A High-Voltage On-Chip Power Distribution Network
(2013-07-10)
With high performance mobile computing devices like tablets and smart-phones virtually swiping the VLSI chip market, the industry is facing the perpetual challenge of optimizing between power and performance, more than ...
Local Repair and Next-hop Backup Route Based improvements in AODV Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2013-07-11)
As Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) continue to experience increasing popularity, several different protocols have been proposed to efficiently transmit data among the participating nodes. These protocols have to be robust ...
Communication model and Optical Flow to Aid Collaborative Robotics Search Strategy
(2013-07-10)
This thesis provides an analysis of how communication among robots improves search performance in a multi-robot search and rescue scenario. Mobility models have been used to represent the movement patterns in vehicular and ...
Nonlinear Field Enhancement factor of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) in Vacuum and Partial Pressure
(2013-04-17)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much attention because of their unique electrical properties and their potential applications. Large aspect ratios of CNTs together with thermal conductivity high mechanical strength ...
Dictionary-Less Defect Diagnosis as Real or Surrogate Single Stuck-At Faults
(2013-04-05)
In this work, an algorithm to diagnose classic single stuck-at-faults and provide surrogate fault suspects for non-classical faults like multiple faults by analyzing failing circuits is proposed. The algorithm is based on ...
A High Throughput Multiplier Design Exploiting Input Based Statistical Distribution in Completion Delays
(2013-05-16)
The primary goal of this work is to ensure that optimum performance is achieved for a Multiplier Design, while reducing as much static power dissipation as possible or atleast equal to their slower counterparts. This design ...
On Multiantenna Spectrum Sensing and Energy-Aware Resource Allocation in Cognitive Radio Networks
(2013-05-06)
This dissertation covers two main parts: 1) low complexity cyclostationarity based spectrum sensing in cognitive radio, and 2) energy efficient resource allocation in cognitive radio networks. Cognitive radio allows ...
Signal Integrity Analysis of Transmission lines in Anisotropic Substrate for High-Speed Data Transmission
(2013-05-06)
Continuous increase in high-speed data rates is essential in today’s world in order to keep up with Moor’s law scaling and to meet application demands. This increase in information transfer rates is essentially limited by ...
Machine Learning Approaches for Disease State Classification from Neuroimaging Data
(2013-05-01)
Automated recognition and classification of brain diseases are of tremendous value to society. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a diverse spectrum disorder whose clinical diagnosis is based on behavior. ...
DVF4: A Dual Vth Feedback Type 4-Transistor Level Converter
(2013-11-01)
Power dissipation in digital circuits has become one of the primary concerns in elec-
tronic design. With the increasing usage of portable devices, there are severe restrictions
being placed on the size, weight and power ...
