Towards A Methodology For Integrated Freeform Manufacturing Systems Development With A Control Systems Emphasis, Jacquelyn K. Stroble Jan 2007

Towards A Methodology For Integrated Freeform Manufacturing Systems Development With A Control Systems Emphasis, Jacquelyn K. Stroble

Masters Theses

"A variety of fully integrated Freeform Fabrication (FFF) systems have been developed, a selected group for research and several for commercialization. The design methodology behind most of them is not documented, standardized, or rational. It is important to understand that the final product from any integrated system is affected not only by the unit manufacturing processes themselves, but also by the extent the individual units are assimilated into an integrated process. Thus, a scheme consisting of eight steps and the salient five elements necessary to create or retrofit an existing system to achieve an Integrated Freeform Manufacturing System (FFMS) is …


Reinforcement-Learning Based Output-Feedback Controller For Nonlinear Discrete-Time System With Application To Spark Ignition Engines Operating Lean And Egr, Peter Shih Jan 2007

Reinforcement-Learning Based Output-Feedback Controller For Nonlinear Discrete-Time System With Application To Spark Ignition Engines Operating Lean And Egr, Peter Shih

Masters Theses

"A spark ignition (SI) engine can be described by non-strict feedback nonlinear discrete-time system with the output dependent upon on the states in a nonlinear manner. The controller developed in this thesis utilizes the inherent universal approximation property of neural networks (NN) to simplify the design process and solve the non-causality problem inherent with traditional designs. It also exploits a long-term performance index called the strategic utility function to minimize and assist in updating of the NN weights; therefore, an optimal controller can be realized. Finally, through Lyapunov equations, the controller guarantees stability"--Abstract, page iv.


Generic Algorithms And Null Convention Logic Hardware Implementation For Unsigned And Signed Quad-Rail Multiplication, Samarsen Reddy Mallepalli Jan 2007

Generic Algorithms And Null Convention Logic Hardware Implementation For Unsigned And Signed Quad-Rail Multiplication, Samarsen Reddy Mallepalli

Masters Theses

"This thesis focuses on designing generic quad-rail arithmetic circuits, such as signed and unsigned multipliers and Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) units, using the asynchronous delay-insensitive NULL Convention Logic (NCL) paradigm. This work helps to build a library of reusable components to be used for automated NCL circuit synthesis, which will aid in the integration of asynchronous design paradigms into the semiconductor industry"--Abstract, page iii.


Optimal Formation Of Supplier Networks For Product Design And Production Phases To Realize An Evolving Product Family, Padmavathi K. Pakala Jan 2007

Optimal Formation Of Supplier Networks For Product Design And Production Phases To Realize An Evolving Product Family, Padmavathi K. Pakala

Masters Theses

"Due to rapid changes in customer requirements and vast improvements in technology, many product development companies have identified strategies like time-to-market (TTM) compression and product family development as critical for attaining success in today's hyper-competitive markets. Compressing the TTM, to a large extent, is dependent on the suppliers and the project execution skills of the integrator companies. This study presents a methodology for selecting suppliers for two significant phases of the product realization process, namely, product design and production. The proposed methodology uses a two-stage approach for supplier selection where suppliers for product design are selected in the first stage …


Delay-Insensitive Ternary Logic (Ditl), Ravi Sankar Parameswaran Nair Jan 2007

Delay-Insensitive Ternary Logic (Ditl), Ravi Sankar Parameswaran Nair

Masters Theses

"This thesis focuses on development of a Single Rail Ternary Voltage Delay-Insensitive paradigm called Delay-Insensitive Ternary Logic (DITL), which is based on NULL Convention Logic (NCL). Single rail asynchronous logic has potential advantages over Dual-Rail logic such as reduction of Power and Interconnect as well as Logic Area. The DITL concept is developed in steps of individual circuit components. These components are designed at the transistor level and are connected together to form a registered pipeline system. Some variations in pipeline design are also investigated"--Abstract, page iii.

Interactive And Dialogue Based Learning In Engineering Education, Siddartha Thummuri Jan 2007

Interactive And Dialogue Based Learning In Engineering Education, Siddartha Thummuri

Masters Theses

"This thesis focuses on a class room architecture that provides high levels of interactivity which enhances the students' learning environment both in distance and on-campus contexts and forms a basis for practical learning. Two analyses are presented in this thesis, the first one being a simple measure of levels of interactivity in this course architecture, based on rubric and the second one, a comparative analysis, to demonstrate the effectiveness of interactive (multi-directional information flow) classrooms as opposed to conventional (unidirectional information flow) classrooms and that this course architecture is ideal for enhancement of distance learning and an excellent route to …

Executable System Architecting Using Systems Modeling Language In Conjunction With Colored Petri Nets - A Demonstration Using The Geoss Network Centric System, Renzhong Wang Jan 2007

Executable System Architecting Using Systems Modeling Language In Conjunction With Colored Petri Nets - A Demonstration Using The Geoss Network Centric System, Renzhong Wang

Masters Theses

"Models and simulation furnish abstractions to manage complexities allowing engineers to visualize the proposed system and to analyze and validate system behavior before constructing it. Unified Modeling Language (UML) and its systems engineering extension, Systems Modeling Language (SysML), provide a rich set of diagrams for systems specification. However, the lack of executable semantics of such notations limits the capability of analyzing and verifying defined specifications. This research has developed an executable system architecting framework based on SysML-CPN transformation, which introduces dynamic model analysis into SysML modeling by mapping SysML notations to Colored Petri Net (CPN), a graphical language for system …


A Quantitative Study Of Gene Identification Techniques Based On Evolutionary Rationales, Cyriac Kandoth Jan 2007

A Quantitative Study Of Gene Identification Techniques Based On Evolutionary Rationales, Cyriac Kandoth

Masters Theses

"Current gene identification (GI) techniques typically rely on matching biological or chemical properties of specific genes, specific species, specific ecotypes, etc...In this thesis, a new automated GI technique is proposed, and compared against another computer-based technique proposed earlier. Both methods utilize EST data available from NCBI databases to discover previously unknown genes. The newly proposed method identifies one gene family at a time and is based on a distinctive negative selection pattern (NSP) of differences, which is seen between the coding regions of gene family members. The other technique, called ESTminer, attempts genome-wide gene family identification for any organism, by …
