Accelerating path planning algorithms with field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) allows the designer to achieve significant performance increases over using a traditional central processing unit (CPU). Converting an ...
A fundamental tradeoff exists in radar transmitter design between linearity and
efficiency due to the signal amplification. These transmitters are driven into saturation in
order to increase efficiency, but may potentially ...
Renewable sources of energy, such as wind, are necessary to meet the growing demand as conventional energy sources are depleted. Very little research has been accomplished to improve wind turbine performance in Class 2 ...
Facial age estimation from images is a difficult problem, both because it is naturally difficult to tell the exact age of a person visually, and because of the variations in images, such as illumination, pose, and expression. ...
In recent years P2P systems have gained tremendous popularity. Support of a transaction processing facility in P2P systems would provide databases at a low cost. Extending distributed database algorithms such as 2PC and ...
Like ordinary symmetries, anti-symmetries are
defined in terms of relations between function cofactors. For
ordinary symmetries, two cofactors must be equal, for anti-symmetries
two cofactors must be complements of ...
A method for determining the symmetries of the inputs of a logic gate either from its truth table or from facts obtained by inspection of its circuit is presented. The symmetry rule of a gate with n inputs is defined in ...
The Ontological Discovery Environment (ODE) provides an efficient structure for storage of gene and pheno-
type relations. The relations can be represented by a bipartite graph, where the gene and phenotype items
can be ...
Non-invasive measuring techniques for determining biological parameters are more heavily researched with the growth of the biomedical industry. One of the top areas in non-invasive research deals with diabetes. This ...
Several research problems are discussed, including communication mechanisms and the interface between components and the glue logic used to tie them together. A technique for engineering new component-level applications ...
The Field Programmable Gate Array's (FPGA) constant growth in computing power has given embedded system developers a choice to replace their current processors with a FPGA. However, most systems continue to use the original ...
The characterization of the symmetries of boolean functions is important both in automatic layout synthesis, and in automatic verification of manually created layouts. It is possible to characterize the symmetries of an ...
This software package can be used to create the FHDL library file. This library allows one to use the FHDL parser and simulator software in your own projects. The package can be compiled either under Linux (i.e. gcc) or ...
Coconuts grow abundantly in tropical regions, and the coconut husk is often discarded as waste. However, a new application has increased interest in developing this previously underutilized resource. Coconut pith has ...
With the current state of legacy military avionic systems reaching its ceiling in memory space, processing power, and data-bus through-put (bandwidth), a need has arisen to maximize its limited resources to avoid extensive ...
In this report, I offer a technique for computing power sums that is: intuitive, well-motivated, generalizable to all k, and suitable for presentation to pre-calculus students.
This thesis presents design, analysis and simulation of a new current control
scheme for wind power generation system (WPGS). Proportional plus resonance (PR)
controller is proposed to improve the accuracy of the control ...
Due to the increasing environmental and economic cost of fossil fuels, alternative sources of energy are needed. One such source is energy wind energy. Much of the current wind turbine research focuses on large-scale wind ...
The problem facing the United Sates electric power industry today can be attributed to society’s ever increasing demand for energy, environmental concerns with reliance on fossil fuels, and uncertainty about an aging ...
This thesis presents the model of a power conditioning system (PCS) for the
hybrid direct fuel-cell with turbine (DFC/T) power plant. It regulates voltage, current and
power transmitted from the hybrid DFC/T power plant ...
