Design of circuits for sub-threshold voltages : implementation of adders
(2016-05-19)The demand and the need for low-power circuits is an ever increasing trend particularly due to the added overhead of design of efficient cooling systems or more sophisticated and expensive packaging techniques. In most new ... -
The Design of Comprehensive Microsimulator of Household Vehicle Fleet Composition, Utilization, and Evolution
(National Academy of Sciences, 2011)This paper describes a comprehensive vehicle fleet composition, utilization, and evolution simulator that can be used to forecast household vehicle ownership and mileage by type of vehicle over time. The components of ... -
Design of Deryaft : a novel framework for generating representation invariants of structurally complex data
(2007-12)This dissertation presents a novel approach for generating likely structural invariants of complex data structures. Generating likely invariants using dynamic analyses is becoming an increasingly effective technique in ... -
Design of desktop-scale metal wire-feed prototyping machine
(2016-12-05)The appearance of desktop 3D printers has inspired a trend toward increased personal fabrication. However, there are few desktop systems that can process metal for prototyping. This thesis reports on the design of a desktop ... -
The design of feedback channels for wireless networks : an optimization-theoretic view
(2011-08)The fundamentally fluctuating nature of the strength of a wireless link poses a significant challenge when seeking to achieve reliable communication at high data rates. Common sense, supported by information theory, tells ... -
The Design of Homopolar Motor-Generators for Pulsed Power Applications
(1975-11)The need for inexpensive pulsed power for fusion research is becoming more intense as the size of these experiments rapidly increases. Nearly all experimental investigations now proposed require energy stores of hundreds ... -
Design of large diameter monopiles for offshore wind turbines in clay
Offshore wind power has great potential as a clean and renewable energy source that is capable of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. The main drawback of offshore wind power is its comparatively high capital cost. One ... -
Design of laterally loaded monopile foundations in sand for offshore wind turbines
(2017-06-28)Globally renewable energy is gaining popularity with the largest scope in offshore wind energy. Although USA is one of the leaders in the onshore wind industry, it is yet to tap into the abundance of coastline it has ... -
Design of low-power area-efficient continuous-time [delta-sigma] ADC using VCO-based integrators with intrinsic CLA
(2013-05)In this thesis, the design of a scaling-friendly continuous-time closed-loop voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based Delta-Sigma analog to digital converter (ADC) is introduced. It uses the VCO as both quantizer and ... -
Design of magneto-inductive waveguide for sensing applications
(2014-05)This dissertation has been motivated by the increasing application of sensing technologies in structural health monitoring. Many wireless sensor techniques exist for structural health monitoring while a challenge faced is ... -
Design of MSE retaining walls placed in front of a stable face
(2007-08)Widening of existing highways often results in new mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls being placed in front of existing stable walls. The design of these walls is unique because limited right-of-way often forces the ... -
Design of multiple frequency continuous wave radar hardware and micro-Doppler based detection and classification algorithms
(2008-05)Micro-Doppler is defined as scattering produced by non-rigid-body motion. This dissertation involves the design of a multiple frequency continuous wave (MFCW) radar for micro-Doppler research and detection and classification ... -
Design of nanocomposites for electrocatalysis and energy storage : metal/metal oxide nanoparticles on carbon supports
(2012-08)Controlling catalyst morphology and composition are required to make meaningful structure-activity/stability relationships for the design of future catalysts. Herein, we have employed strategies of presynthesis and infusion ... -
Design of novel catalysts by infusion of presynthesized nanocrystals into mesoporous supports
(2008-08)Traditionally, supported metal catalysts have been synthesized by reduction of precursors directly over the support. In these techniques, it is challenging to control the metal cluster size, composition and crystal structure. ... -
Design of parallel multipliers and dividers in quantum-dot cellular automata
(2011-05)Conventional CMOS (the current dominant technology for VLSI) implemented with ever smaller transistors is expected to encounter serious problems in the near future with the need for difficult fabrication technologies. The ... -
Design of particle mitigating wafer chucks for yield enhancement
(2014-08)As the semiconductor industry drives down the minimum feature size on wafers to increase performance and device density, the necessary site flatness of a standard 26 x 33 mm field becomes much more stringent. A significant ... -
Design of platforms for computing context with spatio-temporal locality
(2011-05)This dissertation is in the area of pervasive computing. It focuses on designing platforms for storing, querying, and computing contextual information. More specifically, we are interested in platforms for storing and ... -
Design of Pressure Vessel Cascades for Electromagnetic Launcher
(1988-06)The relatively recent development of very high energy density pulsed power supplies has motivated a renewed interest in the structural design of electromagnetic launchers. Cascade design electromagnetic launcher pressure ...
