Model-Referenced Adaptive Control Of Plants With Noise And Inaccessible State Vector, Donald James Schooley
Model-Referenced Adaptive Control Of Plants With Noise And Inaccessible State Vector, Donald James Schooley
Doctoral Dissertations
"The problems of process noise, measurement noise, and inaccessible process state vector in the model-referenced system of Shackcloth-Butchart-Parks (SBP) are investigated. Since the system no longer possesses a static equilibrium point, the concept of asymptotic stability does not apply. However, by using Liapunov-like ideas, the error between the plant (process plus controller) and the model is shown to enter a region about the origin if certain bounds are known. A possible technique for reducing the size of this region is to feedback a function of the error into the plant's input. Several methods of circumventing the inaccessible state vector problem …

A Model For Predicting The Energizing Transients Of Station Capacitor Banks, Dennis Oliver Wiitanen
Doctoral Dissertations
"A model for predicting the transients associated with energizing ungrounded wye-connected station capacitor banks was developed. The model has the capability of simulating non-simultaneous operation of the breaker poles, pre-insertion resistors, and the presence of previously energized capacitor banks at the same station. To investigate various system representations, a computer solution of the transient response of an arbitrary network and the computer solution of the generalized Thevenin impedance of a complex network are presented. A simple power system is defined and used to investigate the modeling of various system components, using the computer solution methods. Simplification of the model due …

A Simulation And Diagnosis System Incorporating Various Time Delay Models And Functional Elements, David Michael Rouse
Doctoral Dissertations
"The application of digital simulation to all phases of digital network design is considered here as oppossed [sic] to development of simulation for one or two restricted parts of the digital process. For this reason a simulator is presented which can be consistent by varying the level of expression from the simulation of architectural structures to such detailed simulation requirements as race analysis of asynchronous sequential circuits. In order to make system simulation more than just an idea, it must be capable of handling large circuits in reasonable times. It is demonstrated that functional simulation has the potential to increase …

Iddap -- Interactive Computer Assistance For Creative Digital Design, Richard Franklin Crall
Doctoral Dissertations
"A new computer-aided design program to assist in the initial phases of logical design is described. The program, intended for use via an on-line remote terminal, will allow the designer to study and experiment with design alternatives during the initial creative design phases. An ALGOL-like language is used for specifying the system being designed. In addition to simulating the design, the program allows the user to perform on-line design changes, reorganize data and generate timing diagram information"--Abstract, page ii.
Synthesis Heuristics For Large Asynchronous Sequential Circuits, Robert Judson Smith
Synthesis Heuristics For Large Asynchronous Sequential Circuits, Robert Judson Smith
Doctoral Dissertations
"Many well-known synthesis procedures for asynchronous sequential circuits produce minimal or near-minimal results, but are practical only for very small problems. These algorithms become unwieldy when applied to "large" circuits with, for example, three or more input variables and twenty or more internal states. New heuristic procedures are described which permit the synthesis of very large machines. Although the resulting designs are generally not minimal, the heuristics are able to produce near-minimal solutions orders of magnitude more rapidly than the minimal algorithms. A method for specifying sequential circuit behavior is presented. Input-output sequences define submachines or modules. When properly interconnected, …
