Power and Performance Optimization of Static CMOS Circuits with Process Variation
(2008-09-09)
With the continuing trend of technology scaling, leakage power has become a main contributor to power consumption. Dual threshold (dual-Vth) assignment has emerged as an efficient technique for decreasing leakage power. ...
Development of an Autonomous Mobile Robot-Trailer System for UXO Detection
(2008-09-09)
The process of finding and removing unexploded ordnance (UXO) from contaminated sites is an expensive and time consuming task. In this thesis, an autonomous mobile robot-trailer system is developed for this purpose. It ...
Design and Implementation of a Software Defined Radio Receiver for AM Band
(2008-09-09)
Since the mid-1990s, the radio industry has actively focused on implementing more and more radio functions in the digital domain. This has been furthered by availability of high speed, high performance data converters and ...
Nonlinear Control and Design Methodologies for Electrostatic MEMS Devices
(2008-09-09)
A method to extend the travel range of electrostatically actuated MEMS device is presented. A gap closing actuator (GCA) is used to demonstrate the method. An output (position)feedback controller is presented, along with ...
Efforts Toward Design, Development and Implementation of an Integrated and Flexible Support System for Calibration of Air Data Attitude Heading Reference Systems
(2008-09-09)
An Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System is a device that provides a modern day Aircraft with altitude, air-speed, attitude, and magnetic parameters. A typical ADAHRS contains a number of tightly integrated sensors ...
Minimizing N-Detect Tests for Combinational Circuits
(2008-09-09)
An N-detect test set detects each stuck-at fault by at least N different vectors. N-detect tests are of practical interest because of their ability to improve the defect coverage. The main problem that limits their use is ...
A Study of Vibration-Induced Fretting Corrosion for Electrical Connectors
(2008-09-09)
Vibration induced fretting degradation is a widely recognized failure phenomenon. However, the basic mechanisms that control the onset and progression of such fretting behavior are not well understood and are a topic of ...
Efficient Image Restoration Algorithms for Near-Circulant Systems
(2008-09-09)
The problem of image restoration has been extensively studied for its practical importance as well as its theoretical interest. Restoration problem arises in almost every branch
of engineering and applied physics. The ...
