5-Bit Dual-Slope Analog-To-Digital Converter-Based Time-To-Digital Converter Chip Design In Cmos Technology, Jojoe S. Sagoe

LSU Master's Theses

Time-to-Digital Converters (TDC) have gained increasing importance in modern implementations of mixed-signal, data-acquisition and processing interfaces and are used to perform high precision time intervals in systems that incorporate Time-of-Flight (ToF) or Time-of-Arrival (ToA) measurements. The linearity of TDCs is very crucial since most Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems require very linear inputs to achieve high accuracy.

In this work, a TDC has been designed in the 0.5 μm n-well CMOS process that can be used for on-chip integration and in applications requiring high linearity. This TDC used a Dual-Slope-ADC-based architecture for the time-to-digital conversion and consists of the following …

A Comparison Of Contextual Bandit Approaches To Human-In-The-Loop Robot Task Completion With Infrequent Feedback, Matt Mcneill, Damian Lyons

Faculty Publications

Artificially intelligent assistive agents are playing an increased role in our work and homes. In contrast with currently predominant conversational agents, whose intelligence derives from dialogue trees and external modules, a fully autonomous domestic or workplace robot must carry out more complex reasoning. Such a robot must make good decisions as soon as possible, learn from experience, respond to feedback, and rely on feedback only as much as necessary. In this research, we narrow the focus of a hypothetical robot assistant to a room tidying task in a simulated domestic environment. Given an item, the robot chooses where to put …

Choice Of Basic Parameters, Calculation And Design Of Pulse Magnetizing Devices, J.F. Kurbanov

Journal of Tashkent Institute of Railway Engineers

The purpose of this work is to develop methods and devices degaussing rail lashes. Magnetization in railway transport plays an important role for the safety of train traffic. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods and devices for the demagnetization of products in railway automation and remote control, which is an urgent task. The residual magnetization leads to swelling of the welded joints of the rails, which leads to the formation of cracks, which can lead to train accidents during their movement. During the operation of the railways, magnetization also occurs due to the rotation of the wheel sets and …
