Independence Fault Collapsing and Concurrent Test Generation
(2008-09-09)
The objective of this work is to find suitable targets for Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) such that a minimal test set is obtained for a combinational circuit. Original concepts of independence fault collapsing ...
Electromagnetic induction systems for discrimination among metallic targets
(2008-09-09)
This dissertation discusses the ability of time- and frequency-domain electromagnetic induction (EMI) systems to discriminate unexploded ordnance (UXO) from clutter. The chief contribution of this work is to demonstrate ...
Fabrication and Assembly of Ultra Thin Flexible Active Printed Circuits
(2008-09-09)
Tremendous attention has been focused on flexible printed circuits for their light weight, minimized dimension and three dimensional packaging capabilities. However, the traditional flexible circuit fabrication and assembly ...
Predicting Generator Coupling Using Power System Impedance Matrices
(2008-09-09)
The combination of power flows on multiple lines constitutes a flowgate. Transmission flowgates are one tool being used to deal with wide-area stability issues because experience with dynamic simulation suggests that ...
An Accurate CMOS Four-Quadrant Analog Multiplier
(2008-09-09)
Analog multipliers are used in communication circuits, neural networks as well as frequency doublers, RMS circuits and phase detectors. High linearity is the prime issue for multipliers in conventional applications like ...
Modeling a Fuel Cell System for Residential Dwellings
(2008-09-09)
Fuel cells produce electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water. Fuel cells have unique electrical characteristics and performances that warrant examination and discussion. From the hydrogen source to the ...
Using Identity-Based Privacy-Protected Access Control Filter (IPACF) To Against Denial of Service Attacks and Protect User Privacy
(2008-09-09)
Denial of service (DoS)/Distributed DoS (DDoS) attack is an eminent threat to an authentication server, which is used to guard access to firewalls, virtual private networks and wired/wireless networks. The major problem ...
Electronically Steerable Antenna Array using PCB-based MEMS Phase Shifters
(2008-09-09)
In this thesis, a novel approach for cost effective fabrication and assembly of MEMS based Electronically steerable antenna (ESA) arrays’ using flexible printed circuit processing techniques has been developed. The critical ...
MEMS Based Tunable Microstrip Patch Antenna Fabricated Using Printed Circuit Processing Techniques
(2008-09-09)
This thesis presents MEMS-based electrostatically tunable microstrip patch antennas fabricated using printed circuit processing techniques. The microstrip patch is patterned on the top side of a flexible kapton polyimide ...
Analysis of DC Power Systems Containing Induction Motor-Drive Loads
(2008-09-09)
The development of an analytical method used for conducting a power flow analysis on a DC power system containing multiple motor-drive loads is presented. The method is fast, simplistic, easy to implement, and produces ...
