Emperor's New Clothes, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1997-1998 Season

A vain emperor who cares about nothing except wearing and displaying clothes hires weavers who promise him they will make him the best suit of clothes. The weavers are con-men who convince the emperor they are using a fine fabric invisible to anyone who is either unfit for his position or "hopelessly stupid". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes

Signal Generator To Calibrate Read-Write Recording Head Testers, Jagdeep Buttar

Master's Projects

In hard disk drives, a read write recording head is an essential component. Millions of recording heads are produced each year. Testing these heads on various testers is an imposing task. Read Write channels are emulated on these testers to test the functionality of these heads. The testers must be calibrated periodically, particularly in a production environment. This project focuses on improving this calibration process by developing a new calibration technique. An improved method of calibrating Peak Detection and Synchronous Channels used in testers is designed and verified.

The signal generator designed for calibrating Peak Detection Channel was fabricated into …

Simulation Study Of Learning Automata Games In Automated Highway Systems, Cem Unsal, Pushkin Kachroo, John S. Bay

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

One of the most important issues in Automated Highway System (AHS) deployment is intelligent vehicle control. While the technology to safely maneuver vehicles exists, the problem of making intelligent decisions to improve a single vehicle’s travel time and safety while optimizing the overall traffic flow is still a stumbling block. We propose an artificial intelligence technique called stochastic learning automata to design an intelligent vehicle path controller. Using the information obtained by on-board sensors and local communication modules, two automata are capable of learning the best possible (lateral and longitudinal) actions to avoid collisions. This learning method is capable of …

Sliding Mode For User Equilibrium Dynamic Traffic Routing Control, Pushkin Kachroo, Kaan Ozbay

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Research

Presents a solution to the user equilibrium dynamic traffic routing (DTR) problem for a point diversion case using feedback control methodology. The sliding mode control technique which is a robust control methodology applicable to nonlinear systems in canonical form is employed to solve the user equilibrium DTR problem. The canonical form for this problem is obtained by using a feedback linearization technique, and the uncertainties of the system are countered by using the sliding mode principle. Simulation results show promising results.

Phase Diagrams Of A Binary Smectic-A Mixture, Hao-Wen Chiu, Thein Kyu

College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering

A variety of smectic phase diagrams involving smectic-isotropic and smectic-nematic-isotropic transitions have been calculated based on a combination of Flory-Huggins (FH) theory for isotropic mixing and Maier-Saupe-McMillan (MSM) theory for smectic-A ordering of liquid crystals (LC). To describe the mesophase transitions, two nematic order parameters and two smectic order parameters have been coupled through the normalized orientation distribution and partition functions. Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (chi) for isotropic mixing and the coupling term involving the nematic interaction parameter (nu) and the McMillan smectic interaction parameter (alpha) for phase transitions of liquid crystals have been incorporated in the calculation. The predictive capability …

Phase Jitter In Mpsk Carrier Tracking Loops: Analytical, Simulation And Laboratory Results, Brian T. Kopp, William P. Osborne

Articles

A performance characteristic of M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) receivers is the variance of the phase error between the received and recovered signal carriers. For binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) loops utilizing integrate and dump filters and operating in the linear region, closed-form solutions for this variance exist [1], [2]. In this paper the variance is found by numerical methods for M > 4. For verification and to investigate operation in the nonlinear region, computer simulation and hardware modeling were used [3].

Waterfall Lasers, Lee W. Casperson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Laser concepts can be applied to a broad range of physical phenomena. One of the closest parallels occurs with the fluttering oscillations that are sometimes observed in the falling sheets of water associated with fountains, dams, and natural waterfalls. In many respects these fluid feedback oscillations are similar to the electromagnetic modes of typical lasers, and recognition of this similarity led to the interpretation of the waterfall behavior. Gain profiles for the waterfall oscillations are developed, and the relationship of experimental waterfall data to the laser-like models is considered in detail.

Analysis Of Uranium Oxide Weathering By Molecular Spectroscopy, Matthew S. Zickafoose

Theses and Dissertations

A preliminary study of the weathering of uranium oxide particles diluted in diamond dust at ambient environmental conditions is presented. The primary weathering reaction is oxidation of the uranium from the 4 to 6 oxidation state, although formation of compounds such as carbonates and hydroxides is possible. Identification of the state of uranium oxide has been attempted using luminescence spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy DRIFTS. Luminescence spectra of nominal samples of three common oxides, UO3, U3O8, and UO2, have been measured showing significant spectral differences in peaks at 494 nm, 507 nm, 529 nm, and 553 nm. …
