computer vision to close the control loop on the arm and also give the robot environmental intelligence. The basic subdivisions of a computer vision system are sensing, segmentation, description, recognition, and interpretation. When the vision processor analyzes a scene it can give the robot controller symbolic object information and object coordinates. The robot controller transforms such coordinates into its own reference frame through the use of homogeneous …

The Design Of A Deep Ocean Hydrophone, Michael F. Hackathorn
The Design Of A Deep Ocean Hydrophone, Michael F. Hackathorn
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
A design for a deep ocean hydrophone is proposed here. The hydrophone's sound sensing element is comprised of a capped end, piezoelectric cylinder. This sound sensing element is encased in an acoustic coupling fluid filled elastomeric boot. A small diameter tube communicates hydrostatic pressure from the coupling fluid to the interior of the sound sensing element for hydrostatic pressure compensation. The theoretical free field voltage sensitivity, the ratio of open circuit voltage to incident acoustic pressure, is predicted from mathematical model of the sound sensing element.
Pressure Drop Across A Tube Support Plate Of Trefoil Geometry Used In Steam Generator, Raad H. Bashar
Pressure Drop Across A Tube Support Plate Of Trefoil Geometry Used In Steam Generator, Raad H. Bashar
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This research is concerned with the presentation of pressure drop experimental results across a restriction of trefoil geometry (tube support plate) used in steam generators. The pressure drops were obtained for single-phase and two-phase of air, water, and their mixtures. The tests were performed at atmospheric conditions (pressure and temperature). The loss coefficients associated with these pressure drops were experimentally determined, and empirical correlations for the results were developed. The results were compared with previous studies done on other geometries with air-water mixtures, and also to a similar geometry with steam-water mixture.
