This paper presents the analysis, design, simulation, and test results for a Fractional-N PLL frequency synthesizer. The synthesizer is designed to cover multiple frequency bands, require low power, and have low noise. ...

Low Speed Orthogonal Hot Machining With a Virtual Quick Stop Device 

Patillo, Jonathan Maxmillian Edward (2016-05-06)
Cocquilhat first documented (1851) how heat in a tool shortens the life of the tool. Research since his time has generally concluded that the tool gives up a relatively higher percentage of its “cold hardness and toughness” ...

Low Temperature Modeling of I-V Characteristics and RF Small Signal Parameters of SiGe HBTs 

Xu, Ziyan (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 ...

Low Temperature Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide Using Microfibrous Entrapped Catalysts for Fire Escape Mask Application 

Karanjikar, Mukund (2005-08-15)
The prime reason for life casualties in fire is not the fire itself but poisoning caused by presence of carbon monoxide. It has been reported by American Medical Association that CO causes about 2100 deaths per year and ...

Low-Bandwidth Three Dimensional Mapping and Latency Reducing Model Prediction to Improve Teleoperation of Robotic Vehicles 

Woodall, William (2012-07-25)
This thesis uses novel three dimensional sensors like the Microsoft Kinect [1] and the Asus Xtion Pro Live [2] to generate three dimensional environments and use the recon- structed environment with a predictive model in ...

Low-Cost, Rapid, Sensitive Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria Using Phage-Based Magnetoelastic Biosensors 

Horikawa, Shin (2013-04-05)
As part of the ongoing efforts to secure food safety as well as to guard against possible bioterrorism, the role of pathogen detection technologies has become vital. However, conventional and standard detection methods, ...

Low-dose clozapine but not haloperidol attenuates ketamine-induced deficits under an incremental repeated acquisition procedure 

Shen, Andrew (2014-08-07)
Ketamine, like other N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, causes both locomotor and cognitive dysfunction, decrements that may be mediated by distinct neurotransmitter systems. The present study was designed ...

A Low-Effort Animated Data Structure Visualization Creation System 

Barowski, Larry (2014-07-09)
Algorithm animations and high level data structure visualizations are not widely used, in part because producing them is difficult and time consuming. Algorithm animation and data structure visualization systems attempt ...

A Low-Power Analog Bus for On-Chip Digital Communication 

Taher, Farah (2013-07-10)
At present, performance and efficiency of a system-on-chip (SoC) design depends significantly on the on-chip global communication across various modules on the chip. On-chip communication is mostly implemented using a bus ...

Low-Power, High-Performance Frequency Dividers for a Phase-Locked Loop 

Daniels, Kyle (2020-03-16)
The world embraces the dawn of 5G implementation, and there is much work to be done. Companies, researchers, engineers, and many more posterities of people are pressing into high-frequency ranges, which presents a plethora ...

Low-Slip Force Friction Connections for Early Phase Energy Dissipation in Steel Structures 

Koch, Patrick (2015-11-10)
Previous research suggests adding early phase energy dissipation to structural steel systems can improve seismic performance. This can be achieved with a Low-slip Force Friction (LSFF) damper designed to activate prior to ...
