(2009-04-14)
In today's society there is a growing trend where microwave wireless devices are becom-
ing common in every household and workplace. The increasing desire for these devices is to
create smaller low power devices. There ...
Registration and Tracking of Objects with Computer Vision for Autonomous Vehicles
(2009-04-15)
For this research, an autonomous leader-follower vehicle caravan is being designed using computer vision. The focus of this research is to investigate computer vision methods of identifying objects detected by the leader ...
High Speed ROM-Less Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer
(2009-08-04)
This dissertation presents a complete flow for design and evaluation of high speed direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDS). Though some ultra high speed DDSs have already been reported in the literature, to satisfy the ...
Global and Local Cardiac Functional Analysis with Cine MR Imaging: A Non-Rigid Image Registration Approach
(2009-08-05)
According to the World Health Report 2003, cardiovascular disease (CVD) made up $29.2\%$ of total global deaths, which highlights the importance of clinical cardiovascular research. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has ...
Reconstruction of Parametric Image Maps in Single- and Multiple-Coil Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(2009-07-28)
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a standard tool to measure the hemodynamic response which is related to activation patterns in the human and animal brain. In conventional anatomical MRI, the decay and ...
Typical Response of the ADXRS300 Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) Gyroscope in Acoustically Harsh Environments
(2009-08-03)
In this thesis, the basic theory behind vibratory MEMS gyroscopes will be discussed to show how some of the design parameters originate. Also, a survey of commercially available MEMS gyros will be presented. In addition, ...
Low Temperature Modeling of I-V Characteristics and RF Small Signal Parameters of SiGe HBTs
(2009-11-11)
SiGe HBT has been attached great attention recently to be used for space exploration due to its high-quality performance compared with conventional Si bipolar transistor over an extremely wide temperature range. The ...
A Robot Mounted Electromagnetic Induction System for Identification of a UXO Free Corridor
(2009-11-11)
This thesis gives a complete overview of a time domain electromagnetic induction system developed for identification of a UXO free corridor. An EMI sensor typically consists of the transmitter and receiver coils to induct ...
Built-In Self-Test for Digital Signal Processor Cores in Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(2010-05-04)
Current Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) incorporate special cores, apart from logic, such as digital signal processor (DSP) cores. The DSP cores can be cascaded to implement complex functions. An effective test ...
