Model Reference Adaptive Control Using Stacked Identifiers
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
Model reference adaptive control is a major design method for controlling plants with uncertain parameters. The primary objective of this dissertation is to develop a new design approach for the model reference adaptive ...
Multi-area Unit Commitment And Economic Dispatch With Market Operation Components
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Unit commitment and economic dispatch, when combined together, is a useful tool to find the most economical generation schedule with which demand and spinning reserve requirement are supplied and all generating unit ...
The Design And Analysis Of Optical Scanners For Optical Coherence Tomography
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A miniature fiber optic scanner capable of two-dimensional scanning for medical imaging is designed and developed. The scanner is actuated externally using an electromagnet. Nickel gel, a soft ferromagnetic material, is ...
Generalization Of Widely Linear Filtering Concepts For Equalization And Interference Suppression In PAM/QAM Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
In PAM/QAM transmission systems, standard Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) linear (LE) or Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) equalization methods are often used to suppress the detrimental effects inter-symbol and/or ...
Improved Refinement Coefficients' Coding In Scalable H.264
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This thesis proposes to replace the adaptation used to select VLC table for coding of the refinement coefficient by signaling to the decoder which table should be used for which macroblock type (Inter or Intra) in scalable ...
Device Level Vacuum Packaged Microbolometers On Flexible Substrates
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Micromachined microbolometers on flexible substrate have been fabricated and characterized. Liquid polyimide PI5878G made by HD Microsystems has been used to form the flexible substrate. Semiconducting Yttrium-Barium-Copper-Oxide ...
Emulation Of ASIC Based Network Processor On A FPGA Platform
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
ABSTRACT
Exponential increase of device sizes and complexity of ASICs mandate the need
for design verification to meet timing specifications and functionality requirements.
Verification techniques are broadly implemented ...
Fiber Optic Scanner Using Electromagnetic Actuation With Different Ferromagnetic Materials
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A fiber optic scanner capable of scanning medical imaging actuated by an external magnetic field is designed and characterized using different magnetized and non magnetized ferromagnetic materials. Cobalt, Iron, Nickel, ...
Nonlinear Control Of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) Devices
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Different actuation principles have been developed for MEMS but electrostatic actuators are the most common. A significant drawback in the use of electrostatic actuators for some applications is their nonlinear voltage to ...
H-infinity Output Feedback Control: Application To Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This dissertation presents new necessary and sufficient conditions for static output-feedback control of linear time-invariant systems using the H-Infinity approach. Simplified conditions are derived which only require the ...
