A Timer Module For An 8051 Microcontroller, Troy England
A Timer Module For An 8051 Microcontroller, Troy England
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
A timer module for an 8051 Microcontroller is designed from the ground up. It could potentially be integrated into a larger 8051 for use in lunar and Martian missions. It follows through a synchronous digital design flow from HDL code through layout verification. The timer shows functionality at 100MHz with some minor glitches.
Measurement Of Absolute Argon Excited State Populations And Electron Energy Distribution Functions In An Ar-A-Si Plasma, Katherine Herring
Measurement Of Absolute Argon Excited State Populations And Electron Energy Distribution Functions In An Ar-A-Si Plasma, Katherine Herring
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Deposition systems utilizing plasma are used for a variety of tasks, including tool coatings and creating thin-film materials. In order to have repeatable results, the internal conditions of a plasma chamber need to be known. This project centered on the use of data from optical emissions and a Langmuir probe from an argon plasma amorphous silicon depositing system. An electron energy distribution function (EEDF) was obtained from manipulation of the Langmuir probe data. This EEDF was then input to an argon collisional-radiative model (CRM) to obtain the electron population of the 4p level of the argon plasma. Through an absolute …
A Review Of Variable Valve Timing Devices, Paul Shelton
A Review Of Variable Valve Timing Devices, Paul Shelton
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Variable valve timing (VVT) has evolved from simple, manual controlled engine management to automatic, electronic works of engineering. Starting from the need for more power and extending into fuel efficiency and low emissions, VVT has evolved from the constant changing of needs. This paper summarizes various devices used to control the timing of valves from the early 1920s up until 2007.
